Chapter 2
Link can see the dismay in Tetra’s eyes when the King of Hyrule announces her real name while the group are in the Sacred Chambers.
Princess Zelda.
He feels just as uncomfortable as she looks when long tresses replace coarse hair darkened by the sun, and tanned skin becomes silky smooth and white as snow. Worst of all is the unsettling resignation in blue eyes.
It’s far too dangerous for her join the boy in his tasks, the King of Hyrule announces to her grandly. Link wonders why he bothered awakening her in the first place.
Fate is a fickle mistress, as Link had learned the hard way, so the boy had once hoped against hope that the princess would at least be spared of hers. Perhaps that had been wishful thinking on his part.
Tetra is as chained to her fate as Link is now.
