Emersion
For the first time since I was washed up on the beach, I stepped outside. A week ago, the people brought me to Mesa's house. However, it was mainly Grandma who oversaw me. Sometimes I think that's her real name, for no one else on the island calls her anything else. Just as well, I think she's the sweetest woman I ever met.
Between her care and a diet of elixir soup, I was now 100% back to normal. Well, almost. According to Grandma, I am now on Outset Island. My first response was, "Wait, isn't New Mexico land locked?" She thought New Mexico was an island.
If my suspicion is correct, it's no wonder she thought so. In The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, everything that is not sea, sky, or boat is a part of an island. Forests, valleys, mountain slopes, prairies, and of course: the Kingdom of Hyrule, is now beneath the depths of the Great Sea. The land that slumbers waits for the hero to restore her once more. The only evidence of what once was is the islands that have been created on top of the mountains.
Stepping outside, I allowed by eyes to adjust to the glare of the sun and sand. It was then I realize a small crowd had gathered around the porch. I didn't know whether to feel embarrassed or touched. I was then introduced to most of the citizens of the island: Rose, Orca, Mesa, Zill… and of course, Link. Seeing their faces, hearing their names, my suspicion was confirmed.
Truthfully, I think there was a part of me that already knew. But even now, with the truth before my very eyes, there was still a part of me that couldn't accept it.
Finally, it was little Joel that asked the question that everyone wanted to know, "Where'd ya come from." I smiled, and tried to describe my home the best I could.
As for how I got here, that was a mystery for me to ponder.
