Chapter 8: Bomb stop
Our heros decided to make a quick stop in east Clock Town to buy some supplies. In eastern Clock Town a group of construction workers were in the middle of building something. One of the counstruction workers was operating some kind of metal machine. the machine had a large shed like stucture with large treads. At the front a huge crane with a hook hanging on a metal chain at the end. The machine made a loud vrooming noise. The man inside pulled on some levers and the machine began to move.
"Okay that's enough!" said on of the workers.
"should i lower the hook down now?" asked the worker inside the machine.
"Yes!" shouted another worker.
The rope on the crane began to move down until the hook was dangling in from of a metal pipe like object. One of the constrction workers placed the pipe onto the hook. Link began to walk back slowly and into a shop. Inside a man with a bottole in his hand was standing behind the counter. May i help you? he asked.
"Um, yes iwould like a..." just before Link could finish some music began to play from a satange golden horn.
"what's a matter kid, you never seen a record player before?" asked the man.
"no" said Link.
"What kind of place did you come from?" asked the man.
"I come from a place were people don't use big metal machines to build houses and such." replied Link.
"What, a construction crane, kid you must have come from a place were people are still living in the dark ages or something." said the man.
"Look, can i just buy something?" said Link.
"Sure, what do you need?" asked the man
"Bombs." said Link.
The man broke out in laughter.
"Kid, the only place were you can get those is from the bomb shop and you need a license." said the man who was still laughing.
"where is it?" asked Link.
"West Clock Town, it's gotta a picture of a bomb on it. Ya can't miss it." said the man.
"Thanks!" said Link who was running out the door.
So Link was on his way to West Clock Town. He found the bomb shop.
Inside, was two huge shelves with different kinds of bombs including ones Link has never seen before.
A man was sitting a chair behind the desk. Another man was speaking to him.
"Look there mister but you can't use those bombs." said the man sitting in the chair.
"Why not?" asked the man in front of him.
"Those are for TDA use only and besides those are antiques from when i was in the TDA." said the man behind the desk.
"Well, you can kiss your 250 rupees goodbye!" said the man in front of him.
The man began to walk away.
Link walked up to the man behind the desk.
"Excuss me can i get a bomb license." said Link.
"Sure, you just have to come to the testing range out back." said the man.
And so our hero completed his test.
"Okay kid here's you license." said the man who was handing a small piece of paper.
Link put it in his pocket.
"So, kid do want to buy some bombs, we got regular, bug, and water or you could buy a new type of bomb i've invented called a grenade." said the man.
"Um, i would like to see this grenade thingy you've invented." said Link.
"Sure" said the man who was taking out somthing from a drawer in the desk.
The man had in his hand what looked like a small patatoe shaped bomb.
"You see, what you do is that you pull fuse and throw it and when it hits the ground, BOOM, it explodes." said the man.
"That's neat but i prefer some good old fashioned bombs." replied Link.
"Okay" said the man who gave Link a small bag of bombs.
"take care and if you want to buy some grenades i'll be happy to sell some." said the man.
"thanks" said Link who was heading out the door.
