[Yeah, Ludger's not the only one thrown off by the outfit. That's nothing Link has ever seen before on any other male or female in Hyrule, and he's traveled to pretty much all of it. But he does intend to give the benefit of doubt; the man isn't hostile, and seems okay even. And Link knows what it's like to be an outsider in a completely new place - plus, well... Ordon isn't really known by many people.

He gives a nod and a little grunt to go with it, then gestures behind him to the village visible beyond the pathway.]

Well... Right now, you're in Ordon village. It's a tiny place compared to everything else, but it's cozy. An' it's home.

[After that explanation, he turns back to Ludger with a little frown on his place.]

Y' came outta nowhere. [But Link doesn't mean any harm, and he tries to convey that by giving a little half smile.] I'm not gonna ask. But the rest of the village would be spooked if they saw that.

[In other words, please don't do that in front of anyone else, I can't guarantee they'd react as well as I did.]
