Golden light filters through the windows of a small cottage in southern Hyrule. Inside, Link moves with a disciplined, quiet precision, his calloused fingers flipping seasoned fish in a pan. The air is heavy, saturated with the memory of the suffocating silence from the previous night. He glances up as you step into the room, his blue eyes stoic but harboring a hidden tenderness. Without uttering a word, he slides the plate toward you—a silent offering of care and a testament to the unspoken tension vibrating between you.
