Ha! It's rare to see a young lad like you in a village like this! ... You aren't...part of the Yiga Clan, are you? ...

Ha! I'm just pullin' your leg! You looked so serious, I couldn't help but goad ya a bit. We call those who swear allegiance to Calamity Ganon the Yiga Clan. They... Well, let's just say they don't take kindly to those who would stand against Ganon. It seems they're active again, ever since that big earthquake the other day. But don't worry. I don't think you're part of that awful Yiga Clan. I can figure that much out just by lookin' at ya. Please don't hold it against me. Here, take this in exchange.

Fortified pumpkins are Kakariko Village's specialty. I put my heart and soul into every one of 'em. They're delicious. If you want more, I can give you some. Just stop by the fields and say hello.

Ha! You wanna buy a fortified pumpkin, don'tcha? Of course ya do! As it were, I'm heading to the fields right now... Mind waiting just a bit longer?

Did you enjoy that fortified pumpkin? Fortified pumpkins make you stronger. I ask the old lady to keep 'em cookin' so I can eat some every day.

Want some pumpkins?

[Cookin'?] Use a fortified pumpkin in your cooking to make a dish as firm as my abs. Food like that will increase your defense. Putting lots of fortified pumpkin in the dish is key. Go on—experiment a bit!

[Bye.] There's a hotheaded geezer who says, "The best defense is a good offense." Poppycock, I say! I firmly believe the best offense is a good defense.

My wife's fortified pumpkin dishes are the best. Way better than a barrel o' carrots, that's for sure!

My wife's tough dishes are made from fortified pumpkins. They're out of this world. There are A LOT of fortified pumpkins in that recipe, I tell ya what.

What are you doing out in the middle of the night? As for me, the first step to achieving great defense is training your legs. That's why I'm running at this hour. Training is the best way to learn the secret art of defense, after all.

[Secret art?] Long ago, a wise master known simply as the swordsman was enshrined—right in this village, no less. It is said that if you overcome his trial, you will master the secret art of defense. However, no one knows exactly what this "trial" entails... That is why I must stay vigilant with my training, so that I am ready whenever this trial presents itself to me!

[Bye.] There are savage old men out there who do nothing but prattle on about how the best defense is a good offense... But I know better. I believe that one who masters the art of defense is the strongest of all.

OH! Oh... It's you. Wh-what do you need?

[I saw that...] It seems...you caught me. I could never get along with Steen...no matter how I tried. Even when we'd go hunting together, I'd slowly crouch down to get close to our prey, but he'd just charge in yelling. "Offense is kiing!" That's what he'd bellow. Annoyed the tar outta me. Needless to say, our prey always ran... On top of that, he just refuses to sell my pumpkins in his shop! But... My, what have I done? I'm just so mortified... But being caught in the act makes me realize what I've become... As of today...I'll stop taking my anger out on the crops.

[I saw nothing...] Ha! Then I suppose all is well. However... I'm a tad busy right now. If ya need something, mind coming back later?

OH! Oh... You're still here, eh?

[I saw that...] You caught me again... I try to stop myself, but this grudge has grown over the years. It takes me over. No! The past is behind me! It really is... Still...I just can't stand the fact that he refuses to stock my pumpkins at his shop! But whatever the reason may be, I plain shouldn't be doing such things... I've come to my senses now that you've caught me again. Thank you. As of today...I'll stop taking my anger out on the crops.

You...you're still here? A lot happened today, but it's the perfect night to train and try to get my mind off the foolish things that distract it. Training is the best way to learn the secret art of defense, after all.

Who's there?

Sorry to interrupt, but... This plum garden is very special to my wife. Please be considerate of that.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! What happened to the plum trees?! This plum garden is very special to my wife. She's going to be awfully sad... They might just be plums to you, but to some people, they're little treasures. Don't you forget that!

Ha! That old geezer is as savage as ever. He's always running around yelling nonsense like, "The best defense is a good offense!"

Baaah! Hm?! Oh! It's you. No one's usually home, other than my wife. So, yeah... Don't scare me like that!


 * I'll protect you...my sweet wife...


 * Pumpkins are superior...

A blue pumpkin?!
