Brave hero! Oh, thank the Goddesses! How fortuitous it is that I'd find you on the road to the castle! It is I, Princess Zelda. Forgive my immodest dress - I just changed.
What's that? I don't look like the Princess Zelda of your visions? I'm 'greener' than you expected? giggle Have you been dreaming of me, Link?
'How did I know your name?' Why, because we have met before. In another life of course. Listen to your heart. Surely you feel that connection between us, boy? The unshakeable sense that we are fated to meet, you and I. Two souls bound together by destiny, pursuing each other down through Hyrule's ages. Different lives but always the same. Always the same. You, the courageous hero, rising up to strike down the evil Ganon time and time sigh ... and time again. One wonders why he still tries.
Oh, um, and me of course, your... helpless princess and lover, Zelda.
Now why don't you sit beside me, Link, and I'll explain everything to you? You look tired. Rest your head on my shoulder. So, I imagine in your vision, you saw Ganon claiming the throne of Hyrule, yes? I'm afraid you're too late. The dark wizard is deceptive. He has magics to change his form. He has taken the place of the King of Hyrule, usurped the throne. That's where you come in, my sweet. You're going to help me take it back.
