Link's ears were filled with a buzzing sound. That hit had really rocked him.
But judging from his teammates' expressions, Link figured that last shot had definitely gone in.

Everyone present today was fortunate enough to witness history!
They had witnessed the first—and quite possibly the last—time a player had ever posted a 50+15+15 stat line in a
