#I will cry at all the temples though bc I am so awful at puzzles pls I am so dumb

Me before completing the forest temple: okay I get that ocarina of time is fun and nostalgic for people but it’s a bit of a stretch to call it one of the greatest video games of all time

Me after completing the forest temple: By revealing that Link is not a Kokiri, but a Hylian, the game effectively strips him of his humble origins amongst a group of people that already fail to recognize him in his adult form. Thus, kokiri village instantly becomes a location that is no longer Link’s home in any sense, exacerbated by the fact that the game now loads up in the temple of time instead of Link’s bedroom— he is a stranger in the only place that has ever been familiar to him and he is depressingly reduced to his destiny alone. However, the subsequent introduction of the time travel mechanic, which allows the player to travel from the horrific apocalyptic future back to the idyllic past of Link’s childhood, gives new meaning to the idea of this “destiny”. In effect, Link is not a stock “chosen one”, but a protagonist who consciously decides to fight onwards. Link’s dual existence as a child who knows the grim future and as an adult who was powerless to stop disaster gives a sort of desperation to his character, because while it brings the player relief to revisit the Castle Town that is populated by cheerful villagers instead of lurking zombies, the story can only be progressed through the acknowledgement of reality — the decision to make those seven years pass again. Therefore, both the player and Link as a character must be proactive in their heroism and make the conscious choice to struggle onwards despite the darkness that permeates—

#veesaysthings #ocarina of time #fantasy story: yeah the protagonist can never go home again. Me: OH MY GOD THEY CAN NEVER GO HOME AGAIN #Im dearly sorry for all the Zelda posts #I’m getting my shit rocked by ocarina for real #(no spoilers I literally JUST got to this point in the game) #thank you so much to my friend who is forcing me to play this #I will cry at all the temples though bc I am so awful at puzzles pls I am so dumb

i think ALL wlws want to be topped by robin you are correct skdjsj anygay may i request something where robin and the reader have to fake date bc robin told steve she was dating someone

“You know,” Steve started causing Robin to roll her eyes immediately. “You bother me about not having a girlfriend, but do you even have a girlfriend?” He turned his head towards Robin watching the appalled look spread across her face. He quickly retracted his statement as he held his hands up in a level of defense. “I’m just saying, you bother me about striking out, but I don’t see you trying.” Steve said snarkily. Robin’s jaw dropped as she blinked blankly at Steve. 

“Oh, I have a girlfriend.” Robin said, letting out a snort of a laugh. She wracked her brain for a moment, trying to find an appropriate answer or more so an appropriate fake girlfriend. She short circuited as she thought of the few girls in her life before she landed on you. “Y/N.” She coughed out trying to sound confident. Steve ceased in his movements as he looked at Robin. “Y/N? As in the girl who works at Merry-Go-Round and comes in to order the USS Butterscotch with caramel?” Steve’s hand fell on his hip. “Yep, that’s her.” Robin continued working as she avoided Steve’s eye contact. “No offense, but I’ll believe it when I see it.” He shook his head as he went back to taking orders.

Robin rubbed her temples in the backroom as she debated how she was going to do this. She slammed her hands down to her side walking out, “I’m taking my break, have fun. Maybe get a girl’s number while I’m gone.” She walked out of the food court and made her way to Merry Go Round to find you. Robin’s breath hitched as she walked into the familiar storefront lined with mannequins and clothes. “Hi, welcome in.” You refolded some of the shirts up front before looking over your shoulder to see Robin. 

“Oh hey, what brings you here?” You turned to face your neighbor. “This isn’t your typical spot.” You smiled sweetly. You and Robin had been neighbors for years. You two would study together. You went to all her band concerts and plays. You both had your own friend groups meaning the times were you two would hang out was mainly at your own houses. “I need a favor. A big favor.” Robin emphasized the second sentence. You nodded, “Go on.” 

“Harrington made his comments about me not having a girlfriend even though I’m hounding him about how awful he is with girls.” Robin rolled her eyes as she crossed her arms over her chest. “Sure.” You said enthusiastically, catching her off guard. “Sure what?” She furrowed her eyebrows still sounding mildly offended fresh off of Steve’s comment. “Sure, I’ll be your pretend girlfriend.” 

