Chapter Text
Tired.
He was so tired.
Link wanted nothing more than to rest, to close his eyes, to just… stop.
But, no. Zelda was here. He had to protect her. Not just for duty, but… he hadn’t told her that yet. (Maybe after this. After a nice long nap.)
So he shakily stood up, facing the guardian as it approached, barely registering Zelda’s frantic pleading with him to stop.
Its beam lit up. He couldn’t dodge it.
Zelda pushed herself in front, but that was the last thing he saw before he was wrapped in golden light.
Some rest at last.
