TextDump:Tri Force Heroes

This is an unofficial and incomplete text dump and should be replaced by an official one once it becomes available.

Hey, you! Listen up, and I’ll tell you how our story begins…

Once upon a time there was a kingdom called Hytopia. At the heart of this fashion-obsessed land was the lovely Princess Styla.

The people adored their fair princess… but the Drablands witch despised the girl’s unbearably cute fashion sense.

One fateful day, a beautifully wrapped gift arrived at the castle.

The sender was unknown, and the box was brimming with an aura of mystery. The princess simply had to open it! Naturally, this was a HUGE mistake.

When the smoke cleared, Styla was met with a terrible sight, followed by the witch’s voice in her pretty head: “A perfect outfit for a perfect princess.”

This cursed outfit of ultimate ugliness could not be removed no matter how the princess tried. Humiliated, she fell into misery and isolation. The people of Hytopia wept for her terrible fate.

The king, too, was in agony. As only chosen heroes may enter the witch’s domain, the despicable Drablands, King Tuft issued a call to kingdoms near and far for a hero to save the day.

Luckily, it wasn’t long before this courageous young fella came passing through…

WANTED: TRI FORCE HEROES!!

Do you have pointy ears, truly epic sideburns, and side-parted hair? If so, YOU may be a Tri Force Hero!

Our kingdom needs such heroes to defeat the evil witch and lift the curse placed on Princess Styla.

Whoever succeeds in this most noble of tasks will be rewarded to the fullest extent of my extensive power.

So sayeth King Tuft, ruler of Hytopia!

YOU!!

You must be…the hero! The one fated to save our dear Princess Styla!

>It is I! >You’re mistaken…

Huh?

Oh! I get it. That’s a little joke. How cool and spicy of you!

Those ears are a dead giveaway… So positively pointy!

I must say, they’re rather chic!

I work over at Madame Couture’s clothing shop. Madame’s outfits are famous for their magical properties.

Princess Styla used to be her biggest fan until…you know. Poor lass.

Heroes like you are our only hope now.

Speaking of fashion curses… May I speak plainly?

It’s your outfit. It’s a bit… Well… You know what I’m getting at, right?

>Isn’t it adorbs? >What’s wrong?

Riiight. It’s very, erm…different. Yeah. Different.

Say, why not try on something new? You know, just for kicks!

You should stop by Madame Couture’s. You can’t miss it! It’s the big, purple building in the middle of town.

Er, sorry! It’s just…we don’t usually see designs like that around here. Not to say it’s wildly unstylish, but…

Hey, why don’t you stop by Madame Couture’s? You can’t miss it! It’s the purple building in the middle of town.

Come to think of it, I should head back about now. I’ve been gone a tad too long. Madame is NOT gonna be happy!

We’re all counting on you to save Princess Styla! No pressure!

What is THAT?!

This is Madame Couture’s, where only the most stylish of the stylish gather!

Oh, Madame! This is the guy I was telling you about. It’s him!

It’s the hero!!

HM? Speak up, dahling.

Hm? You’re saying this style delinquent is a hero of sorts?

Well, I admit, his clothes are a little… Yick. But look closer, Madame! Check out those stylish pointy ears!

He MUST be the hero we’ve been waiting for to save the princess!

Hmph! Ears can’t be stylish, my pet. His are fake anyway. He no doubt uses them for le “cosplaying.”

Er, sorry about that. To be honest, lots of would-be heroes have come and gone. Madame has lost faith.

Not a single one of those phonies has even come close to defeating that awful witch.

Not only is poor Princess Styla cursed, but we’ve stopped receiving clothing orders from the castle altogether.

There’s also a rumor going around that being stylish will get you cursed, so business is at an all-time low.

Needless to say, Madame is in a bad mood…

Thanks to this curse nonsense, no one is buying my clothes. Even now, only one customer in le dressing room…

It’s unheard of, my dahlings!

Don’t let her attitude fool you. She’s amazing at her craft! Incomparable, as it were.

If you provide quality materials and a fair amount of Rupees, she’ll make you the nicest outfits you’ve ever seen.

The long and short of it is that something MUST be done to save the princess from her curse!

If this…style newcomer is truly the hero fated to defeat the witch, I shall cooperate in any way I can.

So, do you pretty much get the gist of what’s going down in Hytopia?

>Pretty much. >Sorry, come again?

To start, you’ll need to go see Sir Combsly. He’s the commanding officer in charge of the witch hunt.

He’s always looking for potential recruits, but be forewarned… I hear he’s rather intense.

Oh, look at the time! I must be going.

FYI, I also serve as a fashion advisor at the castle. I’m like a traveling salesman for Madame Couture!

Seeya later!

Hey! Didja know? Didja?!

Ma says a Street Merchant is comin' to town! Mimi's gonna be first in line, teehee!

Hey! Any idea what a Street Merchant is? Tell me, tell me!

It's a broken, forgotten doll.

Hmm... It kinda looks like YOU!

You gently wipe away the dust.

EEP! This room is occupied! OCC-U-PIED!!

What is fashion's name are you doing, my misguided dahling?! That door leads to le fitting room!

That haven of style is reserved for the high-class patrons who purchase my apparel. Do NOT disturb them!

Now shoo, dahling! SHOO!

Hm? Oh! What's this? What is THIS?!

Ears fit to pierce the heavens! An impeccable side parting!

And the universal symbol of heroism... magnificent sideburns!

I say, my boy, you are the spitting image of a Tri Force Hero!

Now then. Have you some business with the Bearded Baron?

>Tri Force Heroes? >About this town... >About Madame... >Never mind.

Hm? I see, I see. It's only natural to be curious about the legend of the Tri Force heroes, my boy.

Their tales have been passed down through the ages in our fair Hytopia.

When the kingdom of Hytopia falls into despair, three courageous heroes shall ever arrive to save the day...

This statue is in recognition of their struggles and triumphs, both past and future.

Three heroes working together to save the day... In a way, this here statue represents love!

Hm... This statue certainly looks quite a lot like you, wouldn't you say?

The princess of our kingdom, Styla, used to be the fairest, most stylish creature in all the land.

But the witch of the Drablands cursed her, and now she's... Oh, it's simply unspeakable!

Ever since, all of Hytopia lives in fear of the curse. They're all resisting their fashion urges. It's not healthy, I say!

I, for one, cannot live that way! That's why I've cut my stylishness in half. It's the most I can do.

Hm? What's this? What is THIS? A young lad already in search of Madame's high fashion? Good show!

Madame Couture’s shop is over there, my boy.

Madame Couture’s is a top-class store. Even the royal family goes there for their royal clothing needs!

This outfit is the work of Madame, as well. She doesn't know I've cut it in half yet... *gulp*

The curse is horrifying, so all beardly fashion is half off! I'm not cold at all. Not a bit!

I have no doubt the hero will arrive once more, just like in the legends.
