Early the next morning, Link and Zelda were about to head off to their next destination, standing near the exit of the village. Restocking their food supply, Zelda was double checking to make sure they had everything.

Link looked at the sword, reminding himself what was there to come. Putting it away at his side, he closed his eyes while clearing his mind.

Impa walked over towards him, stopping where she stood. "Be careful on your journey, your highness."

Opening his eyes, Link nodded. "I will. Thanks." He wasn't used to that title just yet.

A young girl was standing by Impa's side, bowing her head. "I heard you're the one who saved me. Thank you so much."

Link smiled at the young girl. "You're welcome. I'm glad to see you're doing better."

The girl raised her head. "Thanks to you!"

Zelda came over, gently pounding her fist on Link's shoulder to get his attention. "Let's go, Link."

"Right." Link bowed his head respectfully. "Thank you for letting Zelda and I stay the night, and for feeding us such fantastic food."

"You're welcome." Impa responded. "When you get the chance, please come visit again. Or perhaps... When you take over the kingdom, you and I can discuss some things."

Link started sweating, nervously laughing. "Yeah... Right..." He didn't know the first thing of how to even run a kingdom. Could he really do it when the time comes?

"I do not wish to keep you any longer. I wish you and Zelda safe travels."

"See you later."

"Until next time." Zelda started taking the lead with Link following behind. He had no clue where they were headed at this point, but he would soon find out when they reached their next destination.

It was still hard to tell if it was morning due to the sky being dark. Feeling like it was still night, Link let out a yawn. "This sky is really throwing off my body clock."

"Despite it being dark, it's already morning. Besides, that means we just might make it out of the Lost Woods by tomorrow morning."

"You sure about that?" Link didn't seem sure. "I just have a bad feeling something bad is going to happen."

"It's because we're drawing near the Autumn season. But we have one more checkpoint before that. It's called Korok Village."

"Korok Village?"

"It's a village where the Great Deku Tree lives. The villagers are all children."

"Sounds like a fun village. What do they do? Play ring around the rosie?"
