C: Vaati’s dead. As is Ganon. The noble protectors of the Dark World were slain long before we came into existence. Though I’m sure they were truly powerful people.

I: Our Hylian counterparts are a mystery to us! The only thing we know is that they killed Ganon and Vaati and plunged the Dark World into ruin. Well... that’s what Boss has told us at least.

I do wonder what they’re like....I can’t Imagine they’re very good people to screw over our whole world like that....

F: The original Shadow Link went against everything. His higher ups. His home. His very nature. By all accounts he was a traitor to the Dark World.

Before we left the castle Boss told us that, while we are technically a reincarnation of him, separate parts of his whole, we mustn’t follow his path. We mustn’t allow what’s left of him to corrupt us

“Well you see, we’re kinda new here ourselves, considering we only were summoned into existence about an hour ago... We don’t even really have names yet...”

“Names?? What the hell are you talking about? I’m Shadow! You’re Shadow! All of us are Shadows. We are nothing more than that.”

“Of course you would say that, Pipsqueak.”

“WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!”

“While you fools were busy blabbing about the woods, I already sorted our little naming fiasco. Now let’s see here....Purple, you’re Stitches. Green over there is Droopy. Red, you’re Pipsqueak of course. And I’M Stripes!”

“D-...Droopy??”

“Because of your hat see?”

“Yeah those names are shit if I’ll be honest.”

*shrug* “Everybody’s a critic.”

“Well...our Light World counterparts are named after their colors, are they not? Perhaps we could do something similar?”

“You really wanna associate us with those FREAKS?!”

“You said it yourself, we’re already their shadows. Besides, Blue Shadow has a point. If we just refer to ourselves as “Shadow” it’s gonna get reeeeeal confusing real fast.”

*Crim says nothing but crosses his arms and grumbles*

“Colors....darker colors?...I guess that would make Red Shadow....Crimson Shadow? Yeah! Crimson like blood.”

*Crim seems to perk up a bit at that*

“Ooo! Ooo! What am I?!”

“You’re....Indigo. But that’s a mouthful. Maybe we should shorten that.”

*Indie smiles gleefully*

“What say you...Navy?”

“My names are clearly superior but I suppose Navy will do.”

“Then I guess that makes me...hmmm...Forest?”

*gasp* “You guys!! We have names!”

“It’s not a big deal!”

“It’s a HUGE deal!”

They were to head to the ruins of The Fire Temple, the last known place of the Dark Mirror. Perhaps that would lead them to more clues on entering the Light World. Or better yet, they could potentially find remnants of the original Dark Mirror still in tact, which could prove very useful to Boss.

There’s only one problem though.

Between them and The Fire Temple lies a massive stretch of forest, known as the Forgotten Woods. The whole area is roaming with beasts, secrets and a bunch of peculiar folk. It’ll take weeks, maybe even months to get to The Fire Temple by foot, but unfortunately from Boss’ remote location that is their only option.
