It was the dawn of a new day in the land of Hyrule, the sun slowly rose over the horizon of beautiful and luscious green hills. The air was cool and crisp, it was at the end of summer and fall was growing near. The leaves were starting to change color and the animals were heading south. The town's folk began to start their day; businesses started opening up and the children got up for school.

In the center of the town, stood the castle of the kingdom. The home to the royal family of Hyrule. As the town got to work, so did the staff of the castle; workers began cleaning, soldiers guarded the beautiful hallways of the castle and the cooks were making breakfast .

In the upper levels of the castle, in a beautiful, lavish bedroom; laid a beautiful woman sleeping peacefully. She was nearly thirty, but she still had a youthful look to her. She had very fair skin, long beautiful golden bronzed hair; and beautiful features on her face. Her name was Zelda, the princess of Hyrule.

As the sun rose higher in the sky, beams of light pass through the window; beaming down onto the sleeping princess. The light landed on her eyes, causing her to stirr in her sleep. She then slowly opened her deep blue ocean eyes. She slowly sat up in her bed stretching with a smile on her face. She climbed out of bed and walked over to the window, she stared down to at the town and her people. She saw her citizens starting their day, starting to work and enjoy the day.

"What a beautiful day…" She said with a warm smile, she continued to stare out the window until she heard a knock at the door. "Enter," she said facing away from the window.

In walked in a young girl, in her late teens. She had light blonde hair, hazel eyes and was almost as tall as Zelda; she wore a light blue and lavender dress with matching shoes. And her hand was a tray of food and a cup of tea.

"Good morning your grace," she greeted with a smile, bowing to her princess.

"Good morning, Nima," Zelda greeted with a smile.

Zelda walked over to Nima as she placed the tray on her vanity. She sat down on her vanity round chair, and ate her breakfast as Nima began to brush her hair. This was Zelda's morning routine; wake up, eat breakfast while Nima brushes her hair and then get ready for the day.

Nima is her lady in waiting, but she considers her more as a very close friend. She could always talk to NIma about anything, and she would listen. And she always supported her, even when others were against her at times.

"How is your breakfast, Zelda?" Nima asked as she continued to brushing Zelda's hair.

"It's wonderful, delicious as always," Zelda answered with a smile.

"Yes, the castle cook knows how to make a good meal," she said in agreeance, "it's a beautiful day outside, have you noticed?"

"I have, it's a good day to spend some time in the castle garden. After my meetings, I plan on spending some time outdoors."

"That sounds good, I will be sure to bring you a some tea and cake."

"Thank you, Nima," Zelda said with an appreciative smile.

Suddenly there's a knock on the door, Nima stopped brushing Zelda's hair and walked up to the door. She opened to see a maid with a plate of letters.

"The morning mail for the princess," said the maid.

"Thank you," said Nima as she took the letters from the maid. The maid nodded and left, Nima closed the door; she walked back over to Zelda, handing her the letters. She then returned to brushing her hair.

Zelda opened first letter; it was a letter from the mayor of the castle town. Giving her updates on things going on in town, business related things and updates on the economy.

The second letter was from her friend, Princess Ruto of Zora. She has been friends with Ruto since they were children, despite being different races and living far apart. Ruto wrote to her often, talking about her life and things with her kingdom. Of course Zelda always wrote back, they always wrote when they weren't seeing each other.

The third letter was from a man named Prince Harold, she met him a few weeks ago at a ball she threw. He wrote to tell about how he enjoyed his time with her at the ball. She sighed and moved on to the next, which was a letter from another prince, named Wesley.

Zelda read through it quickly, Then moved on the last one, which was also a letter from a prince.

Zelda deeply sighed and put away the letters.

"Is everything alright, Zelda?" Nima asked.

"I have three letters, from three different princes. Who attended the ball I hosted a few weeks ago," she told her lady in waiting.

"What did they say?" Nima asked.

"Basically they all said the same thing, how they all enjoyed their time," Zelda answered.

