Heavy In Your Arms by Florence + the Machine as a Zelink animatic:
(It fits them perfectly! Also this is Day 1 of my 30 days of Zelink songs posts, which is where I’ll be posting a song that shows Link and Zelda’s relationship every day for a month. Yes this is to help me survive until TOTK.)
I was a heavy heart to carry
My beloved was weighed down
My arms around his neck
My fingers laced a crown
-Zelda as a young child, learning the full responsibility that comes with her bloodline
I was a heavy heart to carry
My feet dragged across the ground
And he took me to the river
Where he slowly let me drown
-Rhoam taking Zelda to countless springs and holy sites to pray as she grows older
My love has concrete feet
My love’s an iron ball
Wrapped around your ankles
Over the waterfall
I’m so heavy, heavy
Heavy in your harms
-Then the pre chorus and chorus would just show how Zelda feels like her fathers love is a burden that chains her to her duty
And is it worth the wait
All this killing time?
Are you strong enough to stand
Protecting both your heart and mine?
-the whole country waiting on Zelda to access her powers / how people expect Link to “make up” for her supposed failure and the burden this places on him
Who is the betrayer?
Who’s the killer in the crowd?
The one who creeps in corridors and doesn’t make a sound?
-Link saving Zelda from the Yiga
Then the second pre chorus and chorus would be Link and Zelda’s developing relationship and the way they grow from burdening each other to sharing burdens
This will be my last confession
“I love you” never felt like any blessing
-Zelda finally realizing how she feels about her father (possibly alternating with scenes from the Calamity coming to emphasize the feeling of finality)
Whispering like it’s a secret
Only to condemn the one who hears it
With a heavy heart
Link and Zelda running from the calamity, probably both the Zelda sobbing in Link’s arms scene and the scene where Zelda is begging Link to run
And then the beat drop is her finally unlocking her powers to protect Link
The time after the best drop is Zelda carrying Link to the Shrine of Resurrection / her walk to Hyrule castle, alone, bloody, and determined
This contrasts with a scene of Rhoam looking up in the moments before his death to see Zelda’s power illuminating the sky
I was a heavy heart to carry
My beloved was weighed down
My arms around his neck
My fingers laced a crown
-Zelda sealing Calamity Ganon away
I was a heavy heart to carry
But he never let me down
When he had me in his arms
My feet never touched the ground
-Link coming and defeating calamity Ganon
And THEN the final lyrics are Link and Zelda’s iconic final shot in the field of Silent Princesses / ending with Link carrying Zelda bridal style with her smiling happily up at him

Ultimately a very nothing thought, but I feel like Shidou and Mahiru should get together. Not just because of the whole, he saved her, tho thats neat too-
But I believe theyre both disasters regarding love separately, but if they were together, they would become Somehow Functional. And somehow get better! Eventually...
Shidou can give Mahiru access to therapy due to his doctor connections c: understanding and patient support, and Mahiru can give Shidou someone who will love him wholeheartedly without much complicated feel badness because shes Very Eager And Open to someone with atrocities as long as theres love c:.
And with that, they can hopefully both move on from the experiences that brought them to Milgram.
