I have removed the Link Between Worlds Characters, I'm changing it and it will be back up shortly.

Link's pov:

Adrenaline coursed through my veins are a fierce rate. As I stilled I began to shake. The unused energy coursing through me. I could feel blood running down my leg. But the pain was washed away by everything else, for now. The sword I didn't even know how to proper handle was held tightly in my fists. At the otherside of the small room. Stood Yuga, he was in worse shape then me. Arrows stuck out of his clothes. "Return everyone back to normal Yuga!" I yelled, once again feeling anger rush through me.

"You filthy pest! You refuse to begone. So I'll get rid of you another way." His scepter's flame grew, I could feel the magic in the air. That's bad, I wasn't trained to sense that, yet I could. I fell into a stance I've seen a guard do. Trying to prepare for whatever he had in store for me. "Have fun you meddling pest!" Yuga laughed, that insane psychotic laugh. Just hearing it sent shivers down my spine. The room took a red hue, and a bright light blue wall formed infront of Yuga.

With a wave of his hand, the barrier rushed towards me. Every piece of me was screaming to move, to run. This is what happened to Selna! Why wasn't I moving?! The barrier slammed into me. Taking me with it. I tried to brace for the wall that was undoubtedly comming. But it never came. Where the wall should've been. I felt like I was going through honey, or Chu Chu slime. It was thick, I couldn't breath. The weight of the barrier disappeared, the adrenalin in me turned to dread.

I tried to moved, but my body refused to respond. But I could still hear and see. I could hear Yuga's laugh, it sent shivers down my spine. He walked up to me, no even concerned. "You even make an ugly painting. Such a waste of space, even for a wall." I wanted to scream, but nothing worked. Panic built it's way through me. I couldn't move! I couldn't do anything! I couldn't let Yuga take away Selna! I had to do something! Yuga left making an exit before blocking it off again.

'There's nothing I can do..... is there?' I wanted to cry, to something! I let everyone down.... I'm a failure. I did the one thing I could do, I closed my eyes. When I felt something pulsing against my wrist. My eyes flew open as. The bracelet..... the one that werid guy, Ravio, gave me. It's.... it's glowing? I felt a surge of power flow through me. The familiar honey like feeling passed over me again. But instead of going deeper, I felt like I was comming to the surface.

The feeling passed suddenly. I fell to the floor, scraping my hands and knees, before I could even scream. Pain washed over me suddenly. And so did reality. I was a painting.... I was a painting! Panic flew over me, sending me reeling from the wall that just contained me. I stopped at the middle of the room, as far from any walls as possible. As I pulled my knees to my chest, my gaze landed on the bracelet. It stopped glowing. But that didn't stop me from tearing it off my wrist and throwing it away from me.

I was out of the wall but I still couldn't breath. I scratched at my chest as I desperately tried to breath. But it felt like I was underwater. I felt something hot run down my face. My one hand instantly went to wipe to away. To come away bloody. Air finally came to me. Only to leave me screaming. I clutched my hair trying to figure things out. "I-I... I was a painting? B-But the.... the b-bracelet s-saved me?" How? Did Ravio know about it this? Is that why he gave it to me? But how.... how would he know? He couldn't, he would've? Right?

The crack in the wall let in some orangish light from outside. It must be sunset. It was afternoon went I came in here. Gulley must be getting worried about me. I.... I needed to move. But... the idea terrified me. "I-I need to move.... I need to tell someone what happened..." I forced myself onto shaky legs. I needed to tell someone, but first I needed to get out of here. I cautiously came towards the wall and where I threw the bracelet. Ravio would flip if he found out I left his bracelet.

I kept an eye on the wall as if it'd swallow me again. As soon as I was close, I snagged the bracelet. Quickly moving to where the middle of the room again. I knew I was safe there..... at least I hope I am. My hands shook as I looked over the bracelet. It changed, it was once dusty but now it shined. The material seemed like stone, but now it was gold. The eye glowed a bright purple with a red iris staring back at me.

I swallowed the lump forming in my throat. I struggled to reattach the thing to my wrist again. Once my sweaty and shaking fingers finally clasped the bracelet onto my wrist. I once more felt power flow through me. It wasn't as strong but definitely still there. Now that was done, I unfortunately had to reaproach the wall. The crack was my only bet. If I couldn't get out there, I'd die here.

Despite that, I still inched towards the wall. I really didn't want to go there. But what choice did I have. I would never see walls the same again after this. The idea of being near one was terrifying. I hesitantly reached for the stone. Immediately flinching as my hand brushed against the cool stone.... No honey feeling. That's good... I hope.

The power from the bracelet seemed to grow stronger. I immediately retracted my hand as it grew. Once my fingertips left the stone, the power stopped again. 'Touch it... it's oh kay. Trust me, trust it.' Something inside of me whispered. I glanced around, desperate for an exit to appear. But no such thing appeared. I had no choice. I reluctantly reached out again. My eyes widened in fear as the bracelet glowed again. And that moving through honey feeling returned once more.

I tried to scream again. Surprised as the scream ripped through me. I opened my eyes to see my hands infront of me. Shaking like there's no tomorrow, but there. I could move. I could get out of here. I felt the power surge through me, growing weaker. I had to move now! I ran towards the crack. It felt like I was waist deep in mud, but I could move. I just barely managed to pass through the crack when the power faded completely. I was shoved out again.

So I'm not sure if you knew this but, you can transform into a painting in ALBW. And this was loosingly based off of the first time. And something I've had in my head since I've first played that game. The latest was 2020 but probably around 2019. I don't remember the exact date I started ALBW. So yeah Link has trauma from walls now, but he gets used to it. Next up is floors :D!
