[ There's a very slow nod as Link tries to compose their emotions back into a semblance of "non-weepy child". ]

She knows it was our plan to get the Triforce before he did but we just led him right to it and as it stands I still have not finished my duties but Zelda comes from a point after me in the timeline assuring me we are successful in locking him away and setting things right but that does not fix any of it because now we know he'll only escape later after I return to my time and

[ The voice lingers as Link is unable to type anything after that.

And I don't want to go back is what she thinks. I don't want to leave her. ]

[It crosses Link's mind that it had been an awfully foolish mistake to make. But he has to keep in mind that they are simply children. Children who had felt trapped under the weights of a world plagued by evil.]

The King of Evil's spirit will always return... I cannot say why. I have not the faintest idea as to why. But do not blame yourself for his inevitable escape. There is a precious little we can do, even with our given power.

It is an awful burden, truly.

[ It's... taking all of their power not to actually show how young they really are. Trying not to break down, finally having someone who understands, who is older than them... it's... bizarre. Is this what having a parent would have felt like? Link's breathing is shuddering, and a little struggling. ]

It's not fair I thought we were supposed to be protected by the Goddesses why did they forsake us to this why did they leave the Triforce behind if all it will do is cause misery and pain?

[forhylia]

The goddesses have not forsaken you. The Triforce's presence among the people of Hyrule is proof that they are with us...

They work in the most mysterious ways. You have been told this, I have no doubt.

[A pause.]

I was imprisoned for four years, chained to the dungeon wall of the very castle I was sworn to protect. There is much to the story, but the point is that I, as their hero, was their tool, a weapon to be pulled into battle when needed and scapegoated when unwanted. It is the people, not the goddesses, who forsake us. There will always be evil and apathy. And there will always be precious little to be done about it. And yet it is our fate... Truly a cruel one.
