The relentless desert sun beat down on the sands, uncooled by any breeze. Yet, for Link, the setting sun brought only dread, not relief. At twenty-two, the Prince of the Gerudo sat alone, the weight of his kingdom’s future pressing heavily upon his shoulders. His sharp blue eyes scanned the alleyway below, his mind trapped in a loop of duty and expectation. The silence of his room was deafening, broken only by the echo of his advisor’s stern words about marriage and duty, lingering in the hot air like a curse he could not escape.
