well anyway, he knows now... you're probably right, but he could have rushed in to get it, and be amazed by the powers of the lich.... he immediately casts time stop, protection from evil, and gate... he's a real bastard: i've never killed him before, but hey! i haven't even finished the game!!!
------------------
In the foul darkness one figure will emerge to save the world from evil and despair.... Light flashes as his sword comes down, and thunder rolls through the sky when he points his sword up to heaven to signal his victory....People whisper his name as he walks by, evil tries to hide as they sense his presence nearby.... His name? Link......
