How to read this story

What you are about to read is not a typical linear book, nor is it a branching interactive story, but a storyboard for a game I was wanting to build. After several failed attempts to build the game, I decided to complete the storyboard and offer it to people to read. My contribution to the gaming community. From here the world is free roam, but the final area cannot be accessed until all main story memories are found.

If you're not familiar with Amnesia the Dark Decent, click the link here: http://www.amnesiagame.com

The developers at Frictional Games provided their game engine for people to make their own Amnesia Custom Stories, just as I have for you. However, my setup has some adjustments to the original game engine.

For those that have played several Zelda games prior to Skyward Sword, you'll have a deeper connection to the references I've placed in my story.

Game Mechanics

IntroBlack screen, heart begins beating as if reviving on it's own. You're laying on the

ground with blurry vision, but after fading in and out you rise. You're in a quarry by

some rocks, and you see a house at the northwest end of the pit. No sign of life around,

very foggy atmosphere, the house seems safe but abandoned, and the sun hides behind

thick clouds with no indication of finishing its dusk time frame. You hear a howl in the

distance and proceed into the house which lays unlocked. Upon entering you gather

your senses by lighting the fireplace. You think to yourself, “This places feels familiar.

This is my uncle's house.” A voice (can't tell if male or female) whispers, “Welcome

home, my friend.” You: “Who's there?” Voice:“She is in trouble, but you can still save

her,” You speak with confusion but concern, “Who is in trouble? Where is she?” Voice:

“I only know that your friend is in trouble, you must seek her out. Things have changed

for the worst. If you're ever in trouble I will bring you back here” The voice fades. You:

“I remember. My uncle's gear! It's in the closet. It's not here?! But where would... No

matter, Bob from the market will have some supplies, I will check with him. Town is

northwest from here. Again a memory; what is going on?”

Area: Seer's place (west 7) The home looks much like a fortune teller's stall you've seen in the market.

Memory: None

Objective:• None

Enemies:• Skull masks:

◦ Same aspects as a grunt◦ Only see one at random

• Shadow Wolves: Curse imbued wolves◦ They will outrun you, but you can sidestep to make them run into objects to stun them.◦ If you have powder to use, they will run away.◦ Only see up to two.

Misc Items:• None

Travel Options:• East to page 15• Inside to page 6

Area: Seer's place inside (west 7)On the table by a boarded window sits a set of balanced scales with a polished stone weight on

one side. Behind the boarded window in the dark, rocking in a chair is an old woman. Old woman: “Why hello young man. Have you come seeking answers? Simply think of your question and place a bag of coin on the scale, then touch the weight. The weight of the stone changes based on the value of your question.”

Memory: None

Objective:• Place coins on the tray then touch the weight.

◦ If the weight is too heavy: Seer: “Dear me, (taking the coins) you haven't put much effort in seeking an answer have you. Try a little harder before seeing me again.”

◦ If the weight is too light: Seer: “Oh my, (taking the coins) aren't you a wealthy one, but your answer remains hidden to me. Perhaps you should spend your time looking for clues rather than treasure hunting.

◦ If the weight is balanced: Seer: “Very well, (taking the coins) you seek a path through the woods north of here. When you come to an intersection of four paths, follow the directions of {North, West, South, North, and finally West}. Beyond the woods you will see the Skull mask tribe in the field. Use caution not to disturb them and make your way north to the cavern of the dead. The path to Sanctuary is on the other side of the cavern. As of late I have seen ghosts floating about, so keep your distance and you will be fine.

Enemies:• None

Misc Items:• After you receive your answer, leave and return. The old lady is gone and the door leading to

her is open. On the chair is a note. See note: Seer's Note.

Notes: • Seer's Note

◦ I have known three types of men and how they handle their money.

The Greedy: These worthless dogs hold on to their precious coins like they were their own children. As if letting go of such a thing would take away their very soul. They do not realize that the coin they hold so tightly bleeds from them ever so quickly. They will lose everything they have and have nothing to show for it.

The Ignorant: Such easy prey to con. Men who have no skills, no talents, no comprehension of value. They throw their money at anything, everything and anyone in hopes of solving even the smallest of problems. I do not know how they acquire such wealth, but I can assure you they won't have it for long.

The Wise: I would not dare stand in the way of such great men. Those that learn, study, barter, think before they act. These men cycle economics the most efficient and most effective way they can. Both tangent and non tangent items have a price, but knowing approximately how much is key. I will see to answer the questions that disrupt their

steady minds.

For you young man the path to Sanctuary should you forget: From here travel North into the forest. Each time you come to an intersection proceed as follows: North, West, South, North, and finally West. Should you get lost in the middle, simply begin again no matter where you are. Use caution, for the Skull Mask tribe have not been kind since the curse laid heavy on the land. I pray for your journey.

Travel Options:• Outside to page 5

Area: Skull Mask tribe (west 7, north 1)

Memory: You think: “At the far end of the forest dwells the Skull Mask tribe. A group of heathens that killed many living things and wore their skulls as masks as a sign of significance. Individually they are all lethal. As they dance around the roaring campfire, one would think they are in unison, but upon closer observation they are trying to show each other up. They never could fight as a unit like the soldiers at the castle. Which would explain their lack of development.”

Memory: You think: “The west side of the arena. The night stalkers. These men would plot a means of attacking at night under the cover of shadow.

Area: Forest of the Lost (west 6, north 1)

Memory: You think: “This is the part of the woods that is the most alive, cunning and cruel at times. I had often wondered if the trees here were protecting the skull mask tribe. However, despite the fact the village is just north of here, there is no path that leads to it. In the end, I am grateful for that.”

Objective: • Find your way through the woods that leads to the skull mask tribe

The sword is to be seen as a responsibility. A weapon to defend the weak until they in turn can become strong. For while the sword stands before the enemy, the strength of the sword is supported by those that stand behind it.”

Travel Options:• South to page 19• West to page 12

Area: Mountain Men Tribe Team East (west 6, north 6)

They see no need to come down from the mountain for living anywhere else is a sign of weakness. They protect their territory with pride and do not allow the weak to invade. The chief was impressed with my strength and dexterity to have reached him. From here the tribe watches it's members fight each other in a game called capture-the-flag. The ladder nearby reaches an even higher point to view the arena but is very narrow.”

not know where he had come from, but he had met an unfortunate end. I felt compelled to make a grave for him and I often returned to visit. Perhaps he is the reason I joined the baron to cut back the forest a little ways. To keep travelers from losing their way and losing their lives.” Sanity restored.

Area: Flooded Mine (west 5, north 3)

Memory: Voice: “Do you remember this place?” You: “The mineshaft has flooded again? Did any of them make it out in time?” Voice: “I do not know, but you volunteered to search for survivors once before. You should find a way in and find out.”

Objective: 1. Repair the pump2. Start the pump

◦ Pump is running but water remains. Check around and where the pipe goes.• Once the entrance is opened, enter the mine.




Misc Items:• When you return there is 30sec left before the entrance is revealed. Pump will begin to whistle

loudly drawing attention for 10 seconds and the pump will explode. Spawn rate for enemies in the forest has increased drastically.

Travel Options: • South to page 25• If the entrance is open, enter to page 27

Flooded MineMemory:

You think to yourself: “The mine was discovered by the baron's scouting party while investigating the woods. This unusual hole in the ground quickly expanded into an underground cavern. Some of the townsfolk began spreading rumors of valuable riches and thus they began excavating and building beneath the surface to further explore the depths without worrying about collapse. Due to all the traffic and the path laying just on the border of the woods, the path has become a permanent scar, and saving people from getting lost. After much digging, the people never found any gold or silver nor anything of material value, with exception of a new type of clay.”

Enemies:• Skeletons: lying on the floor they will reach out, grab and hold you. Jump to free yourself, or

remove their arms.• Zombies: take a normal grunt, make it slower, hit harder, always able to find you, and has poor

balance. Throw a large object at it to knock it over, temporarily.

Misc:• On a desk you'll find some papers. See notes: Miner's notes.• Halfway through the mine you will find a grunt sitting by the wall near the next room door with

shackles on and around him. Should you open the next door, a trap will kill you. Do anything else and he will sit there staring as if he can't get up. Find some salted meat and give it to him. He will reach behind him and flip a switch to remove the trap then after a couple minutes of eating animation, he will stand and look at you or the door you went through for a moment as if pondering, then leave the mine. If you'rewatching, you'll realize the grunt was not chained down at all. After the grunt has gotten up, a broken shackle will be available to take.

• Toward the end of the mine, you find a reserve of clay and chunks laying about the floor like coal. Take a piece. Your lantern will no longer need oil. When you pick up a chunk of clay: You: “I remember taking a piece for myself. This is why the king ordered the construction of that pump. The water would act as a barrier, and the whistle would warn of its opening. This piece, no bigger than my palm, will burn for a full year.”

• Some areas of the mine will prevent you from lighting your lantern and candles, due to lack of clean air. If you have the fairy's protection, you'll be fine, otherwise you'll take damage until death.

• Deep in the mine you will stumble on a locked room with a child inside. You: “A survivor? What are you doing here?” the child remains mute. You: “Are you alone?” the child shakes his head no. You: “Come with me, I will take you somewhere safe.” the child will follow you. If you try to leave the mine, you'll find the doors are locked and the child will make whining sounds as if something is wrong and point back deeper into the mine.

