A/N: I was debating making this another title, but maybe it should be posted as a oneshot chapter. Either way, here is Ganondorf's journal during the course of Identities! The answers to several guest questions are inside, as well as a semi-thorough timeline of the story. (With this, I think the supplemental material surpasses the actual story length!)

Most entries are written by Ganondorf, and in other cases you can easily tell who did it. ;)

Hyrule Era Year 847, June 13th, 11am

I am finally free of imprisonment in that twilight realm. Zant did not follow my instructions completely, and instead has covered the land in twilight as an act of retribution for the years of oppression he has faced. He knows nothing of true oppression.

Regardless of my anger at him, I headed straight for the castle. Because I materialized in Hyrule Field, I used the old spillway to enter Castle Town. I was caught off guard when I found a dying Twili and a wolf about to drown near the castle entrance. Curiosity made me pluck them from the water.

The Twili could only be Zant's counterpart Midna, but the wolf was unknown to me. I was about to throw it back in the water when it opened its eyes. Cerulean. Such a beautiful blue color, I have never seen the like on any beast or man. It occurred to me that this creature may be here by destiny, so I plucked the arrows from its side and healed its injuries. When I lifted its injured paw, a sensation came over me that I knew all too well. The creature was a vessel for the Triforce.

I decided to let the creature go on about its business. If it truly held a piece of the Triforce, we will meet again.

3pm

I was right, that creature was divine. Zant had imprisoned the Princess in the castle, and when I went to confront her, I discovered she had lent her spirit (and the Triforce of Wisdom) to the dying Twili. No matter, Midna is bound to return to the castle. By then, perhaps I'll meet the wolf in his natural state.

Hyrule Era Year 847, October 3rd, noon

The hero is female. This fascinates me. To think that the stuck up Hylians would allow a little girl to save them whose name was not Zelda...

She will be here soon, and the final battle for Hyrule will begin. I will have the Triforce, and I will avenge my fallen sisters. Hyrule will not be destroyed, no, but rather rebuilt. I will show them the kindness they never showed us, but if they insist on their doom, they will get it.

Year 0 in the Dragmire Era, October 17th

I have done it, Hyrule is mine. After I fought with the hero in my feral state, the twilight princess warped Zelda and the hero away. I subdued and imprisoned the imp (her Fused Shadow may be powerful, but not as strong as the Triforce of Power), then tracked them down to Hyrule field. The hero fought with me on horseback, until I switched the battle to swordplay.

Zelda is weak and used the opportunity to escape. She can be tracked down easily, I am not concerned with her. At the moment, I am more worried about the hero.

I was right, the wolf did carry the Triforce of Courage. Her name is Link, and aside from the hair and tunic colors, she does not resemble the heroes of old. Her beauty honestly puts Princess Zelda to shame- a plump little face, pale skin, body like an inverted triangle, and perfectly sized breasts. What takes me aback the most is her hair, shimmering gold like the desert. When I pulled her hat off to treat her injuries, it came tumbling out like a waterfall. It was so adorable, it made me laugh.

I want this girl to learn that she can be a formidable warrior without concealing her identity. Damn my foolishness for breaking her dominant hand, but with rest and recovery, I can get her fighting again.

October 27th

I heard her speak. Usually all she would emit were growls and screams, but when she sounds out words, hers is one of the most feminine voices I've ever heard. I want to hear more, and I will help her relearn her speech.

She wanted her friend, the imp. I allowed them to meet, and even broke the curse on the imp, but made it clear she had to return to the twilight. I have no desire to rule over them, they are free to live as they see fit. I only want that mirror broken, so that it can no longer be used to banish others. I would have let it go had I been the only one banished, but it has a bloody history of being the Hyrule Kings' execution tool.

November 30th, evening

She got mad that I called her a boy. It made her break down sobbing and mumbling, of course after she smacked a bowl of food all over my clothing. I apologized and told her why I did it, then elaborated on the Gerudo. I don't think she had ever heard about them, because she calmed down and let me feed her. I will have to introduce her to my kin.

Link protested when I took her to bathe, and hid her breasts behind her hands when I disrobed her. After reminding her that I had already seen too many breasts to count, she started squeezing hers together like some floozy. I chided her and guided her hands away, though I couldn't help caressing her chest.

