Link and Malon ending up together and the Hero's Shade existing makes it even MORE tragic
Link saves everyone, gets a second quest to help get over his ptsd, and has the perfect life handed to him, and he's STILL so messed up his spirit is bound to earth for generations
Link would spend the rest of his years at the ranch, close enough to the edge of the woods that he'd think each shadow in the treeline was his old friends, and despite having everything he could ask for, he'd never sleep properly again