• One of the rooms has a skeleton sitting in the corner of the room. He's holding a few papers. See note: Under my nose

• One room appears to be a workshop, with some papers on the desk. See note: Clay bombs.

Notes: • Miner's notes

After the curse broke out, marauders gathered up some of the citizens and threw them into the mine along with myself. The mine would be opened up from time to time based on how much clay we offered in exchange. If enough was given, the mine would be

opened up daily. If only a little was given, the mine would go weeks without opening again. We've been fortunate enough to remain together down here, but the season draws near. During the next time of exchange, we will distract the marauders enough to let some escape. They will have a better chance of survival running on the surface, than hiding in a dark corner waiting to die.”

• Clay bombsThe clay we found was a great discovery. We used it to light the lanterns around the village and castle to burn for months at a time. Due to how dangerous it was, we had to take great precaution to not let the fire get out of hand. Recently, we managed to find other uses for the clay. This was by far the most dangerous and the king ordered such research be destroyed. I was not so pleased with this decision and merely locked it away down here. I am happy I did. I have harnessed the explosive power of the clay without the fear of spreading wildfires through the land. Just a little more time and we will have enough to drive those marauders back to the devil in pieces.

• Under my noseI could pick any lock I set out to break. I traveled to many places learning their secrets and taking a prize as a souvenir. Cartography can be a great ally to a thief, mapping out a home to plan a heist. I have my master to thank for teaching me such skills, but being caught and thrown down here with the rest of the townsfolk does me little good. I can't pick a lock that lays underwater. I hear the others planning an escape and I will have to take advantage of that. I can finally learn what my master had kept from me. He left me a map of a tower in the forbidden forest. He laid out the rooms and told me to find the lion's nose. Once I get out of here I will see to it to solve this riddle, even if it's the last thing I do.

Boss room:Note found on the ground in the center of the room: “The escape of some of the miners

infuriated the marauders to attack the miners, and since the miners had nothing to lose, fought back. An even battle mostly, but the surviving marauders flooded the mine entrance for the last time. It has remained closed since.” An image of the child with a demonic faced smile flashes before your eyes. A shadow emerges from the child leaving him unconscious. The door seals shut.

Objective:1. The creature wants to possess you, avoid being hit. Walls do not seem to affect it, it will float

and sway around you, then charge.2. Turn the crank to open the side door. Run down the hall to the next room.3. A crank inside will not work until the door is shut. Turn crank to open vents fully.4. Use lantern to light the pedestal in the room. Shadow creature will burn up with a horrific

scream from the light produced.

Memory of Courageous Act:Touch the child to wake him up and he will stand on his own, smile gently and say with a

ghostly voice while fading away “Thank you for saving me mister.”. You: “Ah yes, I was here, a long time ago. A family spoke of their son going missing. The boy thought he'd play hide and seek in the mine while it was open. Unfortunately the mine was scheduled to be closed for the season. During this time, miners were known for disappearing. I found evidence of the child and I proceeded to enter the mine. “This memory would have been before the curse occurred, so when

did the curse break out?” Sanity cap increased.

Misc items:• A letter can be found with belongings in the ventilated room you defeated the shadow in. See

love letter: My inspiration.

My InspirationHow have you been? I suppose you're doing just fine. After all, you've saved so many people in your travels. We never needed to leave the village, but that fateful day changed everything did it not? I may have forgotten who I was for a while, but I instinctively made an effort to care for those in need, much like you've done. The children all work hard to be as strong, brave, and helpful just like you. Even though you never had any children of your own, I know you'll be a great father one day, and a great husband. Will you ever come home? Father and his friends are having trouble herding the goats these days. I don't think anyone can fill your shoes. I will wait for your return, but until then I will look after the village children as if they were my own.

Area: Sanctuary (west 5, north 5)

Memory: Upon reaching Sanctuary, you stumble to the side and fall with blurry vision. You see a group of ghosts who are still performing the traditional ritual of passing. You: “I've seen these men before in my travels, but why did I follow them?” Voice: “This place is a dwelling for monks, sages, priests and other holy men. They are the ones who deal with the dead as well as provide spiritual healing. When someone in the region dies, the monks will come down in a small group of perhaps eleven or so. Four will surround the group by candle light to ward off on lookers, four will carry a body size plank, two at the front and back will swing burning essence candles to ward off the beasts, and one leader at the front who carries a book of passing. Only up to four guests associated with the dead they carry may travel with this caravan. The guests that follow are often in a trance.” You: “So I did follow them; Why, I wonder.”

Objective: • Enter the holy domain.



Misc Items:• None

SanctuaryMemory: None

Enemies:• Wizards: they teleport from room to room rather than give chase. You will see a small swirl of

purple smoke and star glimmer before they appear (10 seconds), very quiet. Stay out of sight to avoid them, lest they strike you with orbs of lightning. 2 seconds to charge, one second to hit, and 3 seconds to cool down.

• Suits of armor: They remain stationary, but the head will face your position while you're hiding. Should you be hiding in a closet you will be found instantly. The armor was from the previous war and now used as decoration to remind people of sacrifices made.

Boss room:A man lays dead on the ground in the middle of the room with an arrow through his eye socket.

This was once the high priest of Sanctuary. Touch the eye patch which lay next to his body. A flashback of the high priest ripping off his eye patch and blinding you with brilliant light. You hid behind columns to avoid being burned. You draw your bow and shoot the spot that is the brightest, his eye, and thus killing him. Returning from the flashback, You: “Why did I kill him? He's a man of the cloth.” You panic and see ghosts coming toward you. Run. Upon evading the ghosts, You: “No, there must have been a reason. I must go back.” You make your way back to that room.

Memory of Courageous Act:Enter the priest's inner sanctum. You find the priest's bedroom, still in it's original state. One

ghost still remains sitting in the corner by some papers and books. The ghost sees you and runs toward you. You can't move and watch the memories of the ghost. You are thrown into this room by a few robed figures, a couple of women are bound by the wall. The robed men take you over to join them. You drop your belongings (a couple books and papers) in a struggle, but become bound as well. The robed men leave, and the priest enters shortly after. He strokes the cheek of one of the other women. The door begins to bang, which infuriates the priest to investigate. Upon opening the door he fires a magic orb from his hand at someone, steps out and pulls the door to. You return to yourself and an empty room. You: “I see. I came here to make a rescue. Those ghosts were not after me, but fleeing from this wretched place.” Sanity cap increased.

Misc Items: • Over by the ghost's belongings is a love letter. See love letter: My brave hero. Health cap

increased.My Brave Hero

Each night I think of you. My way of thanking you for saving me from such a terrible prison of crystal. I was helplessly suspended there watching the evils of the night. Then you came with sword in hand to slay the beasts. I knew my role in your quest and followed through as did the other maidens, but they do not see you as I do. I am bound to her highness much like you are in a way. And though we both serve her, I desire in my heart to serve you. The other maidens tell me you seek her highness's attention. Is this true? I fear your answer, for we only just met and I wonder if you think of me at all. I know your duties will return you to the princess, and I will be ready with the courage to speak to you of how I feel. Until then, my hero.

Area: Fresh water spring (west 4, north 3)You see an empty hole that was once a spring of healing. Pipes from a hole in the wall lead to

the spring as if it was a drain from the other side.

Memory: With the discovery of the mine, the spring was used to cleanse the poisons of the mine. Soon after, the water was also used to block the entrance. None of my friends from the village has seen the mistress since.

Objective: 1. There is a hole in the bottom of the dry spring; plug the hole so that the spring fills up again.

Baron's Estate

Memory: You think to yourself: “I never spent much time inside the estate, so I should use caution as it still remains occupied.”

Enemies:• Ghosts faze through walls from room to room. Looking at them or coming into contact drains

sanity. Their movement is mostly straight and slightly wavy. Stand aside and let them pass as they are not concerned with your actions.

• Undead armed mercenaries. They protect the grounds, much like grunts and brutes.• Plant life has overgrown the building and can drain health without notice, but won't kill you.• Shadow Hand. When you're hiding in a closet in the dark, a portal opens up behind you sending

you to a random room.

Notes:• Mercenary's journal

◦ Highlights of the journal include◦ Hired to protect estate, carts, and the baron.◦ The baron has been traveling deep into the woods to see a seer.◦ Overtime, the baron's ambition was turning him into a dictator.◦ The battle between man and nature has been in our favor, but the baron has been losing his

mind. The Lost Woods isn't just a physical description, but in many forms of the word.

Boss room:Audio memory: Baron: “I know full well you've been hiding the location of the village from me and I demand you

tell me!” You: “I refuse. The village is well out of your way to cut the forest back and expand the

kingdom.” Baron: “People are meant to be governed. I can not rest easy knowing someone may sneak up on

us and stab me in the back!” You: “The village is harmless!” Baron: “My men are already under orders to find them. Once the forest and water tribe are under

my control the king will have no choice but to recognize me.” You: “You've lost your mind!” Baron: “I see you for what you are now. My men will deal with your friends, and I shall deal with

you.”You see a pile of bones in the room along with the plants that have eaten away at him.

