Resistance

"The Group", or the Adventurers' Guild, are a cadre of vigilantes, centered in Telma's Bar of Castle Town, covertly working to restore peace in Hyrule. If Link enters Telma's bar before going to the Lakebed Temple, they are less than pleased by his presence, thinking of him as a costume-wearing kid. After being cursed by Zant, Link passes through Telma's bar and has a chance to eavesdrop on the gathering, who now know who Link is, and are thinking of apologizing to him for their earlier behavior. If Link does not meet "The Group" prior to Telma's return, they comment that Link's courage is only due to his simple upbringing. Rusl has also been a part of "The Group" for some time, meeting up with them after recovering from the injuries he sustained during the monster attacks on Ordon village.

Near the end of the game, Link is confronted by a mob of Bullbin archers and goblins on Hyrule Castle's battlements, and almost receives a fatal blow from one of the archers, but is saved by Rusl's hawk. The rest of "The Group" exterminates the remainder of Link's foes, leaving the path to the Boss Key clear for Link to traverse.
