Researcher shenanigans
Lol I love the comments/rb tags people have been leaving on this.
"Link has never researched a thing in his life"
"Link is the test subject"
"He's the canary they put in the coal mine"
"He's the field researcher, he's Indiana Jones"
"They're the brains, he's the hands and feet"
"He has no idea what's going on but he's happy to be included"
Yeah!! He has absolutely no fucking clue what's happening 90% of the time but he works hard!! He's the one running around Hyrule collecting data and samples, doing the most dangerous surveys so that the others don't have to. He's one of them and they're proud of him :)
