other stupid minutiae/headcanons

link has degrees of sleeping based on how likely he thinks it is he'll be in danger during the night. for all of botw he sleeps in his armor at least partially and is ready to leap up at the sound of a leaf snapping. if you see him sleeping with rigid military posture, that's the mode he's in.

a link that is happy and content in its habitat and does not feel threatened at all looks like an ikea kit of limbs someone forgot to put together properly

and he does this in ways that defy nature and things that should be comfortable.

does sleeping half on the floor, one foot wrapped in the covers, one foot out, shoulder bearing all of your weight as you drool onto the bedroom rug really do you any good? the answer is yes if you are link. he is snoring away having the most restful sleep of his life while looking like an error at the action figure factory. the hero of hyrule, everybody!
