"Mommy, mommy!"
The young Zora princess ran as fast as her little blue feet could carry her, until she stopped in front of her mother, almost slipping on the wet cavern floor.
The mature fish-woman looked at her daughter. "What is it, Ruto dear?"
The little girl was in distress. "Mommy, Lord Jabu-Jabu is acting weird again... He doesn't want to eat and is trashing around!"
"Oh dear... Ever since that dubious Gerudo king has been visiting your father, I've been having some bad feeling... as if something bad would happen soon."
"What are we gonna do, Mommy?" Ruto asked. "Without Lord Jabu-Jabu's protection, how can we Zora enjoy our peaceful life?"
"Don't worry, dear, I'll figure something out... Just keep on caring for his Lordship and be patient..." She went over to her coral-decorated dresser and pulled out a beautiful, blue kimono.
"You're going out?" Ruto asked her mother in bewilderment.
"Yes, Ruto!" her mother nodded while putting on the kimono. "I have to contact someone... Someone who might be able to help us. I don't know if I can find him or if we have enough time... But I have to try! Please, take care of your father during my absence... I know he can be... unreliable sometimes."
"Yes, Mom..." the young princess sighed.
The elegant queen of the Zora smiled and hugged her daughter. "I'll be back as quick as possible, I promise! And here, I'll give you this so you won't be sad..." She handed her daughter a beautiful trinket, composed of three small sapphires that were connected with a golden socket.
Ruto smiled and took the jewel. "It's pretty, Mom... what is it?"
"This is the most precious possession of our kingdom... The Zora Sapphire! Over generations, every female Zora of noble blood has been given this trinket as a token for that man that is going to be her betrothed... when I was younger, I gave this to your father. And now, I'm giving it to you, so you can some day continue our line..."
Ruto held the trinket close to her chest. "Don't you worry, Mom... I will treasure it until the day I'm meeting my true love... And until that day, it will remind me of you..."
"That's a good girl," the queen of the fish-folk smiled and patted her cute daughter's extensive head. "Now be a dear and tell your father I'll be gone for a while, okay?"
"Yes, Mom!" And the young princess left the cavern.

After leaving Zora's domain on foot, the queen stopped at the river's edge to pull one of several thermos flasks out of her travelling bag. She opened it and poured some of the hot water over her head.
In a smooth motion similar to flowing liquid, the queen's body transformed into that of a fairly attractive, middle-aged Hylian female with red hair.
"It's time to find my first husband... and tell my other child of its destiny," Queen Nodoka said to herself.

"What a haul, what a HAUL!"
The diminutive, perverted master of the martial arts school of Anything Goes bounded up the path of Death Mountain with the newest additions of his big underwear collection. The women from Kakariko village could be really angry at times... but it was worth it!
Happosai returned to his secret hideout within the cave he had discovered some weeks ago. Barely anyone was coming in there, because of the monsters (which weren't much of a problem because of his martial arts skills). Every now and then, one of the Gorons would come into the cave, to gather some of their 'tender rock fillet', and then they would leave. Happosai didn't know if the Gorons knew of his presence within the cave, and he didn't really care... He only knew that no angry girl would suspect him to be in here, and even if they did, they wouldn't be crazy enough to follow him.
After enjoying several moments with his darlings, cuddling with bras and ironing some panties (Happosai was the only man in Hyrule to own a modern electric iron), he was sitting down on the grass carpet within his little cave and enjoyed a nice pipe.
Suddenly, a loud rumbling startled him and made him jump to his feet.
"Now, what could've that been?" he mumbled and hurried to the entrance of the cave.
He was surprised to find the entrance blocked by a massive boulder, too big for even HIM to lift. And behind the boulder... he could feel something... some powerful, magic energy.
Happosai was furious. Who dared imprisoning the most powerful martial arts master of Hyrule? He would show them...
Well, if he found a way to move that rock...
Suddenly, he heard a deep growl behind his back. Turning around, he faced three of the biggest lizards he had ever seen in his life.
"Can it be?" he murmured. "I've read some ancient scripts about this species... but they were said to be extinct for hundred years now..."
While the Dodongos slowly approached their victim, Happosai tried remembering the special phrase he had read in that book... What was it again...?
Oh, yes: 'Dodongo dislikes smoke!'
Grinning, he pulled something out of his gi. The fire-breathing dinosaurs stopped in their tracks and stared at the object Happosai was holding.
"HAPPO DAIKARIN!"
