Author Note: Hello so I have started writing these to practice my writing skills, so apologies now for any mistakes. These are going to be simple short journal entries by the Monarchs of Hyrule. I am starting with granddaughter of Princess Zelda from Breath of the Wild. It will start with references to Breath of the Wild, but not too many. Some minor spoilers, but the references will fade as time goes on. These are mainly personal entries meant for future monarchs. They are just short drabbles. My personal goal is too write about 100 years of history.

Critique is welcome and encourage. Spelling and Grammar errors being pointed out will be very helpful. I have proofread this, but I am not an expert at English. Also questions are also welcomed, for I probably will not be very in-depth with brief statements on years. But any additional information you wish to know just ask and I will most likely answer.

Potential Triggers: Death will be mention, and impactful. Very impactful. I as many have dealt with loss. In many forms. Not all firsthand. But I have seen it in many stages. Miscarriages will be included. If something makes you uncomfortable or you have a question about what someone feels about something or really anything just ask.

Dear Hyrule,

My name is Zelda. Not the Zelda of course. That would be my grandmother. But she has passed away all too soon. I am now 25 years old and feel so alone in the world but at the same time I know I am not. My grandmother has rule Hyrule in it's reconstruction alongside my Grandfather the Hero Link for many years but the affects of their 100 years in isolation left them unable to live into a great old age. And so the task now falls to me to lead Hyrule. The land I have seen much of, but still holds many mysteries. I do not take this task alone. I have my wonderful husband Victor, the leaders of the of dominions across the Kingdom, and my council to assist me. But per grandmother wish as much of our history has been lost I will rule as Queen and restart our dynasty, as she led us simply as the Princess of Hyrule. And also per my grandmother's request I will keep a yearly log of the events my reign so the future Queens and Kings of Hyrule may better understand the circumstances of ruling Hyrule no matter the training they have receive for we give our lives in service to our people.

In all fairness, I unlike my late mother I have never found diary keeping important. My grandmother wanted to keep diaries but never had the time. Reconstructing a Kingdom from the brink of destruction is hard work and the task now falls to me. It has only been a month since we buried her, reunited with my grandfather and my parents, may they rest in peace. In two months time I will be coronated in the the newly rebuilt Temple of Time. Atop the Great Plateau. Elder Paya of the Sheikah will crown me on behalf of Hyrule. I do hope Aunt Papaya will be fine making the journey. Uncle Grante will help her of course but still she looked so very frail at my grandmother's funeral. Like a gust of wind could knock her over. It will also be good to see Uncle Sidon, Aunt Riju, Uncle Yunobo, Tulin, and Hestu. May Din give me the strength, Nayru the wisdom, and Farore the courage I need to face the task ahead.

Year Zelda I - 2 (26 NC)

Dear Future Monarch of Hyrule,

A year has past and I barely have been able to make any progress in anything. Construction is slow but it is steady. Castle Town has surpassed 15 thousand in population. Which is good for when the first Census was done the Kingdom barely had 40000 in it. And less than an thousand were living in the shacks to rebuild the Town. And we have nearly 70000 in the Kingdom. We have been doing good. I have also toured Eldin, Akkala, and Lanayru Provinces. King Dorephan's health is beginning to fail, he is 271 years old. Which for a Zora average is 250, I would equate him to being in his 80s in a Hylian lifespan. Uncle Sidon and little Mipha are worried, and I understand that pain. I hope he does not pass soon, but when he does I do also hope that the King may pass peacefully. Uncle Yunobo is also getting older, and has requested the Elder Council begin thinking of the Next Chief. I plan on traveling to see Kakariko and Hateno next year and visit Aunt Papaya and Uncle Grante. I also need to take a trip to see Aunt Riju in Gerudo soon as well. So many trips but each one takes me away from the Capital for a month or more at a time. Everyone besides Uncle Yunobo seemed fine at my coronation. Even Aunt Papaya which I was worried about. I feel she just seem more frail at my grandmother's funeral for her grief. She was one of my grandparents oldest friends and grew up hearing about them, from her legendary grandmother. I do hope whoever reads these one maintain good relationships with the heads of the of Hyrule.

Year Zelda I - 3 (27 NC)

This year has been a horrible one. I hope whoever reads this one day does not suffer the fate I went through this year. And hopefully if someone reads this it means I never suffer through this year again. This year began with the Death of King Dorephan of the Zoras, he was a few days over 272. Attending the funeral reminded me of my grandmother's funeral. The Wise Zora Priest instead of Elder Paya, and Uncle Sidon in my place. He could not control his tears. Similar to how I felt. I felt I nearly broke Victor's hand. I kept squeezing it. He is my rock. Whoever you are I hope you have someone as good as my Victor to support you. Being Queen is lonely sometimes. I try to get out into Castle Town once a week to meet people and just talk, hear their stories, their concerns. But still I feel so distant. But with Victor, I know he is right there, Always a half-step behind so if I stumble he will catch me before I fall.

