I decided to have Sunbeam brought to Lookout Landing, and he seems happy. His golden appearance is a wonder to many, & I know he won't be lacking for attention as the "mascot" of this place. I just couldn't leave for Hateno without knowing he would be as safe as possible.

I paid a visit to Sunbeam at Snowfield Stable. He knew me at once, my impostor never fooled him. How like Ganondorf, to try deceiving a wisdom he would never think to try understanding. He might have been a Frost Gleeok's meal if not for Link. I am so grateful. #Zelink #TotK

Our new royal blue clothing is here at last. My old travel outfit just as it was, and the Champion's Leathers I designed for Link. Purah took a picture of us side by side wearing it. It may seem like a small thing, but in that moment I finally felt...complete. #Zelink #TotK

Apparently, I'm not eating as much lately and it hasn't gone unnoticed. I've got to stop brooding on the past, or I'll make everyone worry. I'm home and that is what matters, answers will come in time if I keep looking forward. I can believe in that. I have to. #Zelink #TotK

Sometimes I overhear talk about the Dragon of Light, and I don't know how to tell the people. I can't find the words. No, that's not it. I think of how I can find them, and then all I can think is that I need his touch again. Is something wrong with me? #Zelink #TotK

I had a haunting dream. All I remember is the Great Plateau and Link at Father's grave at Mt. Hylia, but I'm looking down at all of it. An impossible sight, unless...I were flying. I could ask if he went while I was gone. Why? Why do I wonder if I want to know? #Zelink #TotK

Rocket shield flight and paragliding with Link, what a thrill! This was his way of giving me what I wanted from the Skyview Tower, not that he admits it. He just smiles when I can tell about these things. He knows what that does to me. His eyes are never silent. #Zelink #TotK

Though they are few we still have Zonai batteries left, enough to give Link and I the means to operate devices without compromising Purah's work. With a great smile she gifted me some of my own...and a rocket shield to try. To my great surprise, it was Link's idea. #Zelink #TotK

A queen free of any castle. Once, many would have called the idea childish. Yet the life I have led has brought us this far, hasn't it? There is one thing I know. Power without what it is meant to protect means nothing. I don't ever want to grow distant from them. #Zelink #TotK

I can't wait to have our next journey home. To travel the wild with the man who loves me, helping them by day and loving him by night. I missed it so badly. The truth is...even if all my hopes are realized, I think I could never be a queen who lives behind stone walls. #Zelink #TotK

Today we said our farewells to Riju, and a welcome delivery came. Letters and drawings to "Miss Zelda" from every child in Hateno Village, no doubt organized by Symin at the school when the Lucky Clover Gazette came to town. The time is right. I ache for home. #Zelink #TotK

Matters are becoming more certain. Without the Demon King, the corruption of the gloom is receding. When I or the Master Sword are near the process accelerates, and it's even faster if I exert my sacred power. They don't want me to push myself too hard. I'll try. #Zelink #TotK

Zelda Bosphoramus Hyrule @thoughtsofzelda.bsky.social · 24/03/2026
It is ironic. I know there are still times Link worries if his words say enough. For my part, his daily acts of love make me ache to follow his example. Yet he always says things like "Your smile is enough, Beloved." He is always accepting "archery practice", though! #Zelink

To think I was once scared about Link being given to me. Scared that he would see me for the failure I thought I was, scared that Father was dooming me to be resented for stealing him from his calling. But Link...he never failed to treat me as if my fears were lies. #Zelink

Zelda Bosphoramus Hyrule @thoughtsofzelda.bsky.social · 22/03/2026
Looking back, for all his mistakes, I think Father never let worries about appearances and rumors rule him. If he thought something was needed that was final, for good and ill. He trusted us together, and I know that was not only because of prophecy. I'll always remember that. #Zelink #Zelda #TotK

Link carried me to breakfast this morning, simply because he wanted to be seen doing it. I love him. Father choosing Link for me was the best thing he ever did for me. I often wonder if everything he ever did to upset me came from wanting to keep me safe. #Zelink #Zelda #TotK

Zelda Bosphoramus Hyrule @thoughtsofzelda.bsky.social · 21/03/2026
Riju confided in me. Ever since my tales she dwelled on the Demon King's evil, fearing she couldn't atone for it. But Ganondorf victimized his own people as much as anyone, Rauru knew that all along. Ardi's bravery is her legacy, not his sins. She understands now. #Zelink #TotK

Zelda Bosphoramus Hyrule @thoughtsofzelda.bsky.social · 20/03/2026
Riju has quite a lot to say about how the virtues of sand seal surfing prepared her for riding a horse, and even more about the spirit of her dear Patricia. One day we will go together and she will make a master out of me, such is her promise. I look forward to it! #Zelink #TotK