Memory of Courageous Act: Touch the papers on the desk, evidence of the baron's selfish ambition that you took to the king. Sanity cap increased.

Misc:• Love Letter sits on the baron's desk among other papers. The handwriting is not of the baron.

See love letter: My young friend. Health cap increased.

My Childhood FriendHow have you been? Everyday seems like yesterday. I was not allowed to wander far from my village, but our guardian brought you to us one day and sent you away the next it seemed. I always loved how different you were from the rest of us, and yet we treated you as if you were always one of us. When you brought our guardian back to us, we were able to live peacefully again, but since you weren't there, I have since felt alone. Even among my friends. Should you come back, I will make a special wish. Although my wish will cost me dearly, I would like to spend my life by your side. Going to places never before seen. I love my village, and I love you, but I can't have them both, so I will enjoy my time with my friends, until you come back to me.

Travel Options:• East to page 62

I wonder how long it will be before I pass on. Perhaps my body will be taken to the Sanctuary's graveyard where I can be put to rest. The young ones these days don't know the hard times we had not so long ago. Back in the days of war. I tended to the wounded, helped in the fight, and this is where I ended up at. I guess I can't complain too much, I'm still alive and able to tell stories in the market for a coin or two. They must not forget the hero of that dreadful war. He may be buried up by Sanctuary like everyone else, but his sword remains sharp to this day.

Area: Scholar Island (west 2, north 3)

Memory: On the boat ride to the island you think to yourself: “The temple was well known for it's architects and engineers. The people here could devote much of their minds to study without fear of the wild and disruptive being alike. The main problem with being so isolated is the lack of resources to supply such a place. A trade agreement with the king allowed both the tribe and nation to maintain a healthy relationship of friendship.”

Seek out the evidence of your actions.”

Enemies:• Gargoyle: They hide among the other statues in rooms. Most are asleep, but make too much

noise and most will become aware. They move to places to block your path when you're not looking. When you or they are within range, they come to life, chase and kill. A small glimmer will spark in their eyes when they wake up. Whether you notice or not is your problem.

only hear it once for a few minutes.• A letter lies in a bedroom torn in 4 pieces. Collect each piece to form the letter. See love letter:

My one to be. Health cap increased

My One to beMy love, where forth thou gone? Did we not exchange vows that day? To be one someday? Was it not enough that I've been shunned by my kind for the love I declared thee to be? You have been so cruel to make me wait so long. I suppose it matters not anymore, for the sky is dark, the waters poisoned, and the land is full of death. I have taken refuge within my family's temple to seek aid, but even here I must wait. Can it be that this plague of death will call you back, or have you found another to make empty promises to? Return to me soon, for each day you are not here, I lose faith and the strength to go on. I pray to the gods that they will lead you back to me.

Boss room:A hydra statue lay in pieces around the room. A couple of the statue's heads begin to glow red

like a faint fire, then nothing. The doors seal shut. The hydra ghost heads are invulnerable and can only be destroyed by smashing their statue head remains. Once the ghost heads have vanished the seal on the doors are removed.

Enemies:• Grunts patrol the hallways• Mages teleport into rooms• Suits of armor watch you. Helmets reveal your location.• Slime does not pursue, but will damage.

Books, notes, and documentation all show research into an arrow. You: “The princess was well known for her archery skills in the tournaments. With what little I understand of these notes, tells me some of the dark king's interests in the princess and where she was being held.”

Boss room: A religious chamber both large and round. Flames no longer burn around the alter, and the room shows signs of a struggle. You see the body of a pig laying next to the ritual table with an arrow in it's chest. Voice speaks “The arrow is the symbol of your courage, take it and reclaim your lost memory.”

Memory of Courageous Act: The arrow you once defeated the evil king with. Take it. Tiny whisper “No! Don't do it!” Flashback and cut scene.

Cut scene:You stand before the dark king who stands before you radiating with power. You charge, but are

deflected. Dark King fires an orb, and you dodge. You charge again, but this time are blown back against some objects and loss grip on your sword. The sword flies into the next room and the door slams shut. Dark king boasts “What now hero? You have lost your sword! YOU CAN NOT DEFEAT ME!” You draw your bow with radiating light. Dark King “Still you stand defiant?! KNOW YOUR PLACE!” You both fire. A blinding light. you're blown back with rubble crashing down on you. Black screen with a glass bottle slowly falling then shattering.

You regain consciousness and see a man laying where the pig once was. you're blown away yet again. Maniacal Laughter is heard. “Well done boy. Did you think you had defeated me? I must admit that arrow was quite a nuisance.” The yellow sprite floating in front of you turns black light and flies into Dark King's chest. “It seems you thought my phantom was your friend. So easy to manipulate. She saved your life that wretched day, but I managed to capture her before she too could flee. Perhaps that would explain your amnesia. A partial revival. HERE! Here is your precious SPRITE!” He reveals a glass bottle hanging from a pillar, with a dim light inside.” The Dark King ponders or perhaps he is taking in the moment of his victory. “Now then I should thank you properly, by finishing you off.” The Dark King fazes in and out and summons a grunt.

Final Boss Battle:Objective:

1. Break the bottle cage and save Navi.Navi: “My friend you came back. Cough. Your things are still under the rubble. You have an arrow, you need your bow.” Dark King: “How touching, in the face of death you care for that which you abandoned long ago. You can die together at last.” Dark King begins firing orbs from random places in the room.

2. Clear the debris where your body once was and retrieve your bow.Dark King: “You honestly think you can still win!? That arrow of yours is for naught, it has long lost it's light.” Navi: “I will reignite the arrow. Place me at it's head. I will guide it to it's mark.” a pause “Don't worry about me, you've already granted my wish, that was to see you again. Now hurry!”.

3. Combine Sprite with arrow and bow.4. Shoot the Dark King when he becomes visible

Navi: “I love you my friend” phft Dark King: “HAAAAAAAA!” grunts disappear and heavily he breathes. Dark King: “It'll take more than that to stop me. Gasp. BOY!” summons three grunts.

5. Optional: Survive for 3 minutes.You hear a deep voice. “He has become vulnerable to light! Light the candles in the room!”

6. Light the candles with your lanternDark King becomes more visible with each candle and one less grunt. Camera pans to sealed door being bashed upon. The door breaks and your sword flies to your feet.

7. Take sword. Failure to take sword results in candles dying and barrier surrounds sword.Camera turns to Dark King, pans in a sword swing motion and you look down at a beheaded king. Room goes still and begins to collapse. Voice: “IN HERE, QUICKLY!”

8. Run to the next room!You dive through the door to avoid being buried.

Cut scene:Bursting into the room face first to the floor, your things have scattered. Voice: “You've done

well my boy. He will be of no more trouble. What is this you carry? Love letters? Is this the source of your strength? Well then, you're quite the ladies man aren't you. Eh hem. Now that you've defeated him, my strength has been restored. Come to me, I will return us to more familiar territory.”

(Optional) If you step back to the door the King will speak “Did you know that man feared death? He believed that he could sustain his life by taking it from others. If only he understood life itself; tis a selfless act, a sacrifice. When you put forth the effort to bring a gift to another you sacrifice yourself for the sake of another. Whether it be your time, your strength, your money, you lose a portion of yourself to bring life to something else. A puppet moves by the gesture of it's master's hand. A character in a story grows in a world as is told by it's author. We do not realize it is a sacrifice, for we often feel the joy of seeing life grow. God sees the continued spread of life and blesses it all the more. We all have a place. Mine, as was instructed by my creator until now, was to reward you upon your victory. Come.”

Your vision blurs greatly, then comes into focus, a new place. “I have brought us to my castle.

It will need some restoration, but for now I will lighten things up.” The candles of the great hall and fireplace burn greatly and the room is well seen. Though a bit dusty, you feel at ease. King:“You overcame great obstacles and defeated the Dark King, as did your friend. Indeed, she too paid the ultimate price. I believe she deserves a second chance as was given to you. Behold!” A yellow spark grows bright, then dims into shape. She dances before you in glee. King: “On to the matter at hand. I shall reward you for your bravery. I can return you to your loved one, but only one mind you. One can not divide his affection among many equally. Jealousy has destroyed many a family. Sometimes a simple object, a symbol of love, can help strengthen the bond between people.” You see your letters lined up on the table. Which will you choose? (All letters you found are present, choices are limited to those you have gifts for.)

*******************************************************************************The Choice

*******************************************************************************YOU MUST HAVE BOTH Letter and Gift to get your choice of ending. Gifts may not be

located in any obvious NES location, but when you find them it makes sense where they are. All endings provide a chance to change your mind. If you decline, the choice becomes discarded and you choose again.

Notes: • Looking back and forward

Six years since I moved into the barn and out of the house, it's been just me and the cat. She's quite the hunter; bringing in mice, voles, birds and even rabbits for that matter. I feel bad not being able to prepare the rabbits for fear of the fever they are known to have. Still, I guess they satisfy her appetite. She sits outside the door to greet me home each day after work. Life seems very bland these days, where every day is just like the last, but we keep each other company none the less. Perhaps all the work I'm doing will pay off, and find the joy in life that others have known.

My wandering friend.

