LINK STARED BLANKLY at the small red bubbles indicating UNREAD MESSAGES . were it not for the EAR - PIERCING SOUND that assaulted his ears just seconds prior , link would not have believed a phone might receive so many at once . or that so much time had passed . hunched to alleviate the painful stitch in his side , with his back bent over the coil of the archive's charger cord , link skimmed over them all . within moments , link felt himself swallowing ash . NEWS ALERTS DOMINATED the header banner , followed by ALERT after ALERT of updates . a chilling goad to all men left behind . missed phone calls . airships launched . relief efforts . rescues . — text messages . each and every one of them had been left unseen until now .
LINK'S EYES FLEW TO zelda's name faster than he could speak it , hoarse and whispered under his breath .