I sat her in the bath before I lost my composure, and cleaned her off. Her hair was so silky and smooth...

December 5th, morning

I'm in love with Link. I don't know how I let myself get this far. I removed her splint the day of her bath, and the next morning we began her oral rehabilitation. Her voice has a heavenly quality to it, mezzo-soprano with a slight lisp. The lisp will fade as she gets used to speaking, but still, I hear her when I close my eyes. If I didn't know any better, I'd say this is how she intends to defeat me. But she made a promise, to accept her defeat and live as a woman. I know deep down she wants to embrace her femininity...

Further proof that she has me lost- she asked for her horse call, and instead I set out looking for the horse. Her horse call is in my chambers with her other weapons, but I really want to surprise her with the mare. It was well taken care of, if Link's background as a rancher means anything. I have an idea where Zelda could have taken it.

December 17th, noon

The people are starting to accept my rule. In a few days I have a meeting with Ambi of the neighboring country Labrynna, and I want to take Link along as my escort. I had Aveil tailor a dress for Link, nothing too racy but at the same time accentuating. I made it the same green of her tunic in an effort to please her, but she snorted at it and turned away.

...I lost my temper and barked at her, scaring her enough to make her fall from the bed. It scared me a bit as well, because I saw her land on her wrist and yelp. I ran to her and placed her back into bed. The wrist broke again but I used a bit of my magic to heal it, telling her it was fine. I didn't want to alarm her now that we had a modicum of trust built up between us. She calmed down when I said her presence could help me reach a peace accord.

(Note to self: Link prefers reading romance over history.)

December 19th, 11pm

I pushed her too hard. I failed to consider how much she misses her family and friends, and it resulted in that little escape attempt today.

Truth be told, I am far from angry. I'm proud that she retains all the courage granted to her by the Golden Power. I will let her meet with them in Castle Town if she so desires.

She cried herself to sleep against me in the field, so I brought her back to my chambers. I can tell she does not want to be alone, so I will stay with her tonight. Looking over her, I can't help but smile at the kiss I left on her neck. When she is ready, I will give her many more.

Dragmire Era Year 1, January 15th, 10am

I finally found Link's horse. As suspected, the mare was in old Kakariko Village. What surprised me was the person I found the horse with. I am no fool. Sheikah have been all but dead for hundreds of years, so why she thought she could confuse me by taking up the mantle of a healthy young Sheikah man, I'll never know. Though, I would enjoy seeing the look on her face if she ever discovered that my own father was part Sheikah...

But at this point, I am fine with letting her think I am oblivious. All I wanted was my love's horse. Even she has to be aware of how the people have accepted my rule. If Zelda wants to stir up trouble, let her. But she will have a hard time doing so, now that I have the Zora on my side. Their king Ralis is young, but understands that his mother's death was not my design. He looks up to Link and is one of the few who knows her secret, and will support me so long as she is unharmed.

Link is in high spirits. She loves the archery practice I set up with Aveil, though I have noticed she can't hold her bow as steadily as before. I will see about getting her a more comfortable one. I plan to give Epona to her after lunch. I can't wait to see her reaction.

I think she knows by now that most of the gifts I bring her are not exactly for her rehabilitation. This morning I saw her leave for town in a celadon cowl necked dress I had only given her the night before, when she normally stuck to the plain peasant styles. The only thing planned today is our normal lunch. I wonder, does she...

Dragmire Era Year 1, January 31st, 8pm

I don't know what I'm going to do. In my arrogance, I let the demon that was attacking my kin take over my body. It commandeered the Triforce of Power, and used it to nearly kill Link. I nearly killed Link.

She's with Kona, Aveil, and Zelda right now. Once I gather my wits, I intend to fetch her friend from Ordon. I just...

February 2nd

I found the girl, Ilia. She took me to see her father, the mayor of Ordon, as well as Link's uncle Rusl. Ilia threatened me when I found her, then threw a pot at me once she heard the details of Link's condition. I don't blame her. I wouldn't blame her for throwing knives at me.

Rusl belongs to Telma's little resistance group, and somehow had already heard of the demon plaguing my kin. He does not blame me for Link's condition, though he expects me to expend every effort to make her well. I already planned to do so. He seemed relieved when I told him a "Sheikah" was looking after her. I wonder how many others know of Zelda's disguise...

