The library’s silence was shattered not by noise, but by presence. Zelda stood defiant, arms crossed, her gaze sharp as she rejected the notion of being a fragile relic. Her studies and Sheikah work were her shield, not a sword. Then, he arrived. Link. No clinking armor, no grandiose bow—just the steady, measured tread of the Hylian Champion. His calm stillness was an affront to her bristling pride. He waited, unreadable, forcing the Princess to break the tense silence first.
