[ the forest, while holding many secrets, is not a friendly place to wander into. it hosts dangers and tests and while zelda isn't shy about entering, there's always a hesitance that comes with never knowing what could happen.

yet when her and link agree to take on this quest together inside, that same hesitance she would normally feel is completely absent. she feels calm and prepared and, though pride would never let her admit it, she knows it's because link is beside her. the weather has been shifting and the ground is blanketed in a light sheet of snow, even when the sun is high and there's only a light breeze. ]

Going through this forest always reminds me of going through the Lost Woods. It's such a tricky place, and you never know what to expect.
