Important Notice

Oh me oh my! Does anybody remember me? I haven't updated this baby since...2003! Wow. It's been a little over two years now, so why am I back, you ask? Well, I don't know! I had originally come back to this story (about three days ago) and I felt guilty about letting it go to waste. :( The plot is a bit cliché, but I think I would like to continue it! After editing the plot and thinking about it a lot, I'm excited about continuing this project.

BUT! I can't stand the first 6 chapters! XD So I'm revising it, and I will post a NEW and IMPROVED version really soon.

Some revisions you can expect:

More Intricate Details

I barely described anything in the original version! In the revised, I'm adding a whole lot more details.

Original Version: ...I actually didn't describe Zelda's appearance at all!

Revised Version: "In any case, Zelda was truly the Delight of the Kingdom's Eyes. Her honey-colored hair fell well past her shoulders, and her blue eyes were large and gentle. Her skin was milky white, no doubt thanks to her seclusion from the sun. Madame Loraine, Zelda's teacher in Proper Etiquette for a Princess, had made sure that Zelda spent as little time as possible in the outdoors. As a child, though, Zelda often went against her wishes to bask in the sunlight on a bright spring day. Flower buds and trees were her favorite things in the world."

Better Back Story

-I'm giving the village where Link lives a more rounded feel. The King and Queen have distinct personalities, and Link's family has a job.

-I'm also changing Link's family's names (Lunar, Linda, and Linux? What was I thinking!) His mother is Blessy, and I'm using Aryll from Wind Waker as his younger sibling.

-I'm making Zelda's castle life a bit more realistic (ex: she doesn't need attendance walking down stairs anymore), but still making her seem like a prisoner in her own home.

-MALON IS NO LONGER A BRATTY SNOB! I got a couple reviews saying they disliked the way Malon was portrayed in this version (and after re-reading it, I agree with them!). She will still be Zelda's 'rival', but her personality will be more true to the game.

Plot Twists

In the original version, the plot had mainly one major conflict. Not so with the revised version! XD Without spoiling anything, I'll just say this new version will have three major conflicts, each leading into the next.

Okay? I have the first 3 chapters already written out and ready. ) I'll post the first chapter later tonight hopefully (I just have to proofread it, etc). Check my profile to see when I post the new story.

EDIT/

Urgh, I didn't realize you couldn't post Author Notes as a separate chapter. Hm...well, so I don't go against the rules, here's a preview of the new chapter one? XD

--------------------

Zelda was probably the most beautiful girl in the Kingdom. "And well she should be!" was a common utterance from Madame Loraine, for Zelda was not only a beautiful girl, but a princess. Princess Zelda Madeleine Harkinian IV. The only child and heir of the King and Queen. It was a mystery to the common folk of the kingdom; why did the King and Queen only have one child? Some said that they could not conceive naturally, and Zelda had been a miracle, but others were doubtful.

In any case, Zelda was truly the Delight of the Kingdom's Eyes. Her honey-colored hair fell well past her shoulders, and her blue eyes were large and gentle. Her skin was milky white, no doubt thanks to her seclusion from the sun. Madame Loraine, Zelda's teacher in Proper Etiquette for a Princess, had made sure that Zelda spent as little time as possible in the outdoors. As a child, though, Zelda often went against her wishes to bask in the sunlight on a bright spring day. Flower buds and trees were her favorite things in the world.

But currently, the princess's sapphire eyes were downcast. She sat on the window-seat in her room, staring through the tainted glass. The sky was bleak and grey, threatening to spill into rainfall at any minute.

Zelda scanned the Kingdom below her. Her room was situated in one of the high towers, so she could see well over the castle walls to the village below. Her eyes darted back and forth, watching smoke rise from humble chimneys, and horse-driven carriages bumping along the paved roads...

"Princess?" came a small voice from the doorway. Zelda turned her head away from the window and looked to the speaker. It was a mousey servant-girl, no older than Zelda herself. "The King wishes to speak with you."

"Alright, thank-you," Zelda started, standing up.

"The King is in his Royal Study," the servant offered, moving to let Zelda pass through the doorway. "Do you want me to accompany you?"

Zelda flashed a smile and shook her head. "No, I'll be alright." The servant girl curtsied, and went on her way, leaving Zelda to herself. Zelda turned to the left and started down the hallway, heading for her father's study. When she reached the door, she made sure her dress was smooth and her hair was straight before she went in.
