His Untold Emotions -[ART SCENES] (Link botw POV fanfic) CHAPTER 3 OUT!

Chapter 3-Ancient beauty

11/8/21 note: sorry if last chapter seemed to have an unnecessary amount of writing, it's just my style to make you feel how overwhelmed link was and how he's taking everything in. It won't always be like that, I just wanted it to be detailed because it's his first time outside and the cutscene is literally so beautiful and special in the game lol. The pace will pick up a bit from here and I'll still focus on his emotions bc that's the whole point of this :P

"A...a person...An actual-" I whispered in awe, each word said louder and louder until I stopped.

I had to calm my nerves. Even though the same feeling of relief washed over me, I couldn't help but take a deep breath in, my heart was about to jump out of my innocent body. I could feel it thumping as it echoed out of my ears.

I took a deep exhale for reassurance before properly looking ahead; my hands finding it's way above my eyes to block out the sunlight. I felt like I was dreaming. This all felt so unreal...like a dream. Hopefully, just hopefully, I would wake up soon from this nightmare.

In the far distance was a man. A large man with an unkept, white beard; dull, old fabric draped down his sides and shielded his head. The hood really did suspiciously cover most of his face, but I somehow wasn't creeped out. I could feel his eyes and see the dark yet bright colours from here. I couldn't help but just stand there, as if I was waiting for a response to his eyes that pierced through my nervous body. But yet, I stood there confidently, as if it was a habit of my past self. I was starting to believe I had a lot of ancient...habbits.

The trees swayed with the rhythm of the soothing wind; the sound of wildlife increased as my ears pricked up to the sound like an animal, and my heart raced around my body full of emotion. Thumping, louder and louder...until I gave in and took a step in the direction of this man. It was all I could do.

But before I could continue, he gave me a neutral yet warming glance; the sun glowed onto his face for a slight moment, before he walked and took a seat on the ground to a distant camp area that I couldn't see clearly. He felt somehow familiar...but I didn't remember anything. I trusted my instinct to take that as a sign and go right over to him.

And so I did.

But, I still couldn't stop the questions thumping in my mind with each step I took. So I ignored them. I had nothing but the calming voice to keep me going. I was pathetic.

'Could I trust this man..? I have...nothing to lose anyway.. It all just feels odd.'

I strolled along the grass, the view still vibrant as ever to my left; I gave into the desire of distractions to keep my mind off the possible threats; I even plucked a few mushrooms, and found a few branches beside the stones that were once a part of the path I was walking on. But...it was clear that the grass had consumed it through time.

The wind gushed through my thin clothing and I could only imagine how badly I'd survive out here in the cold.

If, I'd survive.

If.
...

I stopped myself from getting easily distracted by facing forward again while taking a slight turn to the left; I couldn't help but widen my eyes as I adjusted them to the view ahead that I hadn't fully analysed yet. The view became bigger and bigger with each step I took. I occasionally caught my breath as I hadn't run for what felt like an eternity, it even felt like there was a limit to my stamina.
I soon regained my focus of my distant destination, noticing the area the old man sat by, there was a stone, cave-like arched wall; a glowing campfire too. It appeared this man had been camping for some time. I could only imagine just how long. And why.
