Prompt No. 25: Traumatic Brain Injury

Twilight Princess

During his fight with Death Sword, Link suffers a head wound that leaves him disoriented. In his state of confusion, Midna worries over his knee jerk reactions of fear and apprehension towards her. She wonders if her initial cruelty has left their relationship irreparable, and if it’s even possible for her to ever be as good as he is.

Damn I missed Link and Midna together and I cannot wait for why heroes rise 🙏🙌 Imagine having to sleep inside the arbiters grounds, I bet that would lead to some pretty fucked up nightmares 😬 I say it every time but I love how you describe things, “as wavy as a reflection on the sea” “like a doll toppled over on a shelf” stuff like that makes the visuals so easy to grasp in the minds eye and give so much life to the scene. Poor Link, him flinching when she flew closer cause he thought she was gonna berate him is sooo sad 😭 to be fair to Midna though, her change in treatment and behavior is still a fairly recent development, like just based off the game it’s only been since Zelda sacrificed herself, which means they’ve only retrieved the master sword and gotten halfway through the arbiters grounds with this new dynamic so maybe Link just needs a little more time to fully absorb it into his subconscious. Speaking of which when Midna is musing over whether she can ever truly make up for it she describes links light as “lengthening her shadow” that whole section is such a bar 🔥 like her contrasting herself with someone who constantly acts so selflessly and that making her actions even worse by comparison. So perfectly written in that bit about lights and shadows and the splinter constantly being picked at and driven deeper, I read that and immediately knew I wanted to talk about it here I loved that. Hypophora: when a speaker or writer asks a question and immediately answers it themselves. Obviously Link in his disoriented state asks a lot of questions that Midna has to immediately answer to keep him up to speed/assess his mental state. But when I read the definition I actually immediately thought of one of the later paragraphs where Midna asks herself if Links kindness was so great that he had forgiven her already, and whether she could be a light in his life. And I actually think this question also sort of fits the title because in my opinion it was already answered earlier, (unless there’s another smarty pants word for questions answered before they’re asked 😂) when Link is surrounded by skeletons and doesn’t know where he is he immediately begins looking around and calling for Midna, when he asks “am I fine now?” And calmly accepts and trusts her answer of no and rests, he calls out to her a lot in this one and I think that answers her question. He looks to her for comfort and guidance, like the light she wants to be. He’s scared of her anger and of how she treated him but I think some part of him knows how their relationship is now and he trusts her because of it and he’s kind enough to, if not forgive, at least look past how she treated him in the past and accept who she is now. Just how I immediately thought of the titles application Love the story and I can’t believe we’re at the end of the month already 😩
