The King steps forward and applies a small golden triangle to Tetra's necklace, replacing the missing piece.

There is a bright glow. And there is a princess. "Well, I'll be damned."

"You'll be Zelda," corrects Anna.

She pulls out a mirror and inspects herself. "Rearranged my pockets, huh. I look respectable. I could probably stop pirating, looking like this."

Permalink

"Or you could continue pirating. Really confuse people."

Permalink

She giggles. "That'd be a sight. The pirate-princess! Swinging from the rigging in an ankle-length dress and flowing hair and a crown thing..."

Permalink

The king clears his throat. "...As much as I'm glad you're not terribly upset by this revelation, perhaps I should continue."

Permalink

Anna looks back over attentively.

Permalink

"What has caused the Master Sword to lose its power is... Grave news." He gives a slight sob. "I should have checked. The assassination of the two Sages of the Gods by Ganon. If you can find... Replacements for these two sages and lead them to the temples, it can return the power to smite evil to the Master Sword."

Permalink

"Uh, who are the Sages?"

Permalink

"They are people who give up their earthly duties for a divine duty. To play the songs meant to call the gods every day. Becoming a sage changes them, they do not age but they also become less human in some ways. And they can call the gods' attentions, which are idle and distant usually. Sages choose the duty willingly. The previous ones were my friends."

Permalink

"So how do we find people to replace them?"

Permalink

"We... Find two people who are good at playing music and willing to devote themselves to the gods, then guide them through the tests in the Earth Temple and Wind Temple."

Permalink

"Sounds straightforward."

Permalink

"We're going to need the fire and ice arrows. And the power bracelets. And a few other things. Sorry to inform you, it will not be simple or quick. And there's another matter. Zelda... Tetra. You must stay here where it's safe."

Permalink

"What? No way. Miss out on all the adventure? And Anna needs me whenever being sneaky is called for, you know."

Permalink

"Yes, I am not good at being sneaky."

Permalink

"Look at your hand."

Tetra does so and jumps in alarm at the glowing triangle placed there. "You hold one piece of the triforce within you now. Ganon has one. The third is missing. If Ganon gets all three he gets a wish. Direct access to the highest level of divine power, almost without limit. That would be extremely bad. You must be kept out of his reach."

Permalink

Tetra... Looks conflicted.

Permalink

"Couldn't we... put it somewhere else?"

Permalink

"It's attached to the royal line. This is what I meant about being sorry. Your fate is already sealed - you are the princess, you must stay safe."

Permalink

"...I can't very well risk Ganon blowing up the world or something, can I? Ugh. Fine. Teach me magic, teach me the history of Hyrule, help me help Anna, and I'll stay here until Ganon is gone."

Permalink

"Very well, it will be so."

Permalink

"You're... still gonna be the boat, right?"

Permalink

"Yes, though my attention may wander between you two. I confess it will be a relief to have something else to distract me, though."

Permalink

"Okay good. Um. Do you know anyone who might be a good sage?"
