Prompt No. 5: Enemy to Caretaker

Majora's Mask

Link hides the way he unravels each time he dons a mask. The way it tears his body apart and rearranges his mind. When it gets so overwhelming he can’t hide it anymore, the fairy who’s never cared before learns how to be there for him.

I have always been fascinated by the idea of the hero of time returning to his younger body at the end of ocarina of time, because it begs the question is Link now an older mind stuck in a young body, or was he a young mind stuck in an older body? Like which one is a more natural fit or does the traveling through time itself make both feel unnatural? I love how in this story it seems like it’s a bit of both, like he feels more mature than his body is, but also when it comes down to it he’s still way younger than he might think of himself as, like he’s stuck in the middle of the two not quite a child, not quite grown up. Really fascinating characterization. I love how the masks and their affects are portrayed here too, like putting on another persons skin feels wrong and unnatural and feeling the effects of their lingering mind and pretending to be them feels like a violation, I would absolutely die to see how you portray what it feels like to wear the fierce deity mask I bet that would go crazy in your writing 😩 Love the dynamic between young/not so young link and big/not so big sister tatl like she cares but doesn’t express it very well, but also someone else she cares for is in trouble with her brother tael, like so she’s kinda juggling how hard she can push one person she kind of cares about with her need to use him to rescue someone she really cares about. Just a really interesting dynamic going on. Epimone: repeating a phrase or idea over and over to hammer home a point or emotion. I mean the 3 day cycle fits pretty perfectly here, Link has to repeat and relive the 3 days at the end of the world over and over again until he’s able to finally stop skull kid and save termina. I would love to read more majoras mask or oot stuff this was awesome! Thanks for the story
