The footprints in the forest were fresh. Link had no trouble tracking them.
Whoever these footprints belonged to seemed to be a really huge fellow. Link continued his pursuit, not worrying about being shaken off by his prey. Along the way, he picked up some of the medicinal herbs that Gretel still needed.
Soon, he had gathered a whole bunch of herbs in his hand. Gretel had even told him that the more he could find in the forest, the better.
After pursuing his prey and collecting herbs along the way for more than 30 miles through the forest, he finally saw a lake up ahead.
The lake was oval-shaped, its diameter more than a thousand feet. Its water was crystal clear. Near the reeds on the edge of the lake, Link caught a glimpse of what he had been tracking.
It was a giant. He seemed to be around 150 feet tall, almost humanoid. He did not have much body hair, or even any clothing, covering his muscular body.
