ToLazyToLogin, I do realize that Paya's name is Paya, it is just that for Zelda when she refers to in private, such as speaking to family in these letters, calls her Aunt Papaya for she has called her that since she was a little girl and her grandmother and Paya both found it adorable and never really corrected her... much. When speaking in an official manner she does say Elder Paya or Sheikah Elder Paya. Thank you for taking an interest in Victor, he is one year younger than Zelda so he turns 50 in this first year of this batch. I will be including more entries from Victor and there will be entries from other perspectives as I continue.
Guest, our Zelda starts writing these roughly 50 years after the end of the game. It is a little in flux for the exact year but based on the characters you see you can see the continuity in a way.
Rose, just a small one, I love Fire Emblem a lot especially Genealogy, Sacred Stones, and Gaiden/Echoes. I may use more name inspiration from those games as we continue but do know they are not those characters. I am just using the names.

My Son,
We began this year with a visit to Uncle Sidon alongside Aunt Riju's daughter Princess Joli. Based on your father's suggestion I let you chair the meeting to renegotiate the water trade to the desert. Having both the Zora and Gerudo cooperate to direct some water from that flows from the Great Plateau towards the Desert Stable instead of it all being directed into Regencia River. This will increase survivability in the Desert and allow continued growth. I am proud on how well you faired between the two. Joli is drives a much harder bargain than her mother would have and I understand why she went instead of Aunt Riju. It was also good to listen to stories from Uncle Sidon.
In the Summer I had you spend some time visiting Kakariko Village to spend time with Aunt Papaya and Uncle Grante and also little Kliff. Your Uncle Kir and his wife Faye spent time with myself and your father as we traveled the finished portion of the new road being built, seeing the progress. The Road from Hateno to Kakariko will be finished next year. Beautiful stonework which will be easier on the carriage that carry supplies between the villages. The Road north into Eldin is also nearly done and will be continued all the way to Tarrey Town in Akkala. But the most interesting thing is a letter from Aunt Papaya telling me you were smitten by a local girl. You did not mention any of this to me or your father, and I understand I did not tell my grandmother I was seeing your father for a good half a year. She knew of course, but I did not know until later she did, as you will not know I know until later as well. I have also noticed that there has been an increase in letters over the weeks since you return from Kakariko. I guess we will have to find a reason to send you back, hopefully some time soon. Uncle Grante's birthday will be early next year, but I hope to give you a reason to return to Kakariko that is less family oriented so you have more leisure time. I hope everything will fair well.
Love Your Mother,
Zelda, Queen of Hyrule

My Son,
When the cherry blossoms were just starting to bloom in the spring we traveled to Kakariko Village for the 100th Birthday of Uncle Grante. Similar to Aunt Papaya he was very full of life still. When I was talking to Aunt Papaya about where their energy comes from, she simply laughed and smiled, and told me one day she hopes I will know the joy of being a grandmother. And I while hope I never put too much pressure on you or your future spouse, I do hope I get to know the joy of being a grandmother, for motherhood has been an honour and pleasure, most of the time. I jest even now. I am so happy and lucky to have you as my son. Never forget that. Please never forget that.
While we were in the village, Aunt Papaya also introduced me to Hylian Merchant who has settled in the village since the expansion, William. And his daughter, Georgina. She seems just lovely. After meeting them Aunt Papaya was going to tell me she is the girl you are smitten with, but little Kliff ran up and told me that was "rady you rike". I do hope he masters his "L" sounds soon. But his little lisp is adorable for his age. She seems lovely, I do hope you introduced us one day. I only spoke to her and her father briefly but I feel she is polite and well-read. I hope you one day you find happiness the way I found it with your father.
Later in the year, We traveled to Gerudo Desert for a Memorial Service for Aunt Riju. Joli handled it well. Aunt Riju was but a girl of 12 when she help your great-grandfather calm Vah Naboris and stop Calamity Ganon. She lived longer than most Gerudo, reaching the age of 89. I am sad to lose another of my grandparents trusted friends. Uncle Sidon looked even sadder. He is going to spend some time with Aunt Papaya and Uncle Grante on his way back to Zora Domain which is good. He says that is curse of Zora, for they have lifespans that are nearly 3 times ours in length they lose many good friends. For this I am honestly glad I am not a Zora, I do not like loss. It is never kind. It is necessary, and a part of the circle of life, but it is never kind. I hope mine does not come for many years so you do not have to lose me yet.
Love Your Mother,

