"Well, I'm going to sound stupid or narcissistic or insane if I explain."

"I'm sure some would think me insane if I told my life story too."

"Hah. Okay, so... I woke up on top of the great plateau - the one nobody can get to, yes - in a place called 'Shrine of Resurrection'. And then some things happened and the ghost of a king explained how I'm the hero of legend and have to go turn the four Divine Beasts back from Ganon's control and regain my memories and find the Master Sword and then seal Ganon again."

zabna blinks. "Well that's an interesting coincidence. I was planning to look into the issue of the Divine Beasts myself."

"Don't think you'll get far without this." She waves a small rectangular magic magic thing that was on her belt. "I got it fixed over at Hateno and now it'll talk to Sheikah stuff! Pretty cool."

"Ah, that would make things easier, I'm not a senior explorer so I don't have the ability to modify magical magic artifacts. I wasn't sure if just interfacing with the technical components would be enough."

"Yeah, I don't know about tech. The slate has been enough for what I needed so far though so I'm hopeful."

"That's good, do you have a plan for getting up to the flying beast? Apparently it has some sort of advanced weapons system. I was planning to find a guardian to test with but I haven't yet."

"Augh. Don't! Go! Near! Guardians! A half-broken one that couldn't move nearly killed me five times over! ...I was hoping someone in Rito Village could help me get up there. I haven't found the other three yet, but this guy was obvious from how he's flying around and stuff."

"I have some abilities that might let me fight them and will almost certainly keep me safe. If we need a way to handle those weapons testing with a half-broken one would be a good start."

"Oh... Too bad, I killed it eventually. There are probably more over near Fort Hateno, but that's like all the way on the other side of Hyrule from here."

"Hm, I'll walk back to the Rito village with you for the moment. If it turns out there isn't a trick we can go looking for a Guardian then."

"I know where to find Guardians, just not already-half-dead ones. And how do I know you're not actually part of the Yiga Clan or something?"

"I suppose you don't, although I doubt they can do this."  A trio of silvery spheres appear hanging in the air for a few seconds before vanishing.

"...Fair enough." But she'll be watching him. "Anyway, I'm pretty sure my name's Link. Nice to meet you."

"Oh right, I never introduced myself. zabna tsani, I'm an explorer working for the Starlight Institute and its Edge of Eternity project. I'm from a very very long way away."

"...That even in Hyrule? You look a bit like the Gerudo, except lighter skin."

"I'm from another world entirely. One where no one has ever heard of Hyrule."

"...Huh. Well. I guess it's not too weird for that. There's at least one other world we know about already, the ones spirits and gods inhabit."

"Interesting, I'm pretty sure I'm not from that one."

She snickers. "Yeah. Ooh, I got to see Din up close once if you don't believe me. Here..." She shows it on the Sheikah Slate. "Isn't this 'camera' thing so cooool?"

"I have cameras of my own, that's a nice picture."

"I guess cameras are a natural feature of tech. What else can yours do?"

"Well we have to use magic for the first trip to a new world but after that our technology can let people travel back and forth. We have the ability to fly higher than any bird or rito ever could, where the air is too thin to breathe. We can talk with someone across the world in an instant. The list of things we can do is pretty long. Those little bubbles were pockets of frozen time."

"This thing can do frozen time. Sorta. Flying like that sounds cool. And it'll teleport me to specific places - but only me, I tried it on others."
