Ok, I already reblogged a post and said this but I know the zelink shippers would appreciate an own post about this, so here we go.

This is the German localization of Tears of the Kingdom. It's the last dragon tear, the moment just before Zelda's dragonification.

In English she says just before she gives up herself for (as far as she knows) forever,

"You must..."

In German, she says,

"Für dich..." which means "For you..."

A very, very different meaning and vibe, don't you agree? And the German voice actor, Julia Casper, manages to captivate such a bandwidth of emotions in two words that it still gives me chills. 👌🏻

#totk spoilers #totk spoiler #Totk #zelink #legend of zelda #i have so many thoughts #Zelda would never ever say 'you must' to Link in a situation like this #She knows how he suffered under the pressure of the kingdom 110 years ago #She wouldn't dream to put him in the same position #That doesn't contradict that he's their last hope because he kinda is #But she would not say you must #The way Julia Casper breathes 'Für dich' leaves no room for imagination #It is the desparate act of a lover trying to save everything even if it means losing herself #The Japanese original might be worth a separate post but I don't speak Japanese
