[ She's right. Doing nothing is not an option. Siding with Highstorm is not an option. If Link wants to save Hyrule, then the choice is pretty much made for him. He has to do everything he can to ensure that the Meridian prevails.

This simple truth seems to lift his spirits. The situation becomes markedly simple when phrased in this way, and considering how jarring and confusing Link's first few days in Kenos have been, the clarity that such simplicity provides is almost soothing. When his goal is clear, he throw all of his energy into working out a method of achieving it.

As much as Akua might strike him as strange, and in spite of Link having no idea just how "strange" she really is... Link finds himself sitting up a little straighter, feeling a little more reassured, and able to look her in the eye with more confidence. ]

...There's been so much to take in since I awoke in the Tree. I've spent most of my time so far worrying about my world, and all the people in it. I saw them all die. I remember it.

[ So did she, and everyone else, from what he knows. Have they all been dealing with the same sense of loss as him? Figured out a way to deal with it? ]

But you sound confident that we can save them. I don't know much about this world, but... it's uplifting to hear you say as much. Thank you for that.
