Agh, i just read this all over again, because it’s been a few months. I’m about to read over “when heroes fall” again too! And I just check your patreon to find out you have a draft in the works for the next chapter on that? I’m so excited!

Every chapter of this fanfiction was an unforgettable experience. From the very first page, the narrative immersed me into the world of Hyrule with such vivid descriptions and captivating storytelling that it felt as though I were journeying alongside Link and Midna.

The author masterfully balanced moments of light-hearted camaraderie with intense, raw, and even brutal scenarios that tested the characters’ limits. This stark contrast made the story’s darker moments hit even harder, showcasing the emotional and physical stakes at play.

What truly sets this story apart is its character development. Link, often a silent hero in canon, is given depth and nuance here—his struggles, fears, and moments of quiet triumph are beautifully explored. Midna, with her sharp wit and hidden vulnerability, is equally compelling. Together, their bond evolves naturally, shifting from reluctant allies to something far more profound. The author’s understanding of their dynamics is unparalleled, making their journey one of trust, sacrifice, and personal growth.

Each chapter left me eager for the next, filled with cliffhangers and revelations that made it impossible to put down. The pacing is perfect, giving just enough detail to keep the world vibrant without bogging down the narrative.

Whether you’re a longtime fan of The Legend of Zelda or new to the series, this story is an absolute must-read.

This is the best thing I ever read for Din's sake! I cried during all along the four last chapters, in fact, I've never cried so much for a fictional story so I really wanna say thank you. I feel like everything was perfect, the scenes, the story, the jokes, everything. I was scared that, TP being my favorite game and having a strong emotional bond with TP, the story would not end well because I would've never truly recovered, but the end actually gave me a sense of optimism for Link. So again, thank you very much!

HOLY SHIT! I AM SO OVERCOME WITH EMOTION I COULDN'T HELP BUT CURSING! GODDESSDAMN YOU ARE SO GOOD AT THIS! THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING THING I'VE EVER READ! (aside from the fanfiction of my own.) YOU'RE SO DESCRIPTIVE, AND THE WAY YOU EFFORTLESSLY SKIP TIME LEAVES ME IN AWE! I'M FREAKING CRYING! LIKE, FOR REAL! I LOVE THIS I LOVE THIS I LOVE THIS SO MUTCH! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

(ahem) Thank you for listening to me nerd out for a sec. I have now regained my composure.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I LOVE IT TOO MUCH! I'M GONNA WRITE A FANFICTION ABOUT YOUR FANFICTION!

I kept slamming my hand on the table and going, "Oh sh**!" whenever a new thing was revealed. Also. as a fellow writer, DANG good plot.

I’ve read this whole thing in just over a week. You’re a damn good writer ️

I really enjoyed this story. There were many elements I really liked about it, the realism for one. There was great character development and arcs. It definitely had it’s flaws throughout but overall was a really great story. One of my favorite segments was the part in the lost woods where Link was seeing the hero of time lead him through the woods. The ending was a surprise though, it was hard seeing Link’s downward spiral, he felt like a completely different person at the end, never even getting a moment to relish in his victory. The thing he had fought so hard for all along he didn’t even want at the end, a life of peace, it seemed so uncharacteristic. I was rooting for Link and Ilia the whole time, I feel like she is the right choice for him. Midna is like a poison and Ilia is the antidote, which is clear by the way he downward spiraled when she left. Midna used him, lied to him, and almost bullied him into loving her when he clearly had feelings for Ilia. Contrast to Ilia who was always kind, loving, never lied, knew him best having been close with him even before he was the hero. She ended up making the biggest sacrifice in the end letting him go because she wanted him to be happy more than anything else, even though she could have made him stay with her with two simple words, I wanted to cry. I will go on to read the sequel, all the while hoping he does not go back to Midna and ends up back with Ilia, especially once he finds out he has a son. Great work with this story!

I’m liking this!
