{{Term|TLoZ (TV Series)|Link|link}} attempts to sneak out of {{Term|TLoZ (TV Series)|North Castle|link}} in order to go {{Term|TLoZ (TV Series)|Fishing|link}}, but {{Term|TLoZ (TV Series)|Princess Zelda|display=Zelda|link}} runs into him and informs him that he needs to do chores around the castle if he wants to earn his keep since {{Term|TLoZ (TV Series)|Ganon|link}} hasn't attacked in weeks.<ref>{{Cite Episode|quote=No! Ganon hasn't attacked in weeks and it's time you started earning your keep. There's chores to be done.|name=Princess Zelda|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=10}}</ref> While filling the castle's lamps with oil, {{Term|TLoZ (TV Series)|Link}} spies a strange mechanical robot that takes a few steps toward him and promptly shatters; much to the dismay of its {{Term|TLoZ (TV Series)|Doof|link}} the handyman. {{Term|TLoZ (TV Series)|Doof}} tells {{Term|TLoZ (TV Series)|Link}} that the robot was supposed to be his assistant.<ref>{{Cite Episode|quote=Oh, it was supposed to be my assistant. Help with the chores. Didn't work though.|name=Doof|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=10}}</ref> {{Term|TLoZ (TV Series)|Link}} encourages him to try again so that the young hero will do less work,<ref>{{Cite Episode|quote=Hey, don't give up yet. Any adventure that means doing less work is ok with me. Go on, give 'er another try.|name=Link|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=10}}</ref> but {{Term|TLoZ (TV Series)|Doof}}'s magic only causes the robot to go haywire, using a mop as a pogo stick and making a mess. | |||
While {{Term|TLoZ (TV Series)|Link}} and {{Term|TLoZ (TV Series)|Doof}} are chasing the robot, some of {{Term|TLoZ (TV Series)|Ganon}}'s {{Plural|TLoZ (TV Series)|Moblin|link}} infiltrate the castle by using a secret trapdoor under the floor tiles.

I just fixed that!|name=Doof|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=10}}</ref> and during their battle with {{Term|TLoZ (TV Series)|Link}}, ensnare him in a net. {{Term|TLoZ (TV Series)|Doof}} attempts to help by casting a spell on the robot again, allowing {{Term|TLoZ (TV Series)|Link}} enough time to defeat the {{Plural|TLoZ (TV Series)|Moblin}} while they are distracted by it.<ref>{{Cite Episode|quote=Oh, I must help Link! Alakazoo!|name=Doof|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=10}}</ref> Unfortunately, a hit from a {{Term|TLoZ (TV Series)|Moblin}}'s {{Term|TLoZ (TV Series)|Boomerang|link}} causes the robot to collapse once more, knocking {{Term|TLoZ (TV Series)|Link}} unconscious. When he wakes up, he is being scolded by Zelda for making such a mess and sleeping on the job.<ref>{{Cite Episode|quote=You were sleeping on the job, THAT'S what happened.|name=Princess Zelda|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=10}}</ref> He tries to tell her about the {{Plural|TLoZ (TV Series)|Moblin}} he defeated,<ref>{{Cite Episode|quote= No, no. I remember now! There was a bunch of Moblins. Like 50 or 60 of them, yeah! And I bravely and heroically fought them off. So, uh, yeah.|name=Link|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=10}}</ref> but she doesn't believe him.<ref>{{Cite Episode|quote=A likely story. I don't see any Moblins. All I see is a bunch of junk on the floor that needs to be picked up. So get to it, ''hero''. And no more naps, ok?|name=Princess Zelda|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=10}}</ref> {{Term|TLoZ (TV Series)|Link}} then asks {{Term|TLoZ (TV Series)|Doof}} if he can conjure up some fake {{Plural|TLoZ (TV Series)|Moblin}} so he can "rescue" Zelda and get out of doing the chores.<ref>{{Cite Episode|quote=Say, Doof. Could you make up some fake Moblins, that look real, I mean. [...] That way, see, I can save Zelda from the fake Moblins and get out of doing these stupid chores.|name=Link|show=The Legend of Zelda|episode=10}}</ref> However, Zelda overhears their discussion as she was cleaning a nearby door.<ref>{{Cite Episode|quote=Hmm...that's what YOU think, Link.|name=Princess Zelda|episode=10}}</ref> | |||