My Wandering FriendWhat brought you to our ranch that day? I care not now why, but rather I'm happy you did. I had someone my age to play with for a day. We ran through the fields, we ransacked the barns, we even chased around father's prized chickens. I love my father's horses dearly, and I know that you do as well. Why else did she welcome you so quickly? My two cousins spoke of a traveler that visited them as well. Was that you by chance? I can't say I've ever met anyone like you. One who cares about other people and animals alike. Father says we have some families in need of good horses to travel to distant lands. I have no doubt they will take care of their new owners. They all know my favorite melody, so should they hear you play our song, they will know you. I hope one of them will help you in your travels, and perhaps one will lead you back to a place you can call home.

Each mushroom you bring to me, I will make you a powder to ward off the creatures of the night. As for myself, it'll make a fine delicacy.

Great Tree

Memory: Voice: “The roots of this magnificent tree have long decayed leaving behind a cave system as well as an atmosphere perfect for fungi. Some of the townsfolk tried to set up rooms to better harvest the rich resources, but some of the passages were left unattended leaving them defenseless, as they were eaten in their sleep.” You think to yourself: “People once claimed to see shadows of creatures, but nothing of solid form. Something unnatural lives here, of that I'm sure. What else could have left all those strange footprints.”

Enemies:• Bats fly around for a moment to drain sanity.• Slime buildup crawls to you very slowly to drain health.• Golem creatures will attack, but stay away from light. They can't open doors.

My FriendIt seems like only yesterday that we were bound together by troubling times. You would point me the way and I would investigate the matter. To the city, to the castle, to the tribes, even to all those ruins of ancient secrets. We've been through so much, and I will never leave your side. At least that was what I wanted. Once the nightmare had passed after those harsh years, I returned to the guardian's side in the forest. I yearn to be free again, but my responsibilities must be tended to. Will you come back some day to see me again? Or is this too great a wish for one so small.

Once you regained your senses you were off to view the island and find it's mysteries. You came by to see me on many occasions and I would sing just because you asked. You even showed me some of the island I had not seen before, and when I was in danger you were there. Just like a dream, you vanished from my life. I believe you were real.

Notes:• Forbidden Woods Witch Journal

Oh how I laugh at the fear the townsfolk have over the forbidden woods.They claim to see ghosts and spirits.They claim to see creatures of untold shape.Oh how they let their imaginations run their lives.

These bandits have been good to me for the trade I bring.Or perhaps they too fear the potions I brew.As long as I'm treated well, I will be of use.

Cooling Potions for the journey in the desert.Vitality Potions for the plagues of the wood.

I will provide for the right coin,but lest anyone try to steal from me,my potions lay unmarked and mixed with poisons,and the delay is just enough to keep me from burying too many bodies.

Speaking of brewing, I will need to restock from the fairy's well.The water is indeed sweet, and I have not been rejected for taking such a blessing for coin.Perhaps there is no fairy there to guard it as travelers have claimed.

Ancient RuinsMemory:

You: “I aided the archeologists with finding the Ancient Ruins. Voice: “And further still you removed the curse, which seems to have reemerged with the curse.” You: “What kind of curse?” Voice: “These people were determined to protect their home, even to the point of living forever. They did not anticipate losing their free will.” You: “What we do in life is meant for the next generation. I'm beginning to remember; and I will have to remind those that are still here.”

Enemies:• Living shadow: much like a sloppy version of carnage from spiderman, roams the halls seeking

out the living inside the ruins. It makes a slop sound as it moves. It does not need to open doors so much as it seeps around the edges. Smart enough to find the room you're hiding in, but not smart enough to search the room.

Misc Items:• One of the rooms was for pottery making. Take the jeweled ocarina.• Just inside the entrance, two rooms to the right, a team of archeologists had converted the room

into an on site workshop. Anything regarding the ruins would first be brought here before leaving, and anyone coming to explore the ruins came here first to check in. See note: Abandoning the ruins

• Within the ancient ruins is a hidden chamber that was used to preserve secret techniques of this era. Jars of clay hold powders of a variety of smells, but not enough powder remains to be used. The writings on the wall behind a workbench depict a recipe for what looks like explosions.

Notes:• Abandoning the ruins

This message shall remain behind as a warning for those unfortunate to come here by mistake. My team has been scouring these ruins for months now, not leaving any detail unchecked. You need not worry about your safety as long as you don't go beyond the sealed door. A few men were scheduled to analyze the inner tomb to see if they could identify who the great warrior was and what he was famous for. It was thanks to that young man for laying him to rest that we could go in and study his culture. I recall going outside for a bit of fresh air when I realized the night did not feel right. That is simply the best way I can describe it. I turned my attention inside when I heard the screams. Only one came back alive. He told me a horrible creature had attacked them. Before the creature could strike the survivor, one of the clay ocarinas rolled over an air vent and began whistling. The creature retreated back to the ruins. I suppose we were lucky, and I find it funny in a way. Legends speak of great powers being sealed away, and later being released so that a hero can defeat it. We ourselves have successfully locked away whatever awoke inside, but none of us possess the strength to deal with it. We have decided to abandon the ruins for now, so that in time, future generations will have a chance to come back and finish our work when the creature is gone.

Boss room: Showdown with the red shadow. “That shadow... did the curse bring the ancient warrior back to

life? Perhaps I can remind him he has already passed on.” When you use the ocarina to make high pitch sounds, the warrior will cover his ears for a moment, pause, then pull the cursed heart away

from his chest for you to strike with a rock. Do not idle, for he will return to normal and attack. The red shadow aura shatters off the warrior and he fades away.

Memory of Courageous Act: Voice: “You once laid to rest the ancient warrior. Stand before the tomb and play the melody

for old time's sake.” Sanity cap increased.

Misc Items: • Love letter is found behind the ancient warrior's funeral table along with foot prints and

evidence of bags laying here. See love letter: My treasure hunter. Health cap increased.

My Treasure HunterEver since you came to my village, I knew you were different. I was walking outside my home when you came up to greet me on such a wonderful day. I had lost the mirror given to me by my mother and her mother before. Without a moments hesitation you ran off without a word. I was shocked at such rudeness, but then you popped up again with my treasured mirror in hand without any desire of reward. I could not offer much, but you appeared to have traveled the countryside a great deal, so I led you to my grand papa for he knew much of the ways of survival. I thought that maybe, just maybe, should you use my grand papa's knowledge wherever you may go, you might think back and pay a visit. I talk an awful lot don't I? Perhaps you like that. I'm getting anxious to see you again, and this time I will be the one to listen to all the wonderful stories you have to tell.

I'll be high in the sky looking for you, then swoop down when you least expect it. Not only did you take my stuff, but you filled my master's order of ingredients when that was suppose to be MY job. I was scorned for being late all because of you. I think you like being mean to me. Or could it be... were you teasing me?! Well, now I'm really determined to get you back. Well maybe... I'm beginning to like the little game we've started. I'll win in the end for sure. You'll be the one running errands for me someday. I would like that. I hope we bump into each other again soon.

My Dearest MasterMy sister and I have traveled the world performing our dances to the masses. It was all thanks to you for directing us in our first rehearsal. We couldn't have done it without you. Do you remember our first time performing? We only had an audience of one or two as I recall. One was a soldier who admired us dearly. He spread the word of the entertainment we were bringing to his town. He has supported us everyday. My sister has even taken a fancy to him, but I... we await the day of seeing you once again.

Area: Southern Shoreline (east 6)

Memory: You: “We trailed a thief down to the southern shoreline and found an unusual drain big enough for a person to crawl through.

Hidden PalaceMemory:

Voice: “A lost piece of history grown over with vegetation, along with the thieves that dwell here. Much of the palace is not even known by the thieves, for that matter.” You: “I recall a bounty for the head of a thief who was often seen disappearing into this region of the forest. He had made quite the name for himself, thus my involvement. I tracked him down to this place, and if I'm correct, I found much more than I had imagined.”

Enemies:• Polvoce: Combine a rabbit, slinky, and metroid to get an idea of what this is. They randomly

somersault around a room as if playing. They stop on occasion to listen. They jump on anything that makes a sound that is not their own kind's making and proceed to eat it with their large mouth hidden under their body. Often found in a group of 3-4.

• Broken suits of armor lay about the palace. Some suits will come back to life at random.◦ An orange glow will fill the suit and reconstruct itself. These knights are fast, but are

Boss room:The body of a dragon lays dead and half decayed with Polvoces eating away at it slowly by a

large broken window. You think to yourself “I was either brave or insane at the time to explore this tower. When I came up here to investigate, this dragon awoke and attacked me. My curiosity nearly doomed us all, for if I hadn't struck down the dragon he would have escaped and destroyed the kingdom. What was he doing here or perhaps, what was he protecting?”

The inner chamber is decorated from floor to ceiling with star constellations. A platform extends toward the center of the room approaching a polished round broken slab, separated by an empty space. A pedestal with a book filled with notes and charts sits open and a letter sitting within it. See love letter: My pet. Heath cap increased.

My PetHave you missed me my faithful hunter? The one that played with me during eve's light. I knew you would be worth breaking free from those binds. We'd run through the fields, through forests, climb great heights and dive through the depths. A world engulfed in darkness, a playground in my eyes. And though you did not care for some of my habits, you cared

for me when I fell harmed. I aided in your quest to return the light to the world, but it is a world that I can not exist in. How I wished you would have joined me in my world. Our worlds drift but a moment apart, and yet the path that connected it has been shattered forever. Will I ever see you again? I have little hope of such, but then again that same hope is what we were when the light was restored. So I make my wish, to be by your side, not only by eve's light, but for all time.

