the legend of zelda Age of Calamity

chapter 10 A Warrior's Appetite

The next day, Link was propped up on a stack of pillows, eagerly awaiting the meal Zelda had arranged for him. He was still pale, but his strength was returning, and he had an undeniable spark in his eyes. The door opened, and Zelda entered with a tray, laden with a spread that would rival a feast."I thought I'd bring the food myself," she said, placing the tray on a nearby table. "I know you're...hungry."Link's eyes lit up at the sight of the food—thick slices of warm bread, a bowl of steaming vegetable curry, cheese, and even a few slices of roasted meat."Thank you, Zelda!" he said, reaching hungrily for the bread. Without hesitation, he took a large bite, his eyes closing in bliss.Zelda sat nearby, amused by his enthusiasm. "I didn't realize you were *this* hungry," she said, watching as he practically inhaled the food.He grinned between bites, looking a little sheepish. "Yeah... I kind of... uh, eat a lot," he admitted, trying to brush it off casually. "I guess after a long day, or... well, a battle, I end up wanting everything."Zelda chuckled, amused but also charmed. "A big eater, are you?""Maybe just a little," he replied, trying to sound modest, though his eyes were darting to the next piece of bread. "I mean, this is only a *light* snack, really..."She laughed openly, delighted by this new insight. "I'll make sure the kitchen is stocked from now on. But don't be too surprised if I start teasing you about it."He gave her a grin as he reached for the bowl of curry. "Go ahead—I'll probably be too busy eating to notice."
