Airantou Trials

Stranded on Airantou

Lightning ravaged the skies, and thunder sounded loud up in the heavens. The storm pierced Link's soul.

Hyrule. A place so close to Link's heart, yet so far from him now. A place of beauty, love, and friendship. From the top of the stunning Death Mountain, to the bottom of Lake Hylia, he had fought so very long and hard to free the beauty of a land he loved.

It's been weeks or months for Link to prepare for his fight with Calamity Ganon. He's freed the Divine Beasts of Ganon's control, completed the Master Sword trials and all the shrines in the region of Hyrule(including DLC), upgraded his armour to 4 stars and the Champion's blessings to +, and completed all side and shrine quests in Hyrule. With every strong armor, shield and weapon equipped, he was ready for the fight to free Zelda.

Yet, when he heard of a lost and forgotten 125th shrine somewhere on an island, he headed out to the sea to find the shrine. Sure, he thought it would be similar to Eventide Island, which might be the hard in his opinion, but Link has survived worst from the Master Sword trials.

Right now, Link wasn't thinking about how much he missed Hyrule. He was hopelessly lost, and had been out at sea for just a day. He now encountered what would later be labeled "Typhoon Season."

Yes, there were storms during his time in Hyrule, which he swore were horrible. Cliffs were near impossible to climb even with the upgraded Climbing Set, and thunderstorms would strike him as long as he has a tiny sliver of metal with him. On the bright side, he can farm for some bomb arrows from enemy camps when he runs out of them.

He pulled on the ropes, trying to hold the sails steady, but knew his task was futile. He ran to the tiller, and turned it jarringly toward west. Link had learned much of sailing by his own merits over 6 months with rafts, waiting for the right wind and using Korok leaves. When the easterly wind blew, turning the sails west would help him catch the wind and gain maximum speed, speed that he hoped to use to get out of this frigid, miserable place.

Just then, his ship seemed to run-aground. It had hit a reef, and was splintering. Link ran back up to the tiller, from the sails he was manning, and tried with all his might to turn the ship, but it was no use. His last frantic moments before the ship stopped abruptly and slammed him into the front of the boat knocking him unconscious were the worst of his life.

Suzu and Tonkatsu walks to the cliffs edge while Suzu holds the fishing rod and Tonkatsu following not much behind.

"One...Two..." said Suzu in a confident voice, steadying her fishing rod in a throwing position.

"Go!" exclaimed Suzu , throwing the line in the water.

"Please wait for a while, Tonkatsu. I'll make something delicious soon, okay?"said Suzu while she was steadily sitting on the cliffs edge and Tonkatsu sitting/standing behind her.

Suzu's face brightened and said, "There was a big storm last night, so I'll catch something for sure!"

Something caught the line and Suzu stood up in happiness, while Tonkatsu jumped in enjoyment. "Great!"

"I never expected a catch this fast!" said Suzu, while she stood up pulling the rod as hard as she could.

"Ehhh?" yelled Suzu in confusion.

But unexpectedly she caught the young champion looking pale.

They pulled him out and lay him on the ground, still unconscious.

"This is terrible! I caught a dead body! Wh-wh-what should I do!"exclaimed Suzu in a worried and confused voice, looking around for help while Tonkatsu was jumping around the Hylian champion, examining him.