March 1st

Link still has not woken up. My doctor and midwife, Nana, assures me that everything has been done, and we simply need to wait for Link to come out of it on her own. Zelda provided blood that first night, and so Nana believes that combined with Link's own Triforce enhanced abilities are working to heal her.

The poor girl is a slow heal. It's been a whole month, and her scratches have barely faded. The bruising around her eye is still deep purple, and the gash above her brow still seeps blood. I can't remember the last time I did it, but I've been praying to the Three that she awaken. Hopefully they hear me...

March 30th, afternoon

Kona ran into my study to tell me that Link has awakened. I sighed and fell back into my chair at the news. In reality, I was afraid to be there when she woke. I didn't know how she would feel about me now that I've nearly killed her. Kona says she woke crying and the first thing she did was ask if I was okay. Me. I'm a coward for not being there.

I will go to her in the evening. I have a vial of golden chu jelly that I've been keeping for her, perhaps it will ease her pain. To think she was most worried about me...

March 31st, morning

She loves me back. She doesn't blame me for what happened, and she wants me by her side.

Right now she is sleeping beside me, her hand curled around my elbow. I couldn't be happier. When she recovers, I will make everyone aware of how much I love this woman.

April 15th, evening

My poor Link is plagued by nightmares, and the latest one has caused her harm. I was mending her tunic when she suddenly shot out of bed and screamed for me. She dreamt that I had abandoned her. NOTHING could ever cause me to abandon Link.

The gash on her stomach has reopened. I sealed it back up with some magic, and will have Nana look at it in the morning. From now on, I will spend every second by her side. The kingdom can wait.

May 8th, morning

Nana is coming today to remove Link's cast, as well as her neck bandage. If all goes well, I have a reward planned for her later tonight. Ilia told me that today is Link's birthday, so I want this to be the best birthday she's ever had.

May 9th, afternoon

Link is resting in bed today. I think she enjoyed last night, even if she was nervous. She'll probably never know, but I felt just the same.

June 2nd, midnight

Link wants to go back to Ordon. She can barely stand on her left leg, and I still have to help her to the bathroom or to the library, so I'm not too keen on letting her ride Epona that far. But she will get her wish when she wakes. I know just the transportation spell.

June 3rd, evening

Link is stubborn. This morning I transported her to her treehouse, and left her in her bed while I had a talk with Rusl and Bo. I figured it would be a nice surprise for her, to wake up in her childhood bed. I intended to be back by then, but I wasn't.

She decided to come looking for me, and stumbled out of the house, falling down two ladders. Not only that, she wandered into Ordon Village wearing pajamas and with her hair down. Did I mention that she hadn't yet told everyone in Ordon that she was no longer living as a boy?

It caused a commotion. The rancher and the shopkeeper's husband kept calling her a ghost, while the latter's daughter and the kid with the bandana defended her. Rusl and I ran outside in the middle of this commotion, finding his wife Uli hugging Link tight and Ilia berating the two adults for hurting Link's feelings.

Rusl then explained it to me- Link's mother Kirala was Uli's sister, and in that getup, she's the spitting image of her mother. Kirala was always against raising Link as a boy, but was sickly after giving birth and never recovered before the accident took her life. Uli knew Link was female, but she hadn't seen her with a female appearance before, and it brought on a flood of happy tears.

I think Link's fears about the village accepting her can be put to rest. But I am glad we came, because Rusl has consented to my request...

Dragmire Era Year 1, August 29th, morning

I haven't been keeping this journal as well as I originally intended, now that I have such a heavenly distraction...

I have decided that it is in my best interest to set up a small council. As much as I dislike that model of rule, it would help unify Hyrule. Ralis, Rusl, Zelda (or Sheik as she sometimes prefers), as well as that hulking Goron should be enough.

The council is second to my real plan, though. She hasn't figured it out yet, or if she has, she's playing coy. It's still here in my desk, and hasn't been disturbed. Aveil already knows out of necessity, but so help me if Kona finds out, then everyone will know...

