Link is used to running -- more used to it than he probably should be. The pound of his heart, his paws gliding over the ground. Most of the time, hes running towards something -- a monster, maybe. One of those warped creatures that inhabited the land, the groups, around Hyrule. He hasn't seen any here, not for miles.
He doesn't know when he got here, so far past the other groups. So far away from what was apparently supposed to be his duty. He didn't ask for this. He didn't ask to wake up without his memories, to be tasked with saving so many people. Link didn't even know what it meant to be a hero -- all he knew was that he was one, and it's weight is like lead on his shoulders.
Helping people made him feel good. He liked it when Sidon thanked him so profusely for taking down the giant beast of their group, the relieved sighs of the people as he tore down the foe terrorizing them. But that was all. People expected him to save them. The work was thankless.
He didn't ask for this.
Which is why he doesn't immediately double down once he realizes how far he's come from where he was supposed to be. Miles and miles -- it was hard to tell where you were, deep in the wilderness. Granted, crossing over oceans wasn't really capable of being an accident, which begged the question of how he got here to begin with. Ears lie back warily.
He knows forests. Forests are familiar -- though nowhere near as safe as mountains. He remembers the monsters crawling all through the woods.
There's no scent of them now.
He can recognize signs of civilization, however. The scent of the air, pawprints in the dirt. Link's expression is guarded. Civilization is safe, he knows this much. He does not know what it is like outside of Hyrule -- Link's lack of memory proves this, but he can't help the lack of wariness. Not to say he's not wary, he is. Just not enough. He takes another few pawsteps, ears straining to hear. Where were they? He wonders if they'd mind if he stayed a while. He's so tired, too tired to go back and to continue his great quest. .. Not like he knew what his quest was all about, anyways, besides to protect people, to tame the divine beasts.
So, maybe, it just doesn't matter.
//sorry this is kind of disjointed
(lore info cause this is kind of confusing: basically its just loz as animals. monsters, divine beasts, ganon, etc, are all just,,, big op animals. he never really learned what his quest was all about.)
