Between the two it seems Romani is protecting this place better than Cremia.

He?s a unique enemy that steals your shit when he touches you. He?ll immediately fly off to the thrift shop which implies that shopkeeper makes trades with birds. He?s risky to fight? but the priiiize. A 200 rupee, he?s worth farming once you can actually kill him efficiently.

This time though the little shit stole a bottle from me. Sometimes it?ll be a shield, he?ll even steal your sword. But don?t worry, when you rewind time you get your stuff back. Or you can buy it back if you?re a chump.

This is a rarity in the game, we get a chance to simply listen to a character express how they feel. I developed a lot of sympathy for Cremia after first seeing this scene.

?I have a friend who runs the inn in Clock town named Anju.?

When she mentions the wedding, it?s implied she?s not very excited about it. Add in what Anju?s mother said and it?s pretty clear Cremia secretly loves Kafei who instead loves her best friend. Cremia has it pretty rough in this world. There?s something else I should mention about Romani Ranch; all of this is entirely optional. Seriously, once you get Epona you can turn your back on this place and give their milking business the finger.
But that doesn?t feel right does it? The ranch is an optional ?breather? area, where you can take a break from saving a race from extinction and remember there are more than just the land that?s in danger. It?s people. People with hopes and dreams, loves both fulfilled and unfulfilled. People who are just trying to live their lives as best they can. They don?t have any control over events like this, but we can do something about it.

This mission was rather difficult to do when I was young because I didn?t figure out that the arrows are infinite and so long as you hit the rider that?s attacking they can?t get anywhere close. So basically just spam arrows and you can get through with all three, but you just need to save at least one.

I found this scene rather touching, especially after that chat we had earlier. Cremia may be the nicest character in this world, and she and her business are constantly being shat on. However, if you do this mission again what does she give you instead of the mask? Well?

We?re not quite done with Cremia and Romani though. Oh sure there are no more missions, but there?s a final conversation you can listen to that caps off this personal plotline.
Between the two it seems Romani is protecting this place better than Cremia.
Now it?s time to pick up our sword.
But when we ask to get another upgrade?
Check out this bling.
Top quality gold? If the gold is pure is there even a difference?
Funny that, I wonder how on earth you?ll recoup your losses.
Almost there my sweet, this step is absolutely essential to make sure we don?t get our asses kicked later in the game.
But then, frog.
Because frog.
Hmm, awkward frog.
Or any in fact.
We?ve found all but one frog, it?ll be a while before we see him.
While I waited I decided to try and kill this asshole.
He?s a unique enemy that steals your shit when he touches you. He?ll immediately fly off to the thrift shop which implies that shopkeeper makes trades with birds. He?s risky to fight? but the priiiize. A 200 rupee, he?s worth farming once you can actually kill him efficiently.
This time though the little shit stole a bottle from me. Sometimes it?ll be a shield, he?ll even steal your sword. But don?t worry, when you rewind time you get your stuff back. Or you can buy it back if you?re a chump.
So instead let?s go bother these assholes.
Funny you say that, I recently got one.
Even has its own theme music.
What?d you punks just say about Epona?
Would it be your dignity? Because I totally want to take it away from you.
Race #2 for this update, this one is thankfully not as difficult but still just as frustrating.
Mostly because these assholes cheap more than we do, it?s only okay when the Hero of Time cheats.
God fucking damnit.
Just keep going until you win, just keep going until you win.
Had to collect more money, rolling around Termina Field is such a joy.
Boom!
A ninja mask eh? Think these guys might actually be ninjas in disguise? Only a ninja would willingly look as stupid as these two to avoid attention.
Mmmm feels good man.
Despite being comically oversized, you actually need this mask to finish the game. That?s right, you only beat this game by humiliating these assholes.
Top of the evening, ma?am.
Err, could you stop running over my horse please?
Cremia? my horse?
Oh phew, Epona is functionally indestructible.
This is a rarity in the game, we get a chance to simply listen to a character express how they feel. I developed a lot of sympathy for Cremia after first seeing this scene.
?I have a friend who runs the inn in Clock town named Anju.?
When she mentions the wedding, it?s implied she?s not very excited about it. Add in what Anju?s mother said and it?s pretty clear Cremia secretly loves Kafei who instead loves her best friend. Cremia has it pretty rough in this world. There?s something else I should mention about Romani Ranch; all of this is entirely optional. Seriously, once you get Epona you can turn your back on this place and give their milking business the finger.
But that doesn?t feel right does it? The ranch is an optional ?breather? area, where you can take a break from saving a race from extinction and remember there are more than just the land that?s in danger. It?s people. People with hopes and dreams, loves both fulfilled and unfulfilled. People who are just trying to live their lives as best they can. They don?t have any control over events like this, but we can do something about it.
Link?s way ahead of you.
Oh snap, might need a red potion for that burn.
You know, just in case, I seriously doubt it?d actually happen and this is all a big coincidence.
I get the feeling milk in Termina is like alcohol during the prohibition years. Which makes more sense once we actually enter the milk bar.
Gee wiz gang, who might these masked ghouls possibly be? Scooby do you have any ideas?
I won no benny. Yoinks! Look out gang!
?Okay I?ll stop, but seriously if you can?t figure out what?s going on, then clearly you were me when this game came out? what?s that look for?
This mission was rather difficult to do when I was young because I didn?t figure out that the arrows are infinite and so long as you hit the rider that?s attacking they can?t get anywhere close. So basically just spam arrows and you can get through with all three, but you just need to save at least one.
Amusingly enough you can still fire arrows when this cutscene happens.
Even got a hit in, can you blame me? They?re even wearing the mask that they gave me, how more obvious could you get?
Finally, someone noticed.
Thoughts out of the gutter Ben, out of the gutter.
I found this scene rather touching, especially after that chat we had earlier. Cremia may be the nicest character in this world, and she and her business are constantly being shat on. However, if you do this mission again what does she give you instead of the mask? Well?
Let?s just say it?s something you could get used to.
We?re not quite done with Cremia and Romani though. Oh sure there are no more missions, but there?s a final conversation you can listen to that caps off this personal plotline.
