From Create Your Own Story
You turn away from the chances of...something with the princess and hurry to the boy's location. You arrive to find him surrounded by bulbkins. You make quick work of the small band and sheathe your sword...killing them took shorter than you expected, you might actually be able to make it in a decent time. Then the kid spoke.
"Gee, thanks, Mr. Swordsman. I don't suppose you could help me get home safe, could you? Please?"
Okay, taking the kid home would definitely make you later than Zelda wants...but he IS a kid. Decisions, decisions...
