Poor Link

I feel sorry for Link.

I think he's by far the unluckiest hero in the CVRPG/DSWC continuity. He always ends up suffering for everyone else's mistakes, and whatever little rewards he gets for his actions never make up for all he's gone through. When will something good finally happen to him?

Well... I mean, I did give him his own shop. He's had a pretty good run for a while there.

Ah, I see. So he can have some fairly good times, but only when he's not working as a hero. >.>

*thinks* Eh, sounds about right.

I, too, feel bad for Link. I really hope that was a bluff or lie. Being stuck as a zombie for that long has got to suck. I'm surprised he's even held together for that long.

Regular doese of fresh meat would keep the zombie vibrant and the brain intact. Simple necromantic-alchemic-science there.

Weird, I thought zombies degenerated no matter how much flesh they ate and all of their tissues would rot off until there was only a skeleton left. Clearly, I need to bone up on my necromancy grimoires.

I may be playing fast an loose with "common" mythology, certainly, but I think Link and Bucky had a conversation about this at some point in the comic. Plus, in the rules for the undead I have written up, the mind goes quickly without meat, but is the first thing restored as well. Once a zombie feeds, it'll "regenerate" its intellect... although the actual flesh it lost is probably gone.
