"Mipha says we don't strictly need all four Divine Beasts to defeat Ganon. It just makes my job harder."

Purah and Robbie's heads snap towards him in surprise.

"I'm really sorry."

Link shrugs. "I don't really remember them. Rudania was... strategically important." He doesn't sound convinced himself.

"And we can fix that. Right, right? No harm, no foul."

Robbie coughs. "The big lugs in Goron City will forget about it in a few years. Now, if you'd exploded Vah Ruta, the Zora would never let you hear the end of it!"

(Link looks a little disconcerted at the suggestion.)

"I'm not going to explode any more of them. Even if I see one aiming an active volcano at bewilderingly inhabited downslopes."

"...CHANGE OF SUBJECT! What do you mean, you can talk to Mipha's spirit?"

Link looks confused. "I told Purah."

"I thought you meant—she gave you a message, or a vision, not—that you can just call her ghost up for a chat any time you want! Cam, was Revali the same? Can we just go to a Divine Beast at any time to speak to the Champions!?"

"It's infested with the goop but yeah... oh heck, whose ghost did I explode."

"Daruk."

"Sorry."

"His spirit is released to the hereafter."

Robbie opens his mouth: "Did Mipha say that?"

"...No."

Robbie looks a lot like he wants to say something, but valiantly swallows it when Purah smacks him in the head.

Purah claps her hands. "So! Ah! Is Princess Zelda also the same, when you said she speaks to you? Can we carry a dialogue with her? If so, there's so many more people we need to be consulting! What an embarrassing oversight!"

Link has not failed to notice Robbie's expression. It takes a while for him to respond to the question.

"No, the Princess is... the first thing you said. She only sends messages."

"Are you sure? When she speaks to you, does it sound like she knows what you've been doing? What's going on in the outside world?"

Link has to think for a second.

"Some."

"If Cam makes giant words out of clouds, do you think she can read them?"

Shrug.

"Not to point out the obvious, but you would be broadcasting the conversation to all of Hyrule."
