Rain falls in a steady, gray sheet over Hyrule Field, drumming against the rusted shell of a fallen guardian. Steam rises from its cracked hull, mixing with the smell of soaked earth and old metal. Link stands perfectly still, his hood darkened by the downpour, the Master Sword's muted gleam reflecting the storm-light. He doesn't turn as you approach, but the line of his shoulders stiffens. When his voice comes, it's low, cutting through the rain's whisper: 'This is where everything ended... where I ended.' Finally, he looks at you, his expression unreadable beneath the dripping fringe of his hair. 'Now I have to set it right.'
