Hero of Courage [Short Comic]

Summary:

A short comic about the difficulty in the original NES games and how that doesn't stop the hero.

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

A short comic where Link from The Legend of Zelda appears in a cave, tired. He expresses doubt about continuing but after talking with an old woman he decides to keep going.

Notes:

I have seen a lot of people reluctant to try the NES games and believe me, I get it. But I think those games are also very often misunderstood. They don't ask the player to be the wisest or the strongest, just to try, and try, and try again. That's all you need to eventually defeat Ganon.

In a sense I think this Link is the purest embodiment of the Hero of Courage, not only because of his in-game adventures, but because he also asks you, the player, to be very courageous.
