It seemed like the entire kingdom had turned out in Castle Town for her funeral. Even the skies cried for her, leaving the whole country with a terrible gloom. Her casket laid in the throne room, in the place she had spent many days in. With Aria next to him, Shad stood in front of the fallen queen, ready to address his new subjects for the first time.
"We have gathered here to remember the life of Hyrule's greatest ruler, our princess, our queen, our Zelda," he said, clearing his throat. "I had known her majesty since she was fifteen, probably longer than anyone who is alive now. She was upset that day; her father had just died. A young, beautiful princess who had knowledge way beyond her years. A majestic, elegant, wise ruler-in-the-making, and she never did something that was better for her than her people. She would have been so happy to see how many of you had come here to send her off into the next world."
The crowd was in an uproar, shouts of "Hyrule loves you!" and "Goddesses save the queen!" were heard over them.
"On this day of tragedy, I have to say I have a terrible task ahead of me. Zelda has asked that I take over for her. It was such an honor to be named next in line, and I can only think of one problem." A hush fell over the crowd, and Shad's voice broke as he said his final line of his speech:
"I—no one could ever replace her."
