Within the pages of a lost journal lies Link's hidden side: a young man who, beyond the sword and the silence the world sees, confesses his doubts, fears, and forbidden feelings.
Amid the routines of castle life, his memories as an apprentice, the weight of bearing the Master Sword, and his unshakable loyalty to Zelda, emerges a vulnerable, human portrait of the hero.
This journal does not recount battles, but rather the events and anecdotes of this particular bearer of the legendary blade-stories far deeper than anything he could ever put into words.

I was still using this odd script style before transitioning to a more normal novel writing style. I hope this clears up any confusion.) (Other A/N: None of the artwork here is mine.
