Bannan Island... ~The Wayfaring Island~
Cannon Game Stand
Who knew that was going to be such a big deal? I guess all that running around was worth it! Let's go outside and try out the mysterious...great spin attack!
Look at the stone tablet on the right.
Look at the stone tablet to the side.
Look at the stone tablet on the left!
...If you look closely, something is scribbled here in very small letters. "I buried a little something nice between the two treasure chests!"
~Old Wayfarer's House~
- Old Wayfarer
Ah! This is the place for those who hunger for the romance of adventure! This is the Wayfaring Island, young man. Ahaha!
- Old Wayfarer
So, go on...tell me! Did you find...it? It?Umm...
- Old Wayfarer
Hey, now! You can tell me! There are no secrets between men of adventure! You came to this distant island in search of the elusive beast... The mystical creature that bewitches sailors from the waters of this island... You came in search of the mythical mermaid, right? Huh?No
- Old Wayfarer
What?! Wayfarers must always be looking for adventure! In my search for the mystical creature, the mermaid... I sacrificed many of life's pleasures...friends, family, good snacks... I gave it all up to search for the mermaid. Take this pool, for example!
- Old Wayfarer
That is where the majestic creature will lounge once I capture her! This pool cost a hefty fortune...for a man who follows his wayfaring heart. You are young. With age, I have learned to approach life's quests with passion!
- Old Wayfarer
So, young man, if you see a mermaid, you'll tell me right away, won't you? We men of adventure must stick together!
- Old Wayfarer
The mermaid, she is a sly, elusive creature. She will not show herself if monsters lurk nearby. If you see one, you must get her attention! Show off your wayfaring heart!
Only those with the power to shatter rock will find the path to a new game.
- Old Wayfarer
Ah! Young man! Have you found her, the mermaid? YesNot yet
- Old Wayfarer
I thought so...
- Old Wayfarer
WHAT?! My wayfaring heart is filled with the thrill and romance of adventure! You found the mermaid, and she enjoys listening to old wayfarer's tales?! And she said that she would come visit me one day?!
- Old Wayfarer
Ahh... I'm a fool to believe such a wild tale. How could you toy with the hopes of my romantic, wayfaring heart?! I've been waiting here, but no mermaids fond of tales of wayfaring have come.
- Old Wayfarer
Or...could it be? She must have met another old wayfarer to enchant with her mermaidish song...
- Old Wayfarer
Haha! I finally met the mermaid of my dreams! Never would I have dreamed the mermaid would come to ME! You had a hand in this, young man, and so I want to give you this!
- Old Wayfarer
I had that fishing rod made so that I could hook the mythical mermaid, but... I obviously don't need it anymore...so you can have it!
- Old Wayfarer
Oh, but I have quite a challenge to stoke the fire of adventure in your heart! You must sail the seas, fishing for mighty catches like I did in my youth. While at sea, keep an eye out for fish shadows! Go to where the fish are! When you are above them, tap Fish from the Menu! And that's when the true romance of the sea will grip you!
- Old Wayfarer
Keep your eyes on the map when you're steaming across the open sea. Like magic, fish shadows will appear... Ahh, the sea has many mysteries! When you're right above one, tap Fish on the Menu to use your fishing rod!
- Old Wayfarer
If you catch a big one, come show it to me! It'll be worth your voyage.
- Old Wayfarer
Mmmph... I wonder if the majestic mermaid is off with some other older man?
- Old Wayfarer
Ahh! You have proven the true passion for adventure you possess, young man! Your present is in the treasure chest in back. Take it with you!
- Old Wayfarer
Wood heart rations! Ah, many thanks! And what do you need?
- Old Wayfarer
If you've got the time to spend loitering around here, why don't you go fishing?
- Old Wayfarer
Are you going to show me the great fish you caught? OKNo
- Old Wayfarer
Are you going to show me the fish you got? SureNo
- Joanne
...OWWWWWW! HEY! What are you DOING?!
- Joanne
What's your problem? So I like getting dressed up like a mythical creature! I'm a human being, treat me like one! I'm not some freak you can throw stuff at! Don't just stand there staring at me! Apologize! Sorry?I'm sorry!
- Joanne
Hmmmpf... OK, as long as you understand now that you can't go doing that. Maybe I'm wearing my mergirl costume, but I'm still me. And isn't this swimsuit cute?! I made it myself! Uh...Hrm...
- Joanne
No way! You're saying there's an old wayfarer who thinks I'm a real mermaid?! Wow...well, that's not my problem, you know! Er...well... I mean... Between us... I've always thought that wayfaring tales were neat... In a high-seas adventure kind of way. Maybe we're fated to meet... I'm gonna go to that old man's hut and visit him! I hope he raves on and on about the romance of the sea. Thank you!
- Joanne
Oh, it's you! I found this old wayfarer, all thanks to you!
- Joanne
He's great, always raving about the romance of the sea and call of adventure! I'm going to pretend to be a mermaid for a bit and let him think I'm the real thing! Shhhh! It's our little secret...
- Joanne
Tee-hee, how are you?
- Joanne
I'm so happy, floating the day away...
