Golden green was the best color out there, Link thought, but no one really understood its beauty.
"Yeah, I don't get it, honey," Telma said one night in Kakariko Village after Link had voiced his sentiments in a bout of homesickness. "Wouldn't you rather like pure green better? It doesn't suggest the oncoming death of vegetation like the sickly yellow that autumn brings. Doesn't GREEN remind you of the vibrancy of life in spring and summer?"
It was a worthy note, Link thought, but he simply shook his head in disagreement. "No. No, golden green is still the best color." Their conversation ended because golden green trumped pure green, and no converse words could change that.
Golden green was not the hue of slow death and reaping as Telma had suggested but rather the hue of sitting on a fence and watching long wheat fields waving in the crisp wind while huddling close to a friend who was more though still a friend. It was the golden green with this tint that he liked best.
He didn't expect Telma to understand its beauty because no one did. Not Ilia, not Rusl, not Colin. But Fado did.
Fado understood.
