Wishing
The Princess of the Zora and Sage of Water remembers her times with the Hero, and when she realised that it could never be. She also hopes that the Zoras will be all right, and the domain will return to how it was before it was frozen solid.

It's strange, but ever since I found out who I really was, I've been feeling quite small in the scheme of things. It's only now that I realise what a little brat I used to be - I suppose being a Princess led me to be spoiled as well. Mind you, if that were the case, then you'd expect Darunia to be the same, but he isn't - he's got some wiseness around him, and I feel like such a little child. Even Saria seems wise compared to me - all of the other Sages do, and I do oft wonder why on earth I was chosen to be one. I don't think I'm nearly clever enough, but here I am.
And my people are without a ruler - father passed away from chills only a few weeks after it all ended. How cruel fate can be! He survived all of that, and for so long, only to be killed by a tiny illness that was just too much for him at his age. Hopefully Yaryt should be able to keep some order; I remember dubbing him protector of our people should anything happen to my father and I. So, that at least I don't have to worry about too much.
But, there are so many other things that I worry about. What if the dark Gerudo thief can break through our seal? If he was let loose upon the world again, would it be able to withstand him? Would the Hero still be able to rise up against him, and vanquish him again?
The Hero. Link - the one whom I thought, in my silly childish way, that I would give my heart to. And I lived with that for seven years, not knowing when he would come back and sweep me off my feet, ever hoping, always waiting. I can't believe I was so foolish as to believe that a Hylian could fall for one of us 'fish-people', with our scales and fins that seem to be so hideous to them, from what I have gathered. And he was only a child, from the forest no less - how could I believe that he even knew what marriage was?
Still, I can't help but get that old tingle when I think of him...love does not want to leave me easily. I can still remember that time when we first met - when he was so young and innocent, with the biggest and bluest eyes I had ever seen. I could drown in those eyes - which is a lot coming from one who lives in water, I can tell you! And I was so nasty to him in the beginning; probably more angry at myself for losing the sapphire, than at him for trying to help me.
Oh, blessed ignorance - he stepped into Lord Jabu-Jabu without even thinking for his own safety, just wanting to complete the mission he had been set. And he did not change much as he grew in that respect.
When he returned after those seven years, scratched and wounded all over already from awakening Saria and Darunia, I only thought of putting my arms around him and keeping him as my own. If only, somehow, to ease the sorrow and weariness in those eyes that were once bristling with the curiosity of childhood, and ablaze with merriment. Anything to give him back what he had lost amongst all the death and blood which he knew as home.
My love, how can it be fair that we all had to endure so much pain? I had to watch my entire people frozen into the water, and was only saved by a young Sheik, who fended off Ganondorf at his own peril, so that I could escape. And then, I ended up living in the dried up basin that was once the largest body of water in Hyrule.
How could the Gerudo be that cruel? To destroy the homes and livelihoods of so many people, from so many different races, and not caring who he hurt? Yes, he had power - but he did not have anything else to add to his name. He was powerful and somewhat intelligent...but not what I would call wise. And he was a veritable coward.
I suppose that is lucky, for if he had all those in equal merit, I would be willing to bet that I would be dead. That the whole of Hyrule would be dead, and only monsters would live there now. Not even Link would have been able to fight had he not had the Tri-Force of Courage - though no doubt he would have tried, brave fool that he is.
That brave fool is going to have to show bravery many more times in his life, of that I have little doubt. So I will show my courage too, and do the best I can to keep Ganondorf sealed from the world. It is the least I can do...
If only Link could take the first step back, out of his own darkness. Then - I could rest soundly during the times I am not on guard.
Please, bring yourself back Hero - Link. Show your face to the world, and let them see who it was that saved them. Show them who it was that bled and sweated, just so that they could have a shot at living again.
Show them who you are.
How I wish you would - but I cannot force you to from where I am. No one can force you to do anything...you must do it alone. As you always must - alone. We can only help you so far - we are all your friends, but you have to realise it.
I hope you will soon.

This one was at least a little longer than the last I suppose. So much unrequited love touches a chord in me - I've felt it, and I know it. [Sigh]
