Summary
“I haven’t…” she starts, watches his blue eyes narrowed in concern and it’s distracting, everything’s distracting. “I haven’t had a body in a hundred years,” Zelda manages, and shrugs one shoulder, as if to say what can you do? “I was Hylia, mostly, and a little bit me, but I wasn’t a person. I was the sun and the wind and the water and the dirt and I was in a prison and I was the prison. I feel like I’m blindfolded, now, without that sense of the world, but also everything is so bright and loud and close and I hardly know how I’m managing to speak to you when my skin is feeling wind for the first time in a century. It’s…” she trails off, her words failing her, which is infuriating because she’s a scholar, she’s good at words. “It’s a lot,” she finishes awkwardly, for lack of anything better to say.
Or: Learning to be a person again, after the end.

Summary
"The little differences began to slip through the cracks as they slowly grew more comfortable around each other after so long apart.
Everything he did, every swing of his sword, every step, every breath, seemed to drip with a sense of hesitancy that she would have never expected from him. One hundred years ago, the rush of a fight seemed like it was the only thing that lifted the weight of his burdens from his shoulders. Now, Zelda can see it: there is no joy in his movement.
Two, he does not sleep. It seemed as though he was content to simply sit next to her as she slept. What he did during that time, she did not know. All she knew was that he was awake when she fell asleep, and that he was always waiting for her to wake up."
After spending so long trapped in a state between life and death, Zelda is ready to move on. She longs for normalcy, and is ready to spend the rest of her life reconnecting with Link. She's sure that, aside from the first few hiccups along the way, things between them can go back to how they used to be.
It's never that easy.