October 1st, 7am

I asked Link if it would be okay to give her a few new dresses for the anniversary of my ascension. She raised her eyebrow at me but agreed when I said I thought of the occasion as the anniversary of our meeting. I don't think she suspects. It's still here, and hasn't been disturbed. I brought it out and polished it, and it's ready for her. Now Aveil just needs to get things in place...

October 17th 5am

It just occurred to me that I do not know Link's family name. I am going to propose to her in less than six hours and I don't even know her family name! It's too late to postpone, everyone is already prepared and I would look a complete fool. I could always pull Ilia aside and ask her, but the girl hasn't left Link alone since she got here. ARGH.

dragmire era, what's that mean? year 1 october 18 sometime after 2 oclock on the first day of our marriage

ganon doesn't know i took his diary. i knew something funny was going on when he insisted i dress up in a gerudo dress. most of the time i wear dresses they are the fancy full bodied hylian ones. this one was more of a bra and skirt than an actual dress. i didn't like it at all but aveil said it was cute on me so i wore it.

i want to punch him for making me cry in front of all his sisters but at the same time i know i can never live without him so i said yes. but what kind of people get married the same day they propose? the gerudo i guess. i really like his present. it's a pretty green circlet (not as fancy as that garish crown he always wears). he's going to be mad when he reads this tomorrow. sorry gan, i love you but i obviously didn't have any time to give you a present (unless you count... no that doesn't count, you do that to me all the time).

Dragmire Era Year 1 October 19th

I love my wife.

Dragmire Era Year 1, December 3rd, morning

Link insists I am sick. I am not. I do not get sick. She keeps force feeding me Ordonian leek soup and goat's milk. Gerudo don't get sick!

yes gerudo do get sick and if you don't eat the soup i'll take this book and burn it.

December 4th

I need to find a better hiding spot for this journal.

Dragmire Era Year 2, January 3rd, afternoon

Link feels a little feverish today, perhaps I was too rough with her last night. I hope she recovers in time for our trip to Termina next month. I want to show off my beautiful Ordonian queen to those stuffy Terminan Gerudo. She is my reward, my life, more important to me than the Triforce and Hyrule put together.

February 1st morning

It is with a heavy heart that I leave Link behind. She had been looking forward to the trip, but now she says her leg is in pain and Termina is too cold. The poor thing hasn't walked right since the demon incident, and I just can't bring her to travel when she is uncomfortable. I will leave this journal here while I am gone, otherwise every page will be filled with how much I miss her.

dragmire era year 2 february 21 i dunno what time it is

ganondorf, i'm scared. i don't know what to do. please don't hate me. i'm too young, this is just like what happened with my mama... aunt uli told me how my papa came to ordon from kakariko and met mama when she was real young, and they eloped. then mama got pregnant with me but she was too young and then after she had me she was real sickly and then the accident...

i don't wanna leave you and the baby all alone. please... come home...

Dragmire Era Year 2, April 15th

Since I came of age, not once have I cried. I have broken many bones in anger, my own and others', but not once have I let tears escape my eyes until I read the previous entry. I swear to you, Link, with every ounce of power in my body, I will not let such things happen. I will wrench the Triforce from my own form as well as from Zelda's to ensure that you survive to grow old with our child. You will live to see her fall in love, marry, and have children of her own. The Gerudo, the Hylians, the Zora, and the Gorons all adore you as their savoir, and will never let harm come to you. I will never let harm come to you. This is a promise.

May 8th, night

For Link's birthday, we went to Lake Hylia. I had Aveil bring Epona beforehand, and though Link is in no condition to ride the horse any longer, I let the two friends walk around the lake perimeter.

When they were finished, Link asked me to visit the Fairy Fountain with her. She hadn't been there since Zant cursed Midna (it brought back bad memories), but wanted to swim and figured that was the safest place for the little one.

On the way in, we encountered Ralis. The twelve year old Zora king showed his age when he ran to Link and started babbling about all his recent accomplishments, and Link was all too happy to listen and praise. She will be an excellent mother.

June 29th

Link is beautiful. I tried getting her to wear Gerudo clothing thinking it would be more comfortable in the heat, but she refuses to have her belly stick out "like it's on display". Instead she alternates between my undershirts and a few of her larger cloaks. I kiss her stomach every night, and the little one occasionally kicks at me.

