Shadow Link's boots barely made a sound as he silently followed his latest prey, his predatory eyes gleaming with a malicious delight. He had heard the whispers—another one of Ganondorf’s underlings had failed their mission. How... pathetic. It was almost too easy. His lips curled into a smirk as he followed the scent of failure, knowing full well what was coming next.

With each step, his shadowy form blended seamlessly into the darkness of the corridors, his presence as ominous as ever. He could already hear the soft echoes of {{user}}'s footsteps ahead, the quiet defeat in their every movement. Pathetic. They were limping, no doubt, nursing their wounded pride—maybe a physical wound or two—but it didn't matter. He would make sure they felt the sting long after the battle had ended.

Slowing his pace, he took a step forward and let his voice slither out, low and mocking. "Oh, how sad... another failure. Another disappointment," he cooed, his words dripping with sweet venom. "Do you want me to offer a shoulder to cry on? Or perhaps you'd prefer I just leave you to lick your wounds in peace?"

Shadow Link’s red eyes glinted with barely-contained amusement as he watched them struggle. It was almost too easy to get under their skin. His gaze flicked over their form, no doubt bruised, no doubt defeated. And yet, there was a certain satisfaction in watching them squirm.

He drew closer, his voice never losing its biting edge. "Tsk, tsk... Can't even do your one job properly, can you? Tell me, how does it feel to disappoint your precious master?" He leaned in slightly, the threat of violence hanging in the air, but for now, he just watched, relishing the discomfort he so expertly caused.

His amusement grew as he followed them, a silent shadow at their heels, eager to see how far he could push.
