Really sorry for disappearing but life has been a bit busy and I just wanted to say that I will likely not come back until I have the time to build a small queue to make up for days where I won't be able to write
Thinking about which zelda games I could add to my verses and honestly I don't think it'll go beyond Skyward Sword (because, you know, kind of fun to explore the beginning of everything) and Wind Waker (with maybe a few changes and honestly for no other reason that it being one of my favourite games along with oot and tp)

repost and rate your muse's traits, then tag your followers.
Compassion: 10 / 10 ( he helps without expecting anything in return )
Bitterness: 2 / 10 ( not common, though he can feel it in certain moments, especially toward his enemies )
Happiness: 3 / 10 ( mostly being a god's chosen doesn't mean things are easy for this boy or that he himself gets the peace he helps achieve )
Politeness: 10 / 10 ( sometimes it reaches such high levels that it gets annoying )
Honesty: 1000 / 10 ( he's pretty straightforward. It isn't in his nature to deceive or manipulate and he would be a bad liar )
Bravery: 1000000000 / 10 ( understood not as the lack of fear but continuing despite it and all the difficulties he may have to face )
Loyalty: 1000000000 / 10 ( don't think anyone can doubt that tbh. He'll give his life for those he cares about )
Love: 10 / 10 ( not something I think he expressly wants or looks for, but if you gain his heart he'll be yours forever )
Sense of family: 100 / 10 ( he mostly has no family himself so found/chosen one means everything to him )
Attractiveness: 100 / 10 ( I think it's fair taking into account that there are so many people who have a crush on him )
Agility: 8 / 10 ( he's a pretty good fighter and it's one of the things he has trained )
Sex drive: 2 / 10 ( my boy is really focused on his quest and even after it I think it still isn't something he really thinks about unless it's with a person he loves )

HIS STILL EXPRESSION HIDES THE DEEP APPRECIATION LATER SHOWN IN HIS CONCISE REPLY. For there's a certain nuance in his tone, that makes it require no more than a ❝ Thank you ❞ or gestures to be felt. Though he has no real intention to hold her to her word, especially considering that they had just met each other, that their paths might not remain intertwined beyond that night, and that it wasn't her responsibility but his ❝ She is very important ❞ whether to him personally, for a greater purpose that not many, not even himself, can fully grasp or something else entirely, he doesn't elaborate. Still, the green-dressed hero had unknowingly offered her another clue.
Something he may have realized of if it weren't for the first answer he gets, as the mention of the race makes his eyes open wide ❝ The dragon-kind, you say ? ❞ his mind immediately drifts back to the creature he had saved from being sold in the market. And that all too familiar and painful nostalgia crawls its way back into his heart. As the realization that, no matter if the memory is as vivid as if it had happened yesterday, seven years had actually passed by sinks in. SHARP AND UNDENIABLE. A tight knot forms in his stomach, a lingering discomfort he attempts to shake off with a breath in order to push the past aside and force his attention back to the present.
❝ I know of a dragon, ❞ he begins, form iluminated occasionally by the flickering firelight ❝ but it has been a long time since I last saw it and I cannot say what has been of it ❞ yet something deep down tells him it would be well. Strength and independence are in its nature, and he doubts anyone would dare harm it. The real question is if the little information he has would be useful for her mission. But since she has demonstrated her own good will in helping him, he chooses to share it just in case it proves valuable in accomplishing her goal. After all, it wouldn't be the first time a small lead turned out to be exactly what set someone on the right path.

Honestly I need more interactions here so...like this for a small thing from Link?
The more I watch a gameplay and the more I read the manga of tp the more I love Midna.
Just posting this so you guys know Link has one of the brightest smiles. Shame he mostly has a poker face and it's very difficult to see it.
THE SKY WAS PAINTED WITH THE DEEP HUES OF TWILIGHT, stars beginning to peek through the canopy of trees. The air was cool, filled with the scent of pine and earth, and the tranquil sounds of the evening forest surrounded them. The last rays of sunlight filtered through the trees, casting long, dappled shadows. Though she didn't seem to mind, for she was still absorbed in her observations. The knight stood a few meters behind, watching the golden glow of the setting sun illuminate her, casting a halo around her form and highlighting her focused expression.
❝ We should head back, princess ❞ Link finally spoke, his tone a soft warning as his eyes, always sharp and alert, scanned their surroundings. No matter how peaceful the scene may seem, he couldn't ignore the growing worry inside him. It wouldn't be the first time, nor the last, that someone used the darkness and the familiarity of a path to attack ❝ It is getting late ❞ He continued, adjusting his stance. The weight of his sword shifting slightly against his back a constant reminder of his duty to protect above anything else. Even her own orders or wishes.
@hyruleir liked for a small thing!
Honestly one of my favourite fights is dark Link because of how it represents how there is darkness even in the kindest of people and how it's your choice which side you listen to (which is why Link always wins, because his desire to do good will always be stronger).
Also, nobody knows you better than yourself and having to defeat someone who has your same resources, knowledge and strength/speed is way more difficult than it may originally seem.
