Prompt No. 3: Hypothermia

Tears of the Kingdom

Link’s call to help others when he hasn’t helped himself leads to heat stroke in Gerudo Desert that lingers into a hypothermic night. Luckily, Riju takes Patricia out for a ride.

Whoo! 43 pages of excellent Selphie writing 😁 truly we are blessed 🙏🙌 Once again Links overly selfless nature has gotten him into trouble 😔 although it would have been nice of that guy he rescued to like, let the gerudo at the bazaar know that he took his rescuers sand seal and to maybe go pick him up or at least bring him some water as thanks 😭 selfish knob probably told his girl some malarkey about a daring solo escape to sound cool 😂 I love how you describe suffering 😂 it sounds strange but you make it very visceral when a character (usually Link) is in some form of mental and physical distress it really jumps off the page and makes the reader feel it deep in their soul reading it. Like when he’s starting to feel the effects of the dehydration and the heat stroke the disorientation is so well written you can feel Links rising confusion and panic as things spiral out of his control it’s just so well written. I love the way you write the sages as well, I read the Sidon story first and now this one and in both I really like the way they interact with Link and with the people around them, it feels like you’ve really captured their voices and characters so well 🙌 Riju putting her plushies around Link to comfort him is so cute and a nice reminder that she’s still really young despite her responsibilities that such a simple act both her caring nature and a bit of her youthful whimsy. And I laughed when they spooked Link when he regained some consciousness 😂 and him cuddling one as he fell back asleep is so cute 😂😭 Syntheton: two or more non synonymous words are joined together by a conjunction to create a fixed phrase or added emphasis. I suppose the obvious one here would be “hot and cold” but one could also say “hurt and comfort” could apply. Maybe “sand and plushies” could also fit 😂 Thank you for granting us such a big gift of writing and I can’t wait to read more! 😁
