Do you think that after the panic from getting teleported, from the last few seconds slipping through his fingers, Link opened his eyes, squinting at the harsh sunlight and only able to see the vague outline of a giant tree casting shade over a landscape of green and playing children
For just a moment he untensed, for the first time in a long time he forgot where he was and smiled, until his eyes cleared and he saw it for what it really was
A world too unreal to be real, like looking at a child's drawing of a place instead of seeing it
Do you think he felt guilty, about relaxing in that moment
Do you think he faltered when the children came into view, as he stepped closer
Do you think he felt a twisted kinship with Majora, The child who was different, left out as his peers played in the sun
Do you think he saw the other Kokiri in the four children
Did he shamefully recall Fado as Odolwa mused, one who had always been friendly to him but spat venom when he let her guardian die, the only Kokiri to warn him of the dangers of the lost woods, did his betrayal hit her hard, did she sit after he left and think over every interaction with him, did she think he didn't see her as a friend
Did he remember three brothers when Goht asked, wanting for knowledge about things they shouldn't know, and knowing things they could never understand, hungry but sheltered in the forests branches, never able to understand the knowledge they had
Did he think of Mido when Gyorg spoke, desperately grasping for the right thing, for leadership, for the ability to make sure the other Kokiri stayed happy
Did he think of Saria at Twinmolds words, forced to wear the mask of a leader, of a sage, of a protector when she was just as young as the children around her
Did he accept that mask from Majora because he saw a fragment of himself in the mask, playing at heros and villains, did he see himself as bad for running that first time and every time after it, did he see himself as bad even now, still running to get away from the fate bearing down on his shoulders as it followed him anyways?

I have Thalassophobia but I'm so deeply fascinated by deep sea creatures and giants but there is no way you'll talk me into putting my head under water in a bath tub or going further than my knees in the sea.

DYK..
ghost sharks have long tapering bodies and incredibly large heads. their skin ranges in color from black to pale blue to brownish grey and is quite smooth. they have large eyes, oversized nostrils, and large, visible teeth, which give them a rabbit-like appearance, though within their mouths are three tooth plates.
ghost sharks have mineralized tooth plates. they use these teeth to crush mollusks and worms, making for an interesting diet.
ghost sharks primarily caught as bycatch. while their meat is edible, the majority of their commercial value comes from their livers, which contain an oil known as squalene that's used in a wide variety of cosmetic and pharmaceutical products.

Some thoughts on Frilled Jellyfish (this gets long feel free to ignore if you don't wanna hear my rambling-- also of course 100% my opinion).
Frilled Jellyfish's subsequent revival actually had build up and is kinda genius in retrospect. One of her quotes are "they say jellyfish live forever...". Thats a bit of lore that I even caught onto early they wouldn't bring up for no reason. They wanted to do an angst thing between these two, and I knew there would be a caveat to that 'live forever' thing too. As there's never not one.
It is one of the true tragedies of this story-- the fact that this was one of Pearl's final breaking points and the reason she can *never* forgive Loyster. His betrayal of her (even though he was manipulated) brought destruction to her home and led to the presumed death of someone so close to her.
Frilled also kinda serves as a foil to Loyster as... she hurt her in some ways, that much is true. Frilled Jellyfish said something that triggered and of course upset her deeply. But Frilled not only immediately realized this, she went out of her way to listen and stand with Pearl as she decided to defend her home (even if selflessness like this led to her eventual harm). Rather than trying to stop her and do 'what's best for her' still. As oppose to Loyster who, even as he tried to apologize, he was doing it on his terms and in the way that he felt was best. He wanted her to leave with him, leave the home she cared about, her sisters lived in, and that he was (even unintentionally) responsible for leading to the destruction of.

Yes I did finally finish totk and can finally watch all the theory videos
I've been seeing alot of the idea that, while you completely forget who you are when you become a dragon there's this idea that your last thoughts become like your core
Zelda wanted to help Link, she is the only dragon completely passive to Link and helps you during the final fight
Ganon wanted to kill Link, and well, boss fight ensues
Been thinking many thoughts about Farosh, Dinraal and Naydra and who became them
Do you think their last thoughts were to protect the land? Did Farosh live right by a lake? Living with a nomadic tribe that changed which shores they lived by as food or seasons moved? Did she ever see the Gerudo? Have trade with them in the tougher months that they spent in the highlands? Did Dinraal live on death mountain or around it? In fertile ground perfect for farming, was she an explorer? A pilgrim? Does her flight path to the forgotten temple mean she saw it in her lifetime? Or is something in her she can't remember her drawing her to the ancient temple? Was Nayra a spiritual person? Spending her time at the goddess touched springs and holy pilgrimage routes, was she born in Hateno and look down at the town tucked at the bottom of her mountain as she prayed? Or was she born further north? Close enough to the Zora to be under their royal laws? To know how sacred and important water was? To see first hand what happens when Hyrules main water source freezes over?
Did living under the Thunderhead Isles bring down an endless thunderstorm on Farosh's lakes? Electrifying the water and killing all the fish
Did the lake basin supplying Hyrules rivers freeze? Was Nayra asked to pray desperately to an unhearing goddess at the frozen mountains peak for salvation, answers, anything at all?
Did death mountain erupt endlessly? Scorching the farming lands and causing widespread famine?
Did these three, who had some power, and a sacred stone, did they make the ultimate sacrifice to save their lands? Immortalizing their last thoughts of protection forever in a dragon watching overhead for eternity?
