 * Zelda: Will you cut that out?!
 * Link: Eh, you'll be fine.
 * Zelda: Do you have any idea how horrible it is being stuck in this thing?
 * Link: Yup.
 * Zelda: No you don't!
 * Link: Sure do.
 * Zelda: Really?
 * Link: Catching Fairies in a bottle is a pretty dangerous job.
 * Zelda: Fairies aren't real...
 * Link: Of course they are, we have historical records of them.
 * Zelda: Very funny...
 * Zelda: I said cut that out!
 * Zelda: YOU... IDIOT!!!
 * Link: Don't worry, I have everything under control!
 * Zelda: Just stop it before you make things even worse for us!
 * Link: Try wiggling to your left, maybe we can roll this thing!
 * Zelda: I can barely even move my mouth you dummy!
 * Liyer: Well this is a really strange find. (picks up the Malmord)
 * Link: Hey now there, what are you doing with us?
 * Liyer: Simple solutions to simple problems.
 * Link: Thank you for getting us out of there, my name is Link.
 * Liyer: I'm Liyer.
 * Link: Are you from around here?
 * Liyer: I just wander between these woods and Vigjaro from time to time.
 * Link: A shame I've never seen you around here until now!
 * Link: I know of a pretty classy bar back in Vigjaro, if you are interested.
 * Liyer: I think I might just take you up on that offer.
 * Link: Holy father of Nayru!
 * Liyer: Is something wrong?
 * Link: Of course something's wrong, she's on fire!
 * Liyer: I don't see any fire...
 * Felonius: Strange, they are stationing themselves to attack...
 * Halthor: What?
 * Felonius: On the ridges there. Wizzrobes are preparing an attack.
 * Halthor: Handy having an ex-mage around.
 * Felonius: Should we warn the Hylians?
 * Halthor: No, we'll use this as a chance to escape.
 * Link: Are you OK?
 * Link: It doesn't look like you have any burns from the fire...
 * Zelda: You saw the flames?!
 * Kazakk (appears with an escort): Zelda? (embraces Zelda)
 * Kazakk: Bless you Link, bless you for all you've done.
 * Link: Well it wasn't me that freed her, it was... (notices Liyer has disappeared)
 * Link: I'm glad I could be a part of it.
 * Link: Brother Carock, I wasn't expecting Her Grace to send you here.
 * Carock (turns back to Link): I was told the Princess was in captivity.
 * Link: She was, but we managed to change that.
 * Carock: Captive or not, I am under orders to take her back to Vigjaro. (materialises in front of Zelda and catches her)
 * Link (runs toward Carock with Kazakk and his escort): Carock, what in the name of Nayru are you doing?
 * Zelda: He has an army here, he's going to burn all of the soldiers!
 * Link: Carock... what's going on?
 * Link: Carock, what is this about an army and burning Hylian soldiers?
 * Felonius: Get ready to run.
 * Kazakk: Where do you think you're going, Keaton?
 * Halthor: Shouldn't you be worrying about all your soldiers getting burned?
 * Kazakk: I'll deal with them after I deal with you.
 * Felonius: Perhaps if you let us go, we'll lead you to some of our men in the woods here.
 * Halthor: I love you so much...
 * Carock: There's been a change of plans.
 * Carock: The Princess is free, find her and take her alive.
 * Conjurer: What of Hylia's first knight?
 * Carock: Put him under stasis.
 * Halthor: If I remember correctly, one of my hideouts is just to the northeast of here.
 * Kazakk (cuts the ropes binding Halthor): Lead the way, Keaton.

Interlude
An army of Lanayru Province comes to the Hylians' aid. POV switches to the Wizzrobes. Link hears the sound of Chilfos being conjured.
 * Aydia: We saw the fires and came to investigate.
 * Aydia: I'm captain Aydia of Lanayru Province.
 * Kazakk: Your aid is greatly appreciated, Half Breed.
 * Conjurer: It seems a full contingent of Lanayru soldiers has arrived.
 * Carock: Conjure reinforcement of our own.
 * Conjurer: But sir, Her Grace has not given us clearance for mass summoning.
 * Carock: Do it!
 * Conjurer: I will at once, brother Carock!
 * Link: Oh no...
 * Aydia: You know what that sound was?
 * Link: They are conjuring Chilfos.
 * Zelda: What's a Chilfos?