Zelda Bosphoramus Hyrule @thoughtsofzelda.bsky.social · 19/03/2026
I am giving Link's old lessons in horsemanship to Riju as a way to bond in the wild, just us girls! It has proven to be a splendid idea; I may have taken on a prodigy. The more spirited the steed, the better they get along! Most importantly, she's laughing again. #Zelink #TotK
032
Zelda Bosphoramus Hyrule @thoughtsofzelda.bsky.social · 18/03/2026
In truth, I'm a bit concerned for Riju. She's been quiet lately. She often asks to spar with Link, and defeat doesn't discourage her. Yet he senses "unease" from her swords, and he doesn't say such things lightly. I would help her to open her heart to me, if I can. #Zelink #TotK
052
Zelda Bosphoramus Hyrule @thoughtsofzelda.bsky.social · 18/03/2026
Out of all our friends, Riju is who I empathize with most. She was so young when given responsibility, and she bore it with dignity. She is now the age I was when the Calamity came. If I can be even a little like Urbosa and Sonia in her sight, my heart will be full. #Zelink #TotK
052
Zelda Bosphoramus Hyrule @thoughtsofzelda.bsky.social · 17/03/2026
After it was over, Link and I went back hand in hand. Poor Riju was the picture of distress when she saw me. All she did was speak the truth and give me understanding, with words worthy of Urbosa herself. I made sure she understood it all before I finally let go. #Zelink #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelda #TotK

Zelda Bosphoramus Hyrule @thoughtsofzelda.bsky.social · 16/03/2026
Link found me in my old room. He always finds me. He kissed me to silence my apologies, speaking only after my tears ended. "I love you for all you are. There's nothing to be sorry for." What did I do to deserve this man, who would think it madness to ask the question? #Zelink
043
Zelda Bosphoramus Hyrule @thoughtsofzelda.bsky.social · 16/03/2026
I was so stupid. Purah said I shouldn't use Skyview Tower and wouldn't explain. I found Riju and Link to vent. She spoke what he could not. "Princess, they don't want you to fall where they can't follow." I fled. I couldn't face them. Why? Why didn't I see it? #Zelink #TotK
022
Zelda Bosphoramus Hyrule @thoughtsofzelda.bsky.social · 15/03/2026
When they wanted me to abstain from trying the Skyview Tower, it was surely out of an excess of care and worry. They call me a hero, after all! I have paraglided before. I'd just be higher than before, that's all. It must be so much fun... #Zelink #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelda #TotK

Zelda Bosphoramus Hyrule @thoughtsofzelda.bsky.social · 14/03/2026
Temptation lurks. Now that Lookout Landing is returning to normal, the Skyview Tower is in my thoughts. It's right there. Such a wondrous machine. Am I really going to leave for Hateno without seeing how it works? Without knowing the wonder of gliding from so high? #Zelink #TotK

Sidon bid us farewell today, declaring that he hopes to follow our example for "romantic adventure in the wild." He's right, isn't he? We go to the wild for others, not for us. Yet romance seeks us, every time we help together. This is our way. #Zelink #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelda #TotK

A dream came to me. A woman haloed by blinding light looks at me. This time dawn's light surrounds us in a forest, not darkness. She comes near to hold my face in silence. I awoke to Link wiping away my tears, full of concern. But I think it was a good dream. #Zelink #TotK
052
Zelda Bosphoramus Hyrule @thoughtsofzelda.bsky.social · 11/03/2026
It feels strange to receive gratitude from Sidon. To listen to him tell it, I am a wellspring of wisdom. In my mind I continue to be a learner, with so far to go. I confided this to Link. He simply gave a silent smile that took my breath away. #Zelink #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelda #TotK
031
Zelda Bosphoramus Hyrule @thoughtsofzelda.bsky.social · 11/03/2026
I spoke to Sidon with Link's advice in mind. I was so worried about hurting him but if anything, he's now more spirited than ever! He is inspired to discuss a "honeymoon adventure" with Yona. It would be a fair compromise, and romantic too. #Zelink #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelda #TotK

Zelda Bosphoramus Hyrule @thoughtsofzelda.bsky.social · 10/03/2026
When I don't know what to do, I talk to Link. He was silent for a long time before his answer. "When I can't do something for you, I find things to do." The words meant far more than they said, and we both knew it. Our embrace was everything. #Zelink #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelda #TotK

Zelda Bosphoramus Hyrule @thoughtsofzelda.bsky.social · 09/03/2026
I did not think of the situation this way, nor did Sidon. But what about the next time there is a disagreement, and it is about something more serious? Sidon is looking on me with so much hope. How can I speak of this without discouraging him? #Zelink #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelda #TotK

Zelda Bosphoramus Hyrule @thoughtsofzelda.bsky.social · 09/03/2026
I went to Mineru and Purah for advice. "Since when does a good husband count on another woman to talk to his wife?" Purah's blunt words were echoed by Mineru's diplomacy. It was Rauru's joy to talk through everything with Sonia, no matter what. #Zelink #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelda #TotK
021
Zelda Bosphoramus Hyrule @thoughtsofzelda.bsky.social · 09/03/2026
I try to write a letter for Yona, but the words do not come. Her thoughts are noble. In her place, would I be different? Yet I have seen how celebration can be a boon to all, and what of the nobility of Sidon's wish to show love? I am torn in two. #Zelink #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelda #TotK
032
Zelda Bosphoramus Hyrule @thoughtsofzelda.bsky.social · 08/03/2026
Sidon has a happy, awkward problem. He wishes to give Yona a proper wedding party, but what is one to do if the bride judges such a thing a "selfish extravagance" in these times? He hopes I can convince her. But is it my place to, even if I could? #Zelink #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelda #TotK