Robin’s quick wit seemed to falter. Even the mere mention of you being her girlfriend caused her heart to race. “Wait, really?” Her eyebrows furrowed in a moment of confusion. “Yeah. You know I’d do anything for you, no questions asked.” You shrugged as you refolded another shirt. “Now shouldn’t you be getting back to work, babe?” You leaned back pressing a kiss against Robin’s cheek. 

You watched as she flusteredly looked between you and the door, “Yeah, I should.” She ran her fingers through the ends of her hair before walking towards the door. She was unsure if she should or could say anything more than that. She walked out with a pep in her step as she made her way back to Scoops. She pushed through to the backroom with a goofy smile printed on her face. 

“And where did you go?” Steve questioned. “I got a quick lunch.” Robin answered with a sweet tone as she eased herself onto the counter, her feet were swinging. “Oh, let me guess, with Y/N?” He playfully rolled his eyes before walking up to the front. Robin turned to open up the partition to the front. “Are you jealous, Harrington?” She propped her elbow up on the partition as Steve shrugged. “I mean, she’s hot, Robin, I’ll give you credit if it’s true.” 

You strolled into Scoops Ahoy 10 minutes before closing. “I’m not making you a USS Butterscotch, you gotta come in earlier for that.” Steve grumbled as he locked the register. Robin came out from the back making a beeline towards you. Your arms instinctively wrapped around her waist as you looked around at the empty storefront. “I wasn’t coming in for ice cream. I’m taking Robin out for dinner tonight.” Robin’s eyes met yours in confusion as you gave her a warm smile. 

“Really? Cause Robin never mentioned that.” Steve questioned placing his hands on the counter to lean against. Robin slipped from your grasp as she went to close the gate for the front of the store. “She didn’t know, it’s a spur of a moment kind of thing.” You said cooly, your response sounding natural. Robin was impressed, but she didn’t expect to have the feeling of butterflies in her stomach during this whole fake dating scenario. 

“I was going to let you pick since it was an off guard kind of thing.” You spoke again, but this time directed towards Robin. She had to bring herself back down to Earth as she realized this wasn’t real and you two were likely not going to get dinner. “I’ll have to think about it. Come back to me later.” Robin turned back towards you and Steve motioning for you to walk into the backroom. You waited for Robin to catch up to you before extending your hand out to her. She took it with a small smile on her face, intertwining her fingers into yours. 

Steve followed behind you two, mildly impressed with what he was seeing. “I’ll lock up. You love birds go out on your date.” Steve indiscreetly winked at Robin as you walked along the back halls. You made your way out as Robin broke away from your grip to make her way to her bike. “Hey, I was serious about dinner.” You stopped in your tracks looking at her puzzled. Robin stopped as well, her back towards you as she let out a shaky breath. 

“We can’t do this.” Robin turned to you, “We can’t go out on a dinner date after this.” Her eyes were steadily looking at her feet. “And why can’t we?” You lean your weight onto one of your feet as you crossed your arms against your chest. “Cause I’m already falling for you and if this carries on I’m going to get more immersed and then I’m left heartbroken. I’ve had the smallest crush on you for years and this just made it so much worse.” Her voice shook as she blinked back tears. She looked up to see you still standing there smugly. 

“But what if I want a dinner date with you? What if I want more than this fake dating scenario?” You let out onto her, sounding mildly frustrated. “But-” Robin started in an attempt to argue with you before you cut her off. “Please, Robin, just listen to me.” You dropped your hands to your side as you moved towards her. “Every time I’m around you, everything feels right in the world. I love being around you. I can’t explain it and I’ve been so fearful of telling you, but here I am.” You sighed as you shut your eyes preparing yourself for what was going to happen next. 

You felt Robin’s hands hold onto your face. You opened your eyes to see Robin’s eyes looking into yours. You both had tears swelling up in your eyes. You lifted your hands up to wipe her eyes, “Are you crying over me?” You halfway laughed causing her to laugh as well. “Don’t ruin the moment.” She smiled as she leaned into you, her lips finally meeting yours. The sound of the night echoing through the mall parking lot creating a perfect soundtrack for this kiss as you grabbed her face and pulled her more into you. The kiss still remained gentle with her soft lips against yours. You pulled away, resting your forehead against yours. “Let’s go get dinner.” Robin smiled sweetly as she turned to walk to your car completely ignoring her bike. 

Bonus: 

“I knew it. I’m a fucking match maker.” Steve snarked to himself as he pumped his fists into the air watching as you and Robin walked hand in hand to your car after experiencing the whole altercation.
