Cute but also sad 😭 It would be interesting if Links nightmares were a mix of things he can remember and things he couldn’t remember, just to add to the confusion and nameless, faceless fears that usually accompany nightmares. I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, I like the idea of Link still having lots of gaps in his memory (I mean I don’t like it because I find it profoundly depressing but it’s a good bit of character for Link is what I mean 😂) it makes him really interesting to read about because memory is such a crucial part of the human experience, and I would love a selphie fic following Link through the beginning of botw when he’s basically just a blank slate like how disoriented and lost and confused he would have been I bet you would write a serious banger. It also means that if he ever lost Zelda he’s basically done for that’s like the only connection he has to himself, like I don’t see a way Link could continue on without having Zelda or any of his own memories. Asterismos: using a seemingly unnecessary introductory word or phrase to capture the audiences attention and emphasize what follows. In a way Zelda’s initial nightmare is the “attention grabber” for Zelda and the reader, her nightmare is what leads her to Link and his nightmare, one that emphasizes their shared trauma and bond to one another. Love this story and can’t wait for more!
