Anouki

Heh-CHOOOOOOOO!!!

What? How do we keep from freezing in a place like this? Come on, guy! Toughen up. And pack a little blubber on ya. Heh heh. Heh-CHOO!!!

You, guy! I'm gonna call you naive little guy!

Us Anouki... We gotta reputation for having sensitive hearts and refined speech... 'Cause, ya know, that's what we're all about!

You, guy! Ya really warmed up to our little island, huh?

You! Guy! You came from out there? Outside the ice? Hey, what's your deal? Never seen an Anouki before? You gonna stare all day at us? Or can you talk too? What? You wanna know where the pure metals are? How should I know? You gotta take a question like that to the Island Chief. Me? No idea.

Well... Those Yook got it hard too, I bet.

Those Yook, they're hairy, crazed weirdos, I tell ya!

The Yook tribe that lives over in the ice fields to the east are crazed animals! Those beasts are so crazy I don't even wanna get into it. THAT crazy.

Ya know, I feel good. It's strange, I gotta say, but I'm just feeling good right now.

What? You looking for the Island Chief's house? YesNo

Ya know, here's an idea... Instead of asking me, go read the signs they got around here!

Not really?

So I guess peace and tranquility's been restored and all that? Man, am I good!

You, guy! Somethin' wrong? Go stop in on the Island Chief. That's what he's there for. Stopping in.

There's gotta be more than one kind, am I right? Old stories are for old guys, if ya ask me.

So I guess that Azurine pure metal thing was ours once. But then we got in a big spat with the Yook in the east and it got nabbed. That was, like, ages and ages ago. Grandpa used to RANT all about it when we sat around the stew pot.

Go back to your stupid warm houses! I'm happy freezing out here.

Ughh... Keep your distance, guy. Yeah, I'm Nobodo. Yeah, I got no house. And yeah, they call me "No-abodo." Real clever. I got no "abode." Ha ha. Go on, laugh at my frozen tears. Actually, know what? I like being sad. But what do you care? Ya want something from me. That's why you're here. Here's a secret for ya. Anouki WITH HOUSES bury stuff in front of the signs outside their houses. We Anouki are tricky like that. What? Forget it. I'm not saying any more.

You, guy! Nice work.

What, something on your mind, guy? You need help, just ask! Me? Oh, no. Don't go asking me for anything. Go bug the Island Chief.

You gotta ask important people about important things.

Huh? The pure metal? Azurine? Whaddya doing asking me about something important like that?

You're one hard-nosed, Azurine-getting animal!

But maybe that's how these tribal rivalries go, you know?

We Anouki and the Yook have been rivals for I don't know how long. I gotta be honest... I don't even know how it all started.

You got no fur or antlers! Don't go catching a sniffle out here, heh heh!

You, guy! I got word from the Island Chief about you. You wanna head through here or what? YesNo

Whoa! Wasn't expecting THAT answer.

The cave up there goes to the Great Ice Field. Hey, if you want to keep that life you got going, don't go there. Just saying.

You, guy! Where do ya think you're going? Not in here, you're not. Why? What do you mean, why? Use your head! This cave goes to the Great Ice Field!

Did you see it?! That hairy Yook! You saw it, right?!

So ya wanna know about the hairy beasts of the Great Ice Field? Just don't ask. You don't wanna know what those Yook do...

There's a whole pack of nasty Yook roaming around the Great Ice Field. WHAT? How are they nasty? Oh, guy, you DO NOT want to know.

Ya got questions? Talk to the Island Chief. Ya got trouble? Talk to the Island Chief. That's just what ya do around here.

Maybe you heard, but the Anouki Estates are up north.

Head north to go to the Anouki Estates. Lots of shmancy houses there!

So there's this one island I've always wanted to hit up...

What? Ya already asking where it is? I was just getting to that part!

So like I was saying, this Isle of Ember place is a straight shot west of here.

Sounds nice and hot... I'd be sweating like a pot of lobster stew!

You, guy! Listen, I wanna keep this between you and me... I been dealing with a bit of a dilemma, if you know what I mean...

I haven't had to deal with something like this in, like, a decade!

Oh, you wanna know what happened? I can't go telling you that! Do these lips look like they blab?

You're gonna have to ask the Island Chief.

I gotta say, ya don't look it, but ya got smarts, guy. Big smarts!

Nice work, guy! Very nice.

It's a wooly world we live in, guy. Wooly and hairy and wild.

Daydream for a second, and they might get ya!

Poof! You're gone, just like that.

You got the respect of someone who's jumped on a peg or three. Hoooo! That's bold. Fearless, even!

You gotta remember you can jump on these peg things. Maybe it'll help you out of a bad situation later. But what do I know? I'm just flapping my antlers.

You, guy! Jump on up on top of that peg thing right there. It's fine. What? You hate pegs? They do something to ya? Go on, give it a try!

You, guy! I saw ya jump on that peg thing, and I almost fell on my antlers. Quite a move ya pulled there. I see that, and I have to give ya something! Here, take this!

Whoa! Incredible!

You're something amazing, ya know that, guy?

If you're looking for a thank-you gift, you're out of luck! Or were ya looking for a compliment? Yes!No...

Well then, get back. Heh!

Ready? Here comes your fancy compliment... ......

What?

Looks like you got your hands on that Azurine! Nice going, guy.

You, guy! I'm Aroo! No, seriously! The real deal. So here's the story... There I was, sipping my stew, when all of a sudden a crazy Yook bagged me! Maybe it was when ya exposed the Yook who was pretending to be me... But that barrier thing that was keeping me locked up dropped, and I escaped! So, uh...thanks for that!

