{{ | At the end of the "{{Term|TotK|Guidance from Ages Past|link}}" {{Term|TotK|Main Quest|link}}, {{Term|TotK|Mineru|link}} reveals to {{Term|TotK|Link|link}} that following the {{Term|TotK|Imprisoning War|link}}, {{Term|TotK|Princess Zelda|link}} came to her with the {{Term|TotK|Decayed Master Sword|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|You know this tragedy as the Imprisoning War. Though it took all we were able to give, we succeeded in imprisoning the Demon King. But I was wounded in the process. My body was soon to expire. That is when Zelda came to me, bearing a decayed a broken sword. Yes. You will recall how the Master Sword vanished from your hand at the Temple of Time. From there, it traveled into the distant past, appearing in Zelda's hands.|Mineru|TotK}}</ref> This starts the "{{Term|TotK|Critical Decisions}}" {{Term|TotK|Memory|link}}. | ||
{{Term|TotK|Mineru}} asks {{Term|TotK|Princess Zelda}} if the {{Term|TotK|Decayed Master Sword}} traveled through time as she did.<ref>{{Cite|You're saying that sword traveled through time the same way you did?|Mineru|TotK}}</ref> {{Term|TotK|Princess Zelda}} confirms this, revealing that {{Term|TotK|Demon King Ganondorf|link}} appeared to be weak to even a shard of the original {{Term|TotK|Master Sword|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|Yes. But more importantly, in my original time... the Demon King was vulnerable to even the smallest piece of this sword.|Princess Zelda|TotK}}</ref> {{Term|TotK|Mineru}} notes that it must be his weakness, and she asks {{Term|TotK|Princess Zelda}} what they should do with it.<ref>{{Cite|Even someone like him has vulnerabilities. Then...what exactly are you suggesting we do with the sword?|Mineru|TotK}}</ref> {{Term|TotK|Princess Zelda}} recalls that the {{Term|TotK|Decayed Master Sword}} can heal itself and grow stronger if exposed to sacred {{Term|TotK|Light|link}}, and {{Term|TotK|Mineru}} realizes that by empowering it, they could be able to permanently defeat the {{Term|TotK|Demon King Ganondorf|display=Demon King}}.<ref>{{Cite|Over time, the Master Sword is able to absorb sacred power. It can heal itself and even grow stronger!|Princess Zelda|TotK}}<br/>{{Cite|Curious... If we were able to empower it in that way, it could be the key to defeating the Demon King.|Mineru|TotK}}</ref> | |||
Compared to the power of {{Term|TotK|Demon King Ganondorf}}, {{Term|TotK|Mineru}} thinks it could take centuries to replenish the {{Term|TotK|Master Sword}}'s power to the point it could face him, and she is unsure how {{Term|TotK|Princess Zelda}} could care for it for so long.<ref>{{Cite|But...it could take centuries for that sword to grow strong enough. The power the Demon King wields. I do not see how this can be done. It would be impossible for you to provide it with sacred power for so long.|Mineru|TotK}}</ref> Bringing a hand to her {{Term|TotK|Secret Stone|link}}, {{Term|TotK|Princess Zelda}} reveals that she has thought of a way to do so.<ref>{{Cite|I can think of one way...|Princess Zelda|TotK}}</ref> {{Term|TotK|Mineru}} stands from her chair as realizes that she is referring to draconification, and {{Term|TotK|Princess Zelda}} insists that she must go through with it.<ref>{{Cite|You mean...|Mineru|TotK}}<br/>{{Cite|Yes. I can do it. I have to.|Princess Zelda|TotK}}</ref> {{Term|TotK|Mineru}} tries to argue against it, but she is cut off by a coughing fit due to her weakness.<ref>{{Cite|I've told you! That act is forbidden for a very good reason! It would mean throwing yourself awa—|Mineru|TotK}}</ref> | |||
Out of concern, {{Term|TotK|Princess Zelda}} helps {{Term|TotK|Mineru}} return to her seat.<ref>{{Cite|Oh, Mineru!|Princess Zelda|TotK}}</ref> {{Term|TotK|Mineru}} reminds {{Term|TotK|Princess Zelda}} that there is no way to undo draconification, but {{Term|TotK|Princess Zelda}} claims that restoring the {{Term|TotK|Master Sword}} for {{Term|TotK|Link|link}} is the reason she was sent into the past.<ref>{{Cite|You...won't be able to change back.|Mineru|TotK}}<br/>{{Cite|The moment I had the sword, I knew what to do. I knew this was why I came to this era. I... I want to restore the Master Sword and deliver it to Link!|Princess Zelda|TotK}}</ref> Resigning herself, {{Term|TotK|Mineru}} asks {{Term|TotK|Princess Zelda}} if she is certain,<ref>{{Cite|I understand. You really...have made up your mind?|Mineru|TotK}}</ref> which she confirms with a nod. As a {{Term|TotK|Zonai|link}}, {{Term|TotK|Mineru}} feels guilty for allowing {{Term|TotK|Demon King Ganondorf}} to come to power, so she decides to help {{Term|TotK|Princess Zelda}} prepare for {{Term|TotK|Link}}.<ref>{{Cite|Very well, then. As a Zonai, I bear my share of blame for these events... So I too will devote myself to this goal...and to this hero of yours. For the swordsman Link, I will do everything I can.|Mineru|TotK}}</ref> She vows to stay with {{Term|TotK|Princess Zelda}} in {{Term|TotK|Spirit|link}} should her body perish.<ref>{{Cite|Even if my body should perish, I will still be with you in spirit.|Mineru|TotK}}</ref> Following this, the {{Term|TotK|Memory}} will end. | |||
