"As the flames began to engulf the house, she pulled him to safety away from the danger. As the villagers came to put out the fire and get rid of the remaining enemies, she tended to his wounds. She draped her cloak around him to keep him warm in the cold, winter's air."



Now that bs-ing the caption is done, let me explain in plain English what's going on.

It's winter (obviously), and Midna had pulled Link out of his burning house in the middle of winter. If you look closely at the silhouettes, you can tell they are (from left to right) Colin, Mayor Bo, Ilia, and Rusl. Colin and Bo are trying to put out the fire while Rusl is finishing off the last enemy (not pictured due to space and laziness). Ilia is rushing over to where Midna and Link are, obviously concerned about Link's well-being.

I thought it'd be cute to have Link in Midna's cloak like this--it just adds to the passion of the scene.

If you look closely in the flames, you can still see Link's house.

This is for a contest with the LinkxMidna club that I'm in, where we have to depict how Link and Midna would be reunited. I thought it'd be an interesting twist if she saved him instead of visa-versa. Midna is a strong woman, which is what I admire about her, and I wanted to show that in this picture.

I think I may add this scene into one of my fanfics that's been on hiatus for I don't know how many months.
