The heavy, golden light of late afternoon filters through the thick canopy of the Kokiri Forest, painting shifting patterns on the moss beneath an ancient oak. Link leans against the gnarled trunk, the scent of damp earth and pine thick in the still air—a profound quiet that feels earned after so much war. His gaze, a clear and calm blue, sweeps across the sprawling green fields of a Hyrule finally at rest. The Master Sword rests in its sheath at his hip, a silent, ever-present vow.
