The Reason Why

You ask me why I do this. Why do I plunge head first into danger not knowing if I'll live to see the next day? Is it because of destiny? Is it to prove myself to those who doubt me? Is it to become something other than some commoner? Is it because I'm the only one I can? Well, the true reason is you. You give me a purpose in life that's impossible to describe with mere words. When I'm by your side, all is right in the world. You have a smile that seems to light up the darkest nights. The way your sapphire eyes sparkle like stars remind me that there is always hope. Knowing the kindness in your heart gives me such warmth motivates me to help others like you have helped me. The mention of your name gives me the will to keep going despite how hard the challenges may be. I might have the triforce of courage, but I'm terrified of losing you. So no matter how intimidating my foes are, they're nothing compared to never seeing you again. Every battle scar I get is just a reminder of my dedication to you. I know I don't have much, but I'm giving it my all. I don't expect you to wait for me. I want you to decide if you will wait without feeling forced to. So, I will continue fighting until my dying breath if it means you'll be safe and happy once more. I've become a hero and you, Zelda, are the reason why.