Zelda Bosphoramus Hyrule @thoughtsofzelda.bsky.social · 08/03/2026
Sidon has taken to giving stirring accounts of his exploits with Link, and my adventures too. I daresay he could make a fine bard! If the crown weighs on him, he doesn't show it. If anything, his cheerful countenance is more reassuring than ever. #Zelink #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelda #TotK

Zelda Bosphoramus Hyrule @thoughtsofzelda.bsky.social · 06/03/2026
Yunobo went home. He offered to return his secret stone, in case I thought it could help more elsewhere. A humble act but absurd, though I'm not one to talk. Link wisely said the offer proved that he should keep it. He's come so far. I love him. #Zelink #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelda #TotK
062
Zelda Bosphoramus Hyrule @thoughtsofzelda.bsky.social · 05/03/2026
I'm not certain but based on what I know and what Yunobo is telling me about what he can commit to rearming Hyrule, he may be wealthier than Father was before he married. I think I had better keep that to myself; it would embarrass him if he knew. #Zelink #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelda #TotK
021
Zelda Bosphoramus Hyrule @thoughtsofzelda.bsky.social · 05/03/2026
If one thing worries me right now, it is the damage the upheaval has done to people's ability to defend themselves. Yunobo has pledged to spare no expense at employing and training blacksmiths to forge new equipment. Sidon and Riju will help too. #Zelink #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelda #TotK

Tulin is off to Rito Village with his parents. He actually embraced me before they left. I told him Revali and Raphica would be proud, I hope he believes it to be so. Saki thanked me with fruitcake. My weakness is an open secret, it would seem! #Zelink #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelda #TotK
052
Zelda Bosphoramus Hyrule @thoughtsofzelda.bsky.social · 02/03/2026
Link and I sprung our surprise for Tulin. What began as an "archery contest" ended with a happy reunion when I emerged with Teba and Saki. Every word of praise Link wanted them to hear was sincere, and we all knew it. It was the least I could do. #Zelink #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelda #TotK
022
Zelda Bosphoramus Hyrule @thoughtsofzelda.bsky.social · 01/03/2026
I wrote a letter to Teba and Saki. Tulin denies being homesick, but in him I see too much of the girl I was. He so badly wants to be seen as grown up, equal to the others. He thinks it means he can't be the first to go home. Home will come to him. #Zelink #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelda #TotK

Zelda Bosphoramus Hyrule @thoughtsofzelda.bsky.social · 28/02/2026
Link and I had "archery practice" in Lookout Landing. He hit every mark, as did I with his "guidance". They saw it all. Every gentle touch and intense look for my "rewards". Every kiss. We were both right. It was embarrassing and perfect. #totk #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink
062
Zelda Bosphoramus Hyrule @thoughtsofzelda.bsky.social · 27/02/2026
Link has asked for a session of "archery practice" with me in the heart of Lookout Landing. If we do that, everyone will be watching. All he did was smile when I said so. Oh, my heart... #totk #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink
021
Zelda Bosphoramus Hyrule @thoughtsofzelda.bsky.social · 26/02/2026
It would be easy to use the Skyview Tower system to transport us near to Hateno Village. But rather than that, I would journey there with Link. That way I can see more of Hyrule, and perhaps we can be of help too. I feel like I'm seventeen again! #totk #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink

Zelda Bosphoramus Hyrule @thoughtsofzelda.bsky.social · 25/02/2026
The time is near for us to part, for a time. Riju and Sidon have duties. Mineru and Purah have much to talk about. Tulin is homesick, Yunobo has his business. For my part...I ache to be with Link in our little house. I miss home. I miss my kids. #totk #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink
042
Zelda Bosphoramus Hyrule @thoughtsofzelda.bsky.social · 24/02/2026
I am reassured to hear that the Lucky Clover Gazette is far from done in its reporting of our accounts. I am even invited to submit my own writing about Rauru and Sonia and what I learned about the founding. I only hope I can do them justice. #totk #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink

Zelda Bosphoramus Hyrule @thoughtsofzelda.bsky.social · 23/02/2026
There's a new fruitcake this morning, since Link saw how much I was enjoying the one from yesterday. This one's got mighty bananas and hydromelon slices, that is a new combination. Perhaps it will last through tomorrow...maybe. #totk #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink

Zelda Bosphoramus Hyrule @thoughtsofzelda.bsky.social · 22/02/2026
I've got an "apology fruitcake" from Purah. Entirely unnecessary, of course, I know that her laughter was out of love. And besides...fruitcake. She always did know how to make me feel better. #totk #Zelda #LoZ #TLoZ #Zelink
