shadow and zelda were literally sooooo funny nobody understands how much their final interaction makes me lose it. zelda was like "idk yknow i just really think you could be a good guy if you wanted. just saying." and then she gets fucking kidnapped by the dark cloud and shadow is IMMEDIATELY like Thank You For Saying Something Nice To Me. I Will Now Kill Myself To Save You. and then he doesn't even stay dead

#the thing about shadow is that he doesn't quite understand what love is at all and yet he is so full of it that he #attaches himself like a leech to anybody who acknowledges his existence as a person #like he is absolutely a villain who worked so very hard on his crimes and had an absolute blast doing them. but his loyalties were swayed #the moment he started considering vio a friend. and they changed permanently the second he was dragged out of the mirror by ganon #while begging him to not have to go back out into the light (which of course ganon denied) and zelda looked down at him all sopping wet and #pathetic and still told him she thought he was a hero too. despite everything.#and in that moment whether zelda knew it or not she became shadow's friend. and what is shadow willing to do for his friends #as evidenced by his 'friendship' with vio? overthrow ganon and vaati both. and what is he willing to do for someone who was #genuinely and truly kind to him even when by all rights they shouldn't be (ESPECIALLY when he's as weak and vulnerable as he was at that #moment)? overthrow ganon and vaati by Any Means Necessary.#what does it matter if he dies? zelda told him he was a hero too and if she believes in him then that's all the encouragement he needs #to actually act as one.#anyway. flailing around like a fish out of water. do you see how funny they are #fsa #txt
