Listen to the song if you'd like to.
As the next day flew by Link and I sat in the ranch chatting. "Alright Link, mind herding the goats one last time before you go?" Fado asks, Link smiled and stood. "Of course, ready to go (Y/n)?" He asked and I smiled. "Yeah, I am nervous though." I admitted. "About what?" Link asked tilting his head. "Well.. when I meet my best friend again. Will he be mad I forgot him?" I asked worriedly, Link smiled softly. "If I know about being a best friend, it's that even if you forget I'm sure they'll be happy to see you safe and sound." He said grabbing my shoulder and giving it a squeeze. I nodded slowly and smiled, quickly hugging him. "Thank you for all you've done for me Link, I'll never forget you. I promise." Link nodded and hugged back. "Of course (Y/n)." He said and stepped back. "Alright, let's do this." Link called for Epona and mounted her, herding the goats again. Fado smiled at me warmly. "Well (Y/n), it's a pleasure meeting you. I'd love to see you again, hopefully you'll visit?" He asked and I nodded. "For sure!" I promised. Link finished and got off of Epona, leading her and I out the gate and heading to pick up the gift.
As we were heading to get the gift Bo stopped us, speaking to us about delivering the gift and Hyrule. Ilia came from her house and checked out Epona. "She's hurt!" She snapped and looked at Link. "You've been pushing her to hard haven't you!" Before Link could say anything Ilia took Epona's reigns and walked away angrily. "Wait, Ilia he—" Ilia cast me a nasty look as she marched off with Epona, I stood stricken looking to Link. He sheepishly ran after her, and I followed. "Ilia please!" Link pleader following her, she turned and glared. "No! You need to consider her health too!" Ilia snapped and kept walking, Colin stood at the gate gulping as he watched Ilia walk past angrily. He slowly walked towards us. "She's going to the spring, can I come with? Talo and Malo don't let me pass, they just make fun of me." I smiled softly. "Of course Colin." I said softly.
"Thanks a lot Colin, why'd you have to snitch?" Talo hissed seeing Colin, he hid behind Link. Talo looked up and smiled at Link. "Can we play with your sword? Can we?" He smiled and took it off. "Of course." Link said handing over the wooden sword, Talo cheered and ran off with Malo. The two beat the dummies and Colin smiled. "Thank you." He said as we walked to the spring with a sigh. The gate was locked and Link sighed looking at Colin and I. "I'll go in the back way, you guys go in and try to talk her into letting me have Epona back." Link said and ran back, Colin smiled at me and knocked on the gate. "I swear if it's Link I'll— (Y/n)! Colin! Hey." Ilia smiled and opened the gate wider, we walked in. I walked towards Epona and pet her gently. "Ilia? Can you please return Epona to Link?" Colin asked softly. Ilia glared, shaking her head.
"He didn't treat Epona right, so he doesn't deserve her." Ilia growled, Colin frowned and splashed through the water towards her. "Well, she had to save Talo from the monsters! Link had to push her to get them back safe." Ilia blinked. "I didn't know that.." she murmured. "And I need to take her to castle town to see if anyone is looking for me Ilia. It could be my only chance of going home, please?" Ilia frowned and sighed. "Well," Link came out of a hole and stood, brushing himself off. "Link, I'm so sorry!" Ilia said running and hugging him. Link blushed and hugged back. "It's okay.." He said softly as Ilia pulled away. "I didn't know you saved Talo, that's amazing Link. And Epona should be alright to go with you two, as long as you be safe." With that Link and I smiled to each other. I began to attempt and mount Epona on my own.
The rumbling of the ground stopped me as I turned in fear, three giant monsters burst through the gate. Ilia screamed and was trampled along with Colin. I ran over to help and saw Link doing the same, he was hit over the head hard and knocked to the ground. I looked up with wide eyes finding the same fate to me.
As soon as (Y/n) and Link where knocked out the monsters retrieved Ilia and Colin as prizes, not knowing their master was watching. Zant witnessed (Y/n) being knocked out, and face down in the water no less set the man into a frenzy. He sent shadow beings for the monsters and a sword to (Y/n) for her protection. The shadow beings gingerly laid her upon shore with the sword across her chest and left Link in the water. The hero awoke and saw (Y/n) safe and sound quickly running from the spring to go save Ilia. As he ran though, (Y/n) had awoken and was following close behind.
