Swept away by the breath of the wild
(I'm just a link in the chain)
Destiny rests on the hands of a child
(They'll know my legend by name)
But I'm not even in the title
Why'd I get the side line?
Some guy on the Triforce timeline
Got an ocarina? 'Cause I'll run it back
With another fresh start, and another long nap
But the master sword ain't ever snapped before
And I don't even have pants, is it drafty? Sure!
Just had a run-in with Ganondorf
(Abandoned calamity for his manly form)
I've ascended, but I didn't even try
Took a little vacay to the Isle of the Sky
Where I'll play, and I'll build, but I'm achin' to fly
So when I get the chance, I'll be takin' a dive
Never fancied myself a handyman
But Zelda will tell ya, "Yes he can!"
Now we're gonna rebuild even if it ain't perfect
Courage cannot be learned, you earn it
Feel the teardrops of the kingdom comin' down
(You'll learn to sing in the rain)
Pick the pieces up, and rebuild it from the ground
(More than a link in the chain)
Are we flyin'? Are we fallin'?
Nothing left for you to take but my hand
You're the hero I've been callin'
Every step that you take separates the boy from the man
No lie, it's a tied up timeline
But I'm finally well into my prime
Zelda's in need of help? That's when I shine
You should worship me (why?) This is my shrine
Climbin' to the top, no stoppin'
Unlike a pot, I'm just not droppin'
You know a pot ought to be dropped to smash 'em
You'll lose weapon durability if you bash 'em
Now you probably see why I don't talk a lot
'Cause I got a wild inner monologue
I stick to the gruntin', hit ya with a hut!
Listen Ganondorf, I'm gonna kick your butt
With the Princess Zelda, yes of legend
Wielding wisdom as her weapon
Then I'll ascend like a Skyward Blade
In the end, this legend doesn't need my name
Because I'm just a boy
In the wrong place, at the wrong time
No challenge I will avoid
'Til it's our place, and it's our time
Even as the Demon King sits on his throne
I will keep my doubt deep down inside
Whenever I have my back on the ropes
That's when the courage comes out
'Cause it's harder to hide
My character is barely flawed
No Mary Sues, just fairy gods
You wanna climb Hyrule? Now the stairs are long
But I'm locked on target with an arrow drawn
Going off the rails, but the grind is real
Out of touch with Earth, but the sky I feel
Ganondorf, we can't strike a deal
So it's tears for the piggy, time to squeal
Feel the teardrops of the kingdom comin' down
(You'll learn to sing in the rain)
Pick the pieces up, and rebuild it from the ground
(More than a link in the chain)
Are we flyin'? Are we fallin'?
Nothing left for you to take but my hand
You're the hero I've been callin'
Every step that you take separates the boy from the man