You: “The book seems to be filled with scriptures, prophecies, and notes about unknown places. At the time, I made note of this discovery to share with the king, but it doesn't appear anyone but myself came here. One last room to check out before I leave, this incantation should open the door down below, and that should conclude my investigation.”

Memory of Courageous Act: When you stand in the room with the mechanical spider golem, use the incantation. The golem will power down and the door behind him will open. The room appears to be a personal room of a great wizard.

Cutscene:The spirit of a man appears before you.Wizard: “Well, well, well. You're alive. Still trying to piece together your memory?”You: “You know me?”Wizard: “I knew you before you met me, I know you now and the time you're spending to find

yourself, and I know where you are going for it was prophesied long ago. Let me help jog that memory of yours. You came here chasing a thief and stumbled upon my home. My dwelling lay well guarded and I felt no need to deal with the pests beyond my door. You however felt my presence and found me out. While you were busy chasing a decoy, the dark king had attacked the kingdom stealing away it's future, the princess. I shared with you my knowledge of such events and warned you that you would die should you proceed to rescue her highness. Despite that, you went. I watched your movements as if rereading the prophecies. You went to the tower and I watched you die, but it was not in vain. You managed to stop the evil king, but your confrontation set in motion a force that cursed the land. The king came to me for my aid and I gave him an ultimatum. His kingdom could only continue through his daughter the princess. To save her, I could exchange their places with my magic. He would remain trapped in the tower to die and she would protect the people. He agreed.”

You: “The king? If he is in the tower, then who, where is she?”Wizard: “You will only find that answer by seeking out the king in the tower. Go. You have

no more need to be here.” Sanity cap increased

Misc:• If you remain in the Wizard's room for a moment, a conversation will trigger

◦ You: “Who are you?” Wizard: “A simple man who studies the vastness and beauties of our world and the next. I chose to live in isolation to focus my attention on the greater things in life. These wonders are meant for men, not animals.”

◦ You: “Why am I unable to wield a weapon?” Wizard: “The curse knows you, and has laid it's hand upon you. Find yourself to break the curse.”

◦ You: “What was that dragon upstairs?” Wizard: “A servant of the dark king and a test of your courage. He dealt me a near fatal blow, before you came to my aid. I remain in limbo until the curse is lifted.”

◦ You: “If I may ask, what became of that thief?” Wizard: “I granted him a wish. He wished to be the world's greatest lock-picker. I turned him into a key.”

Notes:• Note: Retirement

(early in the diary)So much for giving up the trade. This place they set me up with has been kind of nice. I no longer run from the law, but my fellow gents continue to rely on my services to open locks that even children could pop open. The lot of them don't come close to what we were capable of back in the day. If they want to know what's inside they will have to give up a good portion for my patience.

(random page)Well, something interesting has been stirring. The air doesn't feel right either. I may not be behind bars for the things I've helped steal, but the forest has always sounded pleasant enough to me; not as of late though. I feel, unsafe.

(more recently)I haven't seen anyone around lately. Perhaps the soldiers have finally captured my friends. Will they find me as well I wonder?

(last entry)I've been seeing shadows in the woods that are... unnatural. If I'm to be free of this fear, I must venture out. I don't care if I'm imprisoned. At least I'll have peace of mind again.

While I was here, one of the monks asked me to gather some special medicines from a few of the witches. The rituals they performed also required the burning of essences that were difficult to get.

letter: My ever faithful. Health cap increased.

My Ever FaithfulAlways in my darkest hours I would look up to find you ready to face any challenge. Far greater bravery than any of my father's soldiers. However, it's not fair that you should shoulder the burden alone. When my home fell that day, I knew that our greatest challenge was upon us, and we would need to be ready. My caretaker hid me away from danger, and trained me in the ways of her clan. You and I saved my home, but it takes more than two to build a country. Do you resent me for being raised among the privileged? I may not have known how to raise crops and cattle like the farmers, I may not have known the labor of gathering lumber and stone, but I know our history and the mistakes of leaders gone by. We all have our roles in life, and working together allows us to become great. What I'm trying to ask is, will you remain by my side? Not only during my times of need, but I want you to be here during the good times as well. To be a symbol for the people. To hold me in your arms when I'm alone.

My Wingless CompanionDo you remember the first time we met? I was having trouble encouraging the head master's son to be brave. Of course I surprised myself when I asked you to help me ascend the mountain to face our dragon lord. The climb was easy enough for me, being light as a feather. I can't imagine the effort you put into climbing up with me. You even had the courage to face the creatures in that dreadful volcano. After all was set right, you left us for a while, then returned to inspire me to do great things. Even after that temple had served it's purpose, I've managed to set in motion to restore our lost history. It has been challenging these past few years, but when I get discouraged I think of you and your bravery. I shall hold onto this letter until I learn of where you have ventured off to, then deliver it personally so that I might be with you again.

Notes:• Rich man's note

Not so long ago I entertained guests of the Money Tree. These foreigners would come from all over for a chance to get away from their daily lives and perhaps gamble a bit to win back a great deal. Of course it's no secret that the house always wins in the end. A little tease here and there of winnings that were produced from their own pocket. And what do they do with it? They feed the Money Tree once again until they leave empty handed. More often than not, the money they lose I trade back to them in exchange for the goods they carry. In this way, they return home with currency that is only good in their own country and I stay here with products never dreamed of in this land. Considering what I had collected, I wanted more. I used some of the goods I had to build up supplies for a trip to other countries for a chance to find even more precious commodities. That's when the curse started. The sky darkened in color, my guests made haste to leave, and my servants began to disappear. In my own panic I brought out the gunpowder to roll down the mountain and blow up the pass that lead to my estate. I was so afraid of losing my things to commoners, that I ended up imprisoning myself.

I should have planted fruit trees around my home instead of pretty ones, I should have helped with the daily chores of my servants instead of simply giving orders, I should have... Sigh. It's too late now though.

You know it wasn't even a few days of trying to cook for myself when I began to look at my material possessions and how worthless they were. They ease the mind of a hard working man, but do nothing to put food on the table. After wasting a few items and a few burnt pieces of meat, I started to get the hang of cooking. I came to enjoy it, and had wished I could have worked as a chef. So much for that dream.

The paintings have lost their color, the jewelry collects dust, the gold sits quietly in a corner,

none of it matter anymore. I refused to die with my wealth though. I cast it over the side of the mountain and into the sea to be carried to the bottom of the ocean. God help me should it be used to curse another soul as it did me. My supplies dwindle quickly, my body shows it's age, I realize now how poor I was to not understand the value of a friend. I did keep one thing though. I would like you to have it.

The children that gave this to me were quite adorable. At the time it was beyond my realm that they had so very little and yet they were happy. This "moving art" they displayed was remarkable, so I had made arrangements for them to perform as entertainment for my guests. I shall miss them, for they traveled across the sea.

• Rich Man's thanksThank you for coming to visit me for a while, friend. I hope you like the tea.

Misc Items:• Fox Mask inside rich man's treasure chest.


SPOILERS!Turn Back!

******************Marilla******************King: "Then step through the portal, for they dance in a land across the sea."

You step through the portal:

camera pans a place of entertainment. (A stage in a town square) camera pans around dancers as they perform camera (from a distance) floats downward behind audience. As the camera comes down to audience level, an audience member with a Keaton mask can be

seen from behind camera pans dancers until they are finished. audience cheers camera begins showing the dancers cleaning up, when the Keaton mask member approaches

them.

Judo: "Yes? Would you like an autograph?" (puzzled as to what this person wants)

You give a letter to Judo for both of them to see.The two dancers are shocked for a moment and gaze upon you as if curious.You remove your mask and they both smile.

"There are those that do their best in this life not for themselves, but for the love of seeing true joy upon the faces of others."

Ending image: Dancers masked with hero, villain, and damsel, dancing around a bond fire entertaining audience members sitting close by.

******************Marin******************The king steps over to a wall and opens a portal that shows many landscapes across the lands.King: "I cannot sense where this person is.".The portal changes color to a blue sky with clouds.

Wind fish: "I can answer that question your highness. You seek one that camefrom a dream. The girl you know is not real. Dreams and the world of imaginationcan be places of untold beauty as well as devastation. These worlds can be createdto be anything based on reality or another's world of fantasy. However, my islandthat you once traveled to, does indeed exist. The girl you met with in the dreamstate, did not meet you for real. Do you still wish to go to her side?"

Wind fish: "Very well. Your highness, send him to me, I will take him to his desire."

You step through the portal.

Link is seen washed up on shore.Marin walks along the beach.Marin comes to you like she would any other drifter.Marin: "Are you alright? are you hurt? Wait, is that... is that an ocarina?!"You gather yourself and realize who she is and also she does not quite know you. But perhaps...You play Marin's melody “The Ballad of the Windfish”

Marin: "..." backs up in shockMarin: "You can't be.... I.. I know you. I've seen you in my dreams."Marin comes close to you

Wind fish: "This is my island, and when I dream, I think of this island. Thatday, when the nightmare attacked, it trapped not only myself, but some of thoseon and near the island. Had it not been for that boy sailing nearby, we wouldstill have been imprisoned by the nightmare. Now they can live out their dreams ina world without boundaries."

