...
(Blink shrugs.)
(All he really knows about his past self are the memories he salvaged. So he can't really say how his past self thought, just what he did.)
(But the Queen claimed something in her diary... that Blink's past self tried a little too hard to be the Hero. And with that knowledge coloring his perception, Blink thinks he's got a good idea of how his past self thought.)
...Hmm.
(Blink thinks for a while...)
>("I did my own thing.")
(He explored the world of Hyrule, making his way across a wilderness that his people could not reclaim... and he had fun along the way. Sure, he nearly died like eight hundred times, but he did a lot of things and made a lot of friends. And got a lot of treasure.)
(His past self probably wouldn't have done that. From what he knows of him, he would have just tried to follow the Hero's legend, cookie-cutter.)
...
(Blink nods.)
("Good luck.")
>("Can't really stop you.")
(He doesn't mean that sarcastically - he really only got as far as he did because he came up with plans that seemed stupid to others, especially when he said he was going to do battle against mechanical demigods. He was a complete stranger to Hyrule - and he was lucky that Hyrule let him try.)
(It's only right that Rink gets that same chance. That chance to show his mettle.)

He sighs.
"Yet I still believe it."
