A COLLECTION OF DUIS: MIDNA
Spoilers for the end of the game. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is property of Nintendo and co.
There was an hour in between realities, and in that period she felt alone. So alone, so inexplicably, unbelievably alone. A her, and a not her. And between, between, they were, she was (not).
"Our hearts were one, once," Zelda noted in that hour.
"They were," Midna acknowledged. And that's all she did, really, in the time between Zelda and Twilight - those two crutch realities.
On her own! On her own! What was she then? Alone, out of her element, with no dog to command or woman to think around.
"You know me," she said, sadly, to him in the last fifteen minutes, "better than anyone. Who am I?"
He stared and said simply, as if she was stupid, and it was just a volley belatedly returned: "You."
What a simple answer from a simple boy! And who was she?
Had she stayed an hour longer in the Land of the Light, she might have known, because princesses are countries, not women.