Ilia and Rusl's wife Uli visit from time to time, and I am glad because they offer Link the motherly comfort she never had as a child. Uli especially; she has had two of her own and was present for Link's birth. She answers all of Link's questions, and lets Link practice by caring for her new cousin.

Link has asked to give birth in Ordon Village. I think that would be best, though I will make sure Nana and the rest of the castle doctors are within reach.

I know it's cliche to say that she is glowing, but Link really is. At night I catch her grinning and mumbling that she never thought this would happen, and she keeps picking out cute little baby outfits of every style and color. We know it will be a girl (male Gerudo births are becoming more common, though not with Gerudo fathers), but Link wants the child to decide on her own how she will live. I admire that.

Link has a name in mind, though she won't tell me what it is just yet.

dragmire year 2 july 3 middle of the night-ish

you're getting good at hiding this thing.

happy birthday papa, from me and kira.

July 3rd, morning

Kira... I love it. Three more months until I hold you in my arms, little Kira...

October Seventeenth in the Second Year of our Lord Ganondorf Dragmire

Our Lord and King Ganondorf Dragmire and our Lady and Savior Queen Link have welcomed their Daughter, Princess Kira Lilly Dragmire into the world on this date. His Majesty has instructed me to mark her arrival in his journal, and to announce the birth to the people of Hyrule. - Aveil, General to His Majesty Ganondorf Dragmire I

Dragmire Era Year 2, November 21st, evening

I find myself more and more distracted from this book.

Kira is adorable. She has her mother's cheeks, and a golden skin tone between my own bronze and her mother's porcelain. Her eyes are a bluish-green at the moment, but Nana thinks they'll shift toward a jade green within a few months. Her baby hair has fallen out, but it's starting to come back in as a beautiful strawberry blonde.

She squeezes my finger with a grip to be proud of. She tends to cry only when she needs something, and allows me to comfort her when Link is tired. I am glad Kira is not a fussy eater, because I can tell Link is still in pain from the birth. I will start making that blue potion cider that Link enjoys; it should ease some of the pain.

Now that I am a father, I will spend more time focusing on the future than the past, namely this journal.

Dragmire Era Year 5, October 17th, evening

I said I would leave the past in the past, but alas, here I am...

Much has changed in three years. I have become a well liked king, even in Zelda's eyes. She now resides with a group of nomads outside the Gerudo Desert; I believe they can trace their roots back to the Sheikah, so it is fitting.

The Zora are behind me one hundred percent; or rather they are behind Link. Ralis looks up to her for advice, and treats Kira like an angel. He spends quite a bit of time with her now that I think about it...

I have been working to expand my alliances with Termina, Labyrnna, and Holodrum, though Holodrum is largely leaderless. Darbus has been working to unite our two Goron populations, we'll see if he can get anywhere.

Dragmire Era Year 6, June 8th, evening

I should have known this would happen, judging by the way the two act around each other, but Vengeance and Epona have produced a foal. Link named her Freya. She's quite the specimen, and will make a fine mount for Kira when they are both older. Kira loves her now, of course, and I blame her Ordonian blood. The little elf is becoming quite interested in ranching.

July 3rd, noon

Kira gave me a rock as a birthday present. Cute.

July 4th

I take it back. Kira is a genius. She didn't give me a rock, she gave me an Evil Crystal, something almost as rare as that Goddess Plume she once found. Link frowned at me when I told her about the discovery. "What do you mean, you didn't know? She knew exactly what it was because she saw it in one of your books" was the response I got. I need to start giving Kira more credit.

July 21st, midnight

Had Zant not already been dead, after the events of today, I would have eviscerated him. How DARE he do such a brazen thing to Link?

I must do something to make this up to Link. Had I known what the Twilight Princess did for her, I would have never banished the woman. Perhaps Zelda, with her gift of Wisdom, can find someway to reconstruct that mirror...

September 10th, nightfall

Tonight, Link and Kira will play the Goddess in the ceremony. Afterward, I will give Link her long overdue birthday present. AFTER I beat Kona, of course. It's become somewhat of a tradition for the two of us to go at it during the ceremony.

