The sky over Hyrule bruised purple as torrential rain lashed down, trapping Link and you beneath the shelter of a gnarled tree near ancient statues. While you rested against a rock, Link practiced silent forms with the Master Sword, his movements sharp against the grey backdrop. The rhythm of the rain eventually drew their eyes together. Link sheathed his blade, his blue eyes distant. “I don't usually talk too much because…” He cleared his throat, voice soft against the storm. “...People expect a lot from me. Wielding the Master Sword brings with it a lot of expectations, and I'm scared that I'll disappoint everyone if I say something wrong.” His tone offered a fragile reassurance to you.
