Dawn of a... New Life?
Characters: Link
Setting: Around the tower. Don't see a prompt? Pick a spot and Link will find a reason to be there.
Format: I'm starting with prose, but whatever floats your boat is fine for threads
Summary: That newvictim person smell is fresh on this boy. As fresh as that ugly white jumpsuit he's still wearing.
Warnings: None. Will update as needed
Room 4-14
He was in the process of carefully sliding the edge of his sword up the side of his right leg to cut the cloth of the jumpsuit he wore. He'd already gotten most of the left leg cut off and cut into strips. He hadn't been able to rip the fabric - such a strange material - but he'd found the razor edge of his sword could slice it open just fine. With an unknown place like this, and none of his clothes anywhere in sight, including belts, Link would have to make something approximating them to carry what few possessions he had left.
There were two sheets of paper that looked like letters on the table next to him. His reading was terrible without the aid of a fairy and he only had a few of the word patterns memorized enough to recognize a few of the words written on them. The first, shorter one, he managed to make out "I saved you" with no issue - so he knew he'd been in trouble of some sort, even if he couldn't remember it - but there were some words he didn't know to recognize by rote between the shorter ones he did: 'world' and 'destroyed' and 'let's' and 'happy'. So while it was nice he'd been saved, it would have been nicer to have someone in the room to tell him what had happened and why he had the weird feeling collar and bodysuit on... and how to more easily get them off.Zippers? What are those?
Dormitories - Around the Stairwell
Now in a jumpsuit that had both legs and the right arm poorly chopped off and the remnants re-purposed as make-shift belts/straps to hold all five of his masks, the Ocarina of Time and his sword's sheath (slung across his back), Link was making his way up the ramp that circled the stairwell. The ramp only seemed to go up while the stairwell went down. Knowing that most dungeons required him to go up to get the keys he needed to go down, Link had decided that up was the smart way to go. If he had to change directions, he could and would. In his left hand was his sword and on his right arm was his shield - what would have been a medium sized one on any grown man, was absurdly large on the boy's 3ft frame. The humor of it marred, perhaps, by the horrified face etched into it's mirrored surface.
Cafeteria - First Meal
Link had managed to make his way to the very bottom of the tower - or as far as he could go, anyway - using the contraption called the 'elevator'. It was food store of some kind and that was great, because he was hungry, but all they had were something called 'nutrition bars' and oatmeal. Oatmeal was what Malon fed Epona as a treat. So it probably wasn't meant for people... which only led to him being very frustrated because the strange people who worked there kept trying to give him oatmeal instead of the nutrition bars. He didn't understand it at all and they wouldn't answer his questions, just repeat themselves when saying he should have oatmeal.
[[Edit: this has been resolved, but anyone who wants to find him in the cafeteria trying to convince the people to give him more oatmeal, is welcome to do so.]]

When I escaped the Dark World, you were not there to sop me. No one was. Hylians showed once more their remarkable courage and went into hiding praying for their gods. In short, I won and I have to say such an easy victory was nearly humiliating.
Why wasn't there an hero such as yourself to stop me, will you ask? This is a question better asked to your friend the Princess Zelda. Everything I'm telling you here, they all know. But they are too ashamed to speak of it.
[ He chuckles. ]
The King of Hyrule and the Goddesses refused to admit defeat. So the King of Hyrule left the fate of Hyrule in the Goddess' hands. Can you guess what the Goddesses did, Hero?

[Link's caution didn't leave him, but he did move his eyes from Ganondorf to the illusion he'd created. A pang of grief choking his chest for a moment at the sight of Hyrule. He hand't realized how much he would miss it.]
no subject
At this moment, Ganondorf repeats the line Link probably read upon waking up in the tower. ]
Your world has been destroyed. Let's all be happy here.
no subject
No.
[Link shook his head in denial.]
No! They- They couldn't have done that! You're lying!
no subject
[ He shook his head, laughing of quite a cruel world. ]
Ask your counterparts and your precious Princess. Ask them how benevolent the Gods have been to Hyrule.
no subject
That meant it was the truth.]
It- IT WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED IF NOT FOR YOU! THIS IS YOUR FAULT!
no subject
[ Satisfied, he walks to the exit. ]
Let's theorize the Gods did it because of me, then you have wonder, what kind of Gods would destroy the world simply to stop me? Are they good? Or are they evil?
