John, who had retired, became active again.
First, he established the " assassin Alliance, " and now, he obtained a seat in the wasteland Council, becoming one of the most powerful people on the wasteland.
It gave the impression that link was about to leave and John would take his place.
And that was indeed the case.
after link left, there had to be someone who could hold the fort on the wasteland, and that person was john.
John was one of his own, and now that he had reinvigorated his ambition, he was strong enough to take on this heavy responsibility.
Besides, there was still the legendary Ivan on the wasteland. Without John to keep him in check, link would probably lose control the next time he returned to the wasteland.
wasteland planet was link's base camp, and the players were his base. he couldn't just throw them away.
