[Open] New Tick event log
WHO: Link and you!
WHERE: The Glitter Food, Noth, the Agrii ship
WHAT: Link returns, zoops through the floor, gets some gifts, and runs around as a kid
WHEN: Just before and during the New Tick event
WARNINGS: None so far
i. A quiet return
For a few days - ever since his desperate post on the Network, looking for Zelda - Link was nowhere to be seen. He was simply gone.
It won't be until they're on the Glitter Food that people might even realise that Link is back at all. But he is, and there's been a few changes. He's noticeably older now, having gone from his late teens to somewhere in his early to mid twenties (give or take a hundred years).
And then there's the arm.
With the warm winter clothes everyone is wearing, only the hand is visible. But the skin on his right hand is now midnight black, with long claw-like fingernails. Strange copper-coloured bars wrap around it in intricate patterns, while on his fingers are thick jade rings adored with mysterious symbols.
As they make their journey, it's not hard to run into this older Link as he wonders around the ship, quietly looking at everything. Like he hasn't seen it for a while, and is reminding himself what it looks like.
ii. Lullaby for Zelda
Usually, the one barging into other people's homes unannounced is Link. But this time, it's a four armed pink and purple robot, somehow carrying a gift that is as big as Link into his cabin.
Link's not used to be the one barged in on. It's a bit of a strange experience.
He's even more surprised to open the gift, and find a Goddess Statue. Just like the ones back in Hyrule. And in her hands, another small gift. But this time, it's something he doesn't recognise - a small instrument. And yet, it's...familiar. He knows this.
Fragments of memories flicker through his mind. In the years since he was last year, his memory isn't as blank as it once was. An ocarina. His ocarina, from when he was a child. That's what this is.
Holding it carefully, he goes outside the cabin. Sits down on the open threshold. And begins to play a song, one that reminds him of Zelda.
iii. Eating mysterious foods never ends in tears...right? [closed to Keith]
It takes very little time for Link to eat the gelt.
There's sweets, in his cabin. Of course he's going to eat them! And not just some of them, but all of them. So now Link's made another drastic change...if one in the other direction.
So now there's a small, blonde, pointy-earned child instead of a young man with a strange arm. But he doesn't know where he is. This isn't his house. This isn't his town. There's strange looking creatures outside, which normally Link would be oh so curious about, but...where's his family? Where's his Mama, and his Papa, and his baby sister?
He'd wondered, trying to find them. But the longer he looks, the more he realises that they're not here. And as Link realises that he's lost, and alone, the only thing left to do is start to cry.
iv. Tears over, time for exploring
Once Link knew that this was just a temporary thing - just a short magical trip, after which he'd soon be back again - his mood had quickly improved. Because now he wasn't lost, he was on an adventure! He's in this amazing weird place, and Link's going to run all over and explore all of it.
Young Link takes the Sword that was in his Cabin with him. He doesn't know why it was there, but he feels weirdly compelled to take it with him even though it's bigger than he is. Like it wants him to carry it. But even with the Sword, he still manages to clamber into some strange places - up in trees, on top of buildings. Apparently, Link's tendency to climb everything started early.
He also spends a lot - emphasis on a lot of time at the pseudo-gingerbread cafeteria. He's goes at the food-laden tables like a Labrador, and seems utterly unphased by the fact that everything tastes like peanut butter.
Finally, he can also often by found by the Temba Fountain Tree, playing the ocarina once more - although this time, it's with a rather jauntier tune.
iv. The best way to explore is through the floor
Link, thankfully, does not remain a child forever. And when he's back to normal, he finds his way onto the Agrii ship, dutifully holding out his communicator to have a map added.
When it comes to exploring, however, Link is rather less dutiful. If he comes across a locked door - or even if he decides he just can't be bothered getting to somewhere interesting the long way - he decides to take a shortcut or two. Namely, by...phasing through the floor?
Who needs stairs, when you can just Ascend through the ceiling?
And surely the Agrii won't mind, if he manages to accidentally pop into any of their private residences. So when he wriggles through the floor, and hops up right next to an unsuspecting Agrii or fellow He Row, Link just waves his odd right arm, and says, "Hi."
