Sidon’s always been a true homie 😤 he’s probably my favorite of the new champions tbh but I’ve always kinda liked the Zora more than the other people of hyrule (RIP queen rutela 😭) I like how Links first instinct after learning Zelda’s fate was to go see mipha, when I found miphas court during my play through of totk I did spend a few minutes just hanging out up there wearing the zora armor she made and listening to the music 😭🙏 I like that just being in her presence gives him comfort it’s so sweet 🥹 It’s a sad world being the only miphlink shipper on planet earth so stories like this where he’s still got a deep connection to her even though she’s gone kinda give me life 😂 now if only I could get some life breathed into me from my Ilink obsession I might be considered a living human being again 😭😂 Love the interaction between Link and Sidon in this story, just the way Sidon is able to ground Link with a few choice words and a shared melody they both have experienced before as comfort from mipha, just so sweet and a perfect characterization of the zora prince 🙌🔥 That last line about him speaking to Mipha in his dreams destroyed me 😭 so beautiful 🔥🙌 Syllepsis: a word that modifies or governs two or more other words but applies to them in different ways. One could say Link is drowning, in water and in his anguish over Zelda’s apparent fate. (Did I do that right? Idk I’m kinda a dummy 😂) but I think it could also refer to how Mipha affects both Link and Sidon, one person who modifies two other people kinda deal. For Sidon maybe she’s more of a guide or someone he looks to for inspiration, while for Link she’s a comforting presence and a shelter where he can gather and compose himself amid turmoil. Something like that I’m not quite intelligent enough to elucidate the point 😂 Thank you for the great story! This month has been pretty awesome so far keep up the great work!
