Mnemonic


[z-] Zelda is [2] inside the [-(e)i] beach house on the bay, fending off a 賊 thief. The 賊 thief wears a straw hat and has a 戈 halberd in one hand to attack with, and a 十 cross in the other to help fend off blows. Zelda uses her Triforce energy to lift a 貝 shellfish off the ground and throw it straight at the 賊 thief's head, knocking him out cold.
