Cutscenes
This is a tale from long ago. It's the tale of the first settlers of this land.
In the beginning, the people followed the spirits of good, and all was peaceful. But that era of peace soon came to an end.
The evil Demon King rose to power, destroying everything in his path. The spirits of good had no choice but to face him in battle.
The war that ensued seemed to last an eternity, and much blood was shed. Finally, the spirits subdued the Demon King, though they could not destroy him. Their powers were greatly depleted.
With their remaining power, they buried the Demon King's spirit in the ground. They built shackles to imprison him, and a tower that acted as a lock. These shackles cover the land to this day.
With their power drained, the spirits of good returned to the heavens. Suddenly bereft of both demons and spirits, this land was entrusted to us.
Well? Do I know how to tell a story or what? I call it "Spirits and Demons...at War!" I only do this show once a year, you know! It's a blasted masterpiece! A...a...a blasterpiece!
What's this? You fell asleep during my magnum opus?
Plus, I'm not getting any younger here. This story might be the only thing that proves I existed. Can't you pay attention for one minute... And listen to an old man's final creation?
Are you listening to me, Link? Sort of. Zzzz...
OK, OK, I can take a hint. Sorry for boring you.
Look, here comes your mentor. Hello there, Alfonzo!
Why are you still here, Link? Come on now--wipe the sleep out of your eyes!
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up!
Today is a very important day, you know! It's your audience with the princess! What?! Uh, right.
Don't tell me you forgot! You won't amount to much if you don't pay attention.
Don't you want your engineer certificate? Well, the graduation ceremony is at the castle. Princess Zelda herself is going to do the honors!
I'm heading to the station now, so meet me there. Remember, the station is up the road. Don't get lost! Got it? Good! Then get a move on!
See you later, Niko.
I can't believe this! You know, Link... A lot of people would love to be in your position. As my roommate, you get to see my work for free!
