Long have I waited for peace in our lives. A life with no fear or pain. A life that we could enjoy together without having to worry about someone trying to take over the world. My name is Princess Zelda. Crowned Queen of Hyrule and the holder of the Triforce of Wisdom. This is a story about how my life almost changed forever. It all started a couple years ago when Hyrule was in a battle with a country called Nachar. It was so sudden. I remember one morning a guard ran into my room and told me that we were being attacked. I ran to my balcony and saw the fighting. It was so close to Hyrule market. I could see clearly. I told my guards to evacuate the market. But the one thing I kept my eyes on was my husband, Link, the Hero of Time and holder of the Triforce of Courage. I was so horrified when I saw him in the most dangerous spot. The front line. I watched him as he fought the Nachar army. I was so scared. I loved him more than anything. The thought of him dying made me sick to my stomach. My father and my caretaker, Impa, the Shiekah, tried to keep me calm. They tried to get me to eat and rest. "I will not take my eyes off Link!" I would say to them.

I watched for several hours. The fight was so horrible. People dying, the sounds of swords clashing, the sounds of horses neighing. It began getting dark. The fighting still hadn't died down. The Nachar army was attacking as if Hyrule was a piece of meat and they were the dogs. I tried to keep myself awake. My eyes began getting heavy. I rested my head on my arm.

My eyes shot open. I found myself waking up. I had accidentally fallen asleep. I rubbed my sleepy eyes and gasped when I saw that the Nachar army was gone! The Hylian army was taking the dead bodies off the field and picking up the weapons that laid on the ground. The one thing I didn't see was Link. Where was he? I quickly ran to my father's throne room to find out where Link was. I stopped when I heard the name Link come from my father's mouth.

"Nachar retreated once they captured Link. We tried our best to save him, but they were too strong for us. I have sent the best in the army to find him." A guard explained.

"What's this I hear about Link being captured?!" I demanded as I walked into the throne room.

"Your majesty, I'm sorry to inform you, but the Nachar army has captured Link. We tried our best, your majesty, I'm so sorry. We're doing our best to find him." The guard explained to me. "I'm going out to find him too." I said. "No, Zelda. Stay here where it's safe." My father commanded. "I won't stay here and hope that the army finds my husband!" I shot back. "Zelda, I know you love him. That's why you two married, but it's too dangerous. Stay here." He said. Tears started to build up in my eyes. I knew he was trying to protect me. I ran out of the room and into my room. I threw myself on my bed and began crying. I rested my hand on Link's pillow. I wished it was a nightmare and at any moment I would wake up and see Link lying next to me. "Link." I whispered over and over again to myself.

"I don't feel like talking." I said when I heard someone knock on my door. I raised my head when I heard my door open. It was my friend, Tilkate, the Guerdo who acted like a Hylian lady. "Zelda, I heard about what happened to Link. Your father gave me orders to make sure you don't leave this castle, but like you I don't want to stay hear. I want to help find Link." She said. My eyes lit up. She wanted to help?! This was great. Me and my best friend could look for Link. "Let's go! Let's get some supplies and find Link!" I said. She nodded and we quietly left the castle. It was very difficult. There was so many guards around the castle. We almost got caught a couple times, but we did manage to grab a couple weapons. Daggers, bow and arrows, and shields. We went to the stables to get our horses. I didn't take my horse. I took Link's horse, Epona. His beautiful red horse with a snow white mane. I rode on her with Link enough times that she trusted me. I mounted myself on her. Once Tilkate was ready, we quickly rode off.

"Do you know where Nachar is?" Tilkate asked. I nodded. It was just over Death Mountain. She had never seen Nachar before nor has any other Hylian. We didn't even know what a Nachar looked like. They were always masked people. They could have been male, female or both. We didn't know what lied ahead of us, but I didn't care. All I wanted was to find Link.
