"...No. We will need to retrieve some items to access the temples, however, so we can keep an eye out for candidates along the way. Ganon's curse blocks the entrances below and so we must use the ones above."

"Below and above what?"

"Above and below the ocean, I assume."

"Indeed." The king nods. "There are entrances down here, but Ganon's magic will prevent us from accessing them. I could try to explain why he can do that here but not above, but it would probably take hours."

"We can skip that, then."

"...I suppose we should go, then. Once again, I'm sorry."

"It's not really your fault."

"I'll feel guilty no matter what you say, in all likelihood. I've been trapped in time at the moment of my kingdom's greatest disaster for at least five hundred years. And I made it worse by- By treating your journey as a sort of game. A harmless adventure. I'm... Done being anything but serious, now."

"All right. I'll get going. Are you going to be okay here, Tetra?"

"I saw food stores on the way in... And the monsters are all gone from the hall. And I have the King here to show me some real actual magic for once. I'll be fine."

"Okay."

Back to the boat with her.

The gossip stone talks at her in Zelda's voice. "And don't forget about this!"

"Let us return." Her boat is now a sad boat. "I know where we need to visit first."

"Okay." She can set sail and steer as directed.

Then, "We will need to get Cyclos's blessing. I have spoken with Zephos - if you defeat him in combat he will probably give it. Your bow should prove more effective than the bombs did. We can search for another way if you don't want to try it, though."

"I'm fine with using the bow."

"Then let us charge recklessly at storms, instead of sailing around them. There are more fairy fountains to visit. They might be helping, and we can look for storms along the way. It's not like there's a storm island."

"Sounds like a good idea."

Red Lions guides her to a fairy fountain (giant shell sitting upright on an otherwise unremarkable island) to get another luck blessing. The great fairy there barely acknowledges her presence and offers a blessing to 'the Hero of Time'. Which she is not.

If Tetra can be Zelda, surely Anna can be the Hero of Time.

Then she will accumulate another Fairy Blessing, for however much that's worth.

On the way to the next Fountain they meet Cyclos!

All right, bow and arrow time, here we go.

He dodges. And a few monsters show up to distract her. Typical.

She didn't really expect it to be that easy, but she was kind of hoping.

Well, eventually Cyclos can be defeated. For a value of 'defeated' that includes him stopping the cyclone, descending, and declaring her 'interesting'.

"And I see you have the Wind Waker. Wanna learn how to make your own cyclones, kid?"

"Yeah!!"

So the wind god teaches her a song.
