Preface

If you enjoy, hate or are lukewarm to any of my chapters/overall plot, please post a review! I want to improve as a writer and can only do that with honest opinions. Thanks!

Hi! Thanks for clicking.

Back in 2019 or so, I read SelphieKinneas' "What Makes a Hero" story and loved it. I'd played through the HD release of Twilight Princess and wanted a more meaty dive in to the characters of the story and see how the old ship of midlink would be handled in it.

I enjoyed every bit of it, so Selphie, thank you.

Then, I went and read her original follow up story to that, "What Made a Hero". Unfortunately, that one didn't grab me like the first one did. Sorry Selphie!

So I thought of a plot and decided to try and write one myself, a follow up to her original "What Makes a Hero", with blackjack and hookers.

Five years later (currently Dec 13th, 2024), I'm finally two thirds done with it.

It helps to have read "What Makes A Hero" before this, plus I'd just recommend it. If not, you can generally infer what happened in hers if you've played Twilight Princess.

If you read it, then thank you. Your time spent here means a lot to me. I would love to hear any thoughts and critiques you have of it.

And don't forget to leave a review of any chapter you want to. Thanks!

Thanks :)

Edit 15/Dec: Think the formatting should be much better now. Deleted old chapters and re-added them

Edit 13/Dec: Apologies, the formatting is a nightmare on this site. Trying to fix it currently so the chapters don't show as walls of text
