((there's a long pause before Link gets a reply.))

maybe it doesnt matter so much

that word means a lot of things depending on who you ask

but i guess its mostly people one looks up to

people that inspire others

people that help where others cant

((there's another long pause before another message is sent:))

like the guards and hunters where im from

and teachers

and my brothers

and characters in story books might not always be real

or maybe they were real but the story was changed over time

but if you can still look up to them i think they would count anyway

what if the hero doesn't feel like someone that people should look up to?

what if the hero's scared?

is that okay?

what does okay mean?

but none of that will stop anyone from looking up to them and being glad they do what they do to be thought of as a hero

i know a lot of the guards back home must be afraid every time they go out

what if they get killed? a lot of them do eventually

but they still go out and they still keep the citadel safe from the other clans the best they can

its their job but its only their job because they took it

even though they knew the risks it holds
