As Mido wasted their time, Sheik impatiently ran his fingers across one of the daggers hidden on his person. It would be really easy to scare Mido away so they could move on. But aunt Impa had told him that his skills were supposed to used to protect people. Scaring Mido didn't protect anybody. Instead, they'd have to play his stupid game. Last time Sheik had checked, there were no monsters between the the village and the Great Deku Tree, Linkle didn't need a sword and shield. Besides, Sheik could handle any monsters that did show up. He would make sure that she was okay.

Sheik sighed at the annoying task they now had at hand. Gently he grabbed hold of Linkle's arm, and led her a short distance away. He made sure that Mido was out of ear shot before answering her question. "Well, there's a shield at the shop. But it's forty rupees. We'll have to find the money for it. As for the sword." Sheik's gaze went up to the maze of fences that the Kokiri liked to play and climb in. "There's one that I can think of, but we could get in a lot of trouble for it. It's a Kokiri sacred treasure, called the Kokiri Sword."

It sounded like this task was going to be time consuming. The Great Deku Tree had sounded urgent when he had asked Sheik to go get Linkle. He hoped this didn't take too much time. Otherwise the Great Deku Tree might get mad at him. At least aunt Impa wasn't there still waiting, she had probably already returned to the castle and Princess Zelda.
