I followed mother and Link to the Zora charity event. Mother set up the stage. A couple of times Link grunted at her and took the boxes from her hands, but she just took the box back and grumbled at him. They both shared a chuckle.
After setting up, Link and mother decided to take a breather. They sat together on a bench and mother eventually fell asleep. She rested on Link's shoulder. To my surprise, Link looked at her and smiled and gave a small kiss on her head. The sight was very adorable.
I didn't understand how this faithful knight killed mother. It was just a suspicion, but I had a feeling Link loved mother. And I don't know how you could kill a loved one.
I decided to sit on the bench next to them, not that they could see me. I eventually dozed off even though the bench was uncomfortable. At some point in my sleep I had laid my head down on mother's lap. It was an instinct that I almost wish I hadn't indulged. It almost felt like she was there with me.

I woke up to Link looking me in the face.
"AHH," I screamed out of pure surprise. He continued to stare.
"Link," mother called out staring at me also. "What are you looking at?"
Link turned towards mother and shook his head. He was looking me straight in the face. He could see me. I knew it. He had some sort of power. Maybe it came with being a fated hero.
"Link, the event has almost started. Let's go sit in our seats while we wait," mother suggested. Link walked towards mother slowly. Mother turned towards Link and reached for his chest as he got closer. Link carefully kissed mother and mother kissed back.
My jaw dropped to the floor. Link didn't just love mother. Mother loved Link too. I didn't know if this counted as an affair or if it was just a fling.
I watched as a black spirit got closer to Link. I ran and tried to stop it, but it moved inside Link. My eyes widened in fear. I watched as Link reached for his sword.
"NOOOOO!"
I shouted loudly as I watched the possessed Link murder mother. He stabbed through her mid-section and mother had a tear going down her plump cheeks.
She whispered, "I love you". She fell limp to the ground, eyes wide open but dead. Link turned toward me. His face had changed. His form was completely different. The spirit who possessed him had changed him. Link smiled an evil grin at me as he walked forward, his sword pointed at me. He could see me, and he intended to kill me before I could return to the future. If my spirit dies before my body does, I will cease to exist, or ever have existed. This was bad.
