As You Move Through The World, You Will Always Leave Something Behind. Someone. Sometimes Thats For The

As you move through the world, you will always leave something behind. Someone. Sometimes that’s for the best, and sometimes it hurts like a bitch. But to love is to know that you will someday lose. The risk is built right in: the more you love, the more you stand to be hurt by change. But the change will come anyway. And when it does, you will find a way keep on loving, just as you did before. So be sad. Be bitter, even, for a little while. But when you’re done being sad, be a goldfish.

If I had a nickel for every time a sitcom featured a funeral scene in which a character mourns their father by leading the congregation in a doleful impromptu rendition of a classic rock song, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot. But it’s weird that it happened (at least) twice.

IT’S DANGEROUS TO GO ALONE! TAKE THIS.

I was always confused by this because I knew that the old man gave Link a sword, not a companion. At the end of this interaction, Link is still alone. I always thought it was kind of stupid for that reason. Some help you are, old man! I’m still alone!

Maybe I just have Breath of the Wild on the brain. But the old man was never trying to stop Link from going alone. He was saying: “You’re going to be alone, and that will be scary. But you can use this to fight.”

TL;DR - the old man doesn’t solve the problem. But he does suggest that the problem can be solved.
