I can talk for hours about unfairness in this whole "returned childhood" thing

For me it looks like they've made him blindly go through minefield, so he'll get blown up by every single one of the explosive, so they can map a safer route

I love Link's two response options here.

The context is that Linebeck owes this guy 5000 rupees and he just said that Link is gonna be the one who's gonna pay. And these are Link's responses:

Translation:

>EXCUSE ME?!?

>WHAT?!?

(Some translation rambling under the cut)

The best way I could translate "wie" here was in the sense of "excuse me!?" As "wie" is more a short form of "wie bitte" which would directly translate to "how please" but in context it means something like "excuse me are you kidding me?"

"Wie" alone could also translate to "how" which would also work in this context, but I think this one is meant to be more of a shocked expression about the situation and not Link asking how he is meant to repay all those 5000 rupees.

Part 3 of Hyrule Rules, OK? aka The Scion of a Salty Veteran

Legend says he doesn't want to settle down, and obviously that's a valid decision for anyone to make, but it's particularly understandable for someone who is, what, 19 maybe? And used to a transient life.

He doesn't really answer Wild, just retorts with, "I'll be sure and remember that when I'm 117."

There's that bit in Hyrule Historia, though, which I've posted before and is gonna be my canon forever even though it says "may be" -

- along with this bit (ouch) -

- so here are my two thoughts.

Legend keeps travelling for a long time, for the sake of training and helping (maybe for the sake of atonement, shhh), but also for the sake of travelling, until he meets someone who makes him want to stay put in their country long enough to start a family. He either does settle down there, or he gets itchy feet and continues roaming with his family. Either way, that line leads to Link, the wandering Hero of Hyrule, who is not from Hyrule.

Alternatively, Legend is still the progenitor of Hyrule's lineage, but he never knows it. He's a rolling stone gathering no moss, oblivious to any offspring he produces in his wake because he never stays in one place. This kind of works better with the wording that Hyrule is thought to possibly be descended from Legend - something like, "I never knew my father/grandfather but my mother/grandmother said he was the Hylian Hero of Legend", etc.

I actually much prefer them all not being related, and I only grudgingly accept Time and Twilight because... they are. (I like my family tropes found, thanks very much.) The only reason I've become attached to Hyrule descending from Legend is that they don't seem to know it.

Or, maybe Hyrule kind of knows but isn't sure how to bring it up. Maybe he doesn't feel he can live up to Legend's legacy. (Legend has done... So Much.) Maybe he doesn't want Legend to worry about the fate of his progeny. Maybe, after all the generations, information being lost or fobbed off or destroyed, he just doesn't know.

Isn't it just.

Hyrule Isn't Meek and Insecure, part 2: The Sassening

Voted Most Likely To Tease Time Behind His Back

Wild: "I tried to move a boulder with my sword and now the sword is broken!?"

Hyrule:

"I'm bored and we look like idiots."

I think he's calling u slow, Sky.

"Let me just call attention to the fact that you're trying to hide" - Hyrule, probably.

This was immediately after being told not to touch anything. "Oh yes I'm sure this is all very precious and not junk at all, is the random wildlife part of that, too?"

See, Time, he's having none of your old man shit.

(As an aside, this panel makes me smile because, like, surely there is enough room for them, even all nine of them, to spread out. They're outdoors. But the two Downfall Boyz are squished right up next to each other.)

Legend is the 😒 side and Hyrule is the 😏 side of the same coin. It's in the genes, babey. (Coming up: Probably They Are Distantly Related But Don't Know It, aka, Papa Was A Rolling Stone)

[sleepylink]

Hyrule isn't meek and insecure, I'll die on this hill.

This boy is always running straight into the action

Always

Right up in there

Even Legend knows

Strange object in a strange land? Obviously, we have to follow it.

"Yeah, we got beat up, but we still won."

Even these panels...

... show that he's definitely humble, but humble doesn't mean lacking confidence.

(Unrelated, but wow look at those colours in Memories 1 & 2.)

There is one panel that shows him behaving a little more cautiously -

- but considering the portal was summoned by Dark Link, perhaps Hyrule is more sensitive to and unsettled by the dark magic.
