Without hesitation, Link ran to the nearby ladder and climbed up up the steep hillside to her house. Opening the door, she darted inside and slammed it shut behind her. Too panicked to concentrate, she began pacing back and forth across the floor with a flood of thoughts racing through her mind.
"Would you calm down, all ready?" Midna asked. "So you're a girl now. What does it matter?"
"Easy for you to say," Link replied.
"Panicking isn't going to make you a man again," Midna said. "Especially if you keep running around like a frightened little girl."
Link stopped in her tracks, realizing that what Midna said made sense. Taking a deep breath to calm herself down, she tried to think of what she should do. I suppose I should see what I look like, anyway. Stepping in front of her mirror, Link looked at herself and gasped. Although she realized that she was a girl, what she didn't realize was just how much of a girl she had become. Several inches shorter than her male self, the curves of her thinned body were accented by the refitted tunic, which looked more like a minidress because of the way it fit her. Her tights showed off even more, revealing the feminine curves of her arms and legs. Her softer face was accented by fairer skin and longer eye-lashes, and it startled her to see how pretty she looked. This is just too bizarre. It's me, but...not. "Well, you really are a cutie, aren't you?" Midna asked.
"Who asked you?!" Link shouted.
"Wooo, touchy."
Link place a gloved hand on her forehead. "I'm sorry," she said. "I just don't know how to handle this."
"Well, don't panic," Midna said. "You've changed forms before, right?"
Link nodded. When she entered the Twilight Realm for the first time, his body had forcefully transformed into that of a wolf. She had since overcome that problem, however, and now could change to and from her wolf form whenever she was in the Twilight. At heart, this new situation wasn't that dissimilar, but figuring out how to change back was going to be a problem without any leads.
