It feels strange to receive gratitude from Sidon. To listen to him tell it, I am a wellspring of wisdom. In my mind I continue to be a learner, with so far to go. I confided this to Link. He simply gave a silent smile that took my breath away. #Zelink #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelda #TotK

I spoke to Sidon with Link's advice in mind. I was so worried about hurting him but if anything, he's now more spirited than ever! He is inspired to discuss a "honeymoon adventure" with Yona. It would be a fair compromise, and romantic too. #Zelink #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelda #TotK

When I don't know what to do, I talk to Link. He was silent for a long time before his answer. "When I can't do something for you, I find things to do." The words meant far more than they said, and we both knew it. Our embrace was everything. #Zelink #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelda #TotK

I did not think of the situation this way, nor did Sidon. But what about the next time there is a disagreement, and it is about something more serious? Sidon is looking on me with so much hope. How can I speak of this without discouraging him? #Zelink #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelda #TotK

I went to Mineru and Purah for advice. "Since when does a good husband count on another woman to talk to his wife?" Purah's blunt words were echoed by Mineru's diplomacy. It was Rauru's joy to talk through everything with Sonia, no matter what. #Zelink #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelda #TotK

I try to write a letter for Yona, but the words do not come. Her thoughts are noble. In her place, would I be different? Yet I have seen how celebration can be a boon to all, and what of the nobility of Sidon's wish to show love? I am torn in two. #Zelink #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelda #TotK

Sidon has a happy, awkward problem. He wishes to give Yona a proper wedding party, but what is one to do if the bride judges such a thing a "selfish extravagance" in these times? He hopes I can convince her. But is it my place to, even if I could? #Zelink #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelda #TotK

Sidon has taken to giving stirring accounts of his exploits with Link, and my adventures too. I daresay he could make a fine bard! If the crown weighs on him, he doesn't show it. If anything, his cheerful countenance is more reassuring than ever. #Zelink #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelda #TotK

Yunobo went home. He offered to return his secret stone, in case I thought it could help more elsewhere. A humble act but absurd, though I'm not one to talk. Link wisely said the offer proved that he should keep it. He's come so far. I love him. #Zelink #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelda #TotK

I'm not certain but based on what I know and what Yunobo is telling me about what he can commit to rearming Hyrule, he may be wealthier than Father was before he married. I think I had better keep that to myself; it would embarrass him if he knew. #Zelink #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelda #TotK

If one thing worries me right now, it is the damage the upheaval has done to people's ability to defend themselves. Yunobo has pledged to spare no expense at employing and training blacksmiths to forge new equipment. Sidon and Riju will help too. #Zelink #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelda #TotK

Tulin is off to Rito Village with his parents. He actually embraced me before they left. I told him Revali and Raphica would be proud, I hope he believes it to be so. Saki thanked me with fruitcake. My weakness is an open secret, it would seem! #Zelink #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelda #TotK

Link and I sprung our surprise for Tulin. What began as an "archery contest" ended with a happy reunion when I emerged with Teba and Saki. Every word of praise Link wanted them to hear was sincere, and we all knew it. It was the least I could do. #Zelink #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelda #TotK

I wrote a letter to Teba and Saki. Tulin denies being homesick, but in him I see too much of the girl I was. He so badly wants to be seen as grown up, equal to the others. He thinks it means he can't be the first to go home. Home will come to him. #Zelink #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelda #TotK

Link and I had "archery practice" in Lookout Landing. He hit every mark, as did I with his "guidance". They saw it all. Every gentle touch and intense look for my "rewards". Every kiss. We were both right. It was embarrassing and perfect. #totk #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink

Link has asked for a session of "archery practice" with me in the heart of Lookout Landing. If we do that, everyone will be watching. All he did was smile when I said so. Oh, my heart... #totk #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink

It would be easy to use the Skyview Tower system to transport us near to Hateno Village. But rather than that, I would journey there with Link. That way I can see more of Hyrule, and perhaps we can be of help too. I feel like I'm seventeen again! #totk #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink

The time is near for us to part, for a time. Riju and Sidon have duties. Mineru and Purah have much to talk about. Tulin is homesick, Yunobo has his business. For my part...I ache to be with Link in our little house. I miss home. I miss my kids. #totk #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink

I am reassured to hear that the Lucky Clover Gazette is far from done in its reporting of our accounts. I am even invited to submit my own writing about Rauru and Sonia and what I learned about the founding. I only hope I can do them justice. #totk #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink

There's a new fruitcake this morning, since Link saw how much I was enjoying the one from yesterday. This one's got mighty bananas and hydromelon slices, that is a new combination. Perhaps it will last through tomorrow...maybe. #totk #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink

I've got an "apology fruitcake" from Purah. Entirely unnecessary, of course, I know that her laughter was out of love. And besides...fruitcake. She always did know how to make me feel better. #totk #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink

Happy 40th old friend.

