The story

HELLLLP!!!

That was frightening! I was suddenly attacked... Thank you, traveler. What is your name? , is it? I see a on the back of your left hand. That is the sign of a Hyrulean hero! That must be why the beasts fled. I am Impa, nurse to Hyrule's Princess Zelda.

I am looking for a singer named Nayru. Will you help me look, ? I'd feel safer with you nearby.

Zelda asked me to find a singer named Nayru. Will you help me look, ? I'd feel safer with you nearby.

Oh! That's it!

This rock with the is a sign!

Could you move this rock for me, ?

I'll... um... I'll just...

I can't do it...

Thank you... Now let's go.

Where are you going!?!

What are you doing? Hurry up and move this!

Hurry up and move this!

Oh! ! You saved me! To think I was possessed!

............ That Veran lady is frightening. I was forced to do her will, in spite of myself.

Shadows were surrounding the Oracle of Ages, so I came hoping to take her to Hyrule. I had no idea this would happen...

I have failed Zelda... Zelda... She sensed an evil shadow drawing near Nayru and asked me to bring her to Hyrule We should not have forgotten you, the hero of Holodrum. Look what has happened now...

Veran said she'd go back in time. She must be planning to use Nayru's power to launch some sort of plan in the past. Labrynna already feels the effects. If it's true, we must stop her... Uhh! My limbs feel so heavy after what Veran did. I can't move them very easily. ... If the on your left hand is real, then you may be the hero who will save this world. Please help us!

Ah, yes! Zelda entrusted this sword to me. You may use it.

Ah, yes! Zelda entrusted this shield to me. Please use it.

, can you go meet the Maku Tree in Lynna Village? The Maku Tree is the guardian of Labrynna. Surely she can help. Nayru's House is in the woods east of here. I'll be there.

Veran said she'd go back in time. She must hope to use Nayru's powers to launch some plan in the past. Labrynna already feels the effects. ... First Holodrum, now Labrynna faces its doom. I am sorry to ask so much... But we can rely on no other! Please! Save Nayru!

, please save Nayru!

Could there be a hidden room somewhere? I have felt drafts from above...

Hurry! You must save Nayru! The world is falling apart!

Saving Nayru doesn't seem to have ended it... Leave this to me. You go back in time and put a stop to Veran's plans!

!!! Wait!

, I was researching the past and found something awful! Ralph is a descendant of Queen Ambi! Do you know what this means? Ralph lives now because Ambi lived in the past. If Ambi is slain, Ralph will never exist! I came to try to stop Ralph, but I couldn't!

You're the only one who can save Ralph, and all of us, !

! Great timing! This bird just told me that Zelda is on her way to Lynna Village! So I came to meet her, but... Oh, what a mess! A red monster appeared right before my eyes and carried Zelda off! It flew toward the tower... What am I to do? , Zelda is a symbol of hope for the world! If anything happens to her, all hope will be lost! You must save Zelda! Please, , you must find a way to save Zelda!

Zelda!!! You're safe! I was so worried. Why did you come alone to such a dangerous place?

Zelda must be at the top of this tower! Please, , you must find a way to save her!

has taken it, so there's nothing to fear, right, Zelda? For now, we must hide in Nayru's House and await word from . ... You were headed to the mountains in the north- west? I heard there's a trail west of here. Be careful.

What will happen to the villagers?

Zelda's antics frighten me so. , please save Nayru!

Saving Nayru doesn't seem to have to been enough. Please, ! We're counting on you!

If Zelda were here, everything would be fine!

Ahhh! Zelda has been kidnapped! What are we to do now? You must do something, !
