Prompt No. 26: Ghosts

Breath of the Wild

Zelda speaks to Link not only after he wakes up in the Shrine of Resurrection—she speaks to him the entire time he sleeps. The Sheikah Slate records all of it, and Purah and Robbie can’t help but notice as they monitor his vitals.

Super sad and super cute at the same time ❤️ I really love the different style of this one, it reminds me of the lore terminals in halo reach and halo 3, how the text is interspersed with computer and radio jargon just gives it such a fun feeling, idk how to describe it just that it’s really really satisfying to read so fantastic work on setting the feel so perfectly 🙌 I love how at the start Zelda seems to think the resurrection is only going to take a little while, like he’ll be back in action in like a year or something but as it stretches to nearly a decade she starts to get angry and frustrated because she’s understandably exhausted, shows that even though she’d tempered that side of herself in her dealings with Link she’s still human and being forced to hold back the embodiment of evil for so long alone is going to take its toll. Then as it continues on she steels her resolve to push on no matter how long it takes. It’s a good thing purah didn’t get bored of reading those messages after 100 years and was there to see the last one about deleting all those messages cause otherwise that could have been one overwhelming wake up read for link 😭 also I like how Zelda clocked that purah was reading the transcripts 😂 I don’t know I just find that funny either she was monitoring her and Robbie’s communication where purah admits to reading them or she just knows purah so well she knew the good doctor simply couldn’t help herself 😂 Also I don’t know if it was the intention but in my head when Purah suspends the deletion and instead of deleting them remotely like she initially was going to she instead went to the shrine personally, as the computer access point was from the shrine terminal and in my head she does this so she can save the communication logs separately, just in case when Link gets his memories back he can read them maybe. Or for historical documentation, ya know either way works just how I pictured it in my head. Erotema: classical term for a rhetorical question. Obviously a rhetorical question is asked with an implied answer and isn’t meant to actually receive a direct response, just like Zelda’s communications to the sleeping Link, she knows he can’t answer and without his memories won’t be able to answer any of her communications anyway, but are meant for her to shore up her strength, and check on the person she loves in the only way that she can stuck in her current predicament. Love the story and the really cool style! Can’t wait to catch up on the other ones! ❤️
