the sweetest smile

i always found it hilarious in the tp manga how during the death mountain sumo fights it was actually Midna saving Link's ass unlike in the game where he's just some freak that can toss gorons down mountains LOOL

One of my favourite parts of Link's characterization in the tp manga is that he values his purpose & sees his worth apart from his destiny. He's self aware, has insecurities & after accepting his role as the hero he's not about blindly devoting his entire life to the royal family

context: the girl is Himekawa's original character, Anika, the last survivor of an abandoned village (reminiscent of the hidden village). She helps Link recover after a near death experience & he helps her face the traumas that have haunted her. In a sense they save each other

Link Ashei 🤝 bonding over their ability to kill each other if they wanted
