DESPITE THE SIZE OF THE KINGDOM, rumors spread across hyrule like a wildfire. usually they were nothing worth looking into, but the rumor of the mysterious visitor had immediately caught the princess’ attention. upon hearing that he was headed to castle town, she hadn’t been able to resist taking the chance to meet the stranger.
wandering without guards was never recommended, but zelda knew she was perfectly safe in castle town, and so she left the castle without an escort.
the visitor was easy to spot. they almost looked hylian, but they were missing several key features of the race that the princess was more than familiar with identifying. slowly, she approached, a small smile on her face.
❝ just passing through? ❞ she asked softly, ❝ or is there something you’re looking for? ❞
