Obliviousness gives way to simplicity, because she can only laugh at the question, but a myriad of things go unsaid: The fact Hylia is with them now, that She had planned both of their lives before they go walk, and that try as she might, even a simple life amongst the clouds was tainted by Her: Link is only her Link because Hylia chose him for a certain virtue he possessed.
