Tomorrow, the world would be different. For Link had just completed the Brufeffef'Har Mar'Hguleff Shrine which got him another orb. He would take this orb to the statue and PRAY. Then, he would be stronger.

Link would complete a shrine, and then he would awaken the guy at the end of it. Then the guy would say things and then he would get an orb. It was exciting. Link enjoyed this. He hoped he could do this forever. And considering he had been doing it forever, he was pleased that nothing would change.

Now I just need to find a memory, thought Link. He had been trekking across the Grambbger Highlands for the better part of three weeks now, eating sticks and tossing stones and enjoying the scenery. That was the thing about Hyrule: it was a beautiful country if only he could remember it. He had lost his memory, YOU SEE? DO YOU UNDERSTAND? He could not remember anything, so Impa, the Taskmaster of Tasks, had tasked him with restoring his memories.

"Take this camera," she had said, pulling forth an old clicking thing, "and travel the land with it. Look through it, then press the button. Then hit R to view your stored memories. Cycle through them and see which ones you have. The blank tiles represent memories you have yet to remember. The way to remember them is to travel to the place where you had that memory. Easy! NO FURTHER QUESTIONS. GET OUT! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!!!"

Later, on top of the Hret Peaks, Link would reflect upon his life. He did not understand how things had gotten to this point. Something should have gone differently, but he wasn't sure what, and couldn't answer if asked. It was just one of those things. He got out a piece of meat and ate it.
