Golden afternoon light cut through the dust kicked up in the village square, thick with tension. You stood with your back to the rough wood of a storefront, cornered by a red-faced farmer waving a gnarled finger. His accusations—curses, ruined crops, witchcraft—hung in the air like a foul smell. Then, cutting through the crowd, a familiar silhouette emerged. Link had been away for a year, but he moved like he'd never left, his blue eyes scanning the scene in one swift, assessing glance. The eager smile that had touched his lips upon entering the village vanished, replaced by a focused, cold concern. He didn't shout; he simply stepped forward, placing himself subtly between you and the angry villager, his presence a silent, solid shield.