During the ball she hosted, her council recommended her to meet princes. To meet one so that she can find a husband to marry. But unfortunately for her, none of the suitors she liked at all. Prince Harold while a good ruler, but he was full of himself, and he seemed like the type who would marry for political reasons. And she found him very boring.

Prince Wesley was an absolute ladies man, so right off the back he wasn't for her. He was also irresponsible and spoiled. The third and last prince, once again a good ruler, but they didn't feel a connection. And they saw each other as allies, she also found him to be a bit too serious. She could tell just from talking to her, that he wasn't interested in marriage with her.

"Do you find any of them interesting?" Nima asked.

"No, none of them I find interesting," Zelda said, "it was the council's suggestion for me to spend time with them. They want me to find a prince to marry."

"Are you not interested in marriage, Zelda?"

"I do want to get married, but I do not want to marry someone I am not in love with. And I do not want to do it for political reasons. I want to marry someone who will love me for me, not because I am the princess of all Hyrule. Someone I can trust to rule my kingdom as equals."

"I see what you mean, and I agree. You should not marry someone you do not love, you wouldn't be happy. But Zelda...think about this, you are nearly thirty years old. You have ruled your kingdom on your own for the past seven years, after the king died. Is not time to start finding a husband? After all, in order to become queen, you need to marry a prince or a king."

"That is very true, but...you do not go looking for love, Nima. You let love find you, and that is what I am doing. I will wait to for one for me to show up, and I will know who's the one when I meet him." Zelda told her with a warm smile.

"Very well, your highness," said Nima respectfully.

After her breakfast, Zelda got dressed in her royal attire. A purple and white silvery dress; with hints of rose gold at the bottom. Along with long sleeved white and rose gold groves, she also wore royal gold shoulder plates, white some blue gems on it. And hanging from her dress, a fabric with royal crest of Hyrule. And finally she wore purple heels and her tiara.

The day went by as usual business, Zelda attended meeting with her council to discuss some things. Updates on things going on in the town or in other places of Hrule, trade and political discussions. Once the meeting was over, Zelda sat in her throne room, having citizens come talk to her about problems, so that she can help them out. Zelda loved her people very much, and would do anything to help them out.

After that, she spent an hour and a half, sitting out in the castle garden. Enjoying the beautiful weather while having tea and cake. The weather was a little warmer than it was in the morning, but they air was still cool. There were a few clouds in bright blue sky, and the sun was high in the sky. To where the high beams shined through the leaves, some leaves were starting to change color and some were still green. The summer flowers have already went to sleep and the fall flowers were blooming in the castle gardens.

Zelda sat a white outdoor table with a cup of tea and a half eaten piece of cake. She sighed contently, taking in all of the nice weather. This was one of her favorite pass times, just sitting outside. Thinking about things, admiring the fields of Hyrule and having some time to herself. Just to take a break from her duties as a princess, which was a breath of fresh air. And while she liked being a princess, there are times where she wanted to be herself and be a normal woman.

"I knew I would find you out here, Zelda," said a woman's voice suddenly, which surprised Zelda. She turned around to find a familiar face standing before her.

The woman was much older than her; she had long silver hair, she had red eyes and slightly tanned skin. She had pointed hears, thought not as pointy as hers. Her attire consisted of blue and silver armor with markings on the chest. And to top it all with a dark brown scarf, embossed with beads.

"Oh, hello Impa. I did not hear walk over to me," Zelda greeted with a smile.

"That's because you were not paying attention," said Impa as she walked over to her side.

"That is true, I was too busy enjoying the view, that I blocked everything else out."

"How are you doing today, Princess?" Impa asked.

"I am doing well, thank you," Zelda said with a smile.

"Enjoying the weather today?"

"Oh yes, the weather today is beautiful. And you know me, I love spending time outdoors when the weather is wonderful. It is very relaxing and it gives me time to relax."

"Indeed, it is always nice to take a break. And you deserve a break every one and then, knowing how busy you can be." Impa told her, Zelda nodded in agreement.

