Nero may not be totally off-target in his opinion of the inherent absurdity of pinning the fate of the entire world onto the shoulders of two teenagers, but he won't be hearing an agreement from Link any time soon. He only wonders what brought on that long, exaggerated sigh of contempt while chewing on a peace of bread.

Words like 'relaxing' and 'pampering' only bring about an owlish blink from him. Why would he want to do that, when every moment he doesn't spend getting stronger is time wasted?

"I have to get back. The Princess is waiting for me," the smaller elf blurts, as if he's read Nero's mind. "The Singularity has to be the way."

Foolishly optimistic? Maybe, but these are the conclusions he's reached based on the limited information available to him in Thorne - and what little he knows of the Calamity back in Hyrule. They simply must be linked, somehow.
