[ She kneels so he is able to look her in the eye. It's been a while since she's felt such warmth and happiness. He's innocent, not scarred by what she had put the Hero of Time through. ]
Applications are challenging for everyone, certainly. But have faith in them. They will surely do you justice.
[ He offers a nod. ] I think so too! Mun says I'm a really hard voice, but she's still really excited.
[ The Hero of Winds is a cheery little fella, to be sure. Even in the face of evil returning and his sister being kidnapped by a giant, armored bird, he remains optimistic and somehow finds the time to take way too many pictographs ]
I've been okay. Things have gotten really weird lately. [ He's clearly seen better times, considering what he has to put up with, but that's never stopped him from poking his nose where it probably doesn't belong. ]
A place called "Demeleier". She says there's someone I might wanna meet there, but she won't tell me anything else about it, or the other place...
[ There's a significant amount of selfies, just so you know
He doesn't object to her hand, but he is a little taken off guard by it. There's a tiny little "huh?" as he feels his hair brushed aside, but otherwise he doesn't react. ]
Well, my sister got kidnapped by a reeeaally big bird, so I'm trying to save her!
Well, I'm sure she has your best interests in mind.
[ She takes a breath, her expression sobering somewhat. ]
I see. So you're on a journey to save your sister. You are, indeed, so brave to go after her on your own. I will pray for her safety, and I have faith in you.
[ He puffs up his chest a little. Yeah, he's totally brave! He'll do anything to save his sister! Although running off a cliff and being catapulted face-first into a monster-infested fortress probably isn't the best way to do it...
Anyway, he gives a thankful nod. miss tall zelda you're so nice ]
Mm-hmm! The King of Red Lions is helping me, so I'm not alone!
[ His...boat? She supposes she has heard stranger things. Surely a sentient boat isn't too hard to imagine. ]
You are traveling across a sea to find her? My, you are venturing so far, aren't you?
A great power. It seems that many courageous heroes must journey far before their quests can be over... If anyone can wield such a power, it would be you. Your name is Link, is it not?
kdjfvbldfg thanks :'D he's my toughest muse to date... And your zelda is so sweet aahh ♥!!!
[ He's about to comment on how the Great Sea is HUGE and he's seeing some really coold stuff and wait wait whoa hold up how did...you know his NAME? Pardon him if he gawks for a moment, at both that and the prior comment. ]
Uh-huh. How did you know that...?
<3 I'm glad you think so :3 he's just too cute she can't help it
I dreamt of one such as you. Garbed in green and determined. You remind me of him. There are so many. The spirit of the hero will always return, isn't that right?
Really? [ oh my god Zelda his face is gonna turn beet red at this rate ]
Yeah! The story about the Hero of Time. Everyone on my island knows it. [ It's also the reason he's wearing this outfit. It's not a tradition he's particularly stoked about, especially given how warm the outfit is, but his grandma worked hard on this so he'll gladly suffer through it. ]
[ He may not be remembered in name, but the legend has managed to survive an oceanic apocalypse. You may not be too happy to know that Hyrule no longer exists in Link's time.
...wait a sec, the Link you knew--
He puts the pieces together and GAWKS. Lady, you just blew his mind. ]
You know the Hero of Time?! [ THAT WAS A STORY WHAT ]
Can you see how giddy he is? People talk about the Hero of Time like he's an amazing hero and pretty dang cool and stuff; the fact that Link could MEET this guy is pretty dang awesome. It's enough excitement for him to forget the other, sadder half of the legend for a moment. ]
[ He blinks. Him? You mean him? A hero? He grins sheepishly and lets out a calm chuckle to match. ]
I guess so! King of Red Lions says I have to be before I can save my sister...
[ He sure has done a lot of stuff, that much he can't deny. Partially in his quest for finding the power to take down Ganon and save Aryll, partially because he can't say no to helping someone in need. It's virtually impossible for him. He's pulled off a lot of feats, but he's typically a bit modest about it. ]
Come to think of it, only now is he able to really describe it. He never really left Outset until the pirates came along and Aryll was kidnapped. Now that he's traveled a bit, he has busier, far more varied islands to compare it to. ]
It's kinda quiet. There's some woods on the mountain behind my house. Grandma says fairies live there. There's a lookout tower near Mister Mesa's house. And Miss Rose has a pig pen near my house...
[ Hmmm what else... ]
There's this old tradition where you dress up like the Hero on your birthday when you get old enough. We don't do a whole lotta other stuff, though. And monsters come out at night now.
[He reaches back to scratch the back of his head, jostling the rabbit cap a bit and chuckling sheepishly.]
N-not usually! I'm pretty good at remembering faces. Or maybe that's why? Huh, I dunno.
Nothing wrong with that! My mun's the same way. "Let's send so-and-so somewhere!" Where? Nobody knows! She has a hard time deciding these things, I suppose.
She's suuuuper picky, too. And, ah, I'm fairly new, I guess? At least compared to some of the others she's got around. She says I'm definitely one of the loudest, and I'm just gonna assume that's a good thing.
I suppose you must've faced troubles, but I'm happy to hear that it's on its way to improvement. Should I find myself in my own Hyrule once more, I would be happy to lend assistance once our own recovery is complete.
pretend his hat's still on i'm so slow at making icons s-sob
That's very generous of you to offer, but I'm not sure how much more we could ask of-- wait, recovery? Don't tell me...
[Did something terrible happen since he'd left?! This Zelda looks different, more mature than the one he'd briefly met... could something terrible have happened in the past, ravio future?]
My ambitions have grown to encompass more than just Hyrule, princess. I no longer play the game of the goddesses in their unending cycle of light and shadow. You and your hero are of no consequence.

