"Cmon..... You're almost there.... Just a few more steps...." Giggled a certain hylian from afar.
His prey, a silver bokoblin, was about to step onto his cleverly built, leaf-covered, pit trap. With just a few more steps, he could soon rush into their camp and steal what valuables they had without the silver bokoblin overpowering him. He brought his special bow and everything! Link just knew it was 100% foolproof!
"LINK!"
Almost 100% foolproof.
The earth shook as his mother's hooves trampled violently against the ground.
Upon hearing the impending doom, the silver bokoblin immediately dropped its weapons and ran back to its camp.
"MOM! YOU RUINED MY PLAN!" Link whined.
The Lynel mother simply huffed in annoyance.
"Reckless you are! You are causing unwanted tension between the neighboring camps! Just the other day I had to fight an entire clans worth of bokoblins and moblins because of your little 'pranks'." She snarled.
Link stubbornly looked away and stamped his feet in frustration, a bad habit he unknowingly learned from his beastly mother.
"You're no fun. Besides they're not that smart! I've seen how those hhh-hhhyli-hyylian creatures act and how they dress! Those bokoblins and moblins don't know the difference between me and a stupid hhh-hhyllian! A simple trap can bring them all down! All I gotta do is just lure them in, no problem! And I can fight a few of them if they don't make it in the trap!"
"But that's the issue- You can only fight a FEW! And if you keep pissing them off, more and more will come that not even your little traps will be able to stop them and save you!" She roared back.
Link looked down in defeat. His best traps could at most capture 4 bokoblins or 2 moblins and they took a lot of time and effort to make, as well as planning on how to lure said monster in trap. If there were anything more added to it, everything could fall apart very easily. If everything were to fall apart it could- no WOULD lead to imminent death.
Still, Link wasn't going to admit his mother was correct and proceeded to stamp his feet like a young child would do when they're throwing a tantrum. A young, feral, child. Which wasn't too far off, in the Lynel's eyes that is.
The mother sighed, knowing that her son was just as stubborn as her.
She ruffled Link's hair with her hand and then coaxed him to come back home.
He begrudgingly obliged.

(Yes these chapters are short, mainly bc I'm trying to build up I guess....? I really hope you like this. It's suppose to be an insight on what kind of character Link is in this story. Smart but doesn't always think ahead and it very stubborn. Prolly how I played Link in BOTW tbh. I would LOVE messing around with the NPCs and just seeing how they would react! So yeah, Link may not have some sadistic tendencies later on, I'll just pretend it's part of being raised as a Lynel hehehehe. Comment what you think and more to come!! Chapter pic is drawn by me)
