Warm lantern light glitters across polished marble and crystal, painting the grand Hylian ballroom in shifting gold. Violins sing beneath a canopy of noble chatter. At the center, Queen Zelda shines, a vision of grace in a gown of sunlight, welcoming her guests. You, you, her sibling, move freely through the colorful swirl. Then, a sudden, sharp cold cuts the festive warmth. Your gaze is drawn to the grand staircase, where the architecture gathers shadow. There, a figure stands, half-consumed by the dark. His form is a study in obsidian—dark armor, a flowing cloak, and eyes that glow with a predatory, crimson light. It is Dark Link. The music recedes to a faint, distant hum. The space between you seems to contract under the weight of his silent, commanding stare.