September 10th, after the ceremony

I lost. Ganondorf Dragmire LOST. In my defense, the most beautiful being in the world and her little Goddess in Training distracted me. But a little bribe to Kona and I was able to take my place in the ceremony. I'm waiting for her now in the Temple, then we'll ascend the tower and see her friend again. I am ever grateful to Zelda for making this possible. Zelda in turn has requested a position as Ambassador to the Twilight Realm, and I have granted it. She wishes to study our two peoples, and do what she can to rectify the banishment of Sheikah and Gerudo to the Twilight Realm.

Dragmire Era Year 7, May 15th, noon

Kira is driving me insane. She is obsessed with fish. "Zora this", "Zora that", with an occasional "King Ralis gave me...". Just today, she started crying when I said I didn't want to read her Kompendium Aquatica. I can't stand seeing my baby cry, but...

Link just came in to remind me that I am not allowed to marry Kira off for territory (like I would ever do that), and that Ralis is a fine young man.

He's a Zora.

Dragmire Era Year 8, January 7th, noon

Meeting with Clock Town mayor was a waste, the old fool couldn't make up his mind which of the proposals was best. Instructed Captain Silvenia of the Great Bay Gerudo to implement my original border protection initiative. If Dotour has anything to complain about, let him. I'm looking out for his people as well as my own.

I caught Kira skipping lessons to meet with that blasted Zora again. Nevermind the species difference in the two, he's eighteen and she's six. Link keeps smacking me when I bring this up, reminding me that I am myself eleven years older than her. There's a big difference, I courted her when she was an adult!

Dragmire Era Year 9, December 19th, 11am

Midna has given birth to a son. I didn't even know she had a man, let alone was pregnant. When I asked Link why she didn't tell me, she said it was because Midna asked her not to. I guess she was afraid I would retaliate? Like I care if she decides to raise a family.

The little boy's name is Ghirahim. The name sounds familiar, but I can't place it. Either way, he's a lively lad, already alert mere days after birth. Midna appointed us as his godparents, and I offered to give the lad a Hyrulean rank once he is of age.

When we got back from the Twilight Realm, Link said she had something to tell me later. I asked her why it had to wait, but she shook me off and helped Kira with her schoolwork. She's been really secretive lately, and I can only hope her injuries aren't haunting her.

10pm

We're having another child! Link told Kira before she told me... That explains why the little elf was snickering and giggling throughout our swordplay lesson. I can't believe it's actually happening- Nana believed that Link's physiology was not suited for childbearing, and that we were unbelievably lucky to be given Kira.

She's prescribing bed rest for the majority of the pregnancy, and I agree. It will break Link to be cooped up in our room all day, but I will NOT risk my love's life. There is no Ganondorf without Link.

Dragmire Era Year 10, July 27th, 3pm

I passed Kira crying in the hall, and she refused to let me comfort her. I assume the cause of her tears was that Zora boy- lately if she's upset, he's the reason. I went to Link to confirm it. She told me that she tried to break it to Kira gently not to get her hopes up, but inadvertently broke her heart. Now she tells me that she is going to marry her daughter to that Zora king no matter what, and no Zora nor Gerudo is going to stop her.

I think she could tell I was not amused, because she then pointed out that she has a piece of the Triforce and Zelda was on her side. Link and I don't argue very often, but this is usually how our squabbles end- I'm reminded that enough wisdom and courage can counter power.

Link knows I would never, EVER harm her. I would never harm my daughter or daughter-to-come, and I would never deny my children their happiness.

When I think about it, Kira couldn't do much better than Ralis. I know what it's like to be a young king, and he certainly handled his sudden ascension with grace. He was actually one of my first allies when I took the throne, probably because of his friendship with Link. And now he's treating my daughter like a queen. Like his queen...

July 30th, 2pm

Link had a talk with Ralis. She joked that he's jealous of me for having no councilors. She then said he has outright refused to marry anyone but Kira, and is willing to wait until she matures (assuming she's still interested by then). I suppose that gives me eight or so years to accept that I will have finned grandchildren.

August 14th, 4am

Link has gone into labor a month earlier than expected. Aveil and Kona are fetching bedding and supplies for the infant, while Ilia, Zelda, and Nana are helping Link deliver. I'm in my study with Kira, who hasn't stopped crying since she found out. I am going to slaughter the bastard who gave her the idea that Link and the baby weren't going to come out of this okay.

