"Zahn met one of them near here. He seemed nice, though the story he told didn't make much sense. He said they're led by someone named Master Kohga. I don't know if that's important. He also said they want to free Ganon I'm not sure if there's anything they could do to make that more likely though."

"Knowing who their boss is is only kinda helpful, yeah. I still have to deal with them. Freeing Ganon... Why, people? He wants to kill you all!"

"People believe all sorts of strange things. The way they tell the story Ganon is good."

"Well, all he's done that I can see is make monsters kill people and kill people himself."

"We didn't get an explanation of why they believe in his benevolence. We probably should have asked but the way the story was framed it sounds like an excuse. Supposedly, he's always trying to do good but never gets to before he's stopped."

"Tch. What do you expect from a bunch of banana-obsessed bandits and murderers."

"Banana-obsessed?"

"Yeah."

"Weird, the one we talked to didn't mention banana's at all."

"Next time you see one, casually mention them. See what happens." She seems to find this idea very amusing.

"I'll keep the option in mind." She chuckles a bit.

On they walk. Link talks about melee weapons and their various advantages and disadvantages compared to each other.

Alice listens with interest. "I don't tend to work with larger melee weapons just because there's only so much I can carry, also Zahn doesn't like being too visibly threatening. Your slate must make it really convenient to carry more variety."

"It really is. Sometimes you just need a really big sword. Freaking chu-chus are really hard to deal with unless you have a lot of reach. Spears are best for them. Moblins are so big they're unwieldy. Short swords and staying under them can work pretty well - you can use a shield too."

She can ramble on about monster fighting until they get to the Flight Range.

She'll ask some clarifying questions but she doesn't interrupt. It's useful advice.

"...Really the worst are the Guardians, but I already told you about those. Lynels are even more annoying than Bokoblin horse archers, they are the horse, you can't knock them off it. Plus, they tend to have lots of magic ammo. I usually just run. Oh, looks like we're here."

Up ahead is a small treehouse, and to the left is a deep sinkhole-like structure with roaring winds creating extreme updrafts.

There's a Rito fiddling with a bow on the treehouse balcony. "Heeeey! I'm looking for Teba!"

The Rito glances at her, then waves vaguely before turning back to his bow. "Guess that means 'come closer'?"

"Even if it doesn't it's usually easier to talk to someone when you're closer to them."

The approach. The Rito nods at them and with a gruff voice says, "I'm Teba. But I don't know you two, and I'm actually pretty busy. You need something?"

"...Your help. To take back control of Divine Beast Vah Medoh."

"Let me get this straight. Some random Hylian and a pale Gerudo just show up and want to bring down Vah Medoh? I'm not buying it. There's no way you two really think you can fight an ancient beast that flies, without your own wings."

Alice blinks behind him. "Don't judge so quickly by appearances."

Teba whirls around and grabs at his bowstring, only to realize that it's currently unstrung. "...What's your names, anyway?"

"I'm Link," says Link, trying not to look amused.

"Alice."

"And I'm Teba, as I'm sure you know. But look, you two seem alright, but there's only one way I'm going back to Rito Village - when Divine Beast Vah Medoh is out of the sky." He raises one eyebrow sarcastically. "You two think you can help?"

"I have this device, a Sheikah Slate," Link replies. "The Elder says it can take control of the Divine Beasts. I've heard the same thing elsewhere too."

"Hmph. I could take you two up there with me if you want to try that. But we'll need to dodge the cannon fire and take out the defense field. You up for showing me that you can handle it with some target practice?"

"Sounds like a good time!"

Teba stands up and motions to the cavern with roaring winds behind him. "I'll send up a bunch of targets. Hit them all and I'll acknowledge that you two would have a chance against Vah Medoh."

"Works for me."

"Don't expect me to go easy on you."

He dives into the chasm. 

Paper targets with bulls-eyes painted on flutter up one after another. Link starts sending arrows into them - hitting about half.

"Should I help?"
