as i make my way through legend of zelda ocarina of time i am coming to terms with the fact that this is a story about children being failed by adults over and over again but i think nothing quite hammers in the fact that link is an actual literal child more than when you get down to your last health heart and his idle animation goes from him idling to him hunched over letting out these pained wheezes and it's like oh dear god this is a nine year old. i'm so so so so sorry i will get better at this game i promise

#HIS SHIELD IS TOO BIG FOR HIM SO WHEN HE USES IT HE JUST HIDES UNDER IT LIKE A TURTLE. CHRIST ABOVE THIS IS A CHILD #like i was expecting a fun rpg game or whatever i didn't realize i would get so thoroughly beaten upside the head with the whole #'link is a child who grew up in an isolated village in the woods ostracized by the majority of his peers #he gets lied to and fucked over throughout pretty much the whole game by adults using him as a pawn because he is a child #and because he was raised in such an isolated place in a land of eternal children he doesn't know any better #but things just Keep Getting Worse' sub-plotline. or whatever #i've spoiled myself for some of the later parts of the game because that's just what i do and hearing about some of the shit #that happens when he wakes up in an older body after being forcefully put to sleep for seven years #so no time has passed for him but it's passed for everyone else so the end result when he sees all the changes is so painful.....oh my god #absolutely batshit
