I commissioned a Zelda drawing from Regal in DA and, as had become custom when I commission him, I did a response in 'thanks'.
I figured this place is loaded with zelda fans, so I might as well put it here eh?
Anyway, the initial paragraphs are more a descritpion of Link's mindset and the part (begining with 'hyaggh' which is such a bad-ass call it strikes fear into enemies hearts even in prose) beyond that is a verbal reproduction of the final fight with Ganon atop the tower in OoT.
The sword knocked to the side, light arrows to the face, using hammer, etc......
________________________________________________
The blade’s weight had become familiar, there on my back, over these last years of war.
It was like another appendage, a deadlier extension of my wants, needs, hates, and desires.
As I walked it’s steady tap against my spine both comforted and calmed me, as it were.
And I shudder to think of the youth I had once been, marveling at the mere dagger to be
found in a wondrously hidden treasure chest in my forests of genesis….I suppose every
warrior has a genesis though, and I’ll not feel shame for my roots. For I was fighting this
fight long, and lonely years before any of my fellow man came to it’s enthralling call,
and I shall fight this fight when the last of you are dead and nourishing the worms who
slither unerringly in the earth just below my feet.
And just as I do not feel a smatter of shame for my genesis, I do not find any fear on the
matter of my incessant exodus either. The future and past’s cohesion are simultaneously
beyond my care, and all I can be. For what do I have but time these days? A mind who’s
times follow and fade, confounding like a wine that’s ever trickling down my lips--inebriating
me on the stark truths of the past, subtle beauties of the present, and seductive mysteries
of my future. But their transition leaves me transfixed with knowledge yet incapable to alter,
as I relive my past to change my future and plunge into that future so I can return to my past,
and all the while my present is hazed in the constant wrenching of my core and duplicity of
my crux that is irrevocable and horrific.
But No Matter Time’s Pains-I’ll Use It For Your Gains
“Hyaghhhhâ€
