Cutscenes
Raising your head without permission? You ill-mannered urchin!
Don't pay any attention to Chancellor Cole. You must be the new engineer. What's your name?
Oh, Link is a wonderful name! Well, Link, by the power vested in me, I hereby proclaim you...
We're wasting our time here, Your Highness! Please just hurry up and finish this foolish ceremony.
...Very well, Chancellor.
Thank you, Teacher.
I hereby recognize our newest royal engineer... Link! Work hard, for we all rely on you, Link.
You got your royal engineer's certificate! Now you're a full-fledged engineer!
Shh--take this. No! Don't say a word right now.
Read this later...and beware of the chancellor!
The ceremony's over, so I suggest you move along. Why don't you go...polish your train or something.
Not that it matters much.
The thing will be useless before long...
Your Highness! Look over there!
What's happening to the Tower of Spirits?
Out for a leisurely stroll, Your Highness? Tsk, tsk, tsk! You know that's not allowed!
Allowed by who? You, Chancellor Cole?
Who else? Who do you think is really in charge?
...
My goodness, pretending to be human is exhausting. Who knew that chancellor was just another word... for royal babysitter?!
I had meant to keep up the ruse a bit longer.
But you pushed me to this, Princess.
What are you talking about?
I'm talking about your infernal meddling!
But now that those vile tracks are disappearing, the time is finally at hand!
All we need now is...
A little help--hee hee--from you, Your Highness!
I don't know who these two are, Your Highness. But with your permission...
I'd be happy to teach them some manners.
Nyee hee hee hee hee! How gallant! How brave! How incredibly foolhardy!
Enough out of you! My family has served the royal house for generations!
Melodrama bores me. Byrne, would you kindly dispose of this fool?
This man speaks the truth, Cole. His movements are not those of an amateur.
But he is only human.
I told you, I will defend the princess at any cost!
And I told you. You're only human.
Nyee hee hee hee hee! Oh, Byrne, you do know how to put on a show!
It was hardly a fair fight, Cole.
Help me, Link!
No! Don't come any closer!
Good work, Byrne. That takes care of the first step of our plan.
Nyee hee hee hee hee! Our work is done here. Come now, Byrne!
Bringing in the boy and the engineer didn't help either.
...Can you...see me, Link?
...I must apologize to Alfonzo for what happened. And to you too.
I never knew the chancellor was capable of such evil. All these years, and I never noticed what he really was. I was a fool.
And the Tower of Spirits breaking apart... You saw it too, didn't you, Link?
It must have something to do with the dark forces.
After all, they made the Spirit Tracks disappear. This must be the handiwork of Cole and his cronies.
But what could their goal be?
He said something about the Spirit Tracks vanishing. What did he mean by that?
And why would they take my body away with them? What will they do with it?
Oh, I'm sorry. It seems I'm much...lighter without my body.
Listen, Link. Let's try again to go to the Tower of Spirits. Now more than ever, we must find the tower's sage! But before we go, I want to show you something.
This Spirit Flute is a prized family heirloom. It's been handed down for generations. It originally belonged to one of my ancestors, the one who founded this kingdom. It is my greatest treasure of all.
I can't carry it while I'm in this state, as you can see. But I'm certain it's meant to protect me. I can hardly ask you to do any more for me...
But...will you take this? And will you come to the tower with me? You're the only person I can turn to now.
You got the Spirit Flute! This pan flute will probably come in very handy!
Thank you so much, Link... Now then, shall we go? I will travel alongside you.
