Legend of Zelda, The Kingdom's Tears

Trouble in Goron City

"This Upheaval really did a number here", Sheik said, the three moving towards Goron City by traveling down a new path.

"Lava cooling down, the Gorons not acting like themselves... I've heard a lot", Kate muttered.

"Come on, Goron City's just up ahead... Yunobo or Bludo might be able to tell us what's going on", Link reassured as the three passed by many Gorons who were sitting down, eating what looked to be of rock roast... but its color was off and all the eyes of the Goron's eating it was the exact same color.

Upon walking into Goron City, it was the same as what they saw before, almost all the Gorons were sitting down, eating the strange rock roast.

"Krane, not you too", Bludo said, catching their attention, "and after all my warnin's about the marbled rock roast",

"So, everyone's acting funny 'cause...", a Goron child, Offrak began.

"'Cause of the marbled rock roast that President Yunobo is mining...", the other Goron child, Slergo stated.

"Marbled rock roast", Sheik asked.

"What're you mumblin' about over there", a voice called out, gaining everyone's attention as Yunobo walked up to them, he was wearing a mask, "you all talkin' about marbled rock roast, are ya... there's nothing to worry about, in my opinion, now stop flapping yer rock chompers, and get over here, goro",

Slergo and Offrak quickly ran to Yunobo's side as the three looked at each other in shock... Yunobo wasn't like this in the past; Yunobo's eyes than landed on the three.

"What could YOU want", Yunobo asked in an almost angry mumble, "well, if it ain't Link, Kate, and Sheik, you're so tiny, I barely even noticed ya",

"Yunobo, what's the big idea, talkin' like that to our esteemed guests", Bludo scolded.

"Bludo, or should I say "Boss", you really don't know your place, do ya", Yunobo said turning towards one of the kids, "Slergo, tell me, who runs Goron City these days",

"YunoboCo....", Slergo said.

"And, Offrak, who's in charge of YunoboCo", Yunobo asked.

"You are, President Yunobo...", Offrak said in a mumble

"You hear that, Bludo, you're not needed round here anymore", Yunobo said, almost sneering.

"Ya think I'm just gonna sit here and...", Bludo began, anger in his tone.

"So, Link, Kate, Sheik, what's your business in Goron City, huh", Yunobo asked.

"Princess Zelda's gone missing and we're wondering if anything strange happened here", Link explained.

"Princess Zelda, huh... and you're wonderin' about any strange goin's-on", Yunobo asked.

"Princess Zelda, I heard she'd gone missing, but yer tellin' me she's STILL missing", Bludo asked in shock.

"I'm afraid so", Kate said.

"I mean, it's hard to miss those lovely blonde locks of hers, after all", Bludo said.

"Locks, does that mean hair", Offrak asked.

"Oh, oh, the lady with hair like that, she's the same one President Yunobo talks to about marbled rock roast", Slergo explained.

"Pipe down, you two, you'll keep your traps shut if you know what's good for ya", Yunobo stated, "as you can see, Goron City is the picture of peace, and we can't help with Princess Zelda, so you'd better shove off... I've gotta go get more marbled rock roast, can't afford to keep her waiting",
