He sighs.

"Yet I still believe it."

...

(If that's true - which it is - then Blink might be in trouble. Since he was born into the role of the Hero. Groomed into it.)

(He's noting that with a wry sarcasm, but still...)

"You've moved past that, now. You've made yourself into a Hero. Haven't you? You killed Ganon."

...Eh.

(Blink shrugs. If anything, he didn't really move past that as much as he had it deleted from his memory.)

(In hindsight, amnesia helped him a lot - the weight of being designated the Hero didn't really hit him until he was over halfway there.)

>("Oh, I know that.")

(If anything, Blink's just musing at this point... and wondering if his past self knew that adage.)

...

(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.)

"How do I avoid letting myself be only the Hero?"

...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.)

He nods.

"Speaking of wilderness — the Phantom is still there. Waiting. Probably for me."

(Blink cracks his knuckles, expressing the belief that all he needs to do is encounter it and it's toast. If just one sword beam from the Master Sword could send it fleeing...)

"The Master Sword made it bleed malice. I've never seen that before, and I've seen it many times. I'm willing to bet you weakened it to the point that normal weapons can hurt it. And if I'm wrong — I'm a fast runner."

(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.)
