On Thin Ice

On Thin Ice is the tenth Hyrule Historia mission and sixth of Rise of Ganon.

Intro
A platoon of Hyrulean Knights escort Zelda and Impa to Snowpeak. Zelda and Impa meet up with Rauru in the fortress. Three days later, the Hylian army spots Miniblin scouts approaching Snowpeak.
 * Hylian Knight: Open the gate! The Princess lives!
 * Princess Zelda: I’m glad to see you Sage Rauru.
 * Rauru: Thank the Goddesses you are alive. What of your father?
 * Princess Zelda: Dead.
 * Rauru: I am so sorry my child.
 * Princess Zelda: I don’t need pity now. I need an army, a clean outfit, and a coat. It’s freezing here.
 * Rauru: There should be fresh outfits up in the manor.
 * Princess Zelda: I hope there’s a blue one. (ascends the stairs)
 * Rauru: She never wanted to wear pink like her mother.
 * Impa: What is the situation here, Rauru?
 * Rauru: As far as we know Snowpeak and Lake Hylia are the only two establishments that have not fallen.
 * Rauru: Thank the Goddesses they have not found the Triforce.
 * Impa: It is safe with the Volvagians on Death Mountain.
 * Impa: However, the Princess believes the Moblin leader marches on Death Mountain as we speak.
 * Rauru: We cannot stay here then, we have to stop the Moblins!
 * Impa: Even if the Volvagians and their Goron slaves diminished the Moblin forces, we need more soldiers.
 * Rauru: There are Hylian soldiers scattered around northern Hyrule.
 * Rauru: If the General and I could rally them here, we could march unto Death Mountain from the northwest.
 * Princess Zelda: That could take days. Ganon might defeat the Gorons and get his hands on the Triforce by then.
 * Rauru: You said you wanted an army. I can give you one, but I need some time.
 * Princess Zelda: You have three days until I march out.
 * Rauru: But my Queen…
 * Princess Zelda: Don’t call me Queen!
 * Rauru: Three days, my Princess.
 * Princess Zelda: We were followed.
 * Impa: Miniblin scouts…
 * Princess Zelda: I hope we have some artillery.
 * Impa: There are very old cannons in the armory, but no ammunition for them. (stabs own hand)
 * Impa: Not conventional ammunition anyway…
 * Princess Zelda: I don’t care if you load them with live Peahats, just get them ready.

Outro
A Sheikah captain speaks to Bongo, who has been observing the battle. '''Meanwhile, the Moblins conquer the Death Mountain Crater from the Volvagians. Ganon enters the Fire Temple and seeks an audience with the Sage of Fire.'''
 * Sheikah Captain: Our spies inform me they plan to march against Ganon, should we stop them here?
 * Bongo: No, let them march to the Fire Temple against Ganon. We are heading south.
 * Sheikah Captain: But what about the Triforce?!
 * Bongo: It will be ours.
 * Dakkon: Who dares invade my empire and kill my slaves?
 * Dakkon: A little Moblin…?
 * Ganon: You know what I come for, Sage.
 * Dakkon: I am Dakkon, Sage of Fire, elder Volvagian, and King of Death Mountain.
 * Dakkon: I was tasked to keep the Triforce out of the hands of people like you.
 * Ganon: Do you guard the Triforce of your own will?
 * Ganon: Or do the Hylians keep you on a leash?
 * Ganon: I will grant you your freedom if you let me pass.
 * Dakkon: A Sage has not betrayed the Goddesses since the time of Sulkaris.
 * Dakkon: If I really wanted freedom, I could stop you and steal the Triforce for myself.
 * Ganon: True, but my army would blow us both up first with the powder kegs I lined throughout the Temple.
 * Ganon: Could a Sage survive that?
 * Dakkon: You bluff, Moblin!
 * Ganon: Do I?
 * Dakkon: Consider us partners, little Moblin.
