Link hums as he thinks. Perhaps it is selfish to be worried about such a think; certainly, Link would think himself selfish if he had ever considered shirking his duty. But that was a standard that Link only ever held himself to. It wasn't one he would hold Atom or anyone else to.
"Changes some things," he says. "Not others." Link hadn't really changed after he first killed another person. His personality and who he was as a person had remained largely the same. Other events and influences had more effect on him in that regard. But there was definitely a weight that came with delivering death. A weight he'd chosen to bear.
"What can you live with?"
Because in the end, that was what mattered, wasn't it? What could Atom live with.
