[o4] ‸^‸ Fourth Song.
Characters: AU!OoT Link (
ocariness) and whomever finds her.
Setting: Floor 11 (Daytime). Set immediately after this, which is the day after the events of Hitori Kakurenbo.
Format: Action probably I'm terrible with prose lately?
Summary: Link now thinks that her ancestor hates her. Tired and emotionally past breaking point, she found somewhere (or so she thought) to be alone and sob. She really needs a hug.
Warnings: TOWER OF SADIMUS/ANIMANGST and tl;dr. But uh, other than that? None yet!
[ Everything around her was ripped away in a whirlwind of green light and the wooshing sound of air as Link returned to the warp point she'd set on the meadow floor.
It's hard, but she manages to pick herself up and not break down there, as luckily the warp point was next to the exit, as always. She gets up, numb, expression pained, and begins slowly making her way back to her room. By the time she returns to the meadow floor, she has since fixed her clothing, rebound herself, and gotten a shower.
... There was no evidence the person sitting next to the lakeside is a girl at all. Link had seen to that not being noticed.
She might be hard to spot, wearing a blue tunic instead of her usual green one and not bothering with having her hat on, but you'll spot her sitting on a bank, head pulled to her knees. There's the sounds of quiet sobbing every so often.
She shouldn't be allowed to carry the Master Sword, the name of Link, or anything else. She simply didn't deserve any of it; she had been forced to age and she never wanted it. She'd experienced loss, and the Tower was pushing her past even her limits of bottling things inside.
Something had to give. Perhaps it was her. Perhaps her ancestor deserved this sword more than she. Or the small Hero of Winds. Why was it that he, younger than when she'd started, was not forced to age like she had been? Was she never worthy to begin with? Did they simply "make do" with her? Was she a replacement "Hero"? Link didn't know.
What she did know was that she wished she could go home. Zelda deserved better than her. ]

[No seriously, it does.]
I'm sore my home may have had magic to it as well - floating islands above the clouds, after all! - but... never enough for it to have its own music about it.
... I'd like to be able to hear it, someday!
no subject
... I may be able to at least give you an idea of it.
[ There is a long pause, and Link puts the Ocarina of Time to their lips. The song that Link plays sounds something like this, and there's a kind of... mystic quality to the notes, as if the instrument is reaching far away, and each note conjures images of a sprawling, confusing labyrinth full of life. ]
