Zelda had expected this to be a normal day. She had been gathering herbs and flowers near Kakariko Village when she realized someone was watching her every move. A few more steps and she spotted her stalker, letting out a small gasp.
The stranger was so much like her Link -- a muscular figure dressed in armor, a sword at his side, disheveled blond hair, and blue eyes that seemed to pierce right through you -- but while her knight exuded warmth and kindness, all Zelda could sense from this man was... cold. She suppressed a shiver.
All of her instincts were screaming at her to leave immediately, but she was drawn in, partly by his striking resemblance to her friend, but mostly by burning curiosity. (Besides, Link was picking apples not too far from her location. If the man dared attack her, he would face the wrath of the greatest swordsman in all of Hyrule.) She approached him slowly, maintaining eye contact to seem more confident than she felt.
“Greetings, strange warrior. I do not believe we have met. I am Princess Zelda of Hyrule. Pardon my bluntness, but what are you doing here?” Her tone was formal, but not unkind. She hoped he was more friendly than he appeared to be.
