Sand Temple
For The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks on the Nintendo DS.
The game puts the name the player picks where these lines say Link.
This heat is something else. I'd just melt...if I had a body, that is. Tee hee! Seriously, though, I can't help but wonder what's become of my poor body...
Want to board the train? Yep. Not now.
Very well. Let's be on our way, Link!
Hmm, yes, I suppose we should look around here a bit more. Let's do that!
Oh? All right then, as you wish.
We should do what we can to help Rael with his Cucco study. Anyway, shall we go? Sure! Hold on.
I hope Rael's Cucco study goes well... OK, shall we get going? Yes. Wait.
I wonder what those three trials will be like... Shall we get going? Yep! Not yet.
Find me by blasting the area where the gazes of the big statues meet.
Yaaaaaaaaaawn! That was a nice nap! Do not dwell on what's inside. Instead, turn your gaze outward. There are no statues here.
Yaaaaaaaaaawn! That was a nice nap! The lake forms the sea. The paths forms the rails.
Hm? Oh, you mean Embrose. Yes, he can be a bit stuffy at times. Anyway, you came here to fix the tracks, right? Exactly! Nope.
Now that's music to my ears. After all, you are a key component in restoring this area's lost Spirit Tracks. I take it that you've heard of the Lokomos' songs then. Of course! I forget.
You're being completely serious? Well, don't mind me then.
Young man...be honest with me now. You've come to restore our tracks, yes? It's true. Nope!
Each area has its own special song that restores the Spirit Tracks there. That song consists of two parts that are played with two different instruments. When the parts are played together, the song emerges. Let's start by practicing the part you'll be playing. Listen carefully and repeat what I play. When you get it, put your flute down.
As you know, each song is a duet that requires two instruments. I'll teach you your part now, so listen closely. Then play what I just played! When you think you've got a handle on it, set down your flute for a moment.
Um...hi. Nice to meet you. You are the keeper of this realm, aren't you? Anjean told us about you.
Oh, hello there! So wonderful you could make it, Your Highness. And you too, young man! Call me Rael; it's my name! I am the guardian of the Sand Realm!
The Lokomo of this realm is awfully different from Embrose, don't you think?
That was music to my ears. Would you care to try a real performance now? Or would you like to practice more? Perform! Practice.
All right, let's get started. And don't let my part confuse you, young man!
OK, let's take it from the top. I'll play your part, so pay attention!
What was that? Didn't you see me signaling that it was your turn?
You can't just play whatever you feel like, young man! That's called noise, not music!
Your timing is off. Hmm... I bet you missed your cue to start playing. Wait for my sign and then play your part. You can do it!
Improvisation is nice and all, but it won't do for this song. You must play the notes that you practiced. And don't let my part confuse you, all right?
Hmm... That was a little scattered. If you really want to pull this off, we have to play our parts correctly.
Ready to try it again? Or do you want to practice? Try again! Practice! No.
Let's take it from the top. I'll play your part again, so pay attention!
Very well then. Come talk to me when your mind is clear and you're ready to try again.
The Spirit Tracks to the Sand Temple are restored!
...Now there is something I must tell you. In order to reach the Sand Temple, you must pass three trials. First, you will encounter the big eye that looms in the shadows. Then you will need to navigate the twisted tunnels. And finally, you will face the impenetrable temple. What awaits you there, you'll have to see with your own eyes, young man.
Are you ready to perform now? Or do you want to practice first? Perform. Practice. Neither.
All right! Just remember, we each have our own parts to play! When I give you the sign, start playing the part you practiced earlier.
All right then. I'm going to show you your part once more. Listen carefully, OK?
I see... Well, when you're ready, come talk to me again.
Very well. What trial would you like to know about? First. Second. Third.
To get to the Sand Temple, you must pass three trials. First, you will encounter the big eye that looms in the shadows. Second, you will traverse the twisted tunnels. And finally, you will face the impenetrable temple. What awaits you there, you must discover with your own eyes, young man.
Hey, aren't you the young man from earlier? Did you make it to the temple? Well, I've got a favor to ask you. Do you know about the birds called Cuccos? They are flightless. But when cornered, they can call their friends to unleash an amazing power. I want to study this phenomenon more closely... My goal is to harness this unbelievable Cucco power for the good of mankind. And this is where you come in, young man. Would you bring me some Cuccos? The more Cuccos, the better. At the very least, I'd like five. Once you bring them to me, I'll give you something nice. Thanks!
I see you've brought me some Cuccos. ...They are for me, right? Right. No.
Oh, you're delivering them somewhere else? Well, that's a shame... I hope next time you'll give me priority. Remember, I need at least five. And, of course, I'll give you something nice for them! OK? Thank you!
Eh? Do you have trouble counting, young man? There aren't five of them here. Well, all right. I suppose I can give you this at least!
Next time, please bring at least five Cuccos. I'll make it worth your while. Thank you kindly!
You've brought me so many Cuccos! Well, color this customer satisfied! Thank you!
You can bring me Cuccos anytime. The more Cuccos, the better! Bye now!
It's that time again... Time for more Cuccos! Will you bring me some? The more the better. I'll give you something nice. Thanks!
Eh? So, you will be giving me the Cuccos after all? Exactly. No.
Well, maybe next time you can bring me some. I'll give you something nice! Remember, I need at least five Cuccos!
Hey, remember those Cuccos I asked you for? Well, I still need lots! You've got to bring at least five Cuccos. I'll give you something nice in return. If you think you'll forget, why don't you write it down? Thanks again!
You know those Cuccos I'm after? Well, the more you can bring, the better! I need at least five. And don't worry about your reward--it'll be good! If you think you might forget, why not write yourself a note? Thanks!
I see you've brought those Cuccos I was after! Who knew you were such a mind reader? Uh... Those Cuccos ARE for me, right? Of course! No.

I'm surprised there's a station way out here. I wonder why it's here?
Wow, you were really amazing, Link! I'm no good at this sort of puzzle, so I'm really impressed with you!
Nice job, Link! You cleared those puzzles right out! Hmm... The architect of this place is quite the whiz.
All right! Let's go!
Is that right? Did you have a sudden vision or something?
Wow, you did it! Nice job, Link! Even Teacher would've been stumped by this one, and he loves puzzles. When everything finally settles down, I'd like to bring him here...
So, would you like to get going, Link? Yep. Not yet.
Really? Well, I don't think there's anything for us to do here...
You did it! Nice job, Link! But I wonder what the three trials are going to be like. Anyway, let's get going to the Sand Temple!
Thank you so much, Rael!
Stay safe as you retrieve the Bow of Light.
You completed the duet with Rael, the Lokomo of the Sand Realm! The Ocean rail map has started glowing! New tracks have appeared!
