The Inevitable

Fandom: The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
Characters: Ravio, Link, Sheerow (actually, does the bird count? ...hell with it, of course he does, I am only flesh and blood)
Word count: ~7500
Warnings: A MORE DIFFERENT BAD ENDING. Some horror, though not gory.
Notes: The other Sad Lorule Thoughts I mentioned. For the prompt "Resurrection."

I thought it was interesting how cavalier Ravio is about Link dying all over the place - though the game is careful not to refer to it as "death" in so many words. "Fall in battle," "keel over," "get done in," etc., I guess for plausible deniability or convenience of handwave. But I have a weakness for overthinking game mechanics, and this one gave me license to write something incredibly weird, so here we all are.
