These Sealed Lips
These Sealed Lips;
That a Hyrule Princess told to keep that way,
That a Zoran one nearly kissed,
These Sealed Lips;
That played on the Ocarina, both of wood and of time,
And never failed, to play the same chimes,
These Sealed Lips;
That only part to let out a war cry,
That only part to let out a yell; yell of pain,
These Sealed Lips;
Never speak, never talk,
Never frown, never smile,
These Sealed Lips;
May forever stay the same,
In rain or shine; in sorrow and joy,
These Sealed Lips;
Oh how I wish these lips would speak to me in the way I know that your heart does,
And tell me what to do, when I'm out of fun.
These Sealed Lips.

Nobody Asked
Did anyone ask how much is the pain,
When I am flung like a doll out of the way,
Sometimes into a pool of water cold as freezing rain,
Into a swirl of never-ending fire, brighter than the sun in the midst of any noonday?
Did any one ask how much the tire,
When I slash with my sword and try so hard,
To get out of any situation dire,
And find out that I can't, for the door in back of me is barred?
Did anyone ask how much the disappointment,
To feel such happiness and joy of day,
Then feel such pain, sorrow and lament,
When what I earned with sweat and tears, is wrenched away without a moment's delay?
Did anyone ask how much the shock,
To find myself not a boy but a man,
To find myself seven years behind the clock,
To discover that now rests on me, the fate of my presently demented land?
Did anyone ask how much the sadness,
To see your own people destitute and afraid,
To see fear where the should be gladness,
To try and be brave when you are deeply dismayed?
No, I do not think that anybody asked.

I am Link
I am a golden-haired warrior dressed in heavenly green, and with rugged brown boots from all the wear and tear of my never-ending quests.
I wield a wonderful sword- the world-defending Master Sword- that rests against my back in a sheath of embroiled blue and yellow, and with it I bring justice and liberty to those in pain; those in need.
I am Link, the Hero of Time.