Needless to say, I am embarrassed and moved. Their feelings for me are akin to my feelings for them. Link and Mineru are adamant that I shouldn't diminish what I did. I didn't mean to. I only wish everyone to know I was never alone in any of it. #totk #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink

I gathered our friends. I earnestly promised to do a better job praising them, and I said that I was sorry the press made me look too important. Everyone except Link stared as though I were insane. Purah completely lost it and fell down laughing. #totk #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink

This is terrible. I have no right to interfere with an independent newspaper, but I must find Traysi and implore her to give everyone their due! And dear Mineru and our friends, what are they feeling? I must gather everyone and apologize at once! #totk #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink

I cannot believe it! The Lucky Clover Gazette has the headline "Hyrule's Warrior Princess Comes Home!" I had so much to say about everyone's help, yet I am spoken of most! Link actually asked why I am upset! Madness! It was he who slew the dragon! #totk #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink

I know the Master Sword would not be exalted, lest she be made into a false idol and treated like her maker. Even so, I will at least say this. If she could be seen in a body, I believe she would be the most beautiful living thing in the world. #totk #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink

Today, Zelda Universe turns 25 years old!! Our #Zelda website was founded on February 20, 2001. We want to thank all the Zelda fans who have gathered in our community for joining in our celebration of The Legend of Zelda franchise for 25 years & counting. Thank you for being here. 💖 💖 💖

People say they feel strength and a mother's warmth when the Master Sword is near. To think this came from me. She believed in me when the girl that I was did not. She saw me for what I wanted to be. It is no wonder Link claimed her so easily. #totk #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink

For me, holding the Master Sword is a surreal experience. It now continues to radiate with my power, and now I know the warmth it gives to the others. I hesitate to call her transformed. She is...more. More of herself, as she was meant to be. #totk #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink

I remember when I was fifteen and feeling so lost. Link said the Master Sword existed for me. I pointed out that he was the chosen wielder, not I. He simply said "Yes, Princess." Looking back, maybe that day was when everything started to change. #TotK #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink

The Master Sword is misunderstood by many. She is not a reward to the righteous. She is a guardian. She gives herself to a kindred spirit. She acts at the right time for the right person for a just reason, or not at all. She is kind beyond compare. #TotK #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink

I heard her. The Master Sword. I took her into my hands. The last time we communed was... I...I can't. The bond we share is difficult to explain. We...feel together. She looks into me as I look into her, and we just...know. She's happy for us. #TotK #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink

My...hands-on training with Link was most successful. I am thinking we should make a routine out of "archery practice." Tulin heard me telling Link; he asked if he could come along. Riju handled it. I saw so much of Urbosa in her knowing smile. #TotK #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink

I have the perfect idea for later. When Link and I are alone in the wild I will show off the archery skills I learned, and I'll ask for guidance with refining my form. He knows I don't need training, of course. I wish it was tonight already... #TotK #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink

I'm going riding with Link, just the two of us. I want him all to myself today. He told me he'd get our horses ready before I had the chance to say a word, and then he kissed my hand. How does he do it? #TotK #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink

Arrangements are made for new royal blue clothing. For now, I am wearing a classic Hylian Tunic again. It is unlike a princess, that is what I'd be told a century ago. I care not. I am one of them too. I fell in love wearing this. This is my way. #TotK #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink

I've decided to give up my Zonai dress for preservation. It means a lot to me, but I cannot bear the thought of wearing it out. Link supports me. I can tell he regrets seeing it go, yet the way he looks at me remains the same. I love him so. #TotK #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink

Mineru's compassionate and wise words were exactly what I needed. What was it that rose her and Rauru and Sonia to such heights before we ever met, and do I walk that path now too? Is this what it is like to have an elder sister, I wonder? #TotK #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink

I am surrounded by so much love. So many people working so hard, with so much spirit. That's right. A kingdom isn't something just given to the people, as though a royal is divine. It is what we can make and keep strong together, hand in hand. #TotK #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink

Mineru asked to see my old study at Hyrule Castle. I thought it odd, but we went. Afterward, we looked upon Lookout Landing and the celebration far below. "You didn't fail. What they sacrificed for is down there." I won't forget. Not ever. #TotK #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink

I tried to bring it back. I was a fool. Sonia told me. You ask the object where it was and how it arrived, then coax it back. But a home isn't one thing, and far too much is just gone. Link and Purah comforted me. They guessed. Of course they did. #TotK #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink

Penn got excited and asked if my time magic could restore Castle Town, or even Hyrule Castle. Mineru deems the idea absurd and dangerous, but I can't stop thinking about it. If there is even the smallest chance, is it a betrayal to not even try? #TotK #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink

After our battle together our friends became quite curious about my time magic and the Imprisoning War, so Mineru and I are spending afternoons telling our story. Traysi and Penn from the Lucky Clover Gazette are here, so I invited them to listen. #TotK #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink

Link left a bouquet of the Silent Princess flower and Sundelions for me to wake up to. It's still dawn. He must have woken up so early. It has been so wonderful to see everyone. But in this moment, I ache to be back in our little house again. #TotK #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink

There was a Silver Boss Bobokin sighting, but we made it in time. Our brave soldiers are safe. I wasn't ready for their amazement. I'd forgotten my people haven't seen me fight before or learned all of my story. Rumor will spread like wildfire. #TotK #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink

There is not, in fact, a way to edit the audio log. I get the feeling Purah knows the motivation for my inquiry, given her amusement. I am apparently "glowing". How silly, this is just how I feel all the time! ...I just did it again, didn't I? #TotK #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink

The clear sky and a golden sunrise welcomed me awake. I awoke him with a kiss. He smiled and said he'd make breakfast. We didn't have breakfast. Oh, good heavens. I wonder if there is a way to edit the audio log... #TotK #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink

The full moon was sublime. I couldn't look away. Not until Link's embrace brought me sleep, anyway. It is over. "This is your dream, beloved. We'll never have to wake from it again." Were those words a dream of mine, or his words truly spoken? #TotK #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink

Link and I are camping out within sight of New Serenne stable to watch the moon and the stars. He insists on handling dinner for us. I'll never forget how he looked at me or how he kissed me when I tried to explain why. He understood everything. #TotK #Zelda #LoZ #TLoz #Zelink
