While almost every gaming protagonist typically grows and adapts to the demands of the story they are in, Link takes this one step further by LITERALLY becoming what his missions required. From his willingness to acquire and apply each of the unique masks in “Majora’s Mask” to his transformation into a wolf in “Twilight Princess”, Link demonstrated his full commitment to saving others by surrendering himself and his approach to be shaped by the specific needs of each of his quests. One mission called for a Goron mask while another demanded a Zora’s touch… and by submitting himself to become what each situation needed, he was able to save them all.

Each of the unique missions that the Lord has called us to complete will compel us to adapt both ourselves and our approach to what that specific quest demands. Some require a higher degree of subtlety and sophistication, while others will call for more blunt and direct tactics… and it is the Lord alone who determines the best way to proceed. Reaching every possible soul for Christ can’t be achieved through a “one size fits all” mentality… each requires a tailored, nuanced approach by a vessel fully surrendered to His guidance. Let’s listen for the leading of His Spirit today, becoming the fully malleable clay He can mold into the perfect shape for every situation.

But now, Lord, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You our potter, and all of us are the work of Your hand. Isaiah 64:8

For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more; and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law; to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law; to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. 1 Corinthians 9:19-22

And on some have compassion, making a distinction; but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh. Jude 1:22-23
