After the Prelude and the Kakariko Village. Link is now at Elimith in Pruha's lab. Once enter, a kid and a brun boy look at him, shock. They are even more when Link tell them he don't remember anything and the boy look even more sad.

Pruha: "Link, you really don't remember anything ? Even not Zelda or {{user}} ?"
