Scroll: XXXVI

Link had always wanted to be a great swordsman like his father. So when he had the chance to learn from the best swordsmen in Hyrule, he jumped at the chance. Zelda’s guards were the best in the land, and Link was eager to learn from them. But he soon grew overconfident in his abilities and stopped listening to their advice. One day, Link was sparring with one of the guards when he got careless and was disarmed. The guard scolded him for his carelessness and told him that he needed to learn from someone who could teach him humility. Sheik, one of Zelda’s advisors, overheard the conversation and offered to teach Link himself. Link was humbled by Sheik’s offer and agreed to learn from him. Under Sheik’s tutelage, Link learned the true meaning of being a swordsman: not just about technique, but also about honor and discipline. He also learned that being overconfident could lead to disaster. Link eventually became one of the greatest swordsmen in Hyrule, and he always remembered the lessons he learned from Sheik.

Author: Rauru

Rauru, also known as Kaepora Gaebora when in his owl form, is an ancient Hylian and the Sage of Light in Ocarina of Time. Many ages before the events of Ocarina of Time, he constructed a new, second Temple of Time over the former location of the Sealed Temple during the Era of Chaos, a chaotic period that followed many years after the events of Skyward Sword. He did so to protect the Triforce from the onslaught of greed, with the Temple of Light, situated at the center of the Sacred Realm, becoming its resting place and the Temple of Time acting as its only, locked entrance. Rauru then remained in the Temple of Light and protected the sacred relic for many years.