My Son,
This has been an eventful year, early in the year you finally introduced us to Georgina and informed us you have been seeing her. I feel your father over did his surprise look at the time. However I am surprised you did not know I spoke to her and her father last year while we were in Kakariko for Uncle Grante's 100th birthday. I am sorry I did not get to spend time with her more while she was in Castle Town, but there is always something for the Kingdom I just have to see to. Your father who did have a chance to speak with her more in depth informs me she is well informed on various issues across the kingdom, mainly on our infrastructure and agricultural production. Your father also informs me that she did not seem too nervous during the conservations so she should not have much difficulty potentially adjusting to a diplomatic lifetstyle as your future consort. I know I am probably jumping a little ahead of myself there. I just feel if you been with her for over 2 years, chances our this may be your one. In addition you smiled brighter every second she was in the room with you.
The Gorons have finally began full mining production in the eastern Hebra Mountains. This is wonderful for the stonework will not only help in continuing to rebuild Castle Town but we are in process of continuing our road reconstruction from Tarrey Town, through Foothill Stable, Rauru Town and Woodland Stable, and straight through to Rito Village. I hope to one day have great network of roads covering the Kingdom so transportation moves swiftly throughout the Kingdom. I got to tour the Mining Facility in Hebra, and it seems just like the Southern Mines of Death Mountain except, cold. Really instead of sweltering heat, it is snowy even in the Summer.
In the Fall, you invited Georgina back to Castle Town, which I was happy for for it meant I got to meet with her again, but I was quite shocked, and greatly pleased when you informed your father and me that you were going to propose marriage to her. I think she will be a lovely addition to the family. I even happier when I heard she accepted your proposal, and the Kingdom was happy too as we announced it. I do hope she is fine being a center of attention for the amount of interest this has generated is amazing. I remember when my engagement to your father was announcement, every journal writer in the Kingdom wanted to know more about him. They had known of me since I was born, but Victor was a mystery for the most part. I can not blame them, I wish to more about my future daughter-in-law, as well. But I am certain I will learn much about her in the coming months and then years. All in all this has been a good year.
Love Your Mother,

My Son,
I am so happy for you. I know when you read this it will hopefully be in many years but today I watched you look so happy, you were positively giddy with excitement. Congratulations on your Wedding. I hope you and Georgina are every bit as happy as your father and I have been. For you truly deserve nothing but bliss. I was very happy to see you include Kliff as your Supporter even given your age also from your wedding speech to learn that he introduced the two you all those years ago when I had sent you to spend some time getting to him better in Kakariko Village. I think back on my wedding and I feel that my grandmother would be smiling down on you with nothing but pure glee. Again Congratulations, to both of you. I hope that when you read this you will still be looking back fondly at this day.
Love Your Mother,
Zelda, Queen of Hyrule
Congratulation my Boy,
Same as your mother I am so happy for you. The entire process from your engagement to today had been wonderful. I cried tears of joy as I saw you up there. Your mother trying to hold them in and I just could not. Thirty years ago nearly to the day, I stood were you standing and I took your mother to protect with all my courage, to love her with all my strength, and guide her with all my wisdom as she vowed for me. And thirty years later I still feel it was best decision I ever made. And I could just look at you today and know you feel the same about Georgina.
When you eventually receive these entries upon your mother's passing I hope you let Georgina read this passage. Dear Georgina, I spoke to you at length during the engagement and I will continue to advise you as long as I able but here is a some words of wisdom for when the time comes that my Son is King and you fill my shoes as Consort. Being Consort is never easy. You are the never the star of show, but the most important support. Always a half step behind ready to be there, the moment you need to be. It is a lot of meeting people, being polite and diplomatic, being a sounding board, being a confidant, and most of all being a best friend. It will never be easy but never get discouraged. Focus when you can on your family and friends, and I do hope you will have children for they will be a great joy and endless comfort. Hyrule is still rebuilding itself from the 100 years of calamity and will be for many more so the road ahead will not be easy, but if you trust one another and love another fully and wholeheartedly you will conquer any obstacle that appears in your way. I wish you best of luck when you receive this message and many happy years. May Goddesses watch over both of you until the end time itself.
Daniel and Georgina, may you live happily forever,
Your Father/Father-in-law,
Victor, Prince Consort of Hyrule

