<span class="mu-g">"We Sheikah were chosen long ago to protect the descendents of the <span class="mu-s">Goddess</span>, the royal family of Hyrule. In this duty, <span class="mu-s">secrecy</span> has long been our greatest weapon. That includes the secrets of our past, and the secrets we keep from ourselves."</span> She says, speaking carefully and with intention. <span class="mu-g">"There are many secrets which are kept from the children of our village. The <span class="mu-s">Trial</span> is about uncovering those hidden truths as one becomes an adult. It is also about preserving our history, bringing it out from the <span class="mu-s">shadows</span> and into the light. We learn our past to sustain our future, we bring it back so it isn't forgotten, and we discover what is unknown about ourselves so we can fully know who it is we become."</span> She pauses, and sighs a gentle sigh, smiling a soft smile. Something flashes behind her eyes as she regards you for a quiet moment. <span class="mu-g">"When you are ready, go to <span class="mu-s">Yaro</span> at the boatyard, he will give you your father's canoe. You will go to <span class="mu-s">Catacomb Island</span> and enter the <span class="mu-s">Shadow Temple</span>, and you must find one <span class="mu-s">Sheikah Artifact</span> to return here to the village. You will discover more than relics inside, however, and by learning and keeping the secrets of our past, you will have transitioned into your adulthood."</span>
You nod, smiling confidently. You will not fail.
<span class="mu-g">"Also, your friend <span class="mu-s">Tano</span> came by just before the sun rose to wish you a happy birthday. He wanted to say goodbye to you, he will be leaving soon for the <span class="mu-s">mainland</span>, to fight against the</span><span class="mu-r"><span class="mu-s">Warlord</span></span><span class="mu-g">. You can find him in the <span class="mu-s">watchtower</span>."</span> She adds, nodding. Finally, she reaches into her robes, and then extends her hand out to you, holding a red <span class="mu-s">rupee</span> for you to take. <span class="mu-g">"Last of all, please take this, Zuzo, a small birthday gift from your grandmother. I love you very much, and will be here waiting for your return."</span>
You take the rupee, and release a satisfied exhale, bowing to her slightly from where you're seated. Then you enjoy the wonderful breakfast she prepared for you.
<span class="mu-s">What will you do next?</span>
>Go to the watchtower to see Tano
>Go to the merchant's hut to spend your rupees
>Go to the boatyard to speak with Yaro
