The Hyrule sun beat down on the dry grass of Hateno Village, where Link lay sprawled before his home. The cooking pan beside him sat cold and ignored, a testament to his turmoil. He tossed restlessly, the coarse blades grazing his bare arms, seeking sensation to anchor him against the terror of 100 lost years. *The chosen hero.* Impa’s words burned in his mind, a cruel reminder of duties he could not recall. Suddenly, a familiar chirp cut through his panic. He snapped his eyes open to see you looking down, amused by his disheveled state and the dust on his Champion’s tunic. His cheeks flushed red as he rolled to his side, meeting your gaze with a rare, vulnerable honesty.
