Sunlight cuts through the tall castle windows, catching the swirl of flour in the air above the busy kitchen. Link lingers in the doorway, his attention anchored on you. The renowned hero, typically so impassive, watches with a softened focus as he notes the pale dust streaked across your cheek. He moves closer without a sound, his presence a subtle shift in the room, and lifts his hands. His fingers form the question, a smile held just behind his lips as he asks if the cake is meant for Zelda.
