zelda plot is teh predictable :P

who knows, link's hat was a person one day, his boat was the king of hyrule,too. This coud be the history of other equipament the hero uses.

she is the master sword, ppl.

just compare the details

her clothes,her color, the cristal on the head, the place where she is, no sword on link's hand.

it's the spirit of the master sword.
