Even through the large window, moonlight struggled to illuminate Princess Zelda's bedroom.
Her face was completely obstructed by the hood she wore, and as she pulled her cloak tighter around her body her figure seemed to diminish. Her heart thudded heavily in her chest, so loud and oppressive against the deadly silence, Zelda wondered if Gannon was using it as a beacon, leading his evil presence straight towards her...
From beneath her cloak Zelda produced a small pouch, yet what was interesting about the seemingly unremarkable object was the way a pure, beautiful, almost holy light emanated from inside. Zelda slowly, almost fearfully, reached her free hand upwards and gently tugged back her hood. The face of a young girl was revealed, with long, blond hair, and beautiful blue eyes that normally sparkled with a spectacular light - yet now were filled only with sorrow.
"Please, Goddesses... forgive me," she whispered, in a small voice that barely reached the cold, stone walls of her chambers. With a swift movement, Zelda closed her eyes, and raised the small pouch in the air. The light seemed to intensify, and she allowed the fabric to fall towards the ground; revealing the most brilliant, breathtaking artifact - a small golden triangle, that seemed to shine with all the wisdom of the ancients.
"Go forth!" Zelda cried, and with her exclamation, the Triforce of Wisdom splintered, and with the blink of an eye, broke into five pieces, flying away in various directions, through the walls, ceiling, and window.
"The hope of Hyrule... still survives." Zelda paused, as the door behind her swung open, and a booming voice echoed straight into her soul.
"Princess Zelda... Here you are."