Does your mun have any places in mind?

Hello, hero.
Not in particular as of this moment. She's...well, she's rather fickle.

Yours too? Mine's thinking about a place but she won't finish her application...

And I hope you've been safe, despite those events. May I ask what happened?

Wait... You dreamed about me? [ That's a new one. And here he thought the Great Sea had already revealed all its surprises to him. ]

[ She strokes her chin in thought. ]
You know, in the fields outside of my home, monsters appear from the ground at night as well. I suppose it happens in other lands.
Hm...I wonder. Link, is that why you wear green? You must've reached the certain age recently.
no subject
[ It's not just scary; it's also annoying. Try sleeping when you hear a constant "De-ne! De-ne! De-ne!" outside your house... ]
[ He nods affirmatively. To be honest, he prefers his crawfish pajamas, but hey. ]
My grandma made these for my birthday.
no subject
Hm. Your birthday recently passed then.
[ She smiles a little and kneels before him, playfully blowing a kiss to him. ]
Happy belated, Link.

Thanks!

My, she's feeling quite nostalgic. ]
You're very welcome.

RAVIO! <3
I apologize. You must've mistaken me for someone else.
[ What a curious bunny-hooded figure! ]
HAY GURL HAY <3
Enough about ol' Ravio, though. Headed to anyplace in particular yet, Your Highness?
[He might have sounded familiar if Link were more of a talker, buuuut...]
You make my Hilda and Osfala muses stir <3 ilu you're perfect
The princess tilts her head, smiling thoughtfully and bringing her hand to her chin. ]
Do you typically have these sorts of days, Ravio?
And my mun has yet to find a direction. She's taking her time with it, I suppose.
<o>w<o> DO I? And uuu thankyou! Got a long way to go still u///u
N-not usually! I'm pretty good at remembering faces. Or maybe that's why? Huh, I dunno.
Nothing wrong with that! My mun's the same way. "Let's send so-and-so somewhere!" Where? Nobody knows! She has a hard time deciding these things, I suppose.
<3 You're doing wonderfully
I hardly blame them. There are so many choices. Have you been out and about for very long?
As are you!
<3
[ She likes him already. ]
Where are you from, Sir Ravio?
no subject
[If she could see his eyes widen behind that hat. 'Sir'! That's a new one, all right.]
A place called Lorule, Your Highness. A bit rough around the edges compared to your homeland, but getting better every day!

I suppose you must've faced troubles, but I'm happy to hear that it's on its way to improvement. Should I find myself in my own Hyrule once more, I would be happy to lend assistance once our own recovery is complete.

I LOVE YOU
I have faith in my mun; she will choose well.
It's strange that you say such a thing, though, when the path you attempted to forge for yourself was effectively thwarted.
Not sure that's the appropriate response!
THE MUN IS PROB MORE EXCITED THAN THE MUSE
[ She straightens, eyes narrowing. ]
We may have our faith, but there will always be someone who will overcome you. He took his destiny into his own hands as well.
Oh, well, he is pretty fabulous...!
[He shakes his head and snorts.]
These are the gods you place your faith in.
<3!
And what will you do now? Continue to bide your time? Come back and try again, only to fail?
Or will you allow your mun to control you?
