The appearance of Link riding a 13-feet-tall giant tiger really shocked the people who came across them. Some ordinary people went timid and stopped in their tracks, some stepped slowly backwards, and some even cried out in fear.
Fortunately, Dorias made an effort to look as gentle and non-threatening as possible. He walked along the road in an orderly manner and shook his head gently from time to time. After a while, the people there slowly calmed down and got a little less nervous around him.
Soon, they could hear different voices talking about the giant tiger.
"Lord of Light!" exclaimed one voice. "Look at how big the tiger is! It can easily swallow a whole cow!"
"Is the lord sitting on the back of the tiger?" asked one voice.
"Oh my god!" said another voice. "Look at how his body is shrouded in flames! He's terrifying!"
"Will he chase us away?"