Between King Dorephan funeral and Uncle Sidon's coronation as King I learned I was with child. I could not have been happier. Victor and me had been trying for 4 years since our marriage. Since it was still early I decided to still go to Sidon's coronation. We had not announced it to the public just yet. For that I am glad. For sadly I miscarried about a week after the coronation. I spent most of year in the castle focusing on paperwork, just wanting to avoid thinking of it. My grandparents spent their lives fighting for the Kingdom to return to glory, and I do not want to end their line. Victor has been their for me the entire time. But I know he is just as devastated. He will be a good father. I just hope we have a chance. Aunt Papaya says I still can bear children, but a future pregnancy will have to be kept under close eye for future complications. I am glad Victor told her to come. For Aunt Papaya is the closest thing I have to a parent left, and she just can hug me and I feel a little girl again. Safe. Treasure the ones around you. For everyone needs support.

Year Zelda I - 4 (28 NC)

Dear Future Monarch of Hyrule,

I began this year by traveling to the Desert and seeing Queen Riju of the Gerudo. Her Daughter Joli is doing well, and her granddaughter Rubi is adorable she is 6, and I have not seen her since I attended her blessing with my grandmother. Victor had to stay in Kara Kara as I went to the Gerudo Town proper. He met with merchants on the trade network and various new route ideas. In the Summer I traveled through Tabantha and into Hebra, visiting Elder Tulin of Rito Village. His mother Saki is now has gotten to the point she can no longer fly. I may have to travel again next year for another funeral. So much death. But it is the circle of live. In the Autumn I thought I was done with traveling for the year but Yunobo of the Gorons passed and I went to up the mountain in Eldin. And paided my respects. Uncle Yunobo is the second of the four new champions we have lost. I felt sick the entire time. And now I know I it was not just for Uncle Yunobo's passing. I am again with child. One that will be born next year if all goes well. Aunt Papaya and Uncle Grante are both going to spend the Winter and Spring in Castle Town to look after me. Victor is escastic. He is so hopeful. And I am just a ball of worry. I need to relax more but I still have work. Hyrule is still building itself back up. May the goddesses look after me.

Dear Daniel,

My son, I do hope you are the one who will read this one day. For I could not be happier that you safe and healthy. Your father has not stopped smiling in the last few months since your birth. My Council is also happy for Hyrule has an heir if any unspeakable event should befall me. But I hope that you do not rule Hyrule for many years for I wish to see you grow up. My beautiful baby boy. As your blessers I named your Uncle Kir for Nayru, for I could not think of anyone wiser to guide you, maybe besides Aunt Papaya or Uncle Grante, Uncle Sidon for Farore, for I could not think of anyone more adventurous to lead you, and Aunt Riju for I could not think of anyone stronger to fight for you. Uncle Sidon was also my blesser for Farore, but for Nayru I had Uncle Kir's mother Aunt Papaya, and Uncle Teba for Din. We have lost both Uncle Teba, and Aunt Papaya and Uncle Grante both said they are too old when I asked about it. If for some reason I am gone before I have a chance to teach you about your role in Kingdom these three and your father will be your greatest supports. With all the events happening around you I have fallen a bit behind on my duties how my grandmother ever ruled and raised my mother and then me I will never understand. How did she ever sleep. Probably from pure exhaustion. I do suggest sleeping whenever you get the chance for being monarch or a parent is exhausting but both are so rewarding.

Your Mother,

Zelda, Queen of Hyrule

Dear Daniel,

My son, you have reached your first year and I took you meet the Great Deku Tree. You will not remember him the next time you see him, but my grandmother went and saw him every ten years I was told. I went with her 10 years ago. So you will be 11 when you meet him again. However he was very happy to see you. He says you will be a fine King one day. And I trust The Great Deku Tree. He is one of the oldest spirits around. Dating back to the Hero of Time. One of the few surviving legends from before the calamity. When thinking about any hero, I just think of my grandfather, and I also hope we have no need for a Hero of Legend to appear anytime soon. For if we need a hero, that means something terrible as befallen us. So if a hero does rise welcome them, for they do not bring a terrible fate, they save us from it. And if the next hero is half as brave and strong and wise as your great-grandfather, Hyrule will be fine. I also went back to Hebra in fall, We have settle on the terms and conditions of new mining rights for the Gorons to mine in the Hebra mountains to help us continue rebuilding Castle Town. The various towns and some of the stables across Hyrule are beginning to grow into more proper settlements as well which is nice to see. I hope that Hyrule continues to blossom.

Your Mother,

Zelda, Queen of Hyrule
