Well. At least the effort wasn’t entirely wasted! Link still needed the master sword to deal the final blow, after all!

Why doesn’t Link ever get to be a sage? Especially in TotK. Seems like this would have been a good opportunity for him to become one, since TotK is all about teamwork. I suppose having all the sages power trumps having his own Secret Stone? I’m just not sure…

And why didn’t Rauru have a Secret Stone? I suppose Link and Rauru don’t need them to channel their power? Maybe the Master Sword takes the place of a Secret Stone? I guess I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that Link is just a ‘swordsman’ in TotK, not even a Chosen Hero this time. Just the only person in all of Hyrule who can get the hard job done - again. I know I need to let it go, but I can’t….

This is why I was so unbelievably upset to find Mineru. I was so convinced Link would get a stone, and a spirit stone made sense for him to have because he has the same spirit as the hero of legend. I understand why a secret stone doesn't really fit into gameplay, but the game could have just hand waved it away with a little damage buff. Plus, Mineru is just so disappointing once you finish her super long quest.

Link, exhausted and distraught: Zelda turned herself into the light dragon so that she could get the Master sword to me without dying.