You look bored, little man!

Hey, guy...this is serious business. Ya get this wrong, and it's not good. Oooooh, boy...

You didn't listen to a thing I said, did ya? You're... ALL WRONG! How embarassing!

The ones who say that others are honest won't lie to you. Why, you ask? Because then there'd be two liars. The trick is to focus on the ones who call the others liars. Keep track of who calls who a liar. Then it's just a matter of comparing them. The answer should be clear.

Yeah, I'm Hintobo. Whatcha want? Looking for the liar, huh? I know how to spot one. Gimme 100 Rupees. Maybe I'll talk. No way!OK

I see.

OK then, listen up. Don't worry your head about guys who say that other guys don't lie. The guys who say that others are honest won't lie to you. Why, you ask? Because then there would be two liars. Why again, you ask? There is only one liar. So, knowing that... Look at the ones who accuse others of lying, and you'll find your liar! Hah hah! Brilliant, right? No?

Little man... Have you ever looked inside your wallet?

I'm Hintobo. I hear things. I know people. And I heard you're looking for the liar. I can give ya a hint, but it's not gonna come cheap. Give me 100 Rupees! No way!OK

You, guy! You can walk around with your antlers held high!

Speakin' metaphorically, we got our moist, frosted hunk of cake to live on. And we generously gave the Yook the dry, unfrosted morsel of cake to the east.

Nobody thought the trouble between the Anouki and Yook was a good thing. So we Anouki and those hairy Yook got together 100 years ago... And entered into a little "peace agreement." I see... Peace?

Was it fair? Yeah it was fair. Yeah...

It's a peace treaty, you know... Peace... Peace is like... ......... I think it's like a piece of cake.

You, guy! So you got the Azurine, eh? Lemme just say one thing. You can't stop me. I gotta say my piece. "Good going, guy!"

He's...everywhere... When I start getting suspicious... I get a little paranoid. You're not that Yook at all, are you? You knew?No!

WHAT?! YOU'RE A YOOK?! Uh... ...Really? You serious? .........

AGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!

I KNEW IT!

You, guy! Did ya hear the big news? One of those hairy Yook has sneaked over here! I heard.Huh?

What? You know?! Heyyyyyy... Maybe... You're the hairy Yook dressed up like one of us! Got me!No

Whaddya mean?!

I've got nothing else to say to you! I'm serious. I've got nothing more to tell you!

What's wrong with you, Wrong Boy? I've got nothing much to say to a boy who gets everything so wrong!

Hey, guy! I mean, Wrong Boy! That's you, Link! You don't look like it. HEH!

Well, well. If it isn't Wrong Boy, Link! I don't want people to start gossiping about me, so don't talk to me!

Hey, guy! What're you doing looking at me like that? You telling me I'm a suspect? You saying I'm a Yook in disguise? It's you!No

Get back! I said, stay back! I'm innocent! If you come at me, I swear I'll have to protect myself! Don't come any closer! Think about what you're doing! Don't be stupid! All you have to do is say you made a mistake! Book him!Oops...

I told you, I'm innocent! Why? Why?! Please stop! I can't take all this intimidation. If you keep it up, I might pass out... Oh! Ahh! My heart... I'm getting dizzy! I'm so scared... I... I... ......

Eeeeeeeeee!

Phew...

Yeah, I thought so. By the way, Mazo is honest. He won't lie to save his antlers!

What's with the funny look in your eye? It's making me nervous. You don't think that I'm the Yook, do ya? Are you saying I'm the prime suspect?! It's you!No

What?! No way can you be saying I'm the suspect. You don't think I'm the Yook in disguise, do you? Yes!No way!

They call me Dobo. Mazo's real honest. The guy never lies!

They call me Dobo. You're looking for the Yook who's impersonating one of us, right? There's one easy way to tell, you know. The Yook are liars! And Mazo's honest. The guy never lies! I just had to get that off my chest.

Hey, GUY! What're you doing, walking in here like you own the place?!

Don't go opening people's drawers like they're yours. Not that I have any drawers or anything.

What do you want? Not that I have anything.

Hey... It's a Yook...from the Yook tribe!

I thought so! See, either Mazo or Aroo is lying to you... And that's the truth!

I'm Kumu. See, either Mazo or Aroo is lying to you... And that's the truth!

Yeah, I'm Kumu. And yeah, the Yook you're looking for is a liar. No doubt about it. I'd say either Mazo or Aroo is lying to you. Thought you'd want to know!

Wow. It's a rough world, isn't it?

I thought so! Gumo and me don't lie, so neither of us is the Yook!

Yeah, I'm Fofo. Gumo and me, we never lie. It's a rule we got, so neither of us is the Yook!

Yeah, my name's Fofo. You heard that right. I'm sure ya know this, but the Yook, they do nothing but lie. And Gumo never lies. Just sayin'...

Gah! Scary! Scary!

I thought so! I say either Fofo or Aroo is lying. Believe me!

My name's Gumo. Believe me, either Fofo or Aroo is lying!

My name's Gumo. Either Fofo or Aroo has gotta be lying to you. I just wanted to tell you that...

So...thanks for that!

Hey, guy! I'm doing better. My emotional trauma is healing up nice.

Stuff like this is bound to happen in l-life. It doesn't s-scare me... Shiver...shiver...

I thought so. Dobo and me only speak the truth! Neither of us could be a Yook!

My name is Mazo. Me and Dobo, we only tell the truth. Honest! Only the truth!

They call me Mazo. I don't care if you believe me, but me and Dobo only tell the truth. Just thought I'd say that.
