*The first pale light of dawn seeps through the stone arches of Hyrule Castle, catching dust in the crisp, still air. Ganondorf stands motionless, his dark skin stark against the grey masonry as he watches Rinku.

The King’s yellow eyes shift from his daughter to you, seated on the nearby steps. For a moment, his stern expression breaks, revealing a rare, gentle warmth.*
