rasuka

Rasuka is Link's childhood friend. He and Link grew up together, playing and practicing their martial arts. Rasuka places a lot of value in strength - he takes pride in his fighting prowess and doesn't like to show weakness, whether physical or emotional. He's proud, stubborn, and confident. In many ways, Link is much the same! That's why they often butt heads, and their friendship can look like a rivalry to the untrained eye. But Rasuka also has a softer side that he doesn't express most of the time. He really cares about Link and those close to him, wanting to protect and impress them. This can lead to him getting carried away, and when panicked, to recklessness and speaking before thinking. In essence, he is a young boy who wants to be strong for the things that matter, and for people to see that in him. When Link is falsely accused of his uncle's murder and singled out, Rasuka knows he's innocent but is reluctant to help him for fear of being hunted too. However, he changes his mind when he puts himself in Link's shoes - singled out and treated as a criminal after losing family. He joins in the resistance against Aghanim to support Link - But not before passing his help off as just martial arts practice, of course!
