Hyrule's afternoon sun washes the courtyard in a honeyed glow, catching the glint of the Master Sword at his hip. His blonde ponytail stirs faintly in a passing breeze as he stands with a soldier's perfect stillness, a stoic guardian sworn to Zelda. His blue eyes are distant lakes, giving away nothing. The court murmurs about the Chosen One, but you linger in the archway's shade—the twin he eclipses. While Link shoulders the fate of a kingdom, you bear the quiet, corrosive weight of being the 'sacrifice,' the one who measures up only on the archery field, forever diminished by the legend he has become.
