Link,
Link

Open your eyes

That is a sheikah slate. Take it. It will help guide you after your long slumber.

Link take the mysterious tablet with a glowing center, it looks somewhat familiar

It walks into an other room, it's still blueish. Some boxes are here and there.

Link find an old shirt, it seems chintzy, and some trousers, it walks to an other glowing pedestal, hoping it'll open the door.

Hold the Sheikah Slate up to the pedestal. That will show you the way.

Link look around, searching for some kind of switch before realising that the tablet has the same pattern as the pedestal. It puts the Sheikah slate on it, it waits a few seconds, unsure of what to do next. The floor begins to tremble, the big door opens, making dust flying everywhere. It walks into the new room.

Link, you are the light, you must shine on Hyrule once again

It traverse the water on the floor and climbs the standing rock.

Once outside it walks forward until it reaches the end of the cliff, trees and grass are everywhere, it takes a deep breath in, a small breeze make its hair fly behind it.

An old person is beside a fire and Link decide to go see them, it finds a Tree Branch and some Hylian Shrooms, beside itself, it takes them.

Link, link head for the point on your Sheikah Slate

Link continues to walk toward the old traveler, but gets distracted along the way, it sees a squirrel hidden behind a tree, it observe it for a few moments before leaving it alone.

Link walk down a path and arrive at the fire.

Red balls are disposed to the side of a cooking tool, Link takes them.

The mouth of the old person moves "excuse me! I believe this is my bake apple. You can't go around and take whatever you want!" They seem offended. "Oho ho! Forgive me- I could not resist pulling your leg. Please help yourself. An apple and an open flam make for a succulent treat. It is a bit strange to see another soul in these parts."

Link look quizzically at the person, the buzzing in its head seems to amplify. It tries to convey its confusion to the other. The old traveler seems to clearly understand something else because their mouth begin to move again.

"Who am I? I'll spare you my life story. I'm just an old fool who has lived here, alone, for quite some time now. What brings a bright-eyed young man like you to a place like this?"

Link try to make something out, but it doesn't work, it doesn't have time to think about anything else as the person's lip move again.

"Where are we? Answering a question with a question. That is fair enough. As I cannot imagine our meeting to be a simple coincidence... I shall tell you. This is the Great Plateau. According to the legend, this is the birthplace of the entire kingdom of Hyrule."

The old traveler get up and point to a construction and begin to talk again, but Link has long gave up understanding anything. It faintly remembers the voice of someone, but can't seems to focus on the thoughts long enough the be able to differ what the thing is. Surprisingly, the memory (?) seems to have dulled down the buzzing.
