[Link is quiet as he watches the interaction, noting the expression on Princess Zelda's face, the Korok's excited fidgeting as it hands her the seed. He's conscious of a feeling that builds in his chest, but is unable to name it -- sadness? longing? determination? It's hard to say, for certain, but at once he finds himself thinking about how things could have been as well as how things certainly will be...both at the same time.

He's begun to think more seriously on that question since his fight with Asura.

That thoughtful moment is brief, but important. For now, though, the dream continues, and Link says goodbye to the small forest spirit with a little wave, turning and looking out on the countryside. As much as it is his dream, he feels a bit like it belongs to Zelda, as well. So when it comes to what they should do next, he glances in her direction, head tilted thoughtfully.]