Ending image: Malon sings to audiences in the streets of cities with Link strumming a harp.

******************Midna******************King: "Very well. I shall accompany you to the mirror at the Hidden Palace**Fade out of room and fade into chamber

King: "It is true that the mirror was shattered, but that doesn't mean all is lost. Once a discovery is made or device created, people study it further to better understand and perhaps learn to control it. I have the power to send you through the mirror, but I cannot bring you back."

The king opens a hole in the ceiling to let in the moonlight and forms a portal where the mirror once stood. You step through the portal.

You stand in the world of twilight in a castle courtyard.Guards begin to approach and lead you to Midna, who sits casually upon the throne as if bored.

Midna: "And who might you be? You do not appear to be one of my people."You offer her a letter whom a guard carries to her.

Midna: "...!? How did you get this letter!? Wait. It's you!"Midna runs down from her throne and throws her arms around you and stands back again.Midna: "How did you get through the mirror? Are you well? How long has it been? What are

you doing here?"You hand her a shackle and present your right arm.Midna: "?... Heh, you have a funny way of proposing marriage, you know that?" she says with a

smirkViceroy: "But my lady, he is not of this world, and he does not come from a royal bloodline, nor

does he..."Midna: "You speak further of this matter and I will have you executed."Viceroy: "..."Midna: "It's bad enough you lot are dull and boring, and I will not be controlled by poorly made

rules, but I am willing to put up with SOME of your traditions simply because I care about my people. You should also be ashamed of yourselves, this man is a hero and I expect his recognition from all of you."

Midna looks back at you.Midna: "The viceroy does have a point though, you have a lot to learn about our ways, but for

now... For now, let us celebrate our reunion by going out.

Midna clamps the shackle to your arm, then transforms you into your wolf form and herself into the imp.

Midna: "There have been some rogue beasts to the north. Let us go hunting."

You charge out of the castle with Midna upon your back.

“Love does not bloom overnight, it grows and matures. The longer you tend to this flower, the more attached you might find yourself getting to it. You may end up losing that which you love and longing for it again. The real question you have to ask is; Would you give your life for that which you treasure?”

Ending image: Midna and Link sit in a window sill overlooking the twilight kingdom and the festivities that are about to begin.

******************Navi******************Navi: "ME?! You'll really have me? ...I don't know what to say."You raise your hand for her to stand on and bring her close.She begins to cry for joy thinking you didn't want her around.From your pocket you pull out a dress you found to replace her tattered one.

Navi: "I'll. I'll need to make some arrangements before anything else. Will you takeme back to the children?"

You approach the edge of the village, when...Navi: "Here is fine. I think it would be better if they didn't see you."You lean against a tree and Navi flies to the center of the village, then around the village along the

trees and finally back to the center where she takes on human size.The children begin to approach cautiously and curiously.

Navi: "Worry not my children for the curse has been lifted"Child: "Does that mean we can go back to the way we were before?"Navi: "I'm afraid not. For the curse has taken much of my strength and I will not be among you

much longer. Tali, come to me. Over the years you have watched over your brothers and sisters much like I once did. Therefore, I shall bless you with the responsibility I carried."

Tali's fairy floats into Tali's heart giving her wings and a form similar to Navi's.Tali is excited and Navi smiles.

Navi: "Milo, I trust you remember how to restore the Great Deku tree?"Milo: "Of course. I'll find a spot worthy of his roots and tend to him until he's twice as big as

before."Navi: "Then it's time that I must leave, farewell my children. I'm happy to see you are all still

well."

Navi floats into the sky.The children turn their attention to Tali.

**camera close up of you still by the tree looking out at the children.Navi in fairy form floats down by your side.Navi: "It's done."You nod and give one last look back to your old friends before walking away.Saria took notice and waves with a smile.

**Change in sceneryYou stand at the edge of a different forest and look over a field with a goblin camp in the distance.Navi stands on your forearm which is crossed with the other.

**The camera pans the field, then to the sky, and with a bit of rotation pans back to see Cortana standing on Master Chief's forearm which is crossed with the other.

Cortana: "Life never changes does it?"

Master Chief: "Do you regret it?"Cortana: "We did get separated for a while, but as long as we're together I will always be happy."

Cortana strokes Master Chief's 117 mark with rotated letters spelling LINK.

Master Chief: "Don't worry, I will always be there for you, no matter how far."Cortana: "As will I."

**camera begins to distort a double image of Link and Master Chief bearing their weapon, with Navi and Cortana retreating to their pockets, and both of them charging toward the camera.

"Love is everlasting, unchanging through any struggle that life may throw at you. No matter how lonely you may get, you can take comfort that those who love you will seek you out."

Ending image: Cortona looking into a holoscope with a wide range of historical heros and their partners beside them.

******************Ruto******************King: "Return to the temple in the lake and you will find her there"

You approach the door you once heard crying from and open it.Inside is an auditorium with stone statue gods on display with a skeleton sitting at the base.

**camera close up of Zora skeleton and backs up slightly to reveal legs stepping up to it.King's aura encircles the skeleton restoring life to Ruto.

Ruto displays a broken soul (anger, sadness, despair,...).Ruto: "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! I lost my life waiting for you to return. I prayed to the

gods, I performed the rituals, I did everything I was taught only to be abandoned and left to die."

Eventually she falls to her knees and weeps.

You kneel down take her hand and place the Zora sapphire in her palm.Ruto: "You found it? You went out of your way to find it?"You hand her, her letter.Ruto: "My gods may not have heard my voice, but I guess my words reached you after all."

She looks back at the statues.Ruto: "Perhaps these statues are just stone after all. There was one that came to us a long time

ago, who spoke of a different god than we have. I would like to find the truth for myself. Will you come with me?

You take her by the hand and walk out together.

"There are times when a soul must be broken down to it's core before a change can be made. And it falls to love to catch us, so that we might rise again to new heights that could not have been reached before."

Ending ImageRuto is instructing a music class with a variety of races of children for tonight's performance. You

are seen tuning a guitar. The camera position overlooking the room sits on a table or shelf in the room next to a Zora mask.

******************Saria******************King: "You will find her and your old friends hiding in their village. Navi will reveal them to

you."In the forest, you see eyes peering at you from behind trees and houses.

You begin playing Saria's song.As you play the children approach with their fairies.

Child: "Who are you mister? How do you know Saria's melody?"Saria: "I know you. Welcome back."You take a knee and hand her, her letter.

Saria: "...If you've returned then the curse has been lifted and we can tend to the forest again."Milo: "I believe you mean WE. It's time your wish came true Saria. We know how much you've

missed him and he's offering you the chance, so take it."

After a bit of thought or perhaps overwhelming emotion that can't be expressed...Saria: "I will miss you all."Saria's fairy hovers above her hands held out.

Saria: "I wish to be human, so that I might be with the one I love."She leans her head toward her fairy and a bright light comes from them both, then fades revealing

an adult human Saria.

Milo: "We Kokiri were born from the Great Deku Tree and our fairy counterparts were born from Navi. We are two parts, of the same soul. As long as we have our fairy partner, we will remain as we are, but they are also our gift of a single wish."

Saria: "I'm ready to go and see the world as you have."

You look around at the children.Navi: "Don't worry about them. You've saved them from the curse, and now I can watch over

them again until the Great Deku Tree re-sprouts."

You take Saria by the hand and leave the village.

"There are times when we are afraid of changing who we are for fear of the unknown, like a prison of comfort that cages without bars. We make the most of where we are in life, until that moment of opportunity comes and love reaches out to us, to show us a bigger world than we'd ever imagine. All it takes is a little courage, and a helping hand."

Ending ImageYou sit by Saria on a log next to a campfire looking at the fireworks over a city in the distance.

Five children dance around holding sticks with glass bottles hanging from strings at the tip with fireflies inside.

******************Zelda******************King: "My daughter you say? And what makes you believe she even knows you, let alone return

your love?"

You hand zelda's letter to the king.

King: "... I see. Perhaps I should have kept a closer eye on her, or rather spent more time with her. Your loyalty to the kingdom knows no bounds, and your care of the people has been greater still. Therefore, you may have my blessing to marry my daughter, should she accept you."

King gives a letter to you and a ring.King: "You will find my daughter to the west, in a country outside the limits of this once cursed

land. Present this letter and ring to her as proof of your deeds to me and my final request to both of you for rebuilding this land to it's former glory."

You step through the portal and appear before an unfamiliar castle.You approach the gate and present a letter with the king's seal upon.Guard: “My men will lead you to the guest room, while I inform her highness of your arrival.

The servant's will help you clean up from your travels.”

Zelda is seen in a study.Guard: "Princess Zelda? A messenger seeks an audience. I sent him to the guest room upon his

arrival to clean up. He carries a letter with your family's seal.”Zelda: "Oh? Very well. Bring him to me once he is ready."

The guard returns.After a quick bath and change of clothes, you are lead to the princess.

