The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

• "Gee, this is uplifting... She's making it sound like we already lost."
• "Yeah! I think I'm finally getting the hang of controlling this Divine Beast! I tell you what...sure is a blast piloting a toy like this around. Let those other Champions know, they better eat their gravel if they wanna keep up with Daruk. Speaking of which, can you believe this view? Just look at all those delectable rocks sprinkled on those mountains... Mighty tasty. I may not know a whole lot about this Calamity Ganon thing... but mark my words, I'll protect this land of ours to the death! Right, little guy?"
• "Hey, by the way...congrats on becoming the princess's appointed knight. That's a really big deal! Protecting the king's daughter... No pressure! Seriously, though. The princess is a strong personality—so strong she can't quite see the range for the peaks. Remember that, and you'll be fine."
• "All right, so what was I saying... That was a little strange... As far as I know, Death Mountain has been quiet for decades. But if the mountain is shivering enough to send down a bunch of boulders that size, then— Never mind. Forget I said anything."
• "Well? Don't keep us in suspense. How'd everything go up there on the mountain?"
• "This is it, then..."
• "Let's stop wasting time! We're gonna need everything we got to take that thing down! Now Champions! To your Divine Beasts! Show that swirling swine who's boss! Link will need to meet Ganon head on when we attack! This needs to be a unified assault! Little guy! You get to Hyrule Castle! You can count on us for support. But it's up to you to pound Ganon into oblivion!"

Divine Beast Vah Rudania

• "Hey, little guy! Long time no see. I always knew you'd come back. Y'know, I never stopped believing in you! You're here to take control of ol' Rudania back from Ganon, eh? You're gonna need a map that shows the guts of this place. You can grab the info from the Guidance Stone over there. Now get a move on!"
• "Nice job getting the map of the Divine Beast! The terminals that control Rudania are noted by the glowing points on your map. To take back Rudania, you'll need to activate all of the terminals. You got this, little guy!"
• "There are four terminals remaining! That's the way!"
• "There are three terminals remaining! All right, let's get movin'!"
• "There are two terminals remaining! Just a little more!"
• "Just one terminal remaining! Just one more!"
• "Nice! That was the last terminal! Now go ahead and start up the main control unit! There should be a new glowing mark on your map. You're gonna need to make your way over to that. Stay focused, little guy!"
• "Watch yourself now! That ugly pain in the crag is Ganon's handiwork. Thing got the best of me a hundred years ago. Good luck, little guy! Go get 'im!"
• "Watch out for that sword!"
• "Now's your chance!"
• "Lay it on, little guy!"
• "Go for it!"
• "Good one, little guy!"
• "That flaming ball is dangerous."
• "Stay on it!"
• "You OK, there?"
• "Nice!"
• "Great work, little guy!"
• "I owe you big for this. Because of you, my spirit is finally free. Can't thank you enough! I feel like I should apologize. I was doing all I could to protect Hyrule when that thing got the best of me. Sorry, that me resting with the rubble caused such a mess. The good news is, Rudania is now back under our control! That means that our century-old Ganon beat-down plan can finally go into effect! I'm gonna take this down the mountain. I'll have a better shot at Ganon there. And then, once you've made your way into Hyrule Castle, we're gonna light that thing up! I want to give you something. It's a special power of mine called Daruk's Protection. It's no good to me now that I'm a spirit... but it might be useful for you."
• "From this moment forth, the power of protection, from the depths of my soul, now lives inside you. Good luck, little guy! And give my regards to the princess."
• "Well, that oughta do it! We're set here, now we just gotta wait for the perfect shot. Once Link is in the castle, Rudania will unleash an epic blast. Ganon won't know what hit 'im! Hyrule looks pretty good from up here... even after a hundred years. The ol' rolling grounds sure are a sight for sore eyes. I wonder how the Gorons fared after the Great Calamity. I sure hope everyone down there is still going strong after every—"
• "Hey! Well look at that! Still going strong indeed!"
• "Let's go little guy! Now! Open up wide, Ganon!"

Daruk's Protection

• "Daruk's Protection is now ready to roll!"

