Zelda's Enemies - Lord Argo of Akkala, War advisor of the King's Council

She watched him walk across the lawn towards her, steps smooth and calculated, lips twisted in an arrogant smirk, eyes smouldering. This was a look she knew set hearts racing, a look that had secured him lovers in both his court and hers. This was a man who savoured the hunt, a man who always got what he wanted and desired. Whom hungered for what he should not have. Lord Argo of Akkala had his eyes set on his greatest trophy. Her throne, her body, her legacy. Her. He was the first to swear fealty to Ganondorf, his large army of soldiers taking eastern Hyrule in a wave of blood. She still recalled the almost delicious sight of his arrogance morphing to terror as the Demon King ordered her to kill him, his usefulness ended. The pitiful sounds of his begging echoing through the dark throne room, as she raised her kunai. Frost began to appear on the grass around her skirts and the air began to chill as she levelled her glare at him. His only acknowledgment a further widening of his smirk as a glint of teeth appeared. He did not shy away from the challenge of felling a ferocious beast. He bowed and gracefully took her hand, lips gliding softly over her knuckles, amber eyes never leaving her steel green ones. “Good morning my Princess.” She tilted her head up and let the venom drip from her tongue. “Never yours.”

When the royal girlie squad is chilling at a Hyrule Castle ball and overhear some arrogant prick Lords whispering about Zelda.

Little Lady Neisha: "Mother what does that voe mean by "taking Auntie Zelda to wife??" Chief Sajani: "It means it's time to fetch mummy's scimitars." Zelda *hears this shit on a daily basis*

Dragon Knights of Akkala - Volga vs Argo

[revsforgottenwar]

Zelda's Allies: Sajani, Chief of the Gerudo

Forced to relinquish her throne to Ganondorf as per Gerudo custom, she is now a staunch ally of the Hylians after his defeat. Bold and self-assured, she is highly respected amongst the Gerudo as a leader, warrior and mother.

She has great respect for Zelda, the young Princess showing promise to be a great Queen. She is irritated however by the expectations placed on her by the court especially pressure to marry, something that Sajani knows from personal experience is completely irrelevant to a woman’s ability to rule.

Her years long feud with Nabooru the Sage of Spirit is a constant source of gossip in Gerudo town, much to the curiosity of her 13 year old daughter…

Zelda's Allies: Volga The Dragon Knight.

Former Lord of Akkala, turned cursed Wyrm, turned Guardian of the Spring of Power, Volga’s history is fraught with both prestige and darkness.

After more than a century trapped in his cursed form as the dragon Volvagia, he is set free by Zelda and Link. He swears fealty to her and becomes instrumental in dealing with his corrupt great-great nephew, the current Lord of Akkala, Argo.

Zelda's Allies: Agitha, Princess of Insects.

Brought to the Royal Court by her father the Mayor of Castle Town, she is immediately ostracised by the young nobles for being both “odd” and “new money”.

After Zelda discovers her powerful nature magic she takes her under her wing and promotes her to the prestigious position as her lady-in-waiting much to the horror of the other noblewomen.

Finding both a mentor and friend in Zelda, Agitha will not hesitate to assist her in any way necessary.

Besides nothing will distract an entire castle from a disappearing Princess than an infestation…

Zelda's Allies: Shad the Scholar

A bookshop owner in Castle Town, he is recruited by the mysterious Sheik to uncover the truth hidden in the myths and legends written about the Hero of Time. A story that has been altered so many times over the centuries to the benefit of those who wish to influence the people, that many would not recognise him were he to be reappear...

Presuming of course the hero was ever more than a bedtime story...

Impa - Protector, Teacher, Sage

As the Hylian Civil War neared it's end, training completed a young Impa readied herself to join her brothers and sisters in battle as a sworn warrior of Hyrule. However much to her disappointment and anger, the Elder instead gave her a mission of great importance. She was to travel away from the front lines and instead head to Hyrule Castle to become the Guardian of the baby Princess. As her mother had passed away, she was the only remaining vessel of the sacred bloodline and her safety was paramount. She buried her resentment and took her place as the little girl's shadow. In time she grew to truly love the child and knew there was nothing she wouldn't do to ensure the safety and happiness of her charge. When the time came, she relinquished her duty as Zelda's protector to become the Sage of Shadow. Many amongst the Royal Council were concerned for the Princess's safety and her souring attitude without Impa's steadying influence. But little did they know that Impa had long left the Princess equiped to defend herself and take control of her destiny... as both her family and honoured teacher.

Lord Argo of the Akkala Citadel 

Also known by his moniker The Twilit Dragon, Argo’s skill in battle is as great as his arrogance. Not content on his wealth and power earned via inheriting the seat of Akkala, he has set his eyes upon the Throne of Hyrule. A man used to getting what he wants, and whomever he desires, he will not rest until he makes the Princess his wife. 

Luckily for him there are members of the Royal Council willing to help the young ambitious man succeed, if only to tighten their own hands on the kingdom...
