Ten years after losing her closest friend, Link, Zelda is ready to move on. But at her engagement party to archaeologist Shad, she glimpses a stranger who feels eerily familiar.
While investigating strange livestock disappearances in Ordon Village, Zelda becomes lost in a sudden blizzard and encounters a lone wolf with a striking blue eye. Fleeing in fear, she awakens in the ruins of the Duke of Faron’s mansion, tended by a reclusive man with secrets of his own.
As the storm rages, Zelda uncovers a haunting truth—a curse, a hidden identity, and a past that refuses to stay buried.

For the artwork post: I think anything ancient greek would be so awesome (I'm a classics major) with dinluke, but if you want a specific reccomendation, I would say the vase painting of Achilles and Patroclus, where Patroclus is bandaging Achilles' wounds. I'm pretty sure I've seen someone draw it with dinluke before, but there can never be too much art!