The Champions' Ballad

• "Ah! Count me in, tiny princess. I'm the fearless Daruk, after all! And if Hyrule needs my help, I'll gladly lay down my life."
• "Not sure if it's Calamity Ganon's fault or what, but I hear monsters have been attacking people more than ever lately. Times like these...you shouldn't leave the castle without a horde of mighty Gorons to watch your back."
• "Huh, that could only be... Hm? What the..."
• "They really are all over the place these days."
• "Hm? Is someone being attacked?"
• "Cowards! Wait here, Princess."
• "Hmph! Spineless little cuccos! No monster stands a chance when fighting me, the almighty Daruk! AUHH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!"
• "Good riddance... and stay safe. I'm sorry ya had to see that side o' me. As a kid, dogs always chased me. I still panic when I see one o' those critters."
• "So, tell me...Princess..."
• "Calamity Ganon isn't, uh... some kind of a dog monster, is he?"
• "I tell ya, those formal shindigs really take it outta me."

Secret Dialogue

• "I knew you could do it, little guy! Now you can use Daruk's Protection more than ever. If ya see than Ganon jerk, give him a message for me... Good riddance bacon-breath!"
• "Little guy! Can ya pass along the message to the youngster for me? Tell him, when I was young, nobody gave me the time o' day. I was green as grass and timid as a mouse! *laughs* Just work hard, watch out for your brothers, and eat lots of tasty rocks. Do that, and you'll be stronger than me! It'd be great if you could tell him that for me, brother."
• "Hey there, little guy! Say, do ya remember when we first met? Honestly... I never thought I'd find a Hylian strong enough to be considered a true brother! I was so shocked, bet I had a dopey look on my face. Maybe it's best if ya don't remember that part."
• "Hey, little guy! Listen, I'm trusting ya to keep it a secret, OK? Between you and me, there was once a monster I just couldn't beat. I hated that stupid thing! When I was young, I stepped on its tail, and it went 'ARP!' and 'RUFF!' and 'GRRRR!' Nasty critter. I can still see its awful face and sharp fangs. Facing your fears is certainly no walk in the bark... I mean park."
• "Little guy! I'm guessing your memory's still scrambled, yeah? Well... Maybe it'd help if you read that thing about our memories. Ya know, the one from back in the good o' days. What's that thing? Oh, yeah, my diary, I mean... my training journal. I bet it's still around. What? Surprised I kept a journal? If you're curious, try to find it!"
• "Hey, little guy! So ya came to test your skills again, huh? With the strength you've mustered, I'm sure beating down Calamity Ganon will be a piece of slate!"

