The king skidded to a halt on his bony feet, not expecting a frontal charge, but Link rolled between his long, thin legs, leaped up, bounced off the wall, and kicked the king into the light. When he ducked or dodged, he would be dead. Link could read his actions: it was a trick to flush him out. He retreated to the centre of the beam of light and crouched, panting, watching the king warily. Half an hour later, Link was almost too tired to fight any longer. The guards, still chattering, distracted him more than he would like to admit, but he managed to avoid becoming chopped in half. Link thanked his shield many times during that fight, and his reflexes as well. The King of Ikana fought with a massive curved katana, and he was much cannier than his hapless bodyguards. Already rather tired from his long trek through the castle and his fight with the two guards, the king was a much greater challenge. The soldiers, although they fought together, were not coordinated, and he took them out quickly. The light hurt the two soldiers when they accidentally blundered into it, and he decided that instead of being like pure Stalfos, they were more like redead. The controls were out of sight, so he simply burned them with his fire arrows.

The windows were covered in heavy drapes, so Link was at a bit of a disadvantage in the dark at first, until he had the brilliant idea of opening the curtains. Link wondered where he’d met them before… and then realized that they were just like the Twinrova sisters he had fought in the desert. They both behaved in the most ridiculous way, yelling at each other, whining, and squabbling. One was short and big-boned, the other was tall and lightly built. Two of them, bickering guards, challenged him, transforming into full-blown Stalfos. He came to the throne room and met three floating skulls. When he found none, except for some gracefully dancing redead, he began to cleanse it of monsters. He finally found the way into Ikana Castle, the main gate of which had been sealed, and hunted around for signs of life. His collected reward was a mirror-like shield, round with a face on it, that was the right size for his current height. Some larger gibdos sent him on shopping missions, all of which he completed in about a day. “…Was safe and welcoming to us.” “Well, nyah, nyah.” Link, armed with the gibdo mask the man had left behind from his transformation, ventured around Ikana, regarded as a mini-gibdo by his enemies. The Kokiri Forest…” “Was really horrible also and you know it!” Tatl told him. “Monsters inside, monsters outside… what a terrible place for a child. Tatl hid from the man in order to avoid being ‘studied’. Pamela came back from an errand she had to do, and was relieved to see her father again – apparently, she had only known that her father was hiding, but not that he was turning into a monster. Her father had hidden himself in a closet, and was turning into a Gibdo, ostensibly in the name of research, but he attacked Link, who managed to duck the inexperienced monster and play the Song of Healing. He rescued a small girl’s father, the girl named Pamela. The assassins were especially annoying, because they would pop out of nowhere with a ring of fire and then he would have to fight them, and they weren’t particularly difficult to defeat, either. He discovered an ancient civilization had been there before him, and had covered the desert land in gibdos, redead, and ninja assassins. Link awoke on the third day and journeyed to Ikana Canyon.