Outro

Having embedded all daggers into the crystal, Impa strikes at it and breaks it, freeing Saria.
 * Link: Aydia, have you seen the Princess?
 * Aydia: I told her to take cover in the central dome!
 * Aydia: You're welcome...
 * Link: Take my hand and run with me!
 * Zelda: But I...
 * Link: Please, you have to trust me!
 * Kazakk: Keep your feathers off of my daughter.
 * Kazakk: Keep my daughter safe, Link.
 * Conjurer: Brother Carock, are you OK?!
 * Carock: I'm ordering a full retreat.
 * Conjurer: But sir, what of the Princess?
 * Carock: I said full retreat, dammit!
 * Oocca: His Highness has requested an audience with you.
 * Kazakk: Have you seen that Keaton thief?
 * Aydia: I'll keep my soldiers on watch for her.
 * Link: I think we've lost him.
 * Zelda: Thank you for helping me escape.
 * Link: You knew the Wizzrobes were going to attack us ahead of time.
 * Zelda: Yes.
 * Link: I'm guessing you knowing is related to being on fire.
 * Zelda: Ever since I was a child I would dream of events.
 * Zelda: Sometimes I'd see the distant past, sometimes I'd see the future.
 * Zelda: Every time I dream flames would appear, but no one believed me.
 * Zelda: You're the first person to say otherwise.
 * Link: There hasn't been a prophet in Hyrule since the days of Mudora.
 * Zelda: Nor should there ever be again.
 * Link: I don't know what to do.
 * Link: We should head back to Vigjaro.
 * Zelda: My master will know what to do about your visions if they are true.
 * Zelda: No, your master is not who she says she is!
 * Link: She...
 * Zelda: I've seen the woman you serve in a dream.
 * Zelda: I've seen her do terrible things to make this sword.
 * Zelda: We have to get as far from her as we can.
 * Link: I've known her for so long...
 * Link: She's practically raised me as a mother.
 * Link: Why would she lie about her motives to me?
 * Zelda: She's up to no good, that's all I know.
 * Zelda: Please, you have to trust me...
 * Link: What's your plan?
 * Zelda: We need to keep going north away from Vigjaro.
 * Link: North into Lanayru Province, which is crawling with Gohma.
 * Laruto: Thank you for taking Ralis down south during this mess.
 * Rusl: Oh no worries, we might make a man of him yet before you return.
 * Laruto: I only hope we have a chance to push back the Gohma.
 * Carock: She knew what my orders were, Your Grace!
 * Hylia: You lost more than half of my Pyromancers and made an enemy of the King!
 * Hylia: Odds are we'll need to resort to a military takeover now!
 * Hylia: You have disgraced the name of your Order!
 * Hylia: Return to Vigjaro at once before you make a further mess of the situation! (cuts the communication and turns to Lana and Nostrum)
 * Lana: You summoned me, Your Grace?
 * Hylia: I need you to search the countryside for Link and the Princess.
 * Hylia: It would seem he's gone rogue and is on the run.
 * Lana: Oh he's probably just being a big dork as usual.
 * Hylia: Hundreds of fellow Wizzrobes are dead due to his actions.
 * Lana: What...?
 * Hylia: I suspect the Princess is trained in some form of sorcery.
 * Hylia: I need you to put her and Link in stasis, and bring them back to me.
 * Nostrum: Link trusts you more than anyone, but beware of the Princess.
 * Lana: I'll bring Link back home, safe and sound. (leaves)
 * Nostrum: My son would not lie of the Princess having forknowledge.
 * Nostrum: What if she is a prophet, and not a mind reader as you suggest?
 * Nostrum: History tells us there will never be the gift of foresight again.
 * Nostrum: If your presumption is wrong, how can there be a prophet here and now?
 * Hylia: You know firsthand how little care there is for keeping proper history in Hyrule.
 * Nostrum: And what of the King, who will surely come after us for this incident?
 * Hylia: He cannot hope to contend with us while the Gohma are rampaging in his Kingdom.
 * Nostrum: How will we maintain control when word of our attempt on his life gets out?
 * Hylia: Link may still be of use to us in that regard.
 * Saria: This is all my fault.
 * Impa: Don't blame yourself for this.
 * Impa: This all goes back long before either of us were here.
 * Saria: I could have said no to them.
 * Impa: We should focus on solving the problem, rather than giving and taking blame.
 * Impa: Sulkaris will certainly make a grab for the Triforce.
 * Impa: We need to gather all the Sages in order to face her.
 * Impa: We'll need all our talents, a First Sage has never been destroyed before.
 * Saria: Is it even possible to kill a First Sage?
 * Impa: Uncertainty did not stop King Gustaf from trying.
 * Saria: He did such a wonderful job...
 * Impa: When you get to my age, giving up before trying is no option.
 * Impa: Sometimes I forget you're older than me.