- Joanne
Ahhhhh... I'm the happiest mergirl alive...
- Joanne
Hey! What have you got there? Come on... You can show me!
- Joanne
Show her the letter from Jolene? YesNo
- Joanne
Greedy!
- Joanne
Oh! It's a letter from Jolene, my big sister!
- Joanne
Awww, you came here just to deliver it to me? Thank you so much!
- Joanne
I have to tear into it and read it right now. I love letters! ......... Tee-hee! Oh, Jolene...she never changes...
- Joanne
She's still into dressing up as a pirate... I'm glad she's happy with her hobby. Oh, but enough about my sister and her obsession with pirate costumes... I should give you something to thank you for delivering this to me! Here you go!
- Joanne
It's OK, really! I don't need it. Go on, it's yours!
- Joanne
Ahh, Jolene... I wonder if she's caught that wily man yet... Tee-hee! If she doesn't take him by swordpoint, she might lose her shot!
Tee-hee! Did you hear, Link?
Another older man? Tee-hee! You think he's talking about the lazy old guy who drives our ship?
- Old Wayfarer
Ah, young man! Show me what you hauled in! SureNo
- Old Wayfarer
Ah, young wayfarer, show me what you caught! SureNo
- Old Wayfarer
What?!
- Old Wayfarer
Where is it? Heh heh! Let's see it...
- Old Wayfarer
This... This is the legendary fish, Neptoona!
- Old Wayfarer
This is the first time I have gazed into its mighty eyes! For you to have caught the living embodiment of the romance of the sea... Young man! You have the most adventurous heart! For truly seizing the spirit of wayfaring adventure, a gift!
- Old Wayfarer
Our mutual passion for the wayfaring life bonds us as brothers! Bravo, young man! You have followed your heart! You are truly... the legendary romantic!
- Old Wayfarer
This sword is sharp, like my passion for adventure! This is a rusty swordfish!
- Old Wayfarer
Heh heh! Impressive... Rusty swordfish are backbreakers, even for bold men of passion like myself! Nice work, young man. Because your skills quite equal mine, you more than deserve this gift.
- Old Wayfarer
Ah! I think a courageous fisherman such as yourself can do it. Lately, fish shadows have been sighted on the sea's surface. Rumors are swirling among the bold and hearty fishermen... The legendary fish, Neptoona, surfaces once again! If you were to catch one, you would truly be...the legendary romantic!
- Old Wayfarer
Such a stern yet distinctive and manly expression...like my own! There is no doubt. This is a loovar!
- Old Wayfarer
Phew! Impressive! Even for a romantic fisherman like myself, it's a rare treat to see a loovar! Nice work, young man. Looks like you've got the aura that beckons the fish. I think this gift is appropriate. It's yours!
- Old Wayfarer
As long as you have that, it should be easier for you to catch great fish! When you've caught a rare one, don't hesitate to come see me!
- Old Wayfarer
This is a common fish that I have seen many times on the seas... But there are many fish in the sea. Becoming a true wayfarer takes time.
- Old Wayfarer
You still haven't caught the big one, have you? The sea still hides many prized fish... You need to show your wayfaring spirit!
- Old Wayfarer
Hey, now! Did you think you could impress me with such a common fish? That's a bit presumptuous of you... True wayfarers have standards, you know!
- Old Wayfarer
It seems you have yet to catch a new fish...
- Old Wayfarer
The legendary fish, Neptoona... It's the essence of the romance of the sea! Young man! You follow your wayfaring heart! I salute you, legendary romantic!
- Old Wayfarer
Hoo-yah! That's quite a rusty swordfish! It gives me a hankering to stare into the steely eyes of Neptoona! Heh heh!
- Old Wayfarer
That loovar is a handsome, passionate fish! Yes, it has a certain fishy manliness! Keep bringing these legendary fish to me!
- Old Wayfarer
What's this?! Look here! There's a little stowfish latched on to the fish! That little fish of pure adventure symbolizes the wayfarer's lifestyle. You... You're naive, yes, but you know what it is to follow your heart. Heh heh! I think this little discovery deserves a small gift!
- Old Wayfarer
You're very bold, young wayfarer!
- Joanne
Oh, wow...look! Look here! There's a little stowfish latched on to the fish! That little fish of pure adventure symbolizes the wayfarer's lifestyle. You... You're young and innocent, but you already follow your adventurous heart. It reminds me of someone I know... The wayfaring life is so exciting, isn't it? You know what? I'm going to give you a present!
- Joanne
I think I'm going to have to call you young wayfarer from now on!
- Joanne
The Old Wayfarer has set sail in search of even more wayfaring in his life. I'll look at your fish for you, though.
- Joanne
The Old Wayfarer has set sail in search of even more wayfaring in his life. I'll look at your fish for you, young wayfarer.
- Joanne
The Old Wayfarer has set sail in search of even more wayfaring in his life. From the way he looked when he left, I'd say he won't be coming back soon. If you need something, you'll have to head out to sea and find him.
- Joanne
Do you want to show me the fish you caught? YesNo
- Joanne
OK, so I may not look like it, but I know my fish!
