IF: not teleported during escape from Hayley's pursuit
Going up the stairs across three flights of steps in a row took a lot out of Link's stamina, but at the same time, the figure stuck between the floorboards of the second floor just had her forehead emerged.
Link made a snap decision and immediately ran in the direction of that female ghost, and the distance between the two of them began to drastically shorten all of a sudden.
The moment they were about to make contact, Link jumped like she was a hundred-meter hurdle and lifted his leg over her head, which was gradually rising upward, and continued running forward without stopping for a moment.
Normally, Link would choose to run the opposite direction since it would put distance between him and the female ghost.
But only by a little.
His stamina would drop, his movements would be slowed, and that brief advantage of distance would soon be completely erased by physical exertion.
