the promise in OoT?

One day i was aimlessly wondering around the internet and came across a zelda site, in it's Ocarina of Time section they say that nabarou (or however you spell it, the sage of spirit) offers Link sex in return for the sliver gauntlets.
The first thing i thought was this is crappy, obviously, someone liked her to much and started putting there brain to come to weird conclusions. Today i was watching my cousin play Ocarina of Time and he was at the spririt temple, when he talks to her she simply says something like "Get them for me.... and i will do something great for you!" i saw where this person got that from, it is a little odd, but it gets odder. After the temple when she is talking to you in the Chamber of Sages, she says she cant keep the promise she made you because she is a sage, she then commits a lot on how handsome you have become. The Last thing she says is "If i knew you would have become so handsome , i would have kept my promise!" or something to that effect. I was a little dumbfounded, it definitly sounds like she is offering him something a little non-E rated. If you dont belive me go back and look for yourself, does anyone have any ideals to exactly what her 'promise' is, i dont think nintendo would let something like that slip into the game, but then agian those great fairys arnt wearing much to cover up ......

Re: the promise in OoT?

The get for me and I will do something great for you is standard, why else would you get them and hten return them to her? She can't keep her promise, either because being a Sage limits the stuff she can do for normal Humans, or becuase she never intended to giv e Link anything, it was an easy excuse to not have to give Link anything and it wouldn't be un-sage like to lie, most people with powers in stories don't tell the truth unless they have to. I would like an exact quote of the handsome line, otherwise I cannot comment on it, I have completely forgotten what it is she says so a quote would be apreciated.

Re: the promise in OoT?

It's quite obvious Nintendo is hinting at innuendo. As a child, she was obviously joking with Link, but with him as an adult, she most likely decided that it wasn't such a terrible idea after all.

Re: the promise in OoT?

I seriously doubt that she would offer him sex, it is a Nintendo game after all, but everything that Cold said Nabooru said is pretty close to what she did say. I mean Link was just a 10 year old kid, but then again Rydia was only 7 and Edge had a crush on her (he's like 20 some year old). Still though I am not sure what she offered him, but I find it rather odd in her offering him that. Maybe she offered him to be her queen and rule over the gerudos if she would help him get the guantlets, so that she could upsur Ganondorf herself. I mean that was her intentions, and after finding out what a handsome man he became (in her eyes) then maybe she regretted in not keeping her promise.

Searano does it again, and there's nothing left to talk about.

From memory, I believe the quote is
After Nabooru tells Link to get the gauntlets:
Quote:
I'll do something great for you
After Link receives the medallion:
Quote:
If only I knew what a handsome young man you would become.....I should have kept the promise I made...

Re: the promise in OoT?

my god ! That's disgusting. Well I dunno if nintendo had that in mind... You know, it is posible that Nabooru was 'tempting' him in some way, but CMON! Link was 10!! lol She'd be, like, a pedefile!

How did OoT get an "E" rating?
Actually, I think she didn't mean anything when she said the first quote. She was probably like "Be a good boy and you'll get a reward!" just to convince him. Then in the Chamber of Sages she probably thought back on her empty promise...again we don't really know what she had in mind...

Re: the promise in OoT?

Yes hylian dan, that is it, thank you, you saved me the trouble of doing the game over agian. I do think nintendo ment to put that across, how the game got an E rating is beyond me, not just for that but, the great fairys are practicly naked, there is a lot of blood, and I think that nintendo snuck in some sexual stuff but hid it well, i was starting to get back to the spirit temple for the quote, and now of course i was thinking about that and noticed some things, like when Impa teaches link your first song, link isnt looking at her face..... this wouldnt be so surprising nintendo wouldnt be the first E rating thing to sneak sexual stuff in there, look at disney, loaded with sibliminal messages that are full with sex. Im sure nintendo would denie it, but come on.... just pay attention to some things in the game, its ful of "suggestive" themes.

Re: the promise in OoT?

I think all Naburoo meant was, that once Link got the Silver Gaunlets, that she was going to pat him on the head and say what a good boy he was and shoo him away. (To me, she was acting like an older sibling to Link, i mean, doesn't she go: "Be a good boy." before she sends him off to get the gaunlets?)

The people who gave The Little Mermaid a "G" obviously missed a certain shot. My friend told me about that, if you know what I'm talking about...

Good thing you didn't go through it all again; I just realized that out of my 12 OoT files, several were saved just before Twinrova.
So, without further ado, here it is in full, Nabooru's speech in the Chamber of Sages:
Quote:

Heheheh...look what the little kid has become in the past seven years--a competent swordsman!
By the way...
I really messed up...
I was brainwashed by those old witches and used by Ganondorf to do his evil will...
But isn't it funny? That a person like me could turn out to be the Sage of Spirit!
And now, I'm going to fight them as one of the Six Sages! Heh heh...
I'm going to pay them back for what they did to me!
Kid...
No...Link the Hero of Time!
Instead of keeping the promise I made back then, I give you this Medallion!
Take it!

If only I knew you would become such a handsome man...
I should have kept the promise I made back then...

Re: the promise in OoT?

well it really depends on your mindset. i mean i never noticed that before, but its definitely a valid assumption of her meaning

Re: the promise in OoT?

you have to think about it really, she could have meant a gift or something, wen your alittle kid, you think 'if i do this, she'll gibve me something! yay!' your 10 (or 12,) you don't exactly think sex first, although link being 17, (or 19,) he may have. nabooru had the whole temptress thing going on about her, that most liekly got most of your minds going allready. It would have been different if you had someone like... saria tellingt Link that, or Zelda, or some other woman, but ebcouse of nabooru's sexual temptress look, people get the asumption of sex. The translation of the Japanese tect may have changed slightly as well, who knows, maybe, in the japanes version, before nintendo "americanized' the game and wattered it down slightly for our audiances and traditional Zelda E rating, could, possibly, had a sexual ettention. When you think about it, the game has loads and loads of text to translate, and i know that some parts did not translate well, and this may have been one of them as well. Also, fun fact that rarely anyone knows, the Queanns of farries around the world in OoT look extremly different in the american version. They actually made them look worse for us americans, for the japanese versions looked like blue angels, very majestic looking bings. Us Americans recived the skimpy temptress looking ones. So, you can't say exactly much at all, besids that we americans got the bad part in that trade off.

Is that what you meant about the Fairies? Even in the Beta screen they look better than the Fairies we've seen.

And I believe Nabooru didn't mean anything when Link first spoke with her as a child. The promise Nabooru made was empty; she just wanted to convince the kid to get the gauntlets for her. When Link was an adult, what she said about the promise is completely up for interpretation.
