What if Twilight/Wolf link had opposable thumbs in his Wolf form?

I know you're probably imagining something cursed, but I used this as an opportunity to practice a slight Disney-ification of Wolf Link

My wolf skills are a bit rusty

Yeah, ocarina of time remake is cool and all but Nintendo pls consider….puppy…..

for @jasperjpg2's prompt! And thanks to the mods of team wisdom for running the minigame a wrote this for! If you're wondering where the random backpack came from it was that - I was meaning to elaborate but... this is all it is for now

“It’s just, it’s lonely out here, by myself.” Link wasn’t sure if the wolf was coming back or not, but he couldn’t help wanting to get this out. If it was still close it’d hear.

“And I.. was thinking, I wish I could have someone else here. Because it’s so… they expect so much from me, and I’m just a guy! Some guy, who doesn’t even know who he is, how the world works, and I’m just stumbling through it all, not knowing how it works and… It’d be nice to have some help sometimes.”

He’d set his eyes to where the wolf had left him, still awaiting his return despite it all.

“And I suppose you're not human, can’t talk either, so I guess you can’t help in that way. But like, at least when it all goes wrong, it’d be nice to have someone to talk to.”

“And at least you won’t look at me funny when I start climbing everything, or eat some stuff, like everyone else does. They act like I’m a freak sometimes. But your the same as me! Or at least… it feels that way, in my heart. Something just tells me your just as much as an outcast as me. We could stick together, maybe.”

It was probably futile. He was just talking to the air at this point.

But it was a nice idea, at least.

He stands up slowly, trying his best not to be disappointed at the wild animal, getting ready to make his way along his path again. There’s always something to be doing, he shouldn’t stay here.

He’s stopped by a rustle of the bushes behind him. His heart leaps up at his throat a little, but he tries to push it down. It’s probably just a squirrel or fox running through the bushes. They do that.

Still his traitorous heart beats.
