Things had been going according to the plan. It started out as a normal day. You got dressed in your armor, pulled your hair into a bun, put on a jacket as well as the eyewear Purah had made for you (they helped enhance your vision to see the smallest details, they were the same make as the ones she and Robbie wore), and grabbed your weapon and shield.
You were going beneath the castle to search for the source of a new sickness spreading throughout Hyrule. You’d run into some keese but that was no issue. You found a mural of the history of Hyrule. Zelda’s excitement had been adorable to witness.
Then you’d descended a set of stairs and found a body with a hand inside the chest. The hand fell. A small, tear shaped object rolled onto the ground with it. Zelda picked it up.
The body animated. It cracked and twisted in jagged ways. The eyes looked towards her and lit. A substance which reminded you of the gloom which was theorized to be the cause of the sickness, lunged for her.
Link ran in front of her and deflected it. You placed your hand on her arm as you used your body to shield her. Your kodachi in hand; Link’s master sword in his own.
The gloom seemed to attack the sword, making it decay. Then it went for his arm. You pushed Zelda back. The body spoke. It said your names, all of your names. Instead of answering Zelda’s question as to how it knew them, it assaulted the ceiling.
The world began to shake and crumble. The platform with the body descended down. The ground beneath your feet crumbled.
Everything went dark.
Then there was a gentle shaking that brought light. You opened your eyes, blinked several times, and then saw them. In front of you were two figures, both of which you’d never seen. A moment of confusion followed by clarity as you abruptly sat up and looked around.
On the ground, not far behind you, was where she laid. Her eyes closed, as though she was also asleep.
You glanced at the figures. You didn’t see any visible weapons and making sure she was okay would be worth the risk. You moved over to her.
“Zelda,” you said as you shook her awake with the same gentleness you had been.
She looked up at you. She accepted your help to get up before she noticed the people behind you. This time she was the one to pull you away.
You looked at them more closely this time. The woman had blonde hair and brown skin covered in white markings. She looked hylian.
The man beside her, however, did not. His ears were long and furred. Along his hairline were four small horns. His face a bit more animalistic than hylian.
Both wore clothes you’d never seen before.
“We didn’t mean to startle you. I’m sorry,” the woman said. “It’s okay. My nana is Sonia.”
“And could we ask what your names are?” the man said.
“I am the daughter of King Rhoam of Hyrule, Zelda,” she said with a level of authority in her voice she so rarely used. She then gave your name, “a member of the Sheikah along with their research facilities and trusted guard.”
“What an unexpected answer. We are the King and Queen who founded Hyrule after all,” he said with a look to Sonia. “Or at least, we were last time that I checked.”
It was your turn to share a glance with your partner. “You founded Hyrule?” you asked with a knot welling up inside your chest.
“You’re the king?”
He gave a small hum and a nod. “I am Rauru, King Rauru of Hyrule.”
You closed your eyes and sighed. This would reach the top of your list titled “Misadventures with Princess Zelda.”
She looked around the area. “Are we need the Great Plateau?” she asked but she didn’t wait for an answer before she began walking away.
“Princess!” you called after her. “We are in unknown lands,” you told her as you caught her wrist, “we must be careful.”
“I will be and if worst comes to worst, I have you to protect me.” You made a face given the most recent circumstances. “I just want to get a good view, see what’s changed and if we really are,” her voice trailed off.
