[li-] Link is in the [4] bathroom of the [-(e)n] infirmary where he comes across a 文 giant who is a member of the staff in charge of handing out toilet paper for the patients. Unfortunately, that 文 giant is quite 吝 stingy, and will only give each patient a couple of squares of TP at a time. Link, fed up with this 吝 stingy behavior hits the 文 giant in the 口 mouth and grabs as much TP as he wants before he enters the stall.
