"Interesting indeed." Happy agreed half-heartedly as his attention was attracted to certain item in a display box. He hadn't even noticed Zant leave. He moved quickly and came to stand next to the artifact. In neat print, it was labeled [i]MAJOR'A MASK.[/i] He eyed it suspiciously, examining every fine detail. "I wonder how much of it is actually real." He had a bit of a growl in his voice as he determined that the mask was fake.

He walked away from the display box with an angry frown so uncharacteristic it was almost scary. He continued to look around, but he wasn't paying much attention to anything. That mask was the reason he never knew his family. Somewhere along the line, one of his ancestors had gone off looking for it and never returned. As a result, his great grandfather, grandfather and his father had all done the same thing in hopes to also find out what had happened to the other seekers.

The mask was living up to its legend without even being worn. It did bad things. Certainly the fate of his father and those before him was terrible?

Ganondorf gave the shadow another look-over. No free will? This could prove to be quite interesting. He stroked his fiery beard in thought as he watched the other for any misleading signs.

"I was going into Castle Town today. Why don't you accompany me and we can talk about this... business." He wanted to keep an eye on Dark Link. He still didn't trust him. "I would like to learn more about you. Are you thirsty? Surely a long walk through the dessert has dried you out." He ordered a servant to get Dark Link a jug of water with a single flick of a hand.

He led the shadow out to the carriage and invited him to take a seat inside. He looked at the unconscious body strewn across the ground. As he was looking around, something caught his eye. Something sparkled red on top of nearby dune. Perhaps it was a dropped treasure? He ordered one of the carriage's guards to look into it.
