While Link was indeed awake, he had overslept and hadn't finished breakfast. Knowing Rusl was waiting for him he did his best to hurry without rushing things. As soon as he was done eating he ran out the door and rather than take the ladder down simply jumped.

As soon he hit the ground Link began to run hoping at arrive at the Mayor's house before Rusl would get impatient cause he had no interested in being scolded and and once again told how important delivering the Ordon Shield and Hero's Sword was.

After a few minutes he could see his destination and slowed down in an attempt to hide the fact that he had to hurry as much as he did. Eventually he stopped in front of Rusl and quickly explained why he was late. "Sorry, overslept."
