Dear Malon,

My journeys are going well. There's another dark menus, a skull kid with a mask that possesses dark powers. There are sisters here that remind me of you. They also live on a ranch. They have the same sincere blue eyes and long red hair like you. I haven't succeeded in defeating the skull kid yet, I'm just figuring out what I have to do. He was trying to rob me and he spooked Epona and she ran off. But I promise you I will find her and I'll keep my promise to you to take the best care of her I possibly can. I saw her once in the ranch where the girl and her sister live. They make me think of you. I miss you so much, Malon.

I wish I was good at writing letters. You of all people know I'm not very good at expressing my self. I don't know if I'll be coming back to Hyrule. I don't know if I'll ever see you again. Maybe my journeys will take me back there one day. I hope so…

Malon, if I never write to you again, if I never come back to visit you I want you to know…that I will always love you. You are the greatest friend any boy can have. And I also want to say thank you. Every time I'd visit you, you would take care of me you would comfort me and 'cheer me on' as it were. That's when I finally realized I loved you. I don't know why I didn't say so before I left but I was scared. I find it easier to convey in a letter, I guess because you're not in front of me, I didn't want you to laugh at me or desert me. Because the way you talked about every other boy you knew, every other 'knight in shining armor' that came to Lon Lon Ranch that stole your heart made me feel I could never be like that. I convinced my self you could never love me because I'm just a poor Hylien, you wanted someone better then me. I wanted to be a boy you knew and never stopped talking about; I wanted to be your 'knight in shining armor'. I was jealous of them; the men you talked about. If you don't feel the same way about me then I won't bother you concerning it again. I just thought I would tell you.

I'm sorry if I've made you feel uncomfortable…but I had to get this off my chest.

Now I must go I only have a certain amount of time to defeat the skull kid and there's a lot I have yet to do.
With all the that love I possess,
The boy you never talked about,
The knight that never stole your heart,
Link
