- [Inside Ganon's room at Ganon's Tower]
- [Link walks cautiously toward a bed surrounded in drapery and sees that Zelda is lying in the bed, with Ganon sitting next to her]
- Ganondorf: Do you sleep still? Wait! Do not be so hasty, boy... I can see this girl's dreams... Oceans... Oceans... Oceans... Oceans... Oceans as far as the eye can see. They are vast seas... None can swim across them... They yield no fish to catch... What did the King of Hyrule say?... That the gods sealed Hyrule away? And they left behind people who would one day awaken Hyrule?
- [Ganon laughs]
- Ganondorf: How ridiculous... So many pathetic creatures, scattered across a handful of islands, drifting on this sea like fallen leaves on a forgotten pool... What they can possibly hope to achieve? Don't you see? All of you... Your gods destroyed you! I have been waiting for you, boy. For one like you... Yes... For the hero.
- [Ganon laughs]
- Ganondorf: Do not betray my expectations.
- Niko: It took me a whole year to do that challenge, and you did it already? Why, I don't know what to say! I'm pleased to have you as my... as my... my underling!
- Niko: It will probably take you at least one year before you're good enough to make it all the way here. One rough year. One tough year, full of bumps and bruises.
- [in Ganon's room at Forsaken Fortress]
- Ganondorf: It's been a while, boy. You have done well to sneak into my fortress and wriggle your way all the way up here. I suppose the least I can do is commend you for your reckless courage. My name is Ganondorf... And I am the master of Forsaken Fortress.
- [Link cries out in surprise]
- Ganondorf: By the way, boy... When you drew that sword of yours out of its pedestal... Did you by chance notice how all the monsters frozen in time down there suddenly began stirring again? Do you understand precisely what that means?... I highly doubt you do. Foolish child. While that sword is indeed the blade of evil's bane, at the same time, it has long played another role... You see, it is also a sort of key... a most wretched little key that has kept a seal on me and my magic intact! By withdrawing the blade, you have broken that seal...
- [Link's eyes grow wide - he lunges for Ganon with the Master Sword and is quickly deflected - Ganon draws his own sword]
- Ganondorf: You cannot defeat me with a blade that does not sparkle with the power to repel evil! What you hold is useless. Go back to the world below, and tell that to the pathetic fools who made this blade! Its power is gone, and its edges are dull!
- [Out on the roof of Ganon's tower. Link is ready with weapon in hand to meet Ganon who is now gazing off into space, lost in thought]
- Ganondorf: My country lay within a vast desert. When the sun rose into the sky, a burning wind punished my lands, searing the world. And when the moon climbed into the dark of night, a frigid gale pierced our homes. No matter when it came, the wind carried the same thing... Death. But the winds that blew across the green fields of Hyrule brought something other than suffering and ruin. I coveted that wind, I suppose. It can only be called fate... That here. I would again gather the three with the crests... That I should lay my hand on that which grants the wishes of the beholder... That when power, wisdom, and courage come together, the gods would have no choice but to come down... The power of the gods... The Triforce! He who touches it will have whatever he desires granted! Already, the crest of wisdom is mine... All that remains...
- [the crest of courage glows on the back of Link's hand]
- Ganondorf: [Ganon attacks]
- Beedle: You want to use your Complimentary ID? OK! Here it goes... You are sooooo GREAT. Absolutely fantastic! INCREDIBLE! And there you go! Isn't it nice to be complimented once in a while? It is, isn't it?
- Maggie: Is... Is that...? Could it be? The letter from Moe that I saw in my dreams?... Let me read it this instant! Ummm...
- Maggie: "This is Moe. I... like... you... Ma... ggie... so... much... that... I... want... to... eat you... for dinner."
- Maggie: Did you hear that? Those words? This means, it must mean... Can it be...? Is this his marriage proposal?
- Tingle: Tingle, Tingle, Kooloo-limpah!
- Carlov's sculpture: With unmatched talent, he is world's greatest sculptor. It's said the reason he won't let anyone watch him sculpt is because he does so in his underwear. Lately, his club has been losing membership because he hasn't done anything 'cool' with it, but as long as
- [your name]
- Carlov's sculpture: hangs around, everything will be all right!
- King Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule: I have lived regretting the past. And I have faced those regrets. If only I could do things over again... Not a day of my life has gone by without my thoughts returning to my kingdom of old. I have lived bound to Hyrule. In that sense, I was the same as Ganondorf.
- Fish: 'Hoy! Hold it right there, small fry! I don't know where you got your mitts on that Sea Chart you got there... But it looks to me like its pretty much got nothing but seas drawn on it! It's pathetic! In fact, it's almost an insult to call that thing a Sea Chart, if you ask me! What's the matter, small fry? I'm just trying to be nice here! I'm telling you you've got a problem. And you do. Don't give me that stupefied look! It makes you look like you oughta be in diapers!
