I'm reading up on Zelda 2 instead of playing it and ran into this:
The Prince of Hyrule is the son of the King of Hyrule and brother of Princess Zelda I.
Huh?? There's a Zelda who has a brother??
When the king passes away, the young prince becomes king, but no crest appears on his hand, instead only inheriting the incomplete Triforce. A Magician close to the young king suggests that Princess Zelda might know something about it. (--) The Magician threatens her with a spell of eternal slumber, but she stubbornly refuses. The Magician chants the spell, and she collapses in that spot. (--) The young king regrets his mistake and grieves for Princess Zelda. (--) He then orders that every girl born into the Royal Family will be named Zelda to let the tragedy never be forgotten.
Ah, the drama! The young royal who feels inadequate over not inheriting their powers correctly, this is like botw! The sibling jealousy! A fateful mistake committed in a moment of fury and the ensuing regret! Starting the name tradition! I think we as a fandom are really sleeping on this guy, I mean I could find some art of him but there's clearly material for him to have more presence. And the games themselves certainly could give the Zeldas some other family than a dad who looks old enough to be her great-grandfather if we're lucky (and a dead mum if we're really lucky).

Was thinking about the Lore™ adjustments/expansions for the timeline of my Zelda story and felt like drawing the Prince of Hyrule from Zelda 2
I imagine he was like. A normal person with normal person flaws and vices before the magician came along and started encouraging all of his worst impulses.
After he got his sister cursed, he refused to be crowned as king, and ruled with the title of prince his entire life.

Anyone else think Yona should have been taller than Sidon? Doesn’t matter, because I’m here to deliver.

Link: What are your goals?
Sidon: To pet Tulin’s fluffy head.
Link: I’ll be more specific. What are your training goals?
Sidon: Run fast enough to pet Tulin’s fluffy head
Link: …any other training goals?
Sidon: Be strong enough to lift Tulin to pet his fluffy head.

Rulers of New Hyrule (Altered AU)
Years went into rebuilding Hyrule, the princess working closely with the people of the land to make Hyrule safe and comfortable once again. When the Upheaval came, it put a setback into the process, and the project was put on hold. When the Princess returned with her knight at her side, her and the people were only more determined to complete this massive project. The people celebrated the return of there princess and the defeat of the demon king, and asked her to officially take her place on the throne. Zelda was apprehensive about the prospect, but ultimately agreed on the condition that the main settlements be finished before any work on the castle would be done before she took the throne. When that time finally came, the day was shared with a wedding, and a duel coordination. That day would be forever celebrated as the day two beloved figures took the throne, Queen Zelda, and Prince Link.
Okay so here’s the big project I’ve been working on for weeks!! Link and Zelda are officially a couple in this au and eventually take the throne, Zelda becoming a queen and Link becoming a prince consort. I’ll post more lore on this part of their journey soon and it’s timeline once I figure that out but first I have some reference sheets for y’all!! I hope you like them!