Against my better judgement, I sent a messenger to Zora's Domain. Ralis will be able to help me comfort Kira. I can put my prejudices aside for the sake of my family.

4pm

Nothing yet. Zelda and Ralis have taken over comforting Kira, and I have moved to Link's side. Link looks exhausted, but keeps gripping my hand and giving me that sad little smile.

8pm

We have finally welcomed our second daughter. The poor little thing is pale as a sheet, and has soft blonde hair on her crown. Her eyes are what surprise me, they're the same sparkling cerulean as her mother's.

Midna brought Link a heated baby bed for the child, and offered services as a wet nurse for the night so Link could rest. We will name the child tomorrow, right now they both need to sleep.

Nana suspects the child has "sun sickness", a rare Sheikah condition that in the old days, spread to the Gerudo. The sickness was fatal to Gerudo, because it robs the skin of its defenses against the desert sun, but had long been thought eradicated. She must have gotten it from me; my father was half Sheikah. Luckily with Link's strong Ordonian blood, the sickness won't be fatal. The child will just need us to look out for her.

Dragmire Era Year 10, August 15th, Noon

Fi. Link said the name came to her in her dreams, and something inside myself recognizes it as well. Fi is not very fussy, despite being more active in utero than Kira was. It could be her early arrival, though...

Kira is going to be a good sister, I can tell. She has already offered to help care for Fi while Link recovers, and her motherly Gerudo blood shines through.

Dragmire Era Year 15, August 19th 7pm

I need to keep my eye on Ghirahim. He is an excellent warrior, despite his age, and has a talent for magic. However, that is not what concerns me. Given Fi's fragility, his position as Princess Guard is necessary and I will train the hell out of him. But I know the way he looks at her. I swear their mothers are plotting something behind my back...

Dragmire Ear Year 17, October 9th, 2pm

The moment I've been dreading for the last seven years has arrived- Link wants to plan Kira's engagement party. Ralis has asked to propose on her fifteenth birthday, though he promises he won't marry her until she turns seventeen.

As a Gerudo, I can't object. I remember telling Link the night I found out about Kira's conception that we have sex as young as fifteen.

As a father I want to wring Ralis's neck for even suggesting engagement at that age. But what difference does making it official make? They're still probably going to get married around that time, hell I've known about this since the girl was old enough to read.

Link has the whole thing planned. (Since when, I wonder?) It will be a surprise, the engagement disguised as her fifteenth birthday celebration. She has invited dignitaries from the surrounding territories, making it a point to request their sons attend as well. I think this is for her own enjoyment; after all we have had to fend off several arranged marriage requests over the years.

Midna will be coming of course, and I know the two queens will be scheming. I fear this situation will be repeating itself in a few years with Fi...

Though I owe my thanks to the boy. We've been receiving marriage requests for Kira ever since she was four. With Fi, I haven't had a single one and it's not because of her condition. Ghirahim must be keeping them away. After all, he does reside in the castle, they must all think it is set in stone.

That or Midna scared away her son's competition.

Kira doesn't know it, but I saw her jump out that window. The poor girl, I don't blame her for running away. It was a terrible cover story. Besides, I know exactly where she's going. Let the two comfort each other.

Although, I think Ralis still believes that I will castrate him if he touches her too soon. This could prove to be entertaining...

October 17th, evening

I told Link where Kira had gone, and she swooned. Fi was worried I was going to get mad at Kira, but I assured her that was not the case. It warms my heart how protective my daughters are of each other, despite their age difference. I told Link and Fi to get ready for their party, and went to the spillway. Sure enough, the lovers were there, trying to sneak back into the castle. I caught them in the middle of kissing.

They expected me to explode, but I merely told them to wait at least ten years before having children. Male Zora and human women are compatible, but pregnancies can be rough, especially if Kira takes after her mother. Ralis was surprised but bowed in acknowledgement, while Kira turned as red as a beet. She then ran over to me and hugged me tight.

Alas, my little girl is all grown up...

A/N: Don't worry, I haven't forgot about the younger Dragmire child. ;)

I will write the wedding, have no fear! But I want it to be perfect, so give me time to work on the details. It will be so fluffy, kittens will want to snuggle in it!
