Turns out that when you wake up alone with no memories, and then spend the next year or so alone in the wilds as you fight monsters and solve puzzles, you don't do so well at things like working with others. Go figure.

As for the plan, well, the plan is for Link to launch himself right into the middle of the action and then start slashing at the enemy with his shiny new rail sword. The trash can lid is raised up like a shield on one hand, while he strikes and parries with the sword in the other.

The fact that some of the guards are still in the trucks doesn't stop him; he just shoves the sword straight through the window, shattering it.
