Popping in here just to say that I have been writing (slowly because life has been a bit of a mess but I think I will have some things ready during the weekend) and that I'm still alive.
❝ this is your fate. don’t feel discouraged, even in the darkest of times. ❞ ( from zelda ! )
HE MAY HAVE BEEN CHOSEN, BUT THAT FATE WAS FAR GREATER THAN HIMSELF. A mantle of responsibility bestowed upon him by forces beyond his understanding that, at times, seemed almost too heavy for any shoulders to bear. How could anyone in his position not have doubts ? Not wonder the reasons why it was them and not someone else ? NOT BE AFRAID OF NOT BEING ENOUGH IN THE END ? The questions swirled incessantly in his mind, each one more haunting than the last.
However, courage was not the lack of fear, but continuing despite of it. And it was the moment she said those words when the hero felt it coming back to him. Her calm and resolute voice carried a faith that made the path ahead, which was still daunting, now seem a bit less insurmountable. She was the same as him. Both thrust into roles that intertwined their lives with the destiny of their land. She understood what he was going through, he was sure. And that was perhaps what gave her the power to lift some of the weight from him.
❝ I will not fail you nor Hyrule, princess, ❞ Link finally spoke, letting go of her hand as he stood from his knee and regained his full height ❝ I promise ❞ his voice was soft yet resolute, carrying a tone of personal conviction along with the determination, which was now unmistakable in his eyes, that revealed that his words were far more than a mere declaration of his duty. They were a pledge of unwavering commitment, not just because it was expected of him, but because he believed in the cause.
Reading again the Twilight Princess manga has given me the urge to write things in that verse and, since I don't have any at the moment, like this for a starter ( length may vary ) from the Hero of Twilight.

Thinking about which zelda games I could add to my verses and honestly I don't think it'll go beyond Skyward Sword (because, you know, kind of fun to explore the beginning of everything) and Wind Waker (with maybe a few changes and honestly for no other reason that it being one of my favourite games along with oot and tp)
Hey listen! I know that in botw/totk it is the sword that gets more strength when it faces Ganon or monsters created by him but, what if it was because when it shines with its blue light Link gets somewhat connected to the spirit inside the sword (Fi) via a very subtitle melody in the back pf his mind (which are actually words he can't even understand yet) that guides his movements?
HE REMAINED SILENT AS HIS BROWS FURROWED IN THOUGHT, doubt filling his mind as he contemplated the two options at hand. Though perhaps the fact that he walked over to her in order to kneel beside her was answer enough of what he had decided. An hour wouldn't make much of a difference if she did discover something important, and he would always be at her side to make sure no harm ever came to her ❝ Can I help? ❞ his eyes examined the stone first before travelling to meet hers at the question.
“ oh ... ” disappointment stains her tone , a longing hand lingering upon carved stone , as intricate as it is mysterious . it seems to hum beneath her palm with some ancient hymn , attempting to communicate a message that she cannot glean . she can almost understand , like a word caught upon the tip of her tongue . “ couldn't we stay just an hour longer ? i'm sure that i'm close to ... something . if i just had a little more time ... ”

I mentioned before that I'm taking from the Asoiaf books the fact that you can't spend too much time in an animal's body and that, if you do, it will change yourself because you eventually lose your human conscience until you become the animal itself for the Hero of Twilight.
So, even if I will eventually make a longer post about this, know that in that verse Link will have sharper senses, teeth more similar to a wolf's, and a more impulsive side. Also, he'll be way more into hunting and hanging out in the forest than he normally is.
