Voice Test | Canon is The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

[harpofhylia]

Reviewing isn't a bad thing, but...

Why did you take me away from the surface in the first place? I have to watch over the Triforce and since Link is staying with me, my disappearance will make him worry.

I don't understand your motivation, Mun.

Comments

[dragmire]

You'll find that your mun is motivated only by self-interest and petty desires.

[harpofhylia]

I would like to think better of her...even if she confuses me.

[dragmire]

Then you give her too much credit and your naive faith in her will only bring you disappointment in the end.

[harpofhylia]

Are you trying to make me feel bad? It won't work. I'm not making any conclusions until I have more information.

[dragmire]

I am not so petty that I feel the urge to antagonize you, regardless of who you may be, Lady Zelda. I merely tell you the inevitable truth, one that has been written tens of thousands of times already in this place.

[harpofhylia]

How long have you been here? [She isn't going to ask questions that don't matter here.] You make it sound like you've been stuck for some time.

[dragmire]

If you are asking how long it is I have been bonded with my own Mun, then it has been some six years since its inception. [It is far too clear he is not content with this relationship. Imprisonment does not suit him.]

[harpofhylia]

That's... [Long. Zelda pales and swallows, considering her own situation.] It must be difficult for you. [Though, honestly, it's probably better for the surface world.]

[dragmire]

It has taken me to many strange lands. Other times were spent waiting idly as I passed into memory only. But it is not wholly without benefits. [Indeed, he doesn't mind his new arrangements. Sure, he's a test subject now, but he does so only until the opportunity presents itself to seize the power of his captors.]

[harpofhylia]

What are those benefits? [She phrases the question cautiously, her eyes never leaving him. He is a dangerous presence.]

[dragmire]

Opportunity. A chance to expand my horizons. I spent far too long dwelling in one place, my thoughts focused there. I have been enlightened to an infinite number of possibilities.

[harpofhylia]

[Not good, not good. She closes her eyes sadly.] Other lands are in danger.

[dragmire]

[Ah. Observant, this one. He doesn't like that.]

All lands are in danger. The incompetence of my captors threatens to be the end of all worlds.

[harpofhylia]

[She can sense...things. Whispers if you will.]

Are they stronger than you?

[dragmire]

They are mere men who play at being gods. They command power over reality itself through the use of machines and science.

[Therein lies the opportunity. It would be so easy to take their precious toys away and use it for more ambitious purposes.]

[harpofhylia]

They can contain you - maybe even control you. [Which means that they are more powerful, yes? That's really unsettling.] All we can do is appeal to them.

[dragmire]

The time for appealing has long since past. But there is no 'we'. You are bound to this place. The perils I face are not yours.

[harpofhylia]

And you are not bound to this place? You can pass from land to land without the aid of your Mun?

[dragmire]

I am bound to Luceti. I come here, when my mun wills it. But I do not linger here longer than need be.

[pirateboss]

[HEY, ANCESTOR.....]

You might as well give it up now. Once a mun, makes up their mind, there's no changing it.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't make trouble for 'em, though.

[harpofhylia]

[Hey there!]

I was afraid of that. But who knows? Maybe she'll lose interest and I can go back?

What kind of trouble?

[pirateboss]

Maybe. But don't count on getting lucky.

You know, causing mischief! Misbehaving. That kind of trouble. Come on.

[harpofhylia]

I wouldn't like to lose hope.

I'm not sure what good that would do me.

[pirateboss]

[Ohhh, she's one of those 'hope' types, huh...reminds her a certain green-clad kid she knows.]

Whaaaat? It's fun! Haven't you ever caused trouble just for fun?

[shortpants_knight]

[You have no idea how happy he is to see you.]

Whatever their motives are, Mundanes aren't easy to dissuade once they get an idea. On the other hand, when and if they choose to put us back where we belong, it's back at the moment we left.

Maybe the opportunity for adventure wouldn't be so bad, even if some of the places you can end up are a bit... questionable.

[And while he wouldn't wish the place he's at on anyone, at least if she did somehow end up there, he would do what he can to keep her safe.]
