Link stood in front of his small, tattered mirror and just took the time to see himself. He looked into his own deep blue eyes, while Navi watched above in confusion.
"Who am I, Navi..." He pondered. She didn't respond. She just floated, silently.
"Link. You are Link, DUMBY!" she laughed at herself as she spoke. But Link didn't.
"No, Navi. Who am I? I'm Link, yeah. Everyone knows that. But who..." He sighed, "Never mind." This whole time he had been staring into the mirror, but now he had suddenly focused his eyes on something else - his sword. He walked lazily over to it, stroking its gleaming silver metal, feeling the smooth blade against his warm callosed hands. He felt the end of the blade, and realized it needed to be sharpened. He grabbed his hat, pulling it onto his head over his scruffy blonde hair. His boots clunked against the wooden floorboards of his treehouse as he walked over to the door. He opened it and climbed down his ladder, only to see Saria standing there with her hands behind her back. At the sight of him, she trotted over to him and sweetly chuckled.
"I've got something for you, Link! Guess what it is..." She happily gleamed her smile at Link, and he couldn't help but smile back.
"Uh, an acorn? I dunno." He felt akward playing these childish games now. He stood at least a foot and a half taller then Saria, and looked nearly twice her age.
"Nope." She waited for him to guess again. Link shrugged his shoulders. Rolling her eyes, she smiled and held out her hands. Link placed his under hers, ready to recieve her gift. She uncoiled her fist, only to drop a single green rupee.
Link raised his brow, suspiciously. "Thanks." He thought it was a game, so he was just playing along. Saria ran off in the woods, and before Link could stop her she was gone.
He stared at the perfectly carved gem, and suddenly realized that it wasn't just a normal rupee. In the middle of it was what appeared to be... a fairy. Navi took an exceptional interest to the little one, lifelessy frozen without the soft glow surrounding her that most fairies took.
"Navi, do you have any idea?"
Navi floated down to object and shook her head. She stood on Link's hand next to the gem and quietly spoke, "No, I don't..." she paused, Link's face growing more puzzled every second.
Link slid the gem into his shirt pocket and climbed back up his ladder. He walked over to his bed, crouched down, and swiftly slid the stone under it.
"What are you doing?" Navi said, concerned and deeply annoyed with Link's uncaring gesture.
"No one knows about it. It's fine here, Nav..." he calmy argued. Navi heavily sighed and rolled her eyes at the adolescent elf.
"Who am I, Navi..." He pondered. She didn't respond. She just floated, silently.
"Link. You are Link, DUMBY!" she laughed at herself as she spoke. But Link didn't.
