In Which I Do A Meme: Three Comments On A Story

[zelda_queen]

Snagged this one from gehayi! I have written thirteen fanfictions, so comment and pick a number between one and thirteen. One is the most recently-updated work I've done thus far, and thirteen is the least-recently-updated. I will then tell you three things about that fic that I like about it!

1.) The use of Wolf Link in the story. I was afraid of him cropping up too much and taking the focus off of the two Zeldas, but his wolf form just seemed too perfect as the fairy tale magical talking animal. And from there, it just made sense to me to make him an enchanted hero. In the end, I felt his presence was just right. He gave some help, but ultimately didn't take over.

2.) The entire desert sequence. That just came fantastically, when I was writing it. The use of the Poe, the little hidden room, the sandstorms, they all lent themselves perfectly to the blending of traditional fairy tales and The Legend of Zelda.

3.) The using of a dagger in the final part of the story. I had wanted Zelda of the Moon to be using some sort of a hidden weapon when Vaati came into her room, but my first idea - a sword - just couldn't work. When I tried to visualize it being used, I couldn't buy it. Then, I was linked to an article about how overused swords are, and how it was suggested that daggers be tried as a replacement. A dagger ended up working great! :D