My Son,
If I do not say it enough, I am proud of how well Georgina has adapted to life as your wife and her new role as Crown Princess of Hyrule. I had wished to ease into her duties and we had planned for her first official visit outside of Castle Town to be Kakariko, a familiar place that would hopefully put her at ease. But sadly the goddesses have their own agenda it will seem. Goron Elder Dag-bu passing was unforeseen he had only been elder for less than a decade but the entire time he seemed jolly. Elder Offrak seems to be a bit more serious, and I look forward to working with him in the future. Georgina handle herself just fine given her first trip and the her first interactions with the other leaders since the wedding last year.
We sadly will not be taking that trip to Kakariko until the following year for instead, I had to go and meet with Queen Joli of the Gerudos for her newborn granddaughter's blessing. Rubi and her daughter Sa-bori both are doing well. I am sure Aunt Riju was smiling down on the little one. As the event took place in Gerudo Town, I would have in the past gone alone but instead Georgina accompanied me. She was perfectly behaved when meeting Queen Joli and Princess Rubi. I feel she is adjusting nicely overall and look forward to seeing her continue her work. I also enjoyed spending some one on one time with her. She is delightful and a wonderful conservation partner. She also a knack for cards that your father never seemed to grasped. I can see myself enjoying a good game of Rummy with her many times in the future. She was also very interested in seeing the new canal progress from the start of Regencia River flowing through Gerudo Valley. And overall I feel we are both very glad with the progress. It will mean the Gerudo Stable will have a more stable water supply in the future. All in all it was a good trip.
Love Your Mother,
Zelda, Queen of Hyrule

My Son,
The year was greatly uneventful. I know I have said this to you before, both in person and here in these entries, but I treasure the uneventful years, they mean I get to spend more time with you and your father. We did finally take that trip to Kakariko and honestly the thing is, I am proud of you. You demonstrate your strength and respect in great measure. I mean no disrespect to Georgina, but her father is a good man as a person, but as a businessman, he has one track mind and I do not feel like I should give him favors just because his daughter married my son. I thank you for also standing up to him and respectfully explaining why the crown can not favour his merchant business over all the other solely for that fact he is Georgina's father. I am positive William is good person, but as business man, he is not one I would very like to do business with at this point. I feel sorry though, Georgina apologized several times on her father's behalf even though I told her each time it is not her fault. I would more appreciate her father to be more courteous about the situation but what can you do. Either way I am very proud of both of you for how diplomatically you handle the situation at the time.
Love Your Mother,
Zelda, Queen of Hyrule
Year Zelda I - 33 (57 NC)
My Son,
The early portion of this year was not the most exciting, While I traveled with your father south to Ordon Village and Lurelin Village you travel northeast to see the Hebra Mines and and progress being made on the road from Rito Village toward Rauru Town. I am glad with how productive both our trips were. The Kingdom is always improving. Lurelin Village looks more vibrant then ever. I remember years ago visiting in the after a great storm and now it feels like that so long ago, like faint and distant memory. I do also enjoy visiting Lurelin for the fresh seafood is always delicious. One day I hope our transportation network will be so good, seafood can be delivered anywhere in Hyrule and maintain a good degree of freshness. That may not be something in my lifetime but hopefully yours. For as long as our family is around we will always strive to improve the Kingdom.
Which brings me to the true highlight of the year. Georgina's pregnancy is wonderful news. I am so happy for both of you and hope everything goes well. I know we all have some worries. But I do pray to the goddesses to protect her and the child both. Learning from her father William, that Georgina mother passed in Georgina birth did exactly the opposite of helping my worries. My own mother dying while pregnant with what I thought would be a younger sibling and my two losses as well. I think we are due for a good and healthy birth. And positive thinking will help as I have been saying a lot recently. I will continue to pray throughout the winter and next year hope everything goes well. No matter what happens know I love you and wish you all the best.
Love Your Mother,
Zelda, Queen of Hyrule

