(seriously, with pride) This role can't be left to just anyone. To be the village's representative is a position of great pride and honor. This is the sword we are to present to the royal family. I've put all my soul into crafting this sword. No matter how peaceful this world may be...someday, something will happen. When that time comes, I'll be the only swordsman protecting the people of this village. But having only one person protecting a village is a bit questionable...so...I want you to join me.

(barking angrily) DON'T BE FOOLISH! Link is- Link! Wait! Wait, I said! (firmly) Stop blaming yourself! This was NOT your fault! 

(gently) I'd always known you had some secrets. No matter how much one acts, he cannot hide his true nature. But it doesn't matter who you are or from where you come. These two years must have been hard on you...
