(Replay) I don't agree with the take that this story is meant to question Link's morals, or that he is the villain. But I do agree that saying goodbye to Koholint Island is so much easier said than done. It's a beautiful place and Link meets many wonderful people, improving their lives. But no matter how happy dreams are, it can't stay like this forever. You always have to wake up, even if it's the hardest thing in the world for you to do. There is intrinsic carefree bliss in dreams, but sooner or later we all have to face our real lives, no matter how hard they may be.
"Verily, it be the nature of dreams to end!"

Oh and the dungeons are great too. And holy shit I forgot how hard Tal Tal Heights bangs.
