The unnerved look in Link's eye was unmistakable. There was only one man he knew to be powerful enough to commit such an atrocity as overtaking the body of another, and that man was dead. What kind of power was held in this place that was capable of matching Ganondorf's? Nothing overruled the divine power of the goddesses. Nothing!

Had the Triforce of Power been taken here upon Ganon's demise? Was it now Link's task to obtain it? But why would the goddesses send him here and take even his sword? And why would there be other "patients" here?

"That's awful," he managed, meeting Sora's eye. "I've... I've seen that happen to a friend," the young Hylian clarified. The incident was still fresh in his memory. "It certainly wasn't any magic I was familiar with," he murmured. Goddesses... He hoped, at least, that she hadn't been in pain. Link needed a change of subject.

"I'm assuming that you had planned on staying in tonight?" Sora gave a pleasant first impression. Link wasn't sure how much of a fighter the boy might be, but he was at least up for the company. Fighting with a companion, or better, a friend, was always better than fighting alone. He wouldn't mind venturing out with Sora.
