Link had just barely finished dressing to address his people at the plaza. He wore his long, black and white feathered cape with his classic king's outfit, complete with crown and tights.
He climbed into his carriage and waited through the ride to the Hyrule Market. His carriage took him down the dirt road and to the gate, where the guard opened it and allowed the coach to continue.
Link was excited to get rid of his role as king. He wanted to settle down. Of course, he'd just be King Father and Zelda would be Queen Mother, but there definitely wouldn't be as much responsibility.
He felt the coach circle around the fountain in the middle of the plaza. He heard his people cheering for him. The coach completed its circle and then stopped in front of the newly built announcement balcony. Link exited his carriage and climbed the steps to where he could address his subjects.
He stepped through the curtains and listened to the cheers of his people, who admired him. He was actually going to quite miss being king...
"People of Hyrule!" he started. "I come before you today to give you news, some of which isn't good, some of which that is."
His people started to murmur. What did he mean, not good?
"The good news is that we will be having a ball next month, set for the twenty-fifth!" His people began to cheer once more.
"The bad news is that it's a coronation ball. Yes, Zelda and I will no longer be ruling you. But there is more good news! My son, Lance and his wife, Marin, shall be the new king and queen of Hyrule!" The crowd cheered.
"Is shall very well miss being king," he said. "But I shall still be living in the castle and assisting my son and daughter-in-law. Thank you for being such good subjects!" The crowd gave one final cheer before he left the balcony and climbed into his carriage, which took him back through the gate and to the castle.
