Zelda focused her and powers lifted the heavy timeshift stone, and levitated it across the temple into the back room. She gently let it down in the centre of the room. She left the room and went over to the chest that was now full with some of her belongings that she had brought: a bow, a quiver with some arrows, a rapier, her goddess robes, and a fairy in a bottle. She changed into her white robes and equipped herself with what she had; she hung the bow and quiver over her shoulder, grabbed the rapier in one hand, and stashed the bottle up her other sleeve. She neatly put her Skyloft robes into the chest and returned to the timeshift stone. She stared at it for a moment, pondering if her plan could work, and the anxious feelings she had were vanquished as she swung the rapier at the stone. The room began to transform even further into the past, and she watched as the slightly faded stones of the temple turned into fresh stones and the air became heavier. She looked around to see that the large doors were closed, but that the perimeter of the stone went beyond the room and into the greater part of the temple. She pushed open the doors magically with her free hand, never letting go of her rapier. Past the doors, she saw several creatures standing around a tall woman in white robes. From behind, Zelda could see her long blonde hair, and a large crown adding to her overall height. Most noticeably, Hylia seemed to have large wings, but they were folded by her back and the details were unclear, but they did seem to emit a soft glow. By her sides, Zelda could see a golden harp, and a sword that made an overwhelming resemblance to the Master Sword, but it didn't seem to be quite the same. The creatures around Hylia stopped immediately, and Zelda could distinctly see that the Robots, the Parella, the Mogma, the Gorons, and the Kikwis were all present, although how the Parella were in here was something she'd have to think about another time. Hylia turned to face Zelda, and Zelda quickly realized which part of time she was in. Hylia's skin seemed to glow white, but her skin on her right side of her neck and her right arm was tainted with black veins that appeared very close to the surface; Hylia had just fought Demise and sealed him away, and this is what she appeared like when she had been injured. Hylia observed Zelda, and her eyes seemed to go deeper than the surface. Hylia took a step forward, and after a moment, Zelda slowly walked down the stairs to meet her, but she stopped a few steps from the bottom so that they were the same height.
"I am Zelda, mortal reincarnation of the Goddess Hylia." Hylia furrowed her brow but remained silent. "I have come from the era where Demise has successfully been defeated, and the mission of the Goddess's Hero has been accomplished." Hylia raised her eyebrows this time, but her eyes also squinted a little bit. "The humans of the sky have peacefully returned to the surface and are making all efforts to maintain a unified peace across the land with all creatures and tribes." Hylia's face relaxed, but she still made no effort to speak. She turned to the closest Goron, who immediately held out his stony hand. Hylia ran her fingertips across his hand, and he nodded at her and turned to leave. A small group of Gorons followed him out the doors of the temple into the woods outside. Hylia repeated this process until it was just Zelda and Hylia. Hylia turned to face Zelda again, and she had only just realized that the sword and harp were no longer in Hylia's hands. Hylia stepped forward and lifted up her hand, so Zelda held up her hand like the creatures had done, and Hylia lowered her fingertips onto Zelda's hand. There was a short moment of silence, but then Zelda heard a strong, mystic voice inside her own head,
"I am relieved to know that my efforts have succeeded in your time, it gives me great satisfaction to know that Demise and his demon hoards will not be such a powerful threat. I am aware that both Gates of Time have been destroyed, and you are correct in thinking that those gates could not remain active, as they were so accessible to so many beings. However, one day, a Gate of Time will be necessary for a hero to rid the world of a great evil, and I am afraid I must burden you with one last task."
"You have already taken away my life, my family, and my friends from me; have I not exceeded your expectations yet?"
"I can return you to your own time, and that is where you will lay out the foundation for a new Gate of Time to be created. You need only make it possible for a future generation to create the gate, but you must follow my direct instructions when doing so."
