Okay, this? This? Freaking amazing. I don't think I even have an icon or animated gif that can accurately describe this. I have swear words, but I'll refrain from posting those.

But in short, I love this. Really, really, love this. The italics, and memories of the past, and Link's journey through Koholint and how it all tied together; I am just overflowing with love for how beautiful and melancholy and philosophical it all is. Just, gah. Also with hope that you have written other things, because damn. You have a great writing style.

Okay that wasn't short at all. But thank you for writing this and for posting it; it is going in my favorites folder forever. :3

Wow. This was so amazingly beautiful and thought-provoking. I especially admire how seamlessly you weave the memories of Link's other incarnations and his own life and Koholint together. I also love this bit at the end:

"…But was I the Wind Fish, dreaming of Link?" Oshus frowns. "Or was I Link, dreaming of the Wind Fish?"

That, along with pretty much everything else in the story, really just had me sit there and think.

Kudos, my friend. I so wish I had just a fraction of your amazing writing skills.
