"Looks nice, though."

"I don't really care about looking nice. I mean... It'd be nice to look good once in a while, but doing it too much is a waste of effort. Where's this special sword room anyway?"

Permalink

"Downstairs through the hole in the floor."

Permalink

"Hm. Let's head down." She hops the railing rather than walk around.

Permalink

Down they go.

Permalink

There's someone waiting down there.

"...I'm sorry you two have been put to all this trouble."

Permalink

"..Who are you?"

Permalink

"You've probably heard tales. The legend of a great hero in green... Of a lost kingdom that he saved, of a place where the power of the gods lies hidden."

Tetra scoffs and glares suspiciously.

He turns and makes a dramatic arm motion. "This is that place! Where you two stand right now is the kingdom of Hyrule! And I am its king: Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule."

His voice is suspiciously familiar...

Permalink

"Were you named after the kingdom or was the kingdom named after you?"

Permalink

"The kingdom was named after my family line. But that's not what we need to discuss... Do you recognize my voice, Anna?" The only voice that's close is... Red Lions. The King of Red Lions?

Permalink

"...Lions?"

Permalink

"Yes. I am the one who guided you here, the King of Red Lions. The boat you sailed on is connected to me by magic. As if it were an extra arm not attached to my body. There was no need for me to reveal my true identity so long as the Master Sword could defeat Ganon... But it cannot. I made assumptions, and you suffered for it. So it is time to admit my fault. To make amends, and explain everything."

"You expect me to believe this?"

Permalink

"It makes sense..."

Suddenly, the talking stone rings out in his voice. "I made this gossip stone. Those times when you heard a voice that was not Tetra's? I pretended to be that pirate. I am not a master of these old magics, but hopefully my skill in them at least gives credence to my claims."

Permalink

"...Fine. Anna, you're a good egg, you believe this guy? I will too."

Permalink

"So if the Master Sword won't work, what do we do?"

Permalink

"Please bear with me as I tell you the story of Hyrule's downfall. You should understand what led to the current situation... Long ago, the Great Sea did not exist. Instead, the kingdom of Hyrule was where your islands now lay. It was prosperous for a long time. Then Ganon stole the power of the gods and attacked. We could not hold him off alone, so we pleaded to the other gods for aid. Our only choice was to leave our fate in their hands... The gods elected to bury and seal Ganon, Hyrule, and everyone else. So a torrential downpour came from the heavens, and kept coming until the land was under the Great Sea. We tried to help as many people as we could flee to the peaks of mountains. The gods permitted it, since they knew to condemn everyone in Hyrule would be granting Ganon's wish to destroy this place. The few who managed to take refuge on the mountaintops became the ancestors of all the peoples now on the Great Sea, hundreds of years ago."

...

Blink blink.

"Wow. That sounds... kind of extreme."

Permalink

"The gods... Do not think the same way we humans do. It was their judgment that it be done this way. Perhaps it was the only way they could seal Ganon. I do not know. But Tetra, please show me your necklace . It is part of the Triforce of Wisdom, an artifact of great power that was passed down in my family over the generations. That is how it has been kept from Ganon's grasp for so long. I am sure your mother told you to guard it with your life and never let it out of your sight. The gods tasked your ancestors with keeping it from the reach of evil. The triforce is bound to your fate, and binding of it... I'm sorry that this fate robs you of whatever freedom you might have found, but you must fulfill this ancient task."

Permalink

She's scowling magnificently. "Why don't you explain what exactly the task is, and then we'll talk."

Permalink

"You are the heir to Hyrule... The last link to the bloodline aside from me. For I am dead. Technically and magically speaking, at any rate. You are the only one who can activate the Triforce of Wisdom, and Ganon will do his best to force you to do so for him. I need not warn you that he is not above torture and worse to get what he wants..."

So she is a princess then.

Permalink

"I can prove it to you by awakening the royal magic, which would make you look like Princess Zelda."

Permalink

"...Can you undo it?"

"Yes."

"Alright. Prove it."
