Link considers the accusation. And then says, blasé and unconcerned, "Yup."

And then he kick's at the soldier's feet, bringing him crashing down to the ground. He shifts, sword still pointing at his now prone enemy, so he can keep an eye on him and the one with the wound to the gut at the same time.

As they consider the pros and cons of trying to jump Link, Link stares back. He says nothing, and his expression doesn't change, but the challenge is there.

Does the soldier really think they can take Link?
