Epilogue

"So," Impa starts, "did everything go well?"

I look at Impa disingenuously. "You know how it went," I reply, "You saw everything."

Impa shrugs. "True," she says, "but it doesn't mean you might not want to talk about it."

"I don't actually," I say honestly. "I have nothing further to report and wish to leave."

Impa looks at me surprised at the curt undertone in my voice.

"Okay," she replies, "you may go."

I get up and bow respectively and then take my leave. I look around the crystalline chamber and think of all the duty and sacrifice it takes to keep Ganon sealed away.

Life is hard. I thought. But life could be worse. Instead of thinking of all the things I can't do I'm going to think of all the things that make my life worthwhile, and being a sage is definitely worthwhile.

I no longer have that doubt in the back of my mind. I also made a new friend from my journey, and I have closure.

I walk down the hall of the Sacred Realm to go to my room. I close the door and sigh. I glance over at my reflection in the mirror and see myself for what I really am: I'm Kokiri, I'm a sage, and I still have a best friend named Link.
