Honestly, I have no idea where the fandom's fear of the "terrible fate" line from Majora's Mask came from. I've seen people use this line to convey eeriness or unsettlement, but it doesn't make much sense to me because, genuinely, what tender words.
Think about it. Playing Majora's Mask, after Link has had his encounter with Skullkid, losing Epona, being transformed into a Deku scrub and trapped in a body that isnt his, the Happy Mask Salesman finds our Hero of Time in a state of desperation, and the first thing he says when he approaches is:
"You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?"
Like, how poetic of a line for him to say upon finding how things have ended up for Link. Those words were a fresh breath of sympathy for me as the player. How terrible of a situation for you to be in. Yes, I have met with a terrible fate, and it's nice to know that someone can see that.

God every so often I remember that Ember Lab (the ones who made Terrible Fate) have a game studio now where they work with Theophany (the ones who made Time's End) and Rozen (the ones who continue to also make beautiful LoZ covers) on OSTs for their own original content.
Like. Goddamn. Goals for real.
And if this is your first time learning that Ember Lab is a game studio now, I encourage you to check out Kena Bridge Of Spirits

Now that I'm working on Contrast, I think it's time to recirculate this masterpiece.

Hey, did you guys know I love Ember Labs, and I owe them my life– Look at the DETAIL on him.
His SKIN with all the pores and texture and his lips and freckles and the way the light hits his ears
His green eyes with the eyelashes and veins in his sclera and the radial ridges ARE YOU SERIOUS
How soft his hair looks and the fact that they actually rendered FACIAL HAIR
His OUTFIT with the metallic texture of his gold gorget and bracers and his shoes and the lining and seams, and his puffed sleeves and pants and– 💥*explodes*💥
I LOVE YOU EMBER LABS

Over YEARS of designing this character, with my developing art style, and falling in LOVE with JoJo's Linked Universe that helped inspired her final design, I finally, FINALLY started to draw her final portrait! 😁🥳
