"The people believed that the Hero of Time would again come to save them. ...But the hero did not appear.
Faced by an onslaught of evil, the people could do nothing but appeal to the gods. In their last hour, as doom drew nigh, they left their future in the hands of fate. What became of that kingdom...? None remain who know."
-Intro
The Wind Waker
"The memory of the kingdom vanished, but its legend survived on the wind's breath. On a certain island, it became customary to garb boys in green when they came of age. Clothed in the green of fields, they aspired to find heroic blades and cast down evil. The elders wished only for the youths to know courage like the hero of legend..."
-Intro
The Wind Waker

"Wow, that's a decrepit old shield... Are you sure you can still use that thing? Are you going to get splinters and cry?"
-Tetra
The Wind Waker
"You watch everything I'm about to show you real careful-like so you can cram it into your no-doubt mushy swabbie brain!"
-Niko
The Wind Waker
"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."
-Niko
The Wind Waker
"Whaaaaat!?? You did it already???

I had no idea you wanted to be my swabbie so badly!"
-Niko
The Wind Waker
"Uh...OK!
You're the best swabbie of all time! So...I guess I'll just give you the bombs! Go on! Take 'em!"
-Niko
The Wind Waker
"...But you have the Master Sword!
That sword shall shine in the darkness, casting back evil... With it in your hands, none can keep you from rescuing your sister!"
-The King of Red Lions
The Wind Waker
"...it is too soon for us to relax. Ganon cannot be destroyed by such simple means as wrath and fire."
-Valoo
The Wind Waker
"When the gods heard our pleas, they chose to seal away not only Ganon, but Hyrule itself...and so, with a torrential downpour of rains from the heavens...

-Laruto
The Wind Waker
"You must find the one who carries on my bloodline... The one who holds this sacred instrument..."
-Laruto
The Wind Waker
"Nothing can stop the flow of time or the passing of generations...but the fate carried within my bloodline endures the ravages of all the years. It survives."
-Laruto
The Wind Waker
"I am Fado of the Kokiri tribe. I know I appear to you as a child, but the eyes can oft deceive. I am a most esteemed sage."
-Fado
The Wind Waker
"That Wind Waker you hold was used long ago to conduct us sages when we played our song to call upon the gods.
In those days, it was always the king who conducted for us...
Please... Tell the king that I will still play...even in the next world!"
-Fado
The Wind Waker
"Ahh, like a molting snake that casts off its dead skin!
That place is so empty and quiet... one can almost hear the echo of dead leaves falling to the cold, cracked ground!"
-Fishman, talking of the Forsaken Fortress
The Wind Waker

-Tingle
The Wind Waker
"You have controlled the wind and crossed the seas, and here, near the end of your quest, the power of the gods has been bestowed upon you...
Surely, from this moment on, you shall be known as the Hero of Winds..."
-King of Red Lions

Go forth!
To Hyrule! To Zelda's side!"
-The King of Red Lions
The Wind Waker
"Long ago, Ganon's Tower was an impenetrable fortress that not even the daring and dauntless Knights of Hyrule could hope to assail."
-The King of Red Lions
The Wind Waker
"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?!
How ridiculous..."
-Ganondorf
The Wind Waker
"So many pathetic creatures, scattered across a handful of islands, drifting on this sea like fallen leaves on a forgotten pool... What can they possibly hope to achieve?"
-Ganondorf
The Wind Waker
"Yes, surely you are the Hero of Time, reborn...
Your time has come...
Come now... Stand before me!"
-Ganondorf
The Wind Waker
"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."
-Ganondorf
The Wind Waker
"But the winds that blew across the green fields of Hyrule brought something other than suffering and ruin.
I coveted that wind, I suppose."
-Ganondorf
The Wind Waker
"...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..."
-Ganondorf
The Wind Waker
"Gods! Hear that which I desire!
Expose this land to the rays of the sun once more! Let them burn forth!
Give Hyrule to me!!!"
-Ganondorf
The Wind Waker
"Gods of the Triforce! Hear that which I desire! Hope! I desire hope for these children! Give them a future! Wash away this ancient land of Hyrule! Let a ray of hope shine on the future of the world!!! And let our destinies finally be fulfilled..."
-Daphnes Nohanson Hyrule
The Wind Waker
"Ughnn... Heh heh...
The wind...
It is blowing..."
-Ganondorf
The Wind Waker
"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 turning to my kindom of old.
I have lived bound to Hyrule.
In that sense, I was the same as Ganondorf."
-Daphnes Nohanson Hyrule
The Wind Waker
"I want you to live for the future.
There may be nothing left for you...
But despite that, you must look forward and walk a path of hope, trusting that it will sustain you when darkness comes."
-Daphnes Nohanson Hyrule
The Wind Waker
"Farewell...
This is the only world that your ancestors were able to leave you.
Please...forgive us."
-Daphnes Nohanson Hyrule
The Wind Waker
"You could... You could come with us!
Yes, of course... We have a ship! We can find it! We WILL find it!
The land that will be the next Hyrule!"
-Zelda
The Wind Waker
"...
Ah, but child... That land will not be Hyrule.
It will be YOUR land!"
-Daphnes Nohanson Hyrule
The Wind Waker
"I have scattered the seeds of the future..."
-Daphnes Nohanson Hyrule
The Wind Waker
"Link! I'm sorry! I overslept!
I think it's time for us to say good-bye to this place.
We must return to the world above!
Back to our ocean!"
-Zelda
The Wind Waker
"What are you laughing at, Ganondorf?! You're insane!"
-Zelda
The Wind Waker
"Ganon cannot be defeated by human hands, let alone by what little strength you possess."
-King of Red Lions
The Wind Waker
"That garb you wear... Could you be the legendary hero? Has the king at long last found the Hero of Time?"
-Great Deku Tree
The Wind Waker
"He has returned...
Ganon has returned..."
-Great Deku Tree
The Wind Waker
"You must believe in your own courage, which has led you to triumph over the many hardships you have faced...and you must triumph once again!
You must rise above the trial of the gods!"
-King of Red Lions
The Wind Waker
"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!"
-Ganondorf
The Wind Waker
"You, too, must abide by the laws of the past...and so the time has come for me to teach you the fate into which you were born, the very reason that you live."
-Daphnes Nohanson Hyrule, to Tetra
The Wind Waker
"Now that my power has been restored, there is no safe haven for you!
I have taken your precious Zelda.
And here, you shall fall into eternal slumber!"
-Ganondorf
The Wind Waker
"So many pathetic creatures, scattered across a handful of islands, drifting on this sea like fallen leaves on a forgotten pool... What can they possibly hope to achieve?"

For one like you...

Do not betray my expectations."

"...a day came when a fell wind began to blow across the kingdom. The great evil that all thought had been forever sealed away by the hero...
...once again crept forth from the depths of the earth, eager to resume its dark designs."
-Intro
The Wind Waker
"But then, when all hope had died, and the hour of doom seemed at hand...
...a young boy clothed in green appeared as if from nowhere. Wielding the blade of evil's bane, he sealed the dark one away and gave the land light. "

-Miyamoto, during an early interview with Famitsu about OoT.
"There are six types of magic, including fire, wind, darkness, and light. I'm thinking about mixing the different types of magic. Truthfully, you can use magic in conjunction with Link's bow and arrow."

Eiji Aonuma
"Well, excuuuuuse me, Princess!"
