“Ah, hello Kaepora,” he trailed off. He thought going back in time and preventing Ganondorf from taking the Triforce was going to limit his contact with the annoying owl, but that was far from the truth. “I’m looking for a friend of mine and figured I might as well be comfortable while adventuring Hyrule.”

Kaepora stuck his head out and tilted it to the side. “Ho ho! I know. You’re little girlfriend has come up missing to you and you’re worried,” he chuckled, turning his head completely upside down.

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly. “Yeah, that’s right,” He knew that if he had seen her, the talkative bastard would have said so in some sort of riddle, but he figured it couldn’t hurt to ask. “Have you by any chance seen her around?”

Kaepora blinked twice and twisted his head upside down the other way. “Much like the tides on a sandy beach, the people of this kingdom come and go thr-”

“No? Oh, that’s too bad,” Link cut the knowledgeable owl off, unable and unwilling to hide the phoniness of his tone. “Well, looks like I have to keep searching. See you later Gaepora!”

Link walked away from the latter as quickly as possible and into Goron City before he could start back up.”
