Live Your Own Story in Hyrule

Fred smiles as he sees both guests taking on to their roles. He points up to the ship’s crow’s nest and says, “You can get a better view up there.”

Irina's smile stays but becomes more confused when she looks up, up until she sees the crow’s next. “Okay,” she says with her usual happy tone, even though her face does not look so convinced.

She goes towards the mast and passes by Zora Link, smiling to him but not stopping. “Good morning, Link.” She takes a breath and starts climbing the ladder.

Mipha turned the wheel to the right and the ship turned with it, but she turned it a bit too much. So, she guided the wheel back to the left to try and straighten it out. Having not quite gotten the hang of it, she'd end up guiding the ship back to the right again. This wheel was particularly sensitive, that much she's figured out. It truly didn't take much to turn it a small amount.

"Can anyone still see that foam? Let me know and I'll get this ship back in place!" The good news is the ship was moving. She'd gotten it into a snaking motion, but it was moving.

Irina has to hold onto the ladder to avoid falling, but then continues climbing.

Link just continues to watch, half confused and half asleep. He yawns to Irina, “Good… morning?” He watches her disappear up the mast then staggers over to Mipha as she rocks the boat. “Who are we following… and where is everyone else?”

Fred climbs a few rungs on the mast and calls out to Mipha, “Oh, you are doing a great job. Now just keep a slight angle. We are still in the foam trail.”

They travel for some distance, meeting little resistance. After some time, Irina can perhaps see the foam intensifying and some object appear in the horizon.

Irina tried to pay attention so she wouldn't miss anything, looking in different directions. However, she kept one hand holding the low railing of the crow’s nest—the boat moved quite a bit, so she needed it for stability.

“Oh!” She says to herself, only then letting the railing go to hold the spyglass with both hands. “I see something!” She tells the rest, louder. “There is something in front of us!” She keeps looking but points with one hand.

Fred bounces with joy, “There is more foam here! We must be getting closer.”

He looks at where Irina is pointing and calls out to Mipha, “Just a few more degrees starboard!”

"Oh, good! I was hoping we hadn't lost it!" Mipha replied back to Fred. "Okay, maintain a slight angle..." She muttered to herself, slowly steadying the ship's snaking. It wasn't completely gone, but she didn't want to keep rocking everyone back and forth.

"Link, you're awake?" She asked, losing focus only briefly before returning it back to the sea ahead. "We are following a trail of foam. The others have gone missing after a storm from last night overcame them. It's our hope that we'll find them following this strange wake."

She could see what Irina was pointing out ahead and called up, "What might it be? Should I move out of the way?!" Thankfully, Fred was still present to offer some guidance here. "Few degrees starboard," she repeated and gently turned the wheel to the right to steer the ship in that direction.

Irina holds onto the railing again when the ship turns, still looking through the spyglass to try to identify what is in front of them.

Fred points to the object floating just ahead of them. “I see it! Now let's try to retrieve it.” He readies a net.

Before Fred can deploy the net, Link jumps into the water to retrieve it. He grabs whatever it is and signals to the boat then makes his way back, climbing aboard dripping wet but with the object that was floating. He sets it before Fred and Mipha, “Is this it?”

It's the same life preserver that Fred tossed when they first started.

Fred picks it up with a very confused expression. “That is impossible…” he mutters as he sees the small anchor that should have kept it buoyed in place. “I don't understand.” he squeals.

Mipha didn't desire to have her guide disappear out of her sight. Before she could protest, Link hopped into the waters. Her heart skipped a beat watching that and held that way for the entirety of his departure. When he returned, she could breathe easy knowing he was safe and not somehow a victim of their current circumstances.

"A life preserve!' She thought they might have stumbled into one, but Fred's reaction tells her otherwise. "Wait... This is not a different preserver? It's the same one from earlier?"
