[In the aftermath of the tournament, and the revelation of what may lie within Mictlan, Zelda has a question about the mission Philemon gives each Visitor when they arrive.]

What do you think "protect the city" means?

[A frown tugs at her lips at that "hit your head" comment, and once again, though this time more definitively, she shakes her head no.]

Ganondorf running around anywhere would be impossible, considering the Hero of Time, the Sages, and I sealed him away. And I can assure you that in no way did I concuss myself into believing such.

The only explanation I can think of, despite all reason saying otherwise, is that I am not the Princess Zelda you know.

And you should thank your lucky stars you're not, if that's really what's goin' on here. Things didn't go so well for Hyrule back home.

[He shakes his head for a moment before smiling back at her. His gaze is heavy with the horrors he's seen in his time.]

I'll tell ya this, though: if you're the same one, and that stuff just hasn't happened to you yet, do yourself a favor and keep Hyrule's currency just the way it is. Back home, greed destroyed Hyrule in a way Ganondorf never could, and a hell of a lot faster too.

[She doesn't smile back, too confused by his words. Trust is not something that comes easy to her, and his crudeness certainly doesn't help matters. ... But there's a strange, dirtied sense of honor about him, which makes her nod at his advice.]

... I see. Even under his reign, the rupee system still worked fine, so I see no reason to change it now. ... I will keep your words in mind for the future.

[Seemingly satisfied with that, he closes his eyes and heaves a sigh, shaking his head.]

...Sorry 'bout all that. This's all plenty odd for me too. Can't say I'm not grateful for the surprise one-up, but I wonder just what we're all here to do. I know from experience - protectin' the city means a lot of different things, dependin' on who you talk to.
