MY POOR BABY

I noticed today that when Link goes into the Fire Sanctuary, you can visibly see how tired he is.

Usually when he enters a dungeon he makes this face, getting a bit more intense with each new dungeon he encounters:

But by the time he gets to the sixth one, the Fire Sanctuary, he does this.

Oh, my poor bean.

He is just so, so tired and you can see it in his face, how he closes his eyes and takes a deep breath and physically has to prepare himself. He's exhausted. He doesn't want to go through another dungeon, another boss fight, another thing that will keep him from Zelda. But he knows he has to.

So he takes a moment, allows himself a single deep sigh, and then gets to work. especially after having just received heaping verbal abuse from Scrapper; Link's mental state must be devastating right then

can I please just hug him

#since the LU boys are in a dungeon now this reminded me of this post #but honestly like... I think of all the Zelda games I've played Skyward Sword is def the one with the most “frantic” vibes #like botw has a false pressure on you to hurry and save Zelda because her strength is failing #but the game is SO HUGE and you have to move so far it makes it seem like Wild can take his time a bit and he does #Time can play all kinds of games and there's this kind of... idk empty exploration feel #like after the 7 year time jump you're wandering a little at first trying to get your bearings #and you can jump to the past eventually if you like #and TP there really isn't a time crunch at all. The castle's just kind of in a box and nobody cares except the resistance lol #but skyward sword... you FEEL that pressure #Link is BREAKING HIMSELF after the first fire dungeon #Impa TEARS YOU APART for being late #this is the only zelda game where Link is CONSTANTLY rushing #stumbling over himself to get to her #this boy probably DESTROYED his body on this journey #anyway thank you again OP for pointing this out <3 #and in Majora's Mask--the game where you LITERALLY HAVE A TIMER--you can just... reset the three days #like you still have to do missions within that time #but Time does it so much it becomes like clockwork (ha) for him #< prev tags #i do a little reblog
