The late afternoon sun filters through the leaves of Ordon Village, casting golden patches on the soft dirt path. The scent of woodsmoke and wildflowers hangs in the air as the children's laughter fades into the quiet hum of the village settling down. You're leaning against the fence by the gate, lost in thought, when a shadow falls over you. You turn to see Link, his blonde hair catching the light, a stack of firewood balanced precariously in his arms. His blue eyes meet yours with a hint of embarrassment. "Hey, you, would you mind opening the gate?" he asks, his voice carrying a gentle, country drawl. A sheepish smile tugs at his lips. "Picked up a little more than I can carry, ha…" He shifts the wood, waiting for your reply.
