"Link, can you hear me?"/span/span/spanbr /span style="color: #2c3635;"span style="font-size: 9pt;"span style="background: #fffffa;"***/span/span/spanbr /span style="color: #2c3635;"span style="font-size: 9pt;"span style="background: #fffffa;"As a child, have you ever observed ants? Were you ever captivated by the world these tiny creatures immerse themselves in? Day in and day out, these brethren band together working for a common purpose. They build together, they grow together. They have come to an agreement that there is a goal that cannot be done by the hand of any one ant. An iron bond formed by the will of the many. Now, even at a young age, humans have an immense capacity for cruelty. It may be instinctual but when we are given immense power, we seem invincible to the weak. Imagine a little boy pointing a magnifying glass on an ant hill. It forces some of the ants crawling in away from their home. The boy kicks over the ant hill. In the face of overwhelming power, there is no shame in giving in to fear to fight for another day. But for every generation, there come the few who stand their ground firmly, staring down their foes straight in the eye. Knowing they may die, they choose to fight anyway because even if they are fighting for a purpose far greater than themselves. They fight for their home, for their kin, for the future they believe in, for all that is glorious and just. And even though this all powerful entity may wipe out the vast majority, those brave souls have solace that they are fighting alongside equally brave comrades. For even if this unstoppable child may wipe out a majority of them, their infinite fighting spirit will not allow them to quit. This juggernaut is not dealing with any ordinary ant. No, he has stepped on a fire ant hill./span/span/spanbr /br /span style="color: #2c3635;"span style="font-size: 9pt;"span style="background: #fffffa;"From a bird's eye view or even the eye of God, that's exactly what it seemed like. Thousands of ants seemingly coming out of nowhere, crawling up the leg of their attacker. Swarms of Hyrule's best foot soldiers, knights, bowmen, the works, direct their plight to the seemingly other worldly entity. Like an apathetic child who is either too naïve or full of himself to care for the lives of the tiny creatures below his feet, Giga Bowser too swept up the lives of these comparatively insignificant species. Giga Bowser effortlessly stomps his foot into the dirt, kicking up an immense dust hill and leaving a foot print with discarded spears and broken bows and arrows. He opens his jaw to release a tsunami of flames that swallow a fleet of soldiers mounted on horses. In this sea of madness, it is all but too easy to give way to fear. For many soldiers, this is exactly the case. Trembling, a few soldiers opted to make a tactical retreat, hiding inside a foot print left by Giga Bowser. However, even in this pit of darkness, their shines a light so bright, the faint of heart may look away. Two horses leap over the pot, carrying on their steads two distinguished warriors who have time and time again stood to defend their kingdom for nothing in return, solely because they are the only two with the galls to do so. These two warriors, clad in their legendary green tunics carry with them the only thing that keeps humanity from giving heed to pessimism and despair: Hope./span/span/span/p
p style="line-height: .2in;"span style="color: #2c3635;"span style="font-size: 9pt;"span style="background: #fffffa;"Link and his cartoon counterpart simultaneously flip into the air, letting out their distinguishable battle cries. Unsheathing their swords, Link aims for the center of Giga Bowser's chest while Toon Link aims for his belly. In unison, they emit their legendary battle cries and strike, causing minimal damage at best. However, it seems to have grabbed the attention of the behemoth who now had his sights set on the two fearless swordsmen clad in green. Giga Bowser lets out an immense roar, stunning the two momentarily. Whatever bravery they have shown was now betrayed by their running away in the opposite direction. And now, here's the play by play by two Hylian warriors./span/span/spanbr /span style="color: #2c3635;"span style="background: #fffffa;""/span/spanspan style="color: #2c3635;"span style="font-size: 9pt;"span style="background: #fffffa;"I can't believe it," said a knight with his helmet knocked off, gripping his shoulder and spitting out blood not out of necessity but out of disgust.
