diary entree 1:

I don't know how to start a diary. Zelda bought me this so that I can share my feelings without sharing my feelings. I'm just going to trust her.

Zelda officially moved all of her stuff into my home today. I've been sleeping on a cot. She told me that I didn't have to but I insisted that she should get the bed. She also took down my weapons and hung more pictures on the wall. She says her favorite is the one of us and the champions. She and I have that in common. We have a lot in common.

diary entree 2:

Zelda took me up to Gerudo Town today. It was the first time since the calamity and Riju told me that I am allowed in town even though I am a voe. Buliara still is a little hesitant around me. She intimidates me a little bit. Zelda shared with Riju about the Zonai. She's been very interested in this lately. Riju said that she had women lost in the sand shroud that had been slowly forming around the town. Not only that but there is a huge storm cloud over Rito Village, red gloom above Death Mountain, and people getting sick from said gloom. I haven't been to Zora's Domain since the calamity but I'd assume they must have it bad there too.

Sidon calls me his best friend because I saved the Domain, but I don't think we're best friends. He is a nice guy, but he's too loud for my taste. He's still a good friend though. I wonder how he's doing today.

Zelda told me she wants to go underneath the castle tomorrow to investigate where the gloom is coming from. I don't think it's a very good idea. Purah encouraged it, which means Zelda is not backing down from this. Not much happened today other than following Zelda around while she theorizes about the Zonai with the Zonai Survey Team.

diary entree 4:

I haven't had time to write in this since I've been stressing about finding Zelda. I finally have one night that I can relax. I am selfishly delaying saving Hyrule again to get rest to prepare to fight the Demon King. Impa helped me find each dragon tear around Hyrule. I learned that Zelda is currently flying around the country high in the sky beautifully. She selflessly consumed her secret stone and committed Dragonification to wait for me to save Hyrule. She has waited 10,000 years for me to receive the Master Sword she's been healing and use it to fight Ganondorf and save Hyrule. I have the Legendary Sword and the sages, Sidon, Riju, Yunobo, Tulin, and Mineru by my side. We cannot fail.

Tomorrow I will fly up to the Light Dragon one more time and head down into the depths to fight the Demon King.

diary entree 5:

It's been a while since I've written here. Zelda is home, safe, and down in my old house in Hateno and I'm living in Terry Town with my own bed. It's much bigger and I can have my weapons stored on my walls. It's weird not being with her 24/7. Every morning right at the crack of dawn I wake up, pray to goddess Hylia, and take Epona down to Hateno to start my day with Zelda. However, the morning after bringing Zelda back, I overslept and she came to my house at noon to wake me up.

The arm Rauru gave me is gone and I was so used to using ascend or ultrahand that sometimes I would raise my arms and jump to whatever is above me and I would just get humiliated. I bring this up because this happened to me today when Paya wanted me to ascend into Zonai ruins and I attempted to ascend but failed.

diary entree 6:

Zelda told me to not be by her side every second of the day and has given me days off. She says she's too old for an escort and knight. She says I'm her best friend and likes being around me, but she knows that I have my own life too. But what I want is to be with her all the time. But I just nodded and let her be on her own.

On my days away I visit Sidon occasionally. He's not what I thought of him as when I first met him as an adult. He's super kind and understanding. He asked me today why I don't talk. Today was the first time in a very long time I've talked out loud in a while. I only ever talked to people when I was looking for Zelda, and since then I've stopped again. But Sidon says he likes hearing me talk. So I told him the same thing I told Zelda many moons ago: because it's necessary to stay strong and silently bear the burden.

Sidon liked my reason and says he looks up to my bravery. I still don't understand Sidon very much, but he's very kind.

diary entree 7:

I went up to Rito Village to see how Tulin was doing. He has grown a few inches since I've seen him and is way better at his wind gusts. He can even do Revali's gale and blow enemies away. He's only practiced with fake enemies since they're all gone after the Upheaval.

After I went to Rito Village I went to Kakariko Village. Paya still acts very nervous in front of me. In my honest and respectful opinion, it's funny and a little cute. I used to take my shirt off to see her reaction but she's informed me that it makes her uncomfortable. The Zonai Ruins that fell on Kakariko village are mostly cleared up the ones that fell on buildings and were just in the way I helped clear up. We left the touristy ones, though.

diary entree 8:

Today Zelda took me up to the Sanidin Park ruins and we sat on the bottom of the horse statue and she talked while I listened. The sun was setting in front of us. When I would look over at her while she's ranting about what she saw and who she met in the distant past and all the research she's done, all I can do is admire her. I understand I won't be enough for her, I'm only her appointed knight. But I still admire her and enjoy her company. later we weren't talking, and she spoke up and said "Do you ever wish we were two other people?"

It got me thinking. This question has been on my mind ever since. I didn't respond to her question, and she never told me her answer either.
