Transcript
Link puts down his guitar and stands up, a small group of people clapping for his performance. He bows and wonders to a small cart, packing up his things. He picks up a blanket and a small fairy flies out from under it. A young boy runs into town out of a forest. The crowd Link was playing to suddenly neal. Link, confused, walks over to a girl in the crowd. The girl stares at Rayva in horror. Link goes quiet and turns to the forest, his eyes widen as a group of six Darknuts ride into the village on horseback. One of them rides up to the crowd. The Darknut holds his hand out and an old man in the crowd hands him a bag. This continues with a few other villagers until one boy doesn't give anything in return, staring at the floor. The boy continues to stare at the floor. The boy becomes clearly afraid of the Darknut. The Darknut pulls out a sword and holds it over his head, ready for a strike. He strikes the sword down only to stare in awe, revealing Link has blocked the sword with his arm. The Darknut steps back. The Darknut charges towards Link, who takes out a flute and begins playing it, causing the Darknut's horse to suddenly stop, sending him flying off of it and into a mud puddle. The other Darknuts attempt to grab Link, who once again plays on his flute, this time putting the horses to sleep. He then makes the horses wake back up, turn around and run off with the Darknuts still on their backs. The leader Darknut looks at Link who smiles at him. The Darknut leader instantly runs away back into the forest, still covered in mud. The villagers are shocked at this and instantly run up to Link, thanking him repeatedly. It suddenly cuts to the Darknuts. Their leader wipes the last piece of mud off of his face. More TBA
 * Link: The tales have told of a man so brave he wondered land to land. The tales have told of a beast so foul, he crushed millions in his hand. The hero saved, the beast destroyed, the two where mortal foes. Until one day came when they both came to blows. The hero used a magic sword to stab the beast dead. And the beast's forces knew they lost and quickly turn and fled. The hero wondered off once more, the praise he did abstain. He rode upon his mighty stead, never to be seen again. We long for the day you come once again, come, you wish to be seen. We long for the day we see you again, oh hero... in green.
 * Rayva: So, how did it go this time, Link?
 * Link: Great Rayva. Much like last time, the time before that, and the time before that.
 * Rayva: I'm sure you'll choke one day...
 * Link: You can believe that all you want, it doesn't mean it's true. I've never choked Rayva. No matter how large the crowd gets.
 * Rayva: Even the best of bards have their limits, Link.
 * Link: Well I'll just have to be the first one without any.
 * Rayva: If you think that's possible you're an idiot...
 * Boy: They're here!
 * Link: What exactly is going on?
 * Girl: Neal fool! do you want to be slaughtered?
 * Rayva: It's hard to kill him. Trust me, I know from experience.
 * Rayva: Kidding! jeez, people here really can't take a joke, can they?
 * Darknut: You know the drill at this point...
 * Darknut: ...rupees, boy.
 * Darknut: Where are the rupees?
 * Darknut: You don't have any? well... you know the punishment...
 * Old Man: No! please, he's just a boy!
 * Darknut: I'm very strict with my rules.
 * Darknut: What in the...?
 * Link: You like my gloves? they were a gift from giants. They're padded with iron.
 * Darknut: Well steel is stronger than iron! and for interfering I will have your head!
 * Link: Come and take it.
 * Link: You know you'd be surprised how big of music fans animals are. All of them can be tamed with the right tune.
 * Darknut: Grab him!
 * Girl: You're a hero!
 * Man: Thank you so much!
 * Boy: You saved my life!
 * Old Man: How can we ever repay you?
 * Rayva: Link, this is our chance! gold, diamonds, endless food! we can have anything we--
 * Link: A simple place to stay the night will be enough.
 * Rayva: What!?
 * Link: We're bards Rayva, we don't ask for much.
 * Rayva: Maybe you don't! I deserve something in return!
 * Old Man: Well in old traditions the hero would marry the person they saved.
 * Rayva: Uh... you know what? nevermind...
 * Link: So tell me, who exactly where those knights that were picking on you?
 * Girl: They weren't knights. They were Darknuts. Yes, they were knights long ago, but they lost that title along with any shred of dignity they had left. They've been coming here every week and taking our rupees.
 * Rayva: Why haven't you fought back?
 * Girl: We did. And in response, they burned down our temple...
 * Link: Well back then you didn't have me to help!
 * Darknut Leader: Disgraced... humiliated... he made us look like fools out there. And we weren't even defeated by a fellow warrior... but a bard. Defeated by a traveling poet.
 * Darknut #1: Our pride has taken a blow, hasn't it sir?
 * Darknut Leader: Yes it has. But I swear to you and Din that we will regain it.
 * Darknut #2: How?
 * Darknut Leader: I'll beat that bard into the ground in front of the entire village. I'll make him beg me for mercy and show him none. And when the villagers hope in him is totally destroyed then, and only then... will I give him the mercy he longs for. The mercy that is death.
