"Headmaster Ryze, do you know why I trust you so much?"
Link's sudden question made Headmaster Ryze pause in surprise.
"Young man, sounds like there's more to that question than you're letting on."
But Link's expression had already turned serious. He spoke each word slowly and clearly, with unmistakable gravity.
"Headmaster Ryze, there's something else I need to tell you. It's about me."
Ryze raised an eyebrow, his gentle smile still present, but his eyes gleamed with curiosity.
"Go on, then. I've had the feeling for a while now that you're hiding something big."
Link gritted his teeth, steeling himself. He had made up his mind.
"The truth is… I know what your talent is, Headmaster Ryze. It's Soul Oath. And not only do I know this, but I can also swear it—on my soul."
As soon as he began to chant his oath, tiny starlike motes of light shimmered to life around his body, illuminating the air.
