『𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨'𝐬 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰』

The Shadow is back and still feeling less secure about itself.

" What is a... Halloween? "

Does it have a shadowy Epona? It should have one. If not, it deserves to have its own Epona.

Wearing a big stupid bow on its head. It feels very pretty in it.

" I have another stone... "

Taking out another opal, pondering over it. Giggling before tossing at him.

" Yes please! Don't burn it like I did. "

" Yes I was! I wanted to know what it tasted like. "

Holding out the stone. It seems to be an opal.

" It overboiled. This rock? I found it near my tree house. It's kind of cold like water. "

" It got too warm. "

Sniffling. At least it didn't get burned.

" I burnt the water. "

How the fuck did it do that?

" I burnt the water while trying to make myself something. "

...how?

Standing over him with a very shiny rock in hand. A very pouty expression on its face.

" Wakey wakey, sleepyhead. "

" Grudge wants chocolate. "

It found a shiny rock with many tiny shiny rocks in it. Feels cold to the touch.

" Don't call him an idiot, idiot. "

It stared back before being distracted by a strand of whitish-purple hair in its face. A small huff.

" Who knows if Grudge is still spiritually attached to the Hero. It is its own being now. "

Stopping its wave before pointing at itself. White gloves covering the otherwise dangerous claws it bore.

Giving another yet smaller wave. Always so curious, this one is.

Another it? Waving at the other Dark Link!

Pleeeeeeh it's that Wizzrobe looking fella. It wants to poke that stupid eye with a claw.

It really does not like the mention of Cia.

Pleh.

" I hate how unfair some adventures are for the heroes. "

Making a raspberry sound. Wow so mature.

" Picky sword. "

" ...clown. "

Going :3

" Like what is stopping you from drawing the sword underwater? The water pressure making it difficult? "

It is still ranting about the underwater combat. Just be lucky YOU didn't get put underwater, Grudge.

" Or maybe the blade didn't want to get rusty. "

" A green rupee is better than no rupee. "

A small snicker.

" It is useful for traveling long distances but for underwater fighting? No. Why is it the only thing allowed for underwater fighting? That's stupid! "

Spit your facts, Grudge.

" At least I think it was important? I don't know my life before the 7 year gap between time. "

A small shrug.

" Maybe it was a very cool magic item! Or maybe- "

" Unfortunately no. I was not allowed to see inside the chest. All I know is that the Longshot was not... there originally. "

It has been in the same empty water field illusion room for centuries. It doesn't remember what it guarded originally.

" Besides, I did... guard the chest. It is mine in a sense. "

Unclipping the straps.

a cat is standing on its hind legs on a table . ALT: a cat is standing on its hind legs on a table .

It when the Water Temple.

" I like repurposing things. I didn't want it to collect dust. "

It misses the Temple but also not really. Too eerie and empty.

" In the house. It is literally the chest the Longshot was in. "

Did it steal the chest? Who knows. It doesn't care. Who was going to use the chest anyway?

" Silks... I would like them. "

Tugging on the straps on the tunic. Too itchy. The texture annoys it.

" What a coincidence. We should find the chest... "
