…I know we said goodbye, anything else would have been confused…
Zelda lay alone in her bedroom, in the gigantic grey bed. She looked at the empty spot beside her, sighing in despair. For all the bad things he had done, she still loved him. More than anything. And she needed him with her. She knew she could change him. If she had some time… Zelda sat bolt upright. Time. She was the Sage of Time! Today was the first time she had manipulated time, and it was exhausting. She didn't know if she possessed the sheer power to give herself enough time to change Link. Slowly, Zelda rose from the bed. Throwing a tiny bit of magic at herself, she transformed into the white jumpsuit, her Sage outfit. Admiring her once more shiny hair, Zelda smiled. So this was her true form. The one that Link and evil had not dulled. Disappearing in a puff of white smoke, the bedroom became empty.
Zelda looked around, confused. This wasn't Zora's Domain. Intending to meet Ruto, Zelda had attempted to teleport to the watery palace. But instead she was in some strange place. She stood in the middle of a strange blue platform, which seemed to be floating in some endless void. There were six coloured circles surrounding her. The green one seemed dark compared to the other bright ones. Suddenly a flash of blue lit up the room. Standing on the blue circle was Ruto. She smiled at Zelda. One by one, the other sages flashed and appeared on their circles. But no-one stood atop the green circle or the purple circle. Zelda looked down, and realized she was standing on her own white circle. Suddenly there was a purple flash and there was Qaya, in loose purple robes, black hair swept back. Zelda smiled. She had figured Qaya would be the Spirit Sage. Darunia spread his arms out. "Welcome to Chamber of Sages, Time!" he said. "You summoned us. What need do you have?" Zelda was confused. "A-Actually, I just wanted to talk to Ruto, but…" she trailed off. Ruto smiled. "When one Sage is in need, help is never further than the Chamber," she explained. Zelda nodded and took a breath. "I… I need to turn back time." There was silence. "Um… I don't want to go on like this. I need Link to change. I will not stand for such an empty love. Except… I just don't know if I am powerful enough to do such a large task. I froze time for that moment in Gerudo Fortress and it was so hard. To turn back time all that way back… and alter the course of history… can I do it?" she asked. Ruto bit her lip. "The problem is, Time, that we could give you the power we needed… except for Forest. Without her, we are not complete," she said. Zelda looked over at the dark green circle. She thought hard. Suddenly she had an idea. "Please, Sages, wait here. I will not be long." With that Zelda disappeared in another puff of white smoke.
Zelda stood in front of the Temple of Time. The door had been mysteriously blocked ever since the incident with Link. Taking a deep breath, Zelda envisioned the interior of the Temple and willed herself there. She felt herself disappearing but when she opened her eyes she was in some strange void. Everything was blue, red and a very dark green all at the same time, somehow. Zelda tried to move but could not. Suddenly a voice filled her head. It was warm, kind, and reminded Zelda of the ocean at sunrise, and magic. "Hello, Princess," it said. "I see you are in my need. I am Nayru, of course. You seek the power to resurrect Saria of the Kokiri? Impossible. The Kokiri, as you know, are magic fairy children. Once a fairy dies, it is lost forever. I am sorry. But I know you don't seek Saria in particular, just a Forest Sage. I must tell you. My sister is lost and confused after she was rendered evil by Link and his deeds. She wanders the Kokiri Forest, destroying any living thing she sees, calling out for her children, throwing her magic at the Deku Tree. I fear she will destroy herself. She must be your Forest Sage. You must somehow purify her. She is no longer Farore, but has named herself Imozen. Din and I cannot save her, since she has turned her back on the Heavens. She is still a goddess, but barely. Only a powerful mortal can save her: you. Go now, Princess, with me blessings. I will give you all the power I have to give." Zelda's world went black.
