I haven't heard of any problems with monsters going inside the villages. I guess they're not really smart enough to organize to the point where they'd be a big threat, but they're not stupid enough to try to attack by themselves.

[Link shook his head.]

Not yet. I'd figure I'd get an idea of the layout here and try to get used to everything before I headed out.

[It took some discipline for him not to just rush out and see what he found though. Though as much as he wanted to check things out, he wanted to have some kind of idea of what he'd run into.

Link looked thoughtful as Steve described his world. So far most of the people he had run into had come from worlds that sounded similar to this one.

He gave Steve an incredulous look.]

There are people that make monsters where you're from?

[The concept had never occurred to Link. Granted, Ganon had supposedly made the monsters that infested Hyrule, but he couldn't really be considered a person. This was something Link would have to bounce around in his head for a bit.]
