[li-] Link is [2] inside the [-ao] barn where there is a 尞 transformer next to the pile of hay and cows. The 尞 transformer catches 火 fire and threatens to burn everything down. Link runs over and grabs the 尞 transformer and throws it out of the barn, saving everyone and everything. However, now his hands are 燎 scorched from touching it. The ground where the 尞 transformer on 火 fire once stood is similarly 燎 scorched.