My Dearest Son and Darling Granddaughter,
I am so grateful. I am just filled to brimmed with happiness. This year has been wonderful. The Goddesses truly shone down on Georgina, for the entire pregnancy went by without a single complication. No cause for worry or concern ever needed to be raised. I am so grateful. She is precious. I also like the idea of two names, Zelda Regina. As we know the tradition of girls born being named Zelda, is one that we all believe must continue but having a second name so we can cause less confusion at times when there are many girls named Zelda is wonderful. I am so happy to have held in her in my arms.
I am also thrilled with the fact your included your father as one of her blessers. I also see him as constant source of strength so I know he will be there to help her stand proud, he will guard her as well Din herself would. King Sidon being her blesser for Farore was also good as he was also yours and mine and even my mother's, and I am certain he is incredibly proud to uphold the position once again. I was a bit surprise you choose Kliff as young as he may be, but I am sure he will be a constant source of Wisdom to her. Seeing Aunt Papaya still don her official Shiekah garb and performs her duties as Elder Paya will never cease to amazing me on how gracefully she dances through the rituals. All in all, I am so excited to get to know your darling daughter, and I hope to be as good as a grandmother as I once had. I already am certain you and Georgina both will fine parents after seeing you dote on her for just these few months. And for the day that my precious granddaughter gets to reads this, a day I hope is not until she is a grandmother herself, know for certain you were loved and cared for since the moment of your birth.
Love Your Mother and Grandmother,
Zelda, Queen of Hyrule
My Son and Little Princess,
I do not know exactly what to write, for there are no words that I can think of that truly could ever tell you how I feel. I asked your mother if I could write something as well this year but, really I am just so happy. So very happy. While it is now something profound, it really is just a basic word and concept that a child uses. But it is the feeling the fills me completely. I love you both. I am so happy to have been made her blesser for Din. I am just happy. Similar to what your mother said. Both of you, in the many years from now when you finally read this remember always that your mother and grandmother love you both dearly. Even when we are gone, we will still watch over you and send nothing but the happiest thoughts from wherever we are.
Love your Father and Grandfather,
Victor, Prince Consort of Hyrule
Year Zelda I - 35 (59 NC)
My Son and Darling Granddaughter,
As I have probably mentioned before and will mentioned again, being Queen is something that takes time always. I wish it was not such a full time job for I wish to spend more time with both of you. Victor is taking every chance he gets and I am a tad bit jealous, and even William has been around more often to she her. My little princess, if something happens and before I have a chance, know for certain I am so looking forward to watching you grow up and having a friendship with you.
I mentioned several years ago, but as I just endured another summit mainly on the drawing up plans for the rest of the Kingdom future roads and bridges and overall infrastructure I realize how tedious summits are. Your Uncle Kir and Uncle Sidon were more than helpful for they usually have my back and also the Zora already maintain their pathways so elegantly. I have no plans to make the roadways that beautiful but do hope to make durable and maintainable. Elder Offrak wants better compensation for the work his people are doing since the rates and agreement that Elder Dagbu and I negotiated over were only for the two projects that had already been started. I do understand where Elder Offrak is coming from, and the laborers from Tarrey Town and Hateno Village also have their wages which may have to increase as well to maintain a balance. The economy is growing however so we can continue onward. Luckily Samson, the son of Master Carpenter Karson of the Bolson Construction Company wishes to maintain his rates at the same as they have been since my grandparents requested they work to rebuild Hyrule. Samson said as long as his father is still alive he wants to honour the deals that the Princess and Hero made with Bolson all those years ago. It seems we were all able to reach an agreement for the continuation of the road projects at least most of them. We need to actually some of the larger bridges before we start on them. They wish to replace Tabantha Bridge with a new stone one, and Hylia Bridge will take some time to assess. I do hope Hylia Bridge will be repairable. It has been standing for so long, and I feel it is one of the great engineering marvels of the Kingdom. We will more in a few years. Either way, may I wish you both luck in maintaining the peace in these situations whenever you find yourselves in them.
Love Your Mother and Grandmother,

My Son and Darling Granddaughter,
This year was busier than most. Similar to me you took a visit away from the Castle while Georgina stayed with you child. I use to have to do that a lot when you were little and it was always hard. But I knew as long as your father was with you, everything would be fine. Thank you for going to Zora Domain while I went South to Gerudo Town. The project for water redirection is going well they are starting to grow crops by the stable in Gerudo Valley and that is amazing in my opinion. Queen Joli and I both sampled the first carrots grown in Gerudo Province and they were delicious. Princess Rubi and little Sa-bori then joined us on a trip to the Southern Oasis and it is beginning to thrive similar to Kara Kara on a smaller scale. I am glad Hyrule is growing. It makes me so happy to see.
In the late summer we took a trip together and while I admired Georgina and your own hesitancy of traveling with your daughter to see the Great Deku Tree, I am glad my argument that your father and I took you when you were only 1 so Zelda Regina traveling at the age of 2 should be and was fine. The Great Deku Tree was jolly to meet her and also Georgina. I still enjoyed the look of shock and wonder as Georgina realized it was a talking tree. Being told is one thing seeing is another. The little Koroks were in awe of the little one similar to how they were in awe of you when you but a baby. I enjoyed listening to the stories as you did. I remember telling you we would try to come back sooner than 10 years but it slipped my mind there is always so much to do and traveling is not something I wish to do in my free time for the amount I spend seeing Hyrule as it's Queen. I feel you have started to feel the same already my Son. And surely my little princess you will most likely feel the same once your older and have done more of it. I love you both. While visiting the Great Deku Tree and going over the event of the last decade it was incredible to think that 10 years ago, Georgina was someone we had not met yet and now she is your wife and together you have given your father and me, our darling granddaughter. I thank the goddesses for shining down on us.
Love Your Mother and Grandmother,
Zelda, Queen of Hyrule
Author's Note: Thank you again so much for reading. I do hope you enjoy these. These years were a lot of fun to write. I really hope you enjoy the additions to the family as much as I did writing them.