You walk forth, take a knee and offer the letter.Zelda reads it.Zelda: "What is the meaning of this? Do you insult me? How can I believe this letter?"You offer the king's ring and she takes it.After looking it over.

Zelda: "This is indeed my father's ring. My father was still wearing this when he was sealed away. If you have it, then that means you've been to the cursed tower and broken the seal. This ring is proof you speak the truth, please forgive me for my rudeness, I did not recognize you. As princess, you have my deepest gratitude for your service, and I would like to thank you. Perhaps now we can begin to learn more about each other during this time of peace, while we begin to rebuild my... our kingdom. I believe it will be dinner soon, will you join me?”

She offers you her hand.

“We live by fear or by faith. Despite only being a small part of a bigger picture in life, we place our trust in others and lean on them for support. We often drift into fear, believing that we are alone in this world, but fear not, for a greater power watches over all of us, and from his

perspective, we are never out of reach and right where we need to be.”

Ending ImageClose up of you and Zelda dancing in the main hall where you spoke to the king. The castle has

been restored.

******************Medli******************King: “Then you need not look much further, for she has found you.”A wind blows a curtain aside and reveals an observer.Medli: “!...”

King: “Please come forward, you have nothing to fear here.”Medli: “You um.. you have my letter? ... I've been coming back to the shrine every now and then

to see what has become of this land. When I first saw you I thought you might be one of those creatures, so I took flight. But something was telling me I should stay. Strange. I had more courage stalking a stranger than I do right now.”

King: “My dear, you have been flying all night haven't you?”Medli: “Your kingdom is but a day's flight with this seasons wind streams. And I've been curious

about who or what I saw all night. Yes, I'm quite tired.”King: “Since the two of you have some catching up to do, I will prepare rooms for you both and

tomorrow you can sail back to your home.”Medli: “Sail? Oh! Yes! Quite so. I can only carry so much weight so far... Wait no, I'm not

saying you're heavy I just... that is if you want to come back with me?”

You hand her a fan of feathers.

Medli: “Oh! These are Athearik feathers. Very rare and hard to get even by air. These are for me?... They're lovely.”

King: “If I recall it takes about a week to travel by boat. Let us prepare dinner together, and I'll get a vessel ready while you rest tonight.”

“Courage is something we look for not only on the battlefield in the face of our enemy, but often when we fear losing something dear to us. The first step is always the hardest. We may trip and stumble, we may get hurt along the way, but each step becomes easier when you're sharing experiences with those you cherish dearly.”

Ending image: Link is sailing a vessel that bears a lion head at the front of the ship and Medli is checking the cargo with a few others from her tribe.

******************Malon******************King: “She has fled to the west along with the other citizens before the curse laid waste to this

land. I have one last request for you. Take this letter and ring to my daughter, so that she might make arrangements for the people to return and restore this land. When you step through the portal, call out with your melody, and she will lead you to your love.”

You step through the portal and find yourself in an open field where the wind blows strong, but calmly. You play your ocarina, Epona's song. From the stables of a castle in the distance, comes galloping a great steed. This horse is not Epona, but she recognizes you as a friend. You mount the steed and you travel to the castle.

**camera fades and fades back in to a horse ranch where link is seen riding a different horse as well as wearing slightly different clothing.

You ride up to Malon who is tending to other horses and present a letter.Malon: “A message? From our highness Princess Zelda?” she reads the letter.Talon: “What news does he bring Malon?”Malon: “The Princess has requested a great deal of horses for our trip back home.”Talon: “Back home? Does she mean to push back the curse that drove us from there?”Malon: “No. The curse has been lifted. The land may be in ruins, but it is our home.”Talon: “We've already made a nice home here. Are you sure you want to go back?”Malon: “The horses have been homesick since the day we left. The people will have a much

easier time traveling with steeds that know the land.”Talon: “I suppose. I'm sorry young man, was there something else?”

Link hands Malon a letter and a golden horseshoe.

Talon: “I thought I recognized you. You're the boy that came to our ranch a long time ago. You must have gone through a lot of trouble to get that horseshoe back for us. How on earth could we repay you?”

Malon: “Father, do we have room for another helper?”Talon: “With such a large order from the Princess, I suppose we could use a few.... I see. You

already know how to ride, but there's a great deal more to horses than just jumping on their back. Come with me, I'll show you the ropes. Malon. Go ahead and prepare a room out in the barn until we can make proper room in the house.”

Malon: “Yes father.”

“Life is not fair, we must work to survive. It is often said that -If you do what you love, you will never work a day in your life- and if you work with those that share your passion, you may find a new life to love.”

Ending image: Link and Malon are tending to the horses in the barn. Link with a pitchfork moving hay and Malon with a bottle feeding a colt.

******************Ilia******************King: “Ilia you ask? Yes, I can lead you to her. Do you remember where you found her letter?

Back in the mines wasn't it? You've been gone a long time and much has changed. The village you spent your young adult life at had come under attack and many of the villagers were taken into the mines. Your friends remembered your courage and fought back bravely. Ilia was among the few that managed to escape. Your younger friends, the Kokiri children, lead them safely to the edge of the forest. From there, they headed south. I believe your steed will hear you, should you call out.”

You make your way to the edge of the forest.Audio of the king: “From the forest head south. It will take a few days to get there, unless an old

friend can hear you call. Farewell.”You take your reed whistle and play. A horse can be seen without a saddle coming upon you

across the fields.

Like old friends you greet one another quietly.Epona takes you to a village to the south as the king told you.

You enter the village to find Jaggle coming up to greet you.

Jaggle: “Well I'll be. Where have you been boy? I see you found Epona. I wondered where she ran off to with all that had happened to us. I seen you coming from the north, so I would assume you've seen it. Our home in ruins. Some of us made it out alive, but not everyone.”

Talo: “LINK! You're back! How did you know where to find us? Ilia's going to be shocked to see you.”

Jaggle: “Indeed she will be. I'll take you to her. Talo. Go tell your mother to make room for one more.”

Jaggle leads you to a barn with goats inside. As you walk toward it, you see a grave marker with names on it: Bo, Fado, Colin, Hanch, Sera.

Jaggle: “Rusl and Uli followed the resistance to the west. Colin decided to stay with the village, and he sacrificed himself so that we could get away. You would have been proud of him. He took them on like a skilled knight. The last time I saw Malo, he followed a caravan of traders. That boy is something else. We don't know what became of Beth. She was with us during the raid, but she didn't come down into the mines. We can only pray for her well being.”

Stepping into the barn.Jaggle: “Ilia! You here?”Ilia: “I'm back here.”Link walks onward to where Ilia is. Ilia steps out.Ilia: “What is it Jaggle? Is something...” a pause. “Link? Is it really you?”Ilia sees the reed necklace around your neck.Ilia embraces you.Ilia: “Welcome home.”

“We are often called upon, when the need arises. The shepherd leaves his flock to kill the wolf. The soldier leaves his home to defend his country. The burden can be heavy to bear at times, even when we lose a great deal in life. Be it over days or perhaps years, the peace at the end of a journey is often found in the comfort of those we are at rest with.”

Ending image: A familiar scene of being on the ranch overlooking the plains and the whole family tending to the farm animals and chores.

******************Sage******************King gives a letter to you and a ring.King: "Seek out my daughter to the west, in a country outside the limits of this once cursed land.

Present this letter and ring to her as proof of your deeds to me. She will know where to find your love."

You step through the portal and appear before an unfamiliar castle.

You approach the gate and present a letter with the king's seal upon.Guard: “My men will lead you to the guest room, while I inform her highness of your arrival.

The servant's will help you clean up from your travels.”

Zelda's voice can be heard while the camera stays on you being tended to.Zelda: “You have presented to me my father's ring and his last will. I will honor his wishes and

return to restore our lost home. For you I present the title Hero of Hyrule.”

**camera fades into a chamber where you are kneeling before Zelda before a small audience.

Zelda: “How can I reward you for such a great service to our country?”

You present a letter to Zelda.Zelda: “A letter? Interesting, I recognize this handwriting. Come with me.”Zelda leads, and you follow.

You come to a door. Zelda knocks and enters.Zelda: “Roselyn? Are you in?”The room is a personal library with enough space for a few people to gather together comfortably.

Zelda walks over to a podium with papers on it.Zelda: “I believe I'm correct. Roselyn?”Roselyn: “zzz”Zelda: (giggle) “Roselyn? Wake up. You have a visitor.”Roselyn: “mmm. Hmm? Oh highness! I've been researching the rituals of the Katisnic tribe and

the effects on their.... Wait, a visitor?

You step forward and hand her the locked book.Roselyn: “My book?! It's you, isn't it? You were the one that saved me as well as all those other

people throughout the lands.”Zelda: (puzzled)

Roselyn: “I did not mention this before my lady, but after thorough research I pieced together moments in our history as well as fables of neighboring lands. All my notes are in this book.”

Roselyn pulls a key from her necklace and unlocks the bindings on the book.Roselyn: “The Wandering Soul. The one that stands before us has traveled much further than

anyone could ever imagine. From land, sea, sky, time and space. His body might change, his memories fuzzy, but the same hero is found in all the texts I've read. If you're here, then does that mean we are in danger as well?”

Zelda: “I believe he came here to see you.”

