EPILOGUE

THREE YEARS LATER

Extract from the Diary of Link, the Hero of Wind

Dear Diary,

Wow. Life has changed a lot, but life will never be the same. With the Triforce carriers so closely related – Aryll and I sister and brother, Zelda and Aryll now becoming best friends – you can see the Triforce shining whenever one of us even THINKS about calling on the power of the Triforce.

Not only has my life changed, but the life of others too! When we got home, we buried all of the dead where they were supposed to live: Windfall mainly, Calandra and five other Ritos at in Dragon Roost Cavern, the poor Korok Oakin at Forest Haven, Zuko of Tetra's – I mean Zelda's – crew, and some that were unknown were buried at sea. After that, we buried Bryn at Outset Island in the Faerie Forest, right next to the Faerie Fountain. After that, Aryll used her abilities to do the most tremendous thing: she altered the world so that every island is connected! At first I did not believe me when she told me, but the next morning, she slept till three and when I went outside to practice sword fighting, I saw land as far as the eye could see. There was a huge castle rearing to the sky, and the world looked like Hyrule, the one under our feet and the one that I saw when I met the Hero of Time! I found a horse and named him Windbreeze after the horse that Link – the other Link, of course, not me – had given to me. Everyday I ride on Windbreeze. There are still streams, lakes, ponds, and rivers, of course, but I let King Daphnes relax everyday and ride on Windbreeze instead.

I am so restless for two days from now, when Zelda, Aryll, Chief Komali, Medli, Makar, the Great Deku Tree (we're going to Forest Haven, of course), and the King are going to have a meeting to name this new world. I will ride Windbreeze there, but will set the King on a river and aim the wind with the Wind Waker towards Forest Haven. While I'm there, I have some errands to do. What better to do at Forest Haven than drop off pictures at the Nintendo Gallery?

How did they come up with the name "Nintendo", anyways? Oh well. We may never know.

Well, I best get on Windbreeze if I am going to ride days to get to Forest Haven. If the King of Red Lions gets stuck on the way, he can always talk to me through the Gossip Stone. Why not? Oh well. Must be going.
