Reviews for When Heroes Fall |
---|
![]() ![]() Oh. My gods. I have binged in all of my free time as of late “What Makes a Hero” and now this as well and I am astounded and amazed with what you have managed to do with the content of one Zelda game. Your retelling and your stories has made me feel things so deeply that I have been trying to sort them out for a few minutes now. I am thoroughly entranced and hooked on this story and I just wanted you to know that. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Haha! brilliant! Im surprised Midna wasn't married off too. guess it's a good thing. I can't say I felt the impact of 15 years passing for midna hard enough, though. As in she seemed... exactly the same in situation in the twilight and in her behavior. guess there's enough going on to add any of her potential new baggage, though. Emeline is great and the soothing aura she gives off is so clear to read and feel. I hope she does some awesome stunts in the fight with viscen, being able to see intents and all. good luck! |
![]() ![]() ![]() I never reviewed this! Ah I just love this story so much it was great! I can't wait for them to all go to the castle now! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Ahhh! This chapter is so amazing! I really want to know what will happen when Midna saw how that king treats Link like that |
![]() ![]() ![]() I love this story and "What Makes a Hero" so much, but sometimes they're hard to read because Link doesn't have the easiest time (an understatement, I know). I keep it in my heart that maybe he can find some piece. The re-introduction in this chapter is totally worth it, though. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Yo, I’m liking where this is going, keep it up. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Really nice chapter ! We're finally seeing Midna again ! I can't wait for her to find Link, and find out how they both will react. Keep up the good work, you're a really talented author ! |
![]() ![]() ![]() I wanted desperately to skip to the end and see it wrapped up and everyone alright, but i persevered and god damn was it some good writing. Your a tease and a good one :P |
![]() ![]() midna's still gonna kick his ass |
![]() ![]() midna's gonna kick viscen's ass. |
![]() ![]() welp hes dead |
![]() ![]() ![]() Oh... Oh Selphie... Please tell me that what I'm afraid just happened didn't just happen. We've seen our hero at the brink of death too many times to count, but describing him as "not wanting to fight" fills me with fear. I'm beyond excited for Ren, and I'm over the moon at the idea of seeing Midna again after so long. But Link... it would be so bitter for this to be the moment he decides to give up. Unease and terror aside, the Hero of Time /and/ the entry into the Twilight Realm in the same chapter? Selphie, you spoil us. I'm so excited to see the Twilight Realm, see how you've developed and expanded on it and Midna's character. The whole monologue about time and entering different time periods freely makes me wonder when exactly Ren is going to step into the Twilight Realm, but I'm very excited no matter what you've decided to do. Time (Link) was absolutely adorable in this chapter. I really enjoyed your portrayal of his personality (and personal traumas). He feels more fleshed out in this chapter than I think he ever has before, and it was nice. I also enjoyed that he chose not to show his more... grotesque form to Ren. That would've been too much for the poor boy, to see a living skeleton. I wonder if Ren managed to see any resemblance to his own father through his bewilderment, since the hero's all kind of share a similar face. Then again, Ren never saw his father in his hero-ing days, before the dust and sorrow changed him in the desert. Im definitely rambling now, that's just how excited I am to ponder over what you've given us in this chapter! The description of the forest was Hemingway-esque. Descriptive sentences a-plenty. Which makes sense for describing a seemingly endless, maddeningly dense forest. But the description blossomed as soon as they entered the area of the Temple of Time. I've said this several times before, but the temple truly is my favorite place in Twilight Princess, both the crumbled and shiny versions. We didn't get to see shiny Temple of Time in this story (underatandably) but we did get to see shiny (literally) Hero of Time. What a good decision, to have him acting and looking like himself instead of a silent wolf guide or a mysterious skeleton mentor. I wonder what his decison making process is like as to when to appear as each, and to whom. I suppose he's had plenty of chances to test it out as he travels through time... forever. Ah, well. Midna! She is coming! The ending of this chapter makes me wonder if it really has been her that has been the voice in Link's head for all those years. It would be interesting if she had some form of communicating with him from her side. Cruel though, if true, that she has been speaking to him without so much as a hint on how to find her. If I remember correctly, her voice has mostly just insulted him, which I guess wouldn't be very in character for post WMaH Midna. I can't want to see what you're going to do! I'm writing this review pretty late, so my speculation could very well be answered very soon. Whatever the case, I am beyond ready to see the Twilight Queen. Till Next Time |
![]() ![]() ![]() No LINK! Hold on! At the very least he's fallen into a coma. If that idiot king doesn't let Link get treated, he'll be useless to him. A dead hero is useless, but so is a comatose one. Midna tried to help him, but that obviously didn't help much. HopefullyRen can get to Midna quickly and they can get back to teh Temple of Time. Colin's going to be so confused. But "time stagnated"! I really loved your characterization of the Hero of Time. His interaction with Ren was soooo fun to read! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Hey Hero of Time! How you doing? Good job Ren, focus on being selfless and the sword will tolerate you. Now Colin and Ren just have to find the path to the Sacred Grove. |
![]() ![]() Uh oh, looks like Viscen is letting Link's comrades show themselves - he might also have a second option running where Link's associates open the portal (just as they are planning to do) and then he seizes it. In that case, the arrow wound is like a motivator to Ren and co. to get it done as quickly as possible. Diabolical! I can only hope that he hasn't thought of using Link's friends to open the portal in this indirect way and that he still believes that Link just decided not to open the portal in Zora's Domain himself. |
