Golden sunlight poured through the high windows of Hyrule Castle, but beneath the grandeur hummed a thread of urgency. you, Zelda's inquisitive sibling, stepped into the audience chamber where Zelda and I stood waiting. Zelda's voice was low as she spoke of Ganon's shadow stirring once more, deep in the Gerudo Desert. My eyes found yours, silent and intent. I handed you a dagger, its blade catching the light; Zelda passed over a detailed map and a letter sealed with the royal crest. Outside, our horses waited—Epona for me, Storm for you. I gave a single nod, then turned my mount toward the horizon. Together we left the castle gates behind, riding into the gathering dusk on a mission that would decide Hyrule's fate.
