Link entered his bedchamber in Hyrule Castle and sat on the edge of his bed. His head was still cloudy from the pang, in what can only be described as a bout of vertigo. He placed his head down softly onto the pillow, as sudden movements caused his head to spin. He stared up at the lush fresco on the ceiling and watched as the familiar faces spun around, faded in and out of focus and seemed to melt off the roof. He gently closed his eyes, promising himself that he was only resting his eyes, not sleeping.
Sure enough, he was soon fast asleep. Supper had been laid next to his bed several hours ago by the help. Zelda now stood over him, her hands clasped together, watching him, hoping he was alright. There was a cold sweat over his brow, matting his light hair to his forhead. She wiped his forehead with her handkerchief and left the room quietly. The sound of the door closing awoke Link from his slumber. He was still slightly dizzy, so he took some water and sat up in the bed, holding his head in his hands. He wiped the hair from his forehead and propped himself against the wall. The tingling sensation from several hours ago had returned and began to feel as though someone was rubbing a silk sheet all over his body. His tunic began to feel tight. He looked down and saw a roundness to his form he had not noticed before. More astounding was the fact that it seemed to be expanding before his very eyes. His belt began to hold tighter and tighter and he realised that he was growing!
"What's happening to me?" Link stammered. His stomach was actually growing outwards. He watched in astonishment as he continued to grow and the bright green fabric covering his body pulled tighter and tighter over his thickening chest and stomach. His torso was blowing up as though he had spent the last week feasting constantly. Too astonished to move, he lay back moaning to himself "What is this? Awaken, Link, awaken!" The seams of the tunic began to pull apart at the side and his stomach stopped growing. He looked like a stuffed sausage in his little green tunic. He looked down at himself and realised he must take the belt off, or risk being cut in half. He fiddled with the buckle, unable to see it over his newfound waistline. He rubbed his hands over his body, wondering what had happened.
However, it was not over yet. The tingling sensation moved from his torso to his arms, which also began to expand, stretch and grow. Link panicked.
"Stop!" He cried, "Stop!" His arms pushed away from his body as they grew. The soft white hose began to run and his hands inside his leather gauntlets began to squeeze against the fabric. There was a loud snapping noise and Link looked at his arms to see the hose fall away in shreds from his former muscled arms. While this was happening, the sensation spread to the rest of his body. His legs and his face began to expand. Was he going to pop? What was to happen? No, but his limbs grew until they were the size of the rest of his body. He looked in astonishment at his hands, his arms, his legs and stomach. He had expanded amazingly. His clothes were creaking under the pressure of his larger body, ready to burst at any second. He touched what was once his bicep to find out what had happened. Link was unsure if he was filled with air, water or if he had simply fattened up. As far as he could tell, he had gained weight. He had gained about fifteen pounds of fat in the past few minutes. The tingling sensation faded away, the dizziness subsided and Link relaxed against the wall, his head still reeling in awe of the situation. He closed his eyes and drew a breath. On expelling the breath, he, almost instantly, seemed to add another ten pounds to his already larger frame. His tunic, which was now skintight, split open. His undershirt tore it's buttons from their holes and his gauntlets tore along the sides.
His clothes now in shreds around him, Link looked at his body. What now?
