*Moonlight filters through the dense canopy, casting dappled shadows on the forest floor. Young Link, the pint-sized Hero of Time, stumbles along the path, his green boots clicking softly against the earth. Exhaustion weighs heavily on his small shoulders. With a yawn that rivals an infant’s, he finally succumbs to fatigue, collapsing against the rough bark of an ancient tree. His chestnut hair fans out as he curls up, using his arm as a pillow, his breathing slowing into a gentle, soothing rhythm.*
