The Kokiri watched as Link lifted his once-living prize and tossed it into the air, meeting its descent with an upward sword swing.
The blade cleaved the falling target in two, leaving the halves on the ground, pooling red fluid.
The Kokiri gave Link plenty of space and looked on in shock as he picked up one half and began to savagely devour it.
Red juices and pieces spattered all around as he ripped bite after bite from the inside of his meal, pausing only long enough to spit unwanted bits from his mouth.
The kokiri watched, stunned and still shocked, as link messily finished the first half and began to hastily consume the second half.
Saria gasped, and Mido muttered under his breath, both stunned and wide-eyed.
"Great Farore." Mido murmured.
"How could he-" Saria whispered.
Link took bite after monstrous bite until he completely devoured the victim of his great appetite.
Once he swallowed the final crimson-dripping piece, he threw the empty skin aside and punched the air, letting out a roar of victory.
Saria was the first to react; though even she was slow to start.
She clapped, increasing speed and her awestruck expression faded into a bright smile.
Mido's jaw dropped.
Saria jogged over to where Link was standing, carefully picking her way across the puddles and pieces from his feeding frenzy.
"Congratulations, Link! You beat your last watermelon eating record by fifteen seconds!" she said.
Link let out another cry of victory.
"That was one big melon, are you full yet?" Saria asked.
"Heck no. Let's get another one and see if I can beat my record again." Link said with a wide, juice-dripping smile.