Impa knew Zelda better than anyone in the entire kingdom, aside from her now deceased parents. Not only was she her bodyguard, she is also her caretaker. After her mother died when she was younger, Impa took care of her and raised like she was her own child. Despite being Sheikah, Zelda considered her family, and saw her as a second mother. Zelda spent the rest of her time in the garden, talking with Impa.

That evening, the sun was starting to set over the land of Hyrule. Businesses were closing for the day and people were turning in for the night. In the castle, the doors were soon to be closed to the public, unless it was someone came there for business.

In her throne room, Zelda was sitting on her throne, going over a few documents until dinner was ready. Impa stood on the right side of her throne, while Nima stood on her left. This was also part of her everyday routine; almost every evening, she would go over some things that had happened that day until dinner was ready. And she liked to do it her throne room, just so her staff could have a talk with her or inform her of anything important. As she sat there, one of her servants walked in, it was the guest announcer.

"Lieutenant General Ralon Gragmon!" the Announcer said. In walked a middle aged Hylian general; he wore the royal Hyrule armor, which was engraved with his ranking. His skin was starting to wrinkle and he had a few scars on his face, showing that he had been through a lot in his life. He had a grey goatee attach to his moustache and he had hazel eyes. General Ralon walked up to to the throne and bowed to the princess.

"Your Highness," he greeted.

"General Ralon, how are you this evening?" Zelda asked.

"I am well Madam," he said, "I have come to inform you about our new recruits for my army."

"Oh good, how are the new recruits then?"

"They have proven to have high potential skills, I can see that these young men truly wish to serve their kingdom. And to protect it at all costs, and while they still need training. I believe that these men, are taking this seriously." He told her.

"Well, this is good news General," she said with a pleased smile, "I trust you and the others will train these soldiers well."

Thank you, your Highness," he said, "I swear to you, that I will do my best to prepare these recruits."

"I know you will," she said.

"Your Highness, someone else is here to see you," said the Announcer. Everyone's attention turned to the man walking into the room. He was obviously hylian; he appeared to be in his mid thirties. He had long grey blonde hair, he had grey blue eyes. He wore dark clothes and earrings. He also wore pieces of armor on his arms, legs and chest. And to top it all off, he had a sword around his waist. The man walked up to where General Ralon was standing, who politely stood aside in order for him to see the princess.

"Good evening your Highness," the man said as he bowed, "I am Talon Finch, I am leader of a group of bounty hunters. And he take it upon ourselves to hunt for the most dangerous people, in all of Hyrule and bring them to justice."

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Finch," Zelda greeted.

"Please, the honor is mine, your grace," he said, "to be able to meet you in person."

"You're welcome then, so what brings you here this evening?" She asked.

"Ah yes, I come here your highness. I have come here to give a gift," he said, "for me and my men have the greatest enemy of all Hyrule, the worst of the worst. And while it was not easy, we fought hard and kept on hunting. Until we out smarted this individual and trapped him."

Ralon Finch snapped his fingers, the throne room doors opened up. In walked several men dressed in the same attire as Finch, who walked in with chain rope in theirs hand. Leading a tall figure, covered in a dark cloak into the room. They stopped in the middle of the room, Finch then slowly walked up to his men and the cloaked figure.

Zelda and the other s stared at what these men brought into the court. They watched in silence and uneasiness, Zelda especially felt uneasy, for she had no idea what hid behind the dark cloak. She suspected it to be either a trap or someone actually very dangerous, that could bring great danger to everyone in the entire kingdom. Impa and Nima stood closer to Zelda's throne and waiting for Finch, General Ralon stood on the bottom of the steps leading to the throne.

Finch walked up to the cloaked figure then turned to face Zelda.

"Princess Zelda, ladies and gentleman of the court, I give you the man we have capture!" He said as he pulled the cloak off. What was underneath the cloak, left everyone staring in shock and in horror.

"Behold, the man all of Hyrule fears and loathes," Finch announced, "the monster whose wars have burned our kingdom centuries, the demon who haunts our thoughts and minds. The king of thieves and the ruler of Gerudo Valley. I give you….Ganondorf!"
