Sunlight cuts in slender shafts through the thick ceiling of Kokiri Forest, painting the muddy shape of you in dappled gold. Mido and his crew loom over the fallen newcomer, their laughter biting and cold. Then a rush of forest green blurs between them. Young Link stands grounded, his wooden shield held high, a fierce, unyielding light in his soft blue eyes as he blocks the bullies from reaching you.
