THE MASTER SWORD was such a good chapter I can’t. Quentin knowing what to do because of Arn. Zigi the korok? The fight scene? You always say you’re not good at action but you’re so good! I loved so much that Quentin told Link he loved him just then. The ultimate way he could support him is to love him. SO GOOD.

IM SO GLAD YOU LIKED IT KATIE! I also think it’s sad that Link always has such little family in most of the games - so I really wanted to explore that idea that he’s someone’s son as much as it was natural to do so.

Hahaha so glad you've pointed that out!!!

So this was definitely not always the case - their first kiss has changed so much from when I first started writing. My first image of their first kiss was going to be at the peak of Satori Mountain. There was literally no reason for this other than it was pretty, and I think I tried to foreshadow it once, maybe, in a very early chapter (can't remember if I ever included it or not) but when I started thinking logistically, it just didn't work. As pretty as it would have been.

Then, I wanted it to be at the castle. It was going to be after Link got the sword, but quite honestly that felt so far away, and I was tired of overthinking. So I had to think about another way to go about it. I stopped thinking about the landscape of it, but the emotion. I knew I wanted it to happen soon after I wrote the first courting scene.
