“That’s why I think we should figure out what that gem was.” Midna said. “That way we can figure out what the curse is and break it.” She nodded, her voice having no hint of uncertainty.
Link however, didn’t seem so convinced, even after their talk. “You really think we can do it? I’m not sure I’m ready for more curses or dungeons… I don’t think I could swing a sword like this.” Link bemoaned.
“Who said anything about that? Hyrule's castle has a vast library, whose to say there’s no clues in some old texts?”
“True, but…”
“And forget your sword, if you can’t swing it, we’ll get something you can!”
“Yeah, but Mid-“
“No buts, we just need to adapt! I know you Link, and I know whatever the problem, you can overcome it. This is no different.” Midna assured the worried woman.
Link was unresponsive, she wasn’t sure she would overcome this, but she couldn’t deny what Midna said. She had adapted to situations far more drastic and dangerous than this. She had crossed the threshold of twilight, and transformed into a blue-eyed beast, and still pressed on. She had slain demons and monsters held under curses and stood triumphant in the wake of countless ambushes. She had even been called upon the Hero’s Shade and been handed down knowledge and abilities on multiple occasions. So many times, had Link been faced with what some would call impossible odds, and snatched victory where others would have given up. This was an easy hurdle to overcome, and, in some strange way, could even be beneficial, and open new opportunities that she may not have had before.
Link looked at herself in the mirror one last time before turning to Midna. They a long journey ahead of them. Where that journey would take them, she didn’t know. But she now that she could turn this situation around. All thanks to Midna. She may have brushed her off as selfish and rude, but the two had grown much closer, she knew better now.
Link huffed and tightened her belt. Midna smiled as the woman checked her supplies was all in order and safely stashed away before standing with a much bolder confidence than before. She knew that look in Link’s eyes, Link was determined and ready to conquer to road ahead of her. As she had done many times before.
“So, where should we start?” Midna smiled.
