Chapter: 2
Doubt
I knew it was stupid to hurt, and I knew it was stupid to hope, but my views were challenged by logic and were perverted by want. Reality demanded pain, and I demanded optimism. Reality wanted my pain, I wanted my wish. However, this time my desires did not fall through, A dormant ache clenched my chest, unnoticed tears fell down my face. How did I not notice this?
Excuse after excuse shattered the hope, the desire, the want that swelled my heart. Link was a child in an adult’s body - logical but unknown - Link’s probably straight - an assumption but a logical one - Link was destined for Zelda - cliché but probable. All logical statement were not exact, but my reality decided another route - questions. Who has Link been searching for and trying to rescue his entire mission? Hyrule! What gender are most of Link’s friends? Well there was Dariuna… When did Link suggest any attraction to you? Well… there was the well incident… Where did Link go first when he woke up? He was there, so why not… How long has Link had to grow up? Only a scant few months… The last question, however, hit me the hardest. Why would Link fall in love with a cryptic stranger with poetry and harp song? I had no answer, nothing to defend the want I had, the hope that filled me to fulfil my desire. Why would Link doubt Zelda’s words? Why would Link suspect that I did not hide Zelda’s figure behind my cryptic nature, short visits, and wary distance? There was no logical reason and my back slid along the wall I lingered behind.
I hurt as fresh tears slid down my cheeks. I hurt as my desire was crushed, I hurt as reality came crashing down. How could I be so stupid? I disobeyed Zelda, disobeyed myself. All due to my stupid wants, my stupid hopes, and yet they didn’t fade. I wanted to follow, I wanted to ensure, I hoped. Would Link still treat Zelda formally, would Link still reject Zelda’s offer to turn back time, would Link still reject Zelda?...Would Link wantme?
The last thought fuelled me, it challenged logic with nonsense, and it left me wanting stronger than ever.