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity

• "What you'll learn about me is that I never refuse a sincere request. So of course, I'm on board on your plan!"
• "Hmm... Except... there is one problem. Well, it's just Vah Rudania is in a difficult spot right now. The Divine Beast was found pretty high up on Death Mountain. A lot of monsters have been crawling around lately, so even getting close to o' Rudania is a big pain. Only the bravest go up there now..."
• "So that's why it's a good thing it's gonna be us!"
• "Come on! Death Mountain won't climb itself!"
• "Now, all we've gotta do is get climbin'. Backup should be on the way soon."
• "Monsters?! Guessing that means our backup is backed up. Looks like our climb's delayed."
• "Your fun is over, monster breath! The Great Daruk is on the job!"
• "Great work! Knew I was right about you. A Goron's gut is never wrong."
• "More company? Fine by me! Let's split up and drive the monsters back."
• "Whoa, there! I'm fine, but you folks had better be careful! Maybe I should go to the south side..."
• "Oh yeaaaah! That takes care of that."
• "MORE monsters?! Persistent little beasties, aren't they?"
• "The big one's ready to play! Too bad for you that NO ONE runs wild on Goron City while I'm here."
• "Heh, sorry for the trouble back there. Ready to climb this mountain already?"
• "Hot springs! Good time to rest our weary bones. We have a ways to go, so how about a break?"
• "We'll have to get rid of those monsters before we lower the bridges into the foothills."
• "Let's get to climbing Death Mountain already!"
• "Lookit that. That gang's all here! Let's combine our forces and punch our way through!"
• "You were a big help, Link! You're really starting to grow on me, haha!"
• "You're the kinda fella I can really count on. Bet your appetite is as might as your blade too!"
• "That tears it, Link. From today, you're my go-to little guy! I'm countin' on ya, is what I'm sayin'!"
• "Seeing it again, it's even bigger than I remembered! Let's get right to it, then. Ooo, I can't wait!"
• "Heh. Getting here is all well and good, but I have no idea how to drive this thing."
• "Welp! The best way to learn is by doing. Let's see what this thing's capable of!"
• "Time to run wild, Vah Rudania! That is, erm... if I can figure out how you work..."
• "Oooh... You can do all that, eh? Let's give it a whirl!"
• "Some floaty guys too... Let's send 'em flyin' along with the rest!"
• "A big group of 'em showed up. Heh, good thing they're no match for ol' Rudania!"
• "And that takes care of that! I'm really gettin' the hang of this!"
• "That was unexpected, but we pulled through to the end. You really proved yourself, eh, little guy?"
• "Now, about me piloting Rudania... Well, go ahead and count the mighty Daruk in!"
• "Of course! We'll smash that Calamity Ganon jerk to smithereens."
• "Ooh, wait a minute. You must be starving after all that fighting. I know just the cure for that. My favorite... Prime Rock Roast! Doesn't it look delicious? Why don'tca dig in, little guy?"
• "Gah, sorry! How thoughtless of me-I should have brought some for you, tiny princess! Next time, I promise to bring enough for everyone."
• "Of course! The more, the merrier! The thing is, we still need a knight gritty enough to seal the darkness, and they're nowhere to be found."
• "Although hey! If you see anybody that- *chuckles*"
• "Didn't expect things to get rough so quickly. This is primo training, isn't it, Mipha?"
• "With these numbers, we can't defend the gates. Hate to say it, but there's not much we can do..."
• "Great! Then it's time to turn the tables!"
• "Wait a minute! No one said anything about a pesky Hinox!"
• "Can't believe we fell for it. He lured us away with phony info!"
• "It doesn't matter who's the leader. We're all in this together, right?"
• "Good point. If only someone could fly above and scout the way."
• "Huh? Where'd you come from?"
• "That's great! Mind guiding us through the fog, then?"
• "Hey, you! Don't go ruinin' my good name, ya hear?!"
• "We'll handle things here. Somehow. You and Impa just look out for the princess!"
• "Ah, so you're ready to begin your training. Let's get to it!"
• "All righty. A good spot for Rudania would be...Huh? No... I can't believe it!"
• "No way, monster!"
• "Wait. That's my power... Who are you?"
• "Guh... This could be a tough rock to swallow."
• "Stay calm, kiddo."
• "Yes! That's the spirit! Ohhh... Alright. Let's try that again from the top!"
• "Hahaha, you kiddin' me?! Workin' together like that, it was waaay too easy!"
• "Well, the deed is done! We should all thank you. You really came through, little guy!"
• "Yunobo, wasn't it? I owe you some thanks, too! Without your help, I'd have been in deep trouble."
• "None of this makes sense, but oh well. We have bigger rocks to roast."
• "Princess, please tell us. What happened at the castle?"
• "I told you to drop the formalities, Yunobo."
• "Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha! Fine, let's go. Hyrule needs us, kid!"
• "Gang up if ya want - it makes no difference. You'll never get by me!"
• "With you on board, our buddy here is workin' its tail off. Makes it easy to wreck stuff up!"
• "If we stay on the defense, this will go on forever. Let's take out the bridges and stop 'em for good!"
• "Ready! Southern bridge, right? I'll head 'em off from here!"
• "They're on that side now, eh? OK, Yunobo, I'm heading that way!"
• "Hahaha! Score one for the Great Daruk!"
• "OK, it's time. Now I can smash 'em to bits!"
• "Heh, I've got some enemies to play with here, too. Time to finish this!"
• "We managed to protect it! Thanks for helpin' me out there, Yunobo!"
• "Haha, calm down, little fella. Now, let's keep it up and send that Calamity Ganon creep packing."
• "Sorry for the delay, folks. But we're here now and ready to roll!"
• "Raaargh! Don't get in my way!"
• "I've got this place covered, Princess. You go and help out Mipha!"
• "All right! Time to squash the brutes on the bridge!"
• "Time to rock and rampage! Yeah, Yunobo?"
• "We'll use the Divine Beasts to weaken that Ganon jerk. Let's make this one to remember!"
• "Ha! You really think we have time to take a breather? Let's keep going!"
• "C'mon!"
• "Argh! Even the Divine Beasts won't be able to move for a while!"
• "Yunobo! You survived, kid! Not that I'd expect any less from my descendant, haha."
• "So the big bad monster's here. Good timing! You're gonna pay for everything you've ever done!"
• "You can do it, little guy!"
• "Thanks for everything, Yunobo. We didn't get much time together, but I'll always cherish it."
• "Eh heh heh heh heh heh."

Guardian of Remembrance

• "Oh?"
• "I'm proud that you're my descendent. You are the champion... ... of the whole future. And don't you forget it!"
• "And about that courageous friend of yours... it seems I owe him as well. So, you better give him all my best, all right?"
