What Link was describing actually made a lot of sense to Sora, and he nodded along as the other boy explained. "I think that's better, actually! I dunno, I learned a lot of stuff that... I wasn't sure why I was even learning it, you know?" Like math. Being able to add and subtract stuff was important, maybe, but past that he just didn't see the point.

Still, it made sense that different places would handle it in different ways, and Sora had at least gotten to know his friends through his classes. Then again, he figured he probably would have come across them anyway, since Destiny Islands was so small.

"So Ordon is the place that you're from?" he asked. It had a ranch, at least, and Link had been able to learn how to use a sword there, so it couldn't be too small.
