First Sin - [Action/Written]
[Today walking the streets of Luceti is an unusual man that no doubt stands out. Not only due to his odd grayish-green skin, but also his staggering height, exceeding a full seven foot with fiery hair and unusual olive green skin. He's been present in Luceti for several days now, keeping quiet, but today he sets out into the town for a few items. The first is to check the smithy for his armor. Once he finds it, however, he'll need to see about getting it finally repaired. It's likely he'll have all the time he needs for that. Secondly, he is looking for the boy, Link. The time has come to speak with him and to see which of the two whelps it is. He can be found anywhere around the central plaza, in the smithy, or wandering the aisles of the grocery store, with a sort of amazement and disgust for how much food is left out. Such excess... such waste.
Later he deems it appropriate to leave a short message on the journals. Make his presence known. Though not before he takes the precaution of copying the villain list. This place truly was filled with fools to make something so easily accessible. The names of these people could one day be useful to him. Especially if he could manage to avoid being added to those names.]
Since it seems customary to announce one's presence on these journals upon arriving, I shall do so now. I am Ganondorf. I have read the guide and heard of the situation in this place. I wish to be enlightened as to information about our so-called enemies, the 'Third Party'. Thank you.
Signed,
Ganondorf

Let us not speak here, boy. We shall meet at the central plaza.
[And he will say no more of that. It's Link's choice if he wishes to speak with Ganondorf further.]
[voice -> action]
[It takes him a few minutes to get ready - instead of the t-shirt and cargoes he was wearing, he's now in his full Hero regalia - the green tunic and cap, white
long underwearundershirt and leggings, boots, belt, sword belt. The silver gauntlets are snapped on, the Master Sword is set on his back.][And then he picks up the ocarina and simply warps straight to the plaza - he has no intention of letting Ganondorf know what direction he lives in.]
[Alright, Ganondorf. He's here.]
[action]
He betrays none of what he's thinking, merely turning away to walk away from the plaza, so they can have some more privacy.]
Follow me, boy. What we discuss is not for prying ears.
[action]
Fine. But we're not going far. [He might have slept for seven years, but even he knows not to follow his mortal enemy into a secluded area.]
[action]
[The bridge makes an ideal spot. The flowing water makes their conversation difficult to hear and there are few hiding places for anyone to use. Once they have arrived there, he'll turn back to Link. Now then, he's managed to work out one thing on this walk, so he'll address that first.]
That instrument was the Ocarina of Time, was it not? Are you the boy from the forest, the one raised as a Kokiri?
[action]
I am. You don't look like the Ganondorf I fought, though. Why?
[action]
[Not an unimpressive forest brat like this, anyway.]
But I recall seeing you once. You were spying on me, as the princess often did.
[action]
[He remembers he and Zelda watching him, but not what comes after. Wouldn't that mean that he's from some time in between, then, perhaps during the seven years when he slept?]
[But he looks so much... older.]
[action]
When the King of Hyrule turned on me, you were not to be found. [No doubt the boy had fled. He had always assumed the boy to be little more than a cowardly pawn of the princess.] A long, hard war was fought against my people. In the end, the alliance of races defeated my forced and I was imprisoned. In the end I was sealed away, but not by you.
[action]
[How much does he tell him? Some instinct, prompted by the tingle on the back of his left hand, urges him not to say anything about the Triforce, nor about sleeping in the Sacred Realm. And he will not breathe a word about Sheik.]
You killed the King and took over. And when I was old enough, I took the Master Sword and awakened the Sages. I beat you. They sealed you.
[There's brittle anger in his voice - for seven years, Ganondorf had laid waste to Hyrule. But he fights to keep it out of his voice, to keep his voice steady and expression calm.] I'm not lying. But Luceti brings people from all sorts of worlds here - maybe things happened differently in my Hyrule.
[action]
A possibility, but it's of no consequence. Our shared history is not why we are here.
[action]
[action]
[He gives that time to sink in. He turns towards the water, folding his hands behind him.]
I request to be left alone. I will bide my time in this mockery of a world for as long as need be. I do not wish to be antagonized by having you or your allies reveal our history together. [Ganondorf may feel himself justified in his actions, but he knows that few would see things his way. Especially with no one to back him up.]
Your time, as well as the traitor Nabooru's, has long since passed for me so as to be little more than ancient history for me. I have no desire to revive it.
[action]
[But he doesn't want to turn this into a battle. He won't win every clash, and he's sure that Ganondorf wants to avoid an endless cycle of death, return, and penalty over and over. And perhaps... perhaps, this way, the ones he cares about could be safe.]
[Could he really just... leave him be?]
...Fine. Okay. [Oh. Looks like he can.] So long as you don't hurt anyone here, then I'll leave you alone.
[Of course, conversely, if he does hurt anyone in Luceti, then all bets are off.]
[action]
But this is excellent. He had hoped Link would be bright enough to go through with it. This will give him the time he needs to make his next move and plan his strategy. Maybe he will break this truce. Maybe he won't. But this gives him the benefit of time. Something this boy has clearly had in abundance, in adapting to this place.]
Good. We are agreed, then.
[action]
[Unless he breaks his promise, of course.]
Do you need me for anything else?
[action]
[He lets that warning linger. There is no need to expand or explain it's meaning. And with it, he turns his back to Link and begins to continue on down the path, leaving Link to return the way he came. Or teleport away. It is of little concern to him.
Fortunately for Link he's not omniscient here.][action]
Fine.
[And he, too, turns and heads back to the plaza. He has some planning to do...]
