Dammit.

Link took a deep breath as he readjusted his grip on the Master Sword. Only meters away, his assailant was staring him down, only moments ago having been in disguise as an injured Hylian Traveler. He had successfully dodged their first attack, but now it seemed they were at a stand still - waiting for the other to make the first move. The Yiga Clan's assassians had been particularly active since he had defeated their master. Likely seeking revenge for his embarassment on top of already seeking him out for his stance against Calamity Ganon.

He should have already learned his lessons from the multiple other Yiga members he had come into contact with in similar ways within the past few months, but it seemed his good nature always won over his hesitance when it came to helping those who needed it.

He took another breath, steeling himself as he moved to charge the Yiga member. Unfortunately, it seemed he had moved too slow, or his movement was predictable to the member as they expertly dodged his blade and moved to counterattack. He braced himself for the sharp feeling of pain their weapon came down upon his shoulder - but moments later was surprised to hear their own gasp as their weapon seemingly bounced right off of him.

Their surprise didn't last long however as he used it to his advantage and raised the Master Sword in reply. Though he was surprised as the weapon seemed to do nothing. His own arm moving against his wishes and making the attack fall short as if afflicted by some spell that prevented him from damaging the clan member in front of him.

A sound of surprise left his mouth.

Impossible.
