T4T Shink drives me crazy,,,,

If you want more context or want to know what was going through my head while making this I wrote a little thing below

Two heroes, two saviors, bound to fate and time. One raised as a fairy but discovered they’re Hylian. One raised as Hylian Royalty but adopted Sheikah culture as they got older. They are also both trans. Two heroes, two saviors, or that’s what the goddesses say they are, now isolated in a world so unfamiliar to them. One displaced through time, losing years of their life just to be a hero. One displaced from their home, losing family and friends and watching as the flames of chaos envelope everything. So in a time of despair and isolation, is it really such a bad thing to want? To crave a connection to the one person who seems just as displaced as you are. But you can’t be selfish, a hero can’t be selfish. No matter how much you crave any sort of connection, any sort of contact or bond with another person, you can’t. Despite never wanting to be the savior of the world, you also hold immense guilt that it was your fault, that it was you who led the evil to ruining the world. So as much as you want to be close to someone, you can’t. You don’t want to harm any friends you’ve made. But what if there’s someone else just like you? Someone you can reach out and touch, to touch and share a moment with the one person who is chained to the cruel fate like you are. Someone who also wears their clothes like a barrier, to hide and to keep distance. But clothes that also mean connection and honor to something now lost to time. Clothes that only show your face and your fingertips. So you reach out and touch, a touch of skin to skin to remind yourself that you are human and not alone. But a touch restricted to your fingertips, because you couldn’t dare cross the unspoken barrier and touch their face. You couldn’t risk letting yourself be happy just for a few moments because that’s not the priority of Hyrule’s saviors. You can’t be selfish in a time like this, the world is in ruin and it is all your fault. So you settle for fingertips. But even a touch between fingertips is too selfish and you feel guilty for just trying to be close to someone. So you break contact. It hurts, you are hurting yourself and your counterpart. But this is the way of the hero right? Despite the longing despite the need to just share a moment with someone in this isolating world, you’re scared. You’re scared and guilty and hurt and hesitant. These aren’t the qualities of a hero. So you let go, or that’s what you tell yourself as you head off to the next temple. But do you really let go?

#both of them being trans is so important even if I didn’t place importance on their transness in this comic #the writing thing can be read either from Sheik or Link’s POV theres a part that’s more sheik and one that’s more link #but it’s not supposed to be one or the other it’s supposed to be both #OUGHHH AHHHHH AHHHHGHHHH I love shink i love ocarina of time SO MUCH #i love you oot link i love you sheik T-T-T_T_T_T_TT_T_T_T_ #tloz #loz #oot #ocarina of time #pumpkinsouppe #shink #sheik #oot link #link oot #oot sheik #Navi #the legend of zelda #legend of zelda
