botw Zora armour for the prompt?
(@wildsage00 @artisticgamer @luckybyrdrobyn)
Link wasn't sure what he had been expecting upon entering a divine beast for the first time, but it wasn't this.
Maybe he'd been expecting something akin to the shrines. Stale and warm at the same time, strange but familiar. He'd woken up in a shrine, it was the first imprint of the world that he had. As much as he loved the villages and the wilds, the shrines were somehow the most familiar things to him. That didn't necessarily make them homely, but... routine, perhaps, was a good word.
But he knew the divine beasts were cursed with the calamity's malice, he knew they'd be something to conquer rather than solve. So maybe he'd suspected a place filled with traps and danger, a place that felt terrifying or thrilling or unsafe.
Instead, it felt cold and haunting. Instead, it was damp and chilled not only his body but his soul. Instead, it made the armor he wore stick to him like skin, scales digging into his chest with a sharpness and pressure that stole his breath away.
Instead, it felt like a mausoleum.
He had barely stepped into the beast when he heard a voice whispering in his mind. It was eerily familiar, making his skin crawl and his heart beat harder and faster. An image of the statue came to mind, and his entire being screamed.
Mipha.
Hylia above. He heard Mipha.
He could see her in every corner of the beast, he could envision her pain and terror with every touch of malice that entered his sight. She'd smile around one corner, showing him what her divine beast could do, and then he'd turn another corner and find a piece of the calamity's horrors staring at him, startling him out of the memory and into action. Her voice cheered him on, guiding him through the beast, and he couldn't help but hope beyond all measure that somehow she was still alive, that this wasn't a spirit but just her using the beast to communicate with him while being held hostage, just as Zelda was doing from the castle.
His mind could barely remember her, but his heart ached for her nonetheless.
He wanted a piece of himself back. Zora's Domain had been the first true piece of his old self that had smacked him in the face. Everyone here knew him, knew him, knew the Hero of a hundred years ago, the person he was supposed to be.
And Mipha...
Link's hand rested over the centerpiece of his armor, over the scale Mipha had given to protect him. For a moment he could feel a smooth palm on his cheek, he could feel thin fingers caress through his hair, nails gently massaging his scalp. He shivered, hugging himself.
Please be alive. I'm coming, Mipha.

if a right-handed animorph morphed a left-handed person (or vice versa), would they still be right-handed?
Hmmmmm. Someone who knows more kinesiology than me will probably disagree, but. I'd venture: if Cassie's a lefty and morphs Rachel who's a righty, then she'd probably have a stronger right than left hand in that morph, but might be better at doing things lefthanded than real-Rachel would. If someone throws a baseball at Cassie-in-morph, she'll be faster at getting her left hand up to catch it than real-Rachel would be and clumsier at actually catching it than unmorphed-Cassie would be.
Based on what little I do know, handedness is very set in most adults but more flexible the younger a kid is, and some people are more flexible than others. For example, a lot of kids switch between hands when first learning to write, and the practice of teachers simply telling everyone to use their right hands led a decent percent of kids with potential for left-hand dominance or ambidexterity to spend so much time writing righty they eventually became right-hand dominant over the years. There are also people like me who are right-hand dominant but can comfortably eat/clean/throw lefty if needed, and even write neatly with the off hand. There are also people like my former roomie who can't even get a good grip on a pen or spoon with their left hands, no matter what. There are even people like my uncle who - following a bout of meningitis, or possibly the anesthesia during surgery - switch hand dominance as teenagers.
So. I think lefty-Cassie's mind would be used to doing things lefty, and would have the potential to teach a Rachel-morph to become more ambidextrous over many many hours. But I also think righty-Rachel's physical brain would have more circuits connecting the pathways for doing things righty, and more muscle memory for being righty. And if Cassie used that morph enough, she might become an eensy bit more ambidextrous over the first several years' worth of morph time. But it'd probably depend on whether either of them has my style of hand dominance (where I'll eat or write lefty any time my right hand's occupied) or my roomie's style (where the left hand is barely used) or somewhere in between.
