Prompt No. 12: Failure

Ocarina of Time

Zelda screams as Link loses the battle that determines eons, but it is fated that in one timeline of three, the Hero of Time should fall to the Great King of Evil.

Damn 😭 I had kinda forgotten that the Zelda timeline was split in three, really sad for that version of Link tbh, although it seems like there isn’t really a version of the hero of time who gets a happy ending cause the one who wins the final battle still ends up as the hero’s shade after being forgotten and dealing with all his trauma and stuff. And remembering the fact that this link is literally a child placed into an older body, like just imagine the young link from the remake of oot with his little baby face having to fight demon beast Ganon and dying is sad as fuuuuck 😭 I love your use of poetic language when describing the stakes of the battle, the use of clocks as a metaphor for time, mentioning all the eras of the heroes, just all of it is so beautifully written it’s amazing I love when you write stuff like that 😩🔥 Caesura: a pause or break in a line of verse. Like the timeline breaking because of the death of the hero and the triumph of evil. Thank you for writing this and I can’t wait to read more ☺️🔥
