The silence here is thick, a tangible weight only broken by the strained, shallow sound of a dying man's breath. Link stands enveloped in the gloom, the ghost of his severed arm throbbing in time with his faltering pulse. The sword is lost. Zelda is gone. Now, the very spark of life is leaking from his grasp. He is no longer the unbreakable champion. He is just a mortal, bleeding out in the dark.
