Preface: I started this with Insights on the Fierce Deity, expecting to write that chapter and be done with it. But, I realized that it was not the end of Insights, it was only the beginning. Therefore, I have begun this- a comprehensive study of the Mysteries of Zelda! Any mystery or question, I will research and share my findings to the world. Insights will attempt to explain the unexplainable, the impossible, and the unlikely. I deeply hope that this will be of use to any and all who wish to read it, or to use it as future reference for as yet unwritten stories. Enjoy!
Alternate Note: If you have any topics you want me to write a chapter on, or any questions on existing chapters, I can be reached at Criosphinx@ffgurus.zzn.com.
Insights
While roaming the cavernous library of Hyrule Castle, seeking a tome to while away the hours, you have unwittingly wandered into the older portion of the library. It is dusty here, a thing unseen in normal circles. You put a cloth over your mouth, to shy away the dust your footfalls raise. You wonder how long it has been since anyone visited this place, much less cleaned it…
Running your fingers lightly over the scrolls and cloth-covered books of a time past, focus upon the novels, many of which are illegible, the ink long since faded into the dust that surrounds you.
Crash!
You have forgotten to watch your feet, and have tripped over an old and crumbling footstool. When falling, you made a desperate grab for something stable, the bookcase the only thing within reach. One of the books has fallen to the floor, its long rest disturbed by your arrival. Worried that the fragile thing must be damaged, you gingerly pick the tome off the ground.
The fall dislodged most of the dust from the cover, which is, incredibly, bound in dragon-hide. The title is embossed in gold leaf, and you see what appear to be dragon bones on the binding.
Curiosity overruling good sense, you take the ancient thing back to the main part of the library, a river of airborne dust in your wake. Carefully brushing the remaining dust from the book, you notice with interest that there are several colored ribbons marking places in the pages. Glancing at the title, you open the tome, delicately finding your way to one of the ribbon markings.
And thus begins your study of The Book of Insights…
