"Alright, children. Please be careful." The man said as you and Link prepared to leave, helping you get your stuff together so you would have a smooth trip. "I must go start my morning hunting now, so I will see you two when you return."

Shortly after he left, you and Link were off. But once you left the forest, Link stopped you and pulled out the Sheikah Slate.

"I just remembered I have a way to get us out there faster!" He beamed as he pushed some buttons, and before you knew it, you and Link were instantly taken away from the area.

"LINK! What did I tell you about warning me?! I just don't this is fair, and I-" In all your flailing, you managed to hit something - or rather, someone - and you quickly whirled around, just as startled as the person. "Wha- I thought you were hunting!" The old man laughed.

"I wanted to come up here to take a breath of the fresh air. It is rather nice, I must admit." He smiled, and you looked over him. 'How in Hyrule did he get up here so fast? He hadn't walked off much earlier than us and we teleported!'

"How did you get up here so fast?" You asked, and he waved off the question and looked back out at the castle. You could see a golden glowing coming from within, and when you looked back at Link, you could see he was completely concentrated on that light. Like he was listening.

Looking to the right of the castle, you saw a large volcano, and something was climbing across it. Of course, the Divine Beasts! That was Vah Rudania! You tilted your head, only to now look to the left of the castle to see a large flying thing in the distance. Vah Medoh.

"The Divine Beasts," You breathed, trying to remember the other ones. You knew there were four, but you couldn't quite name the other two. And again, as you thought, more blurry people came to your mind and mixed you up. "They're moving."

"I see it!" Link exclaimed, and both you and the old man turned your attention over to him. "The last shrine!" You walked over to him, and he pointed out to a stone maze like structure, with the shrine right in the middle. "We better get over there." Link ran to the side of the tower and then turned to the man. "Where should we meet you when we're done?"

"I'll let you know." He told you, and while this made you even a little more suspicious of his being, Link gave him a thumbs up and hopped down. The man gave you a wink and a small smile, which started bringing a specific blurry person into your mind. You felt... close, to this person. But you didn't know how.

"Come on, _____!" You shook your head and turned to follow Link, still not able to shake the feeling of familiarity coming from the man.

"Wait up!" The two of you climbed down the tower steps, and after some time, you finally made it to the bottom. Link led you across the area to the stone maze, and right to the entrance. Well, one of many... destroyed, too...

"Okay! All we need to do is get through this!" The two of you began walking through, and after a few steps, you saw a large robot looking thing frozen in one of the entryways. A guardian! "Woah! That thing is huge!"

"And dangerous. Come on, we have to get to the shrine before we get blown up by their lasers." You were half joking, but it was already too late. The next arch you went by, you had to stop at a sudden rumble in the ground, and it was quiet for a moment before a guardian activated straight ahead. Completely stuck in the ground, but still active. And it wasted no time spotting you and aiming. "Link, run!"

You grabbed his wrist and ran back to hide behind the wall, and while confused, he cooperated.

"Is it trying to kill us?" He asked, and you nodded and pushed your back against the wall listening for it or any others that may have awakened. "What do we do?!"
