@skyward-floored saw your tags on this post, was debating about sharing but I guess I could really quick if you want to hear,,, uhh gosh ik it's a little silly tho so putting everything under the read more akskdkk

Uhh so,, I guess its probably cause I've been dead tired w school, but the concept was a Link w a sleeping curse like Zelda was put under in Adventure of Link. Thought was that it's slowly taking hold of him, draining him like a poison and like,, he's legit the hero of courage and only one that can save the kingdom but every day hes just feeling more and more tired but afraid to rest and sleep when he's not sure he'll be able to wake up. (I mean short and sweet relief tho every time he either caves and rests or collapses and wakes up, but only makes him more anxious wondering if next time he won't.)

Have a couple more notes about him and how things would go down so I'll drop them here quick too ajsjd

So to start wanna say he was cursed because he was able to advise the royal family w prophetic dreams (thank you triforce of courage) and was lowkey the ace up their sleeve during a turbulent time in the kingdom. An enemy snuck into the castle to curse Link that way would potentially cripple the kingdom. Not only would the crown lose the insight they have from him, but it would also be a slap to the royal family's face and image to lose their hero to the very thing that was his strength. In a way it sends a pretty powerful and lethal message, to be forced to look on as a curse slowly eats at his mind and body like a poison before they lose him entirely to the realm of dreams.

Uhh second thought is that under normal circumstances Link is rather quick thinking and clever, able to problem solve on his feet. Quick mind, quick wit and a charming personality, he's adjusted fairly well to working in the castle for a guy who's come from nowhere. Sleep deprivation has him really struggling with all of this tho and decision making in general is getting harder as his mind gets foggier

Last thought is that Link and Zelda had gotten to know each other and become close since he's been working at the castle and neither are ready to let the kingdom go down w/o a fight,,, Link's determined to help fight the coming threat cause he knows as a holder of the triforce hes the only one who can, but w his brain and body becoming more compromised every day its more dangerous than ever to go alone. Can see that Zel (out of duty to her kingdom and concern for Link) sneaks out of the castle to act as his companion and lend him aid in trying to stop whatever threat the kingdom is facing and find a cure before its too late.
