Link leapt off of the horse, running towards the fishing club, where his best friend, the Fisherman, lived.
Still reeling from the bizarre occurrence, Link ran down the slope towards the vegetable garden, which was barren and lifeless, except for a single, lone Scarecrow named George.
George has a terrible memory after an accident involving a Master Sword and a watermelon which occurred six years ago. Every time George sees Link, he only remembers him as a child. The poor thing.
Link said his goodbyes to George and swam the short distance to the fishing club...
...When he was attacked by the Fisherman's guard Tektite, Stevie. Stevie is a ruthless guard Tektite, which only obeys a specific set of Terminian orders. Link doesn't have the Terminian accent down yet, so he has one option. RUN!
Phew... Link finally made it. Link opens the door to the fishing club with a smile, ready to greet the Fisherman, who would be surprised at Link's sudden visit. Link couldn't wait.
The Fisherman beamed as Link walked through the door. He was ecstatic that his only returning customer would be coming back for another round of fishing, but he had some terrible news to tell Link.
Somebody had stolen his fishing rods!
