Переплелись мои корни в тесной братской могиле Скажу им: "Закончились войны", Cкажу им: "Вы победили"
I've found a new song (шиповник - 'dog rose') and, naturally, it made me think. a lot.
The whole song is something that fits botw Link specifically so well, but this piece in particular was inspired by the following bit of lyrics:
My roots are intertwined in a cramped mass grave
I will tell them: "The wars are over",
I will tell them: "You have won"
(in the original text, 'mass grave' is more accurately translated as 'brotherly grave')
When it's all over, what does it mean to be part of a legend? What did it mean for those who came before you?
Link barely knows them, his time is so far removed from theirs, but his roots are intertwined in that brotherly grave regardless.
They are the closest of strangers, and no one's brought flowers to their graves for a while. Might as well.

i have a book i got ages ago about flower meanings. I know it's all relative n they change from culture to culture etc but. One of the meanings for a dog rose is "prematurity"...as in, something happening too early. before its time
There is also a custom here that if you bring flowers to a grave, it has to be an even number, because an uneven number is for the living.
there are four in the bouquet, and three in Link's hair. I did put four flowers in that bouquet on purpose, but the uneven number in his hair was a beautiful beautiful accident
partial translation of the song (if u want a full one feel free to send an ask or something):
[...]
In underground bunkers
Among the wreckage of weapons
Soldiers of perished armies
Wander with a bullet through the chest
My roots are intertwined in a cramped mass grave
I will tell them: "The wars are over",
I will tell them: "You have won"
My prickly skin is a sad memory
I know more about death than you can imagine
In reinforced concrete crypts, slugs live on mossy walls
But I want to see the sky, I wake up to life
