Cutscenes
Our story begins not long ago...
There was a young girl, savvy to the seas and head of a band of pirates. Her name was Tetra. She was pretty, brash, and brave. Tetra and her handsome pirates set out to explore the vast and unfamiliar seas.
One day on a stop at an island, Tetra met a young boy dressed in green. After a series of strange events, the two began traveling together...
They found old ruins, and light enveloped Tetra. At once, she transformed into a beautiful princess. Her lineage traced back to an ancient, ruined kingdom. She was Princess Zelda of the Kingdom of Hyrule.
Just then, a huge, ominous king appeared! He carried Princess Zelda away... The evil king sought the sacred power passed down to Hyrulian princesses. He schemed to take the power and use it himself. The boy chased after him, determined to save the princess...
The boy crossed seas and climbed mountains. The journey was perilous. He slayed evil monsters and used their power to become a true hero. After long and hard adventuring, he defeated the evil king. And beautiful Princess Zelda was rescued at last.
Later, the two set out with the brave pirate crew in search of new lands... Yes, they set sail together! A happy pirate ending!
So what did you think of my amazing paper cutouts? Did you guess that Tetra was really Princess Zelda?! Hey! Link! Are you sleeping, swabbie?
Link! Link!
Stop messing around down there! You're both supposed to be on lookout!
Hah! Some legendary hero you are. Who'd believe you saved me from the evil king?
Princess Zelda, we're nearly at that spot in the sea!
I told you not to call me Zelda! Tetra worked just fine before, you know.
But...you're the princess of a whole kingdom! I can't go treating you like a pirate.
You'd better start trying, Mako! I may be a princess, but I'm a fearsome pirate. I'm traveling the world in search of new lands. And I'm the leader of you salty lot. I'm Tetra!
But enough about that! So this is where the Ghost Ship is said to appear? Stay on the lookout for a creepy-looking ship!
Are you sure this is a good idea? What about all those ships that have gone missing? I say the Ghost Ship is behind all of it!
That's right, Niko. Every ship disappears. And it's all because of that scaaaaaaary Ghost Ship!
G-ghosts...?!
Hey, Tetra! They say these seas are protected, yeah? Something about a spirit called the Ocean King. Wouldn't a spirit like that protect the ships? Unless there really is an evil Ghost Ship...
Don't be ridiculous. There's no such thing as a Ghost Ship! I bet it's just some pirates up to no good.
I'll expose them as a bunch of frauds. And remind them that there are rules to being pirates! I doubt there really is an Ocean King anyway.
Hey...look! The air feels chilly... Eerie, even. I say we take a detour around this creepy place.
Quit being so scared! We're here to see the world, not take detours!
Ship ahoy!
Tetra... I can see a ship... Yeah, a ship...up ahead!
It-it's... THE GHOST SHIP! These waters really are cursed!
And you call yourself a pirate! It's just a ship. But it does look like it could be the Ghost Ship... There might even be a load of treasure on board! That's it. I'm gonna get to the bottom of this!