- Joanne
Show me! Show me!
You got the fishing rod! Tap Fish from the menu while sailing to use it.
You got a Big Catch Lure! You can catch a ton of big fish with this lure!
- Linebeck
So you want to get on the ship? Set sail!Wait
- Linebeck
Really, kid?
- Linebeck
It's the weird little islands like this that have treasure. Wanna set sail, kid? YesNot yet
- Linebeck
Hey, kid, can I talk to you for a second? OK, get this: a little while ago, this girl came up and started talking to me! She had really tan skin, and she was really spirited. I'd say saucy, even!
- Linebeck
Wahooooo!
- Linebeck
But the thing is, I think she might have thought I was someone else. I only had a chance to say "Hey, there. Hello!" Then she disappeared... Well, the life of a dashing sea captain isn't always easy.
- Salvatore
So are you going to play or what? It's 20 Rupees a game for kids. Yes or no? SureNo thanks
- Salvatore
Oh. You're back. It's 20 Rupees a game. You wanna play or what? YesNo
- Salvatore
It's 20 Rupees a game...
- Salvatore
NO?! Eh...whatever. Come back soon. If you want.
- Salvatore
Yeah, OK. Uh, let's see...
- Salvatore
You already know the rules and all that, right? YeahHuh?
Pick a treasure chest. You only get one thing.
- Salvatore
Huh...?
- Salvatore
Well, um...
- Salvatore
The record is … points. So good luck and all that.
- Salvatore
Well, you got … points... As consolation prize, I guess you can pick a treasure chest to claim it.
- Salvatore
Well...looks like you got … points... You still get a prize. Pick a treasure chest to claim it.
- Salvatore
Not bad. You got … points... I'll give you a prize for playing. Pick a chest to claim it.
- Salvatore

- Salvatore
Oh, yeah... You beat your record. Way to go...or whatever. You qualify for this bonus prize. Take it!
- Salvatore
Uhh, OK. It's 20 Rupees a game for kids. Wanna play? SureNo
- Salvatore
Thanks for playing... And don't leave any personal belongings behind.
- Salvatore
Thanks for playing. Come back again sometime. Or don't.
- Salvatore
Ah! This game of skill takes place on the vast stage of the open sea...
- Salvatore
Leap on board, prepare to set sail, and raise anchor!
- Salvatore
On the horizon looms a blue target...
- Salvatore
Man the cannon! Take aim! And... KABOOOOOOOOOM!
- Salvatore
Heeeeeoooooooo...
- Salvatore
SPLARSHBANGKABOOM! You obliterate the target, earning 100 points!
- Salvatore
Suddenly, a red target sails into view! It fears nothing, for it can't be broken!
- Salvatore
Every time you pound it with cannon fire, you earn 20 points! BLAPOWWW!
- Salvatore
Yeah, so, did you get all that or what? YepNo
- Joanne
No way! That's the legendary fish, Neptoona!
- Joanne
You just caught Neptoona. It's the first time I've ever seen one, and I spend a lot of time in the sea! I can't believe you caught such a magnificent and delicious fish... I'm blown away! I have to reward you for such an amazing feat! Take this!
- Joanne
That's something that I treasured very near to my heart. Tee-hee... I hope you treasure it, too!
- Joanne
Whoa...that thing is pointy! Careful with it. That's a rusty swordfish, isn't it?
- Joanne
Mmmmmm! I love any fish, but the rusty swordfish is melt-in- your-mouth tasty! You're one amazing young man, you know that? Well then, think of this gift as my investment in your bright future!
- Joanne
Tee-hee... I know you'll do a favor for me, won't you? You see, mysterious fish shadows have been appearing around the sea. I hear from the local fishermen that they think... The legendary fish, Neptoona, has returned to these seas! It would be amazing if you caught one. You'd be... the legendary romantic!
- Joanne
Oh! What a weird, almost human face! This is a loovar!
- Joanne
Oh! I know my fish, and I know people rarely catch a loovar. You don't look like it, but you're really at home on the sea, aren't you? Consider this gift a little investment in your future!
- Joanne
With that, you should have an easier time catching those lovely fish! A lovely lure for lovely fish! How...romantic!
- Joanne
Ugh. I've seen this fish more times than I can remember. I love fish and all things fishy, and even I'm a bit disappointed.
- Joanne
Uhhh... This is a common fish. Nothing special about it! A fish like this isn't going to impress me. My heart isn't even fluttering...
- Joanne
Pfft. I could scoop a pot in the sea and catch 10 of these fish. So common. The other guy always caught nothing but the rarest of fish for me.
- Joanne
Hrm... It doesn't look like you've caught any special, rare fish. My heart is...bored.
- Joanne
That's the legendary fish! That's...NEPTOONA! I can't help myself. Just looking at it makes me drool! You're the greatest! You're the most amazing, legendary romantic!
- Joanne
Te-hee! What an impressive rusty swordfish... Now if I could taste the legendary Neptoona, grilled to perfection!
- Joanne
Tee-hee! That loovar is a really handsome fish! Keep bringing fish to me, especially ones that make my heart flutter!