Zelda hands her a letterRoselyn: (blushes) “Oh this. I umm...”Zelda: “I think I would like to hear all about these adventures. Would you care to share with us

from your book at our next tea and reading session?”Roselyn: “... Oh, yes, of course my lady. Let me take a moment to clean the place up a bit.”Zelda: “Splendid. Come. Let me introduce you to the soldiers, Captain.”Link and Zelda leave.

Roselyn quietly walks over to a display of items {boomerangs, lens of truth, arrows, compasses, etc}.

Tingle: “He certainly gets around doesn't he. Almost as fast as me.”

From a window sill, sits a green little man.

Roselyn: “Hello Tingle. What brings you in?”Tingle: “I am returning your power bracelet that was still laying in that tower as well as other

interesting items he had at the time.”Roselyn: “Thank you Tingle. Since he's here, I may not need your services quite as much.”Tingle: “Where's the fun in GIVING him items. Makes it more rewarding to find them; stronger

too.”Roselyn: “You may be right. Do you have any new maps and news for me?”Tingle: “My journal as always my dear. Your trip home may not be easy. I'll be off then.”

“You never know who might be watching over you. Our paths in life may drift to and fro, but it only takes one special moment to make a connection. By working together, we live in harmony.”

Ending image: Out in a courtyard, Zelda and her lady sages sit around a table as audience members of Roselyn reading from her book and Link sparring with soldiers close by.

******************Archeologist******************King: "Then step through the portal. She lives in the town you first met."

You step through the portal

**Claire can be heard speaking while camera drifts through town.Claire: “This vase was found in the residential hall of the temple and used for water storage.”

**Claire can be heard speaking while camera drifts over a house.Claire: “A fine choice sir. That shield was listed as being used by the overseer himself.”

**Claire can be heard speaking while camera drifts through a museum.Claire: “Splendid. The tablet will make a fine addition to our display.”

**Camera drifts through room and focuses on Claire at a desk finishing business with a merchant.The merchant leaves and her grandfather passes through with a load of antiques.

Claire: “Hello grandpapa. Is it already closing time?”Grandfather: “Hello Claire. Yes it is. How well did we do today.”Claire: “Not very well. If we don't find something significant to display we're going to run out of

relics to keep us afloat. We've already lost some good items.”Camera remains on Claire who is handling financial documents while her grandfather is in the next

room.Grandfather: “Things will turn up my dear. Had it not been for that young man sealing that

cursed knight away, we wouldn't have had such a good haul.”Claire: “It's just about emptied out. At this rate we should look for another site. Since you were

so eager to get the good stuff out first. Are you listening? (sigh)” She pauses as she remembers something, then returns to her papers.

“There are times in our lives when we lose the things that are precious to us. Sometimes we misplace them, sometimes we give them up.”

The sound of the door opens, but Claire does not look up.Claire: “I'm sorry, but we're closing for the night. Come back in the morning.”

“Things we lose in life, often play a role in another person's life and hold a story of their own.”

A figure walks up to the table and gently lays a mirror on the desk.Claire: “Did you not hear me? I said...”She notices the mirror and brings her hand over it, pauses, then looks up.

“Sacrifices we make can be seen as an investment for greater things in life.”

Claire: “Grandpapa. I think we're going to have a guest for this evening.”

“And every great once in a while, our investments will return to us with a little interest”

Ending image: Link is seen fighting stone guards, Claire studies the wall of insciptions, and Grandpapa is bagging up the treasures.

******************Maple********************Camera pans through a forest, fading between sections of trees.**Camera comes upon a young witch picking through mushrooms.Maple: “This one looks plenty ripe.”

Maple packs up her things and rides her broomstick through the woods towards an old cottage in the distance.

**Camera close up of the cottage, then fades inside waiting for Maple to come in.

Maple comes in casually.Maple: “Auntie Syrup! I'm back! I found some pretty ripe herbs over by Birch area.”Syrup: “Oh that's nice deary. We'll have to store those away for the next batch of medicines.

You're a little late. There was a young man who came in earlier and filled my order out already.”

Maple: “! But I.”Syrup: “What a nice fellow. He asked if there was anything else he could get, so I made another

list of things and he was off.”Maple: “Another list? But I thought...”Syrup: “He said he was looking for someone, but for now was willing to help out. He might make

for a good apprentice.”Maple: “!!!”

Maple infuriated, flew out the door, jumped to her broom, and high she took above the forest in search of this unwelcome guest.

Maple: “OH! Once I find him I'll whisk him off to the cliffs and drop him into the murky swamp where few leave alive. No one takes my place! AHA!”

Maple spots a figure and dives in.Link turns, sidesteps and grabs Maple right off her broomstick.

Maple: “WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING! LET GO OF ME! I'LL TEACH YOU NOT TO MESS WITH...”

Link points where her broomstick landed. It landed into a thicket of thorns that quickly reached around the broom as if squeezing the life out of an animal.

Maple: “Oh. Auntie said the Vampiric Thorn Thistle had been spreading recently. If you hadn't caught me I would have been drained and dead within the hour....” back to her heated senses “If you hadn't filled out my Auntie's order I wouldn't have been so careless! Who do you think you are anyway? I'm the apprentice around here, not you. Why are you...”

Link reaches into his bag sitting nearby, and gives her a petrified Lon Lon Egg.

Maple: “? What is it? This looks like a Lon Lon Egg, but it's stone.”

While Maple is distracted, Link takes out a blade and cuts back the thistle to fish out the

broomstick.

Maple: “Is this for me? The other girls are going to be so jealous when they see this.... Wait a minute.”

Link gives the broom back to Maple, slings both his pack and her's around his back and passes a list of ingredients to Maple.

Maple: “I... I guess we could work together. Let's see... The Purple Bloated Toad is the closest one on the list right now. We'll have to go through the woods and past two fields to get to him. So... Shall we be going then?”

“You never know who your going to cross paths with on this journey through life. Sometimes for a moment, sometimes for a while, other times for good, and other times for bad. No matter what action we take, we often leave an impression on others that might change the course of their life forever.”

Ending image: Link and Maple are nose close to colorful plants and small animals with wonder in their eyes.

******************No one******************Link smiles graciously, bows and takes his leave.

King: “Nothing at all? Your joy in life, is to bring hope to others? Then I shall honor your request, that you remain hidden in the stories of legend. The unknown hero, who came to the darkest corners of the earth, bringing us the light. The world will hear of your great deeds, and your example will be seen in generations to come. May you be blessed on your

journeys, my friend”

“We did not create the world, but rather we were born into the world as caretakers. There is much

in this world that is created from nothing, and to nothing shall be returned. By honoring the creator of things, you need not fear losing what you have, for it can be given to you again.”

Ending image: Children dressed as the great hero using sticks to sword fight in glee and laughter.

Developer Notes

The story is a full conversion Amnesia custom story based on the game of Legend of Zelda for the old NES. The entire map is a semi direct copy of the old NES game. Each section has it's own loading screen, which coincides with the old game style where you walk beyond the screen and enter a new area. This is my tribute to a great series created by Nintendo, as well as thanks to Frictional Games for providing an interesting game engine to play with.

I did email Nintendo and asked about the copyright issue of creating this game, and the letter I received back did not directly say no, but left it open to a possibility. I only asked a general question about the elements I would require to build my story; I did not give them details since that would automatically give them rights to it. I also emailed Bungie through Microsoft about having a special guest in one of my ending cut scenes. I have not yet heard back.

FAQs:Q: When did Navi write her letter?A: Navi's letter was written while you were away (After Ocarina of Time). So long, in fact, she

wrote the letter out of sadness and left it behind. When you came back, she was so happy that she had forgotten about the letter or chose not to reveal it.

Q: Why is the triforce not a part of the story?A: When I started this project I began the alchemical process of blending one part Legend of

Zelda, one part Amnesia the Dark Decent and one part reality. Like many nations there is a religious body people turn to. That is how I see the triforce. Link himself was never obsessed with the triforce, but it was presented to him as a means of defeating a greater threat. My story does have it metaphorically, but it's not the center piece.

Q: Follow-up: You said “one part reality”. You are aware that people don't share your beliefs as you've stated them with the king at the end?

A: I'm aware. If you truly want to know my beliefs, I am a christian. I try to live under God's rules the best I can, despite falling on my face constantly, and I am grateful for Jesus being there to pick me back up again. Would you prefer that I write a story that encourages bad behavior, like lying, cheating, stealing, messing around perhaps? I believe our reality was designed and we have a role to play in it; what I don't know is how well I'm doing. The king in my story has no choice but to say what I've told him to say; you and I get to choose to obey or not.

Q: Link is well known for not speaking, why did you give him a voice?A: I did my best to not have him speak, as you might have noticed in some scenes, but some of

the moments required speech to allow the reader to understand what was going on. Once I realized the inevitable it opened a door for much easier story writing, but I still had the mindset of limited speech.

Q: You brought in several elements of the original game as well as the puzzles, would you tell us your opinion of some of them?

A: I was pretty exciting about the “tip of the nose” riddle. While I was studying the architecture of the dungeons and turning them into buildings I realized the wizard's palace, dungeon 7, was in the shape of the “A” key. The map and dungeon both look like lion heads, and the “secret” was the note about the “tenth enemy has the bomb”, which was programmed into the game.
