#am I pulling this from that one snippet where Hyrule and Wild were talking about his blown off ear?

I was thinking about a Reader who just knows a lot about the human body lately, and I'm imagining them just casually stating things like 'hey Link did you know that humans actually only use about 20 to 30% of their natural strength because if they used all of it it would result in extreme exhaustion and we'd likely destroy our own bodies if we did, but in dangerous situations, our inhibitors can be disabled?' I feel like that would give the Links a fair amount of fear depending on their stance of humans, along with the fact that we can lose 14% of our total blood volume before we start feeling light headed, and the fact that we've gotten so used to some poisons (e.g, chocolate, historically stated to be an aphrodisiac and caffeine) that they barely affect us anymore, how other ancient sapient species who didn't adapt to our modern human ancestors all died out, ancient humanity's history of endurance hunting, where they chased after prey until it literally lost the will to live or the ability to run, etc.
Maybe the sillier facts too about how the default human has the 'hiccups setting' enabled all the time, and instead of evolution removing it, a hiccup inhibitor preventing us from doing so was added, and the fact that they're a leftover from our amphibian era, although I feel like some of the ones with a less kind view on humans wouldn't take the 'evolved from amphibians' thing in the intended way, and although they likely evolved from the same, it could serve as some sort of fuel for negativity. That thing humans do where they tilt their heads to the side when confused is also an evolutionary leftover from when it would help us adjust how sound waves travel over the ear and get a better understanding of them.
Sky is intrigued because he's been without what are considered modern humans so he's like, oh is that why we do that?
But then it gets in the more morbid stuff like pursuit hunting and adrenaline and he's like wait, no stop, too much.
Wild is the one who continues the conversation because he's the one asking all the dark and morbid questions that make Sky ill. Hyrule is listening with intense fascination. (I'd imagine because he's trying to piece together what makes humans tick, on the off chance he'd have to heal them since magic doesn't work on humans),
