"I-I don't think I can do it. It's so much responsibility, and I'm not good with people. What if I fail? I don't have the experience!" Ahura vented out loud. She paced the room Ganondorf was currently staying in. He watched her with his golden eyes while he sat on his bed.
"Ahura," he spoke calmly, but she either ignored him or didn't hear him. She continued saying how she wasn't good enough for the offer Princess Zelda gave her a couple of hours ago to be the Hylian representative. "Ahura, calm down."
"Calm down?" Ahura turned to him. She buried her face into her hands. Her entire body shook with anxiety. "I can't do this."
"Ahura, who was the one that forged an alliance between the Sheikah, Zora, and Gorons?"
Ahura looked up at him through a gap in her fingers. "I helped a little, but you--."
"I did nothing in that regards. You were the one. They did not trust me, but they trusted you. You were the one that eased their worries about working with the Bulblins. You stopped them from killing Link. You stopped me from falling victim to Demise. There is no Hylian more suited for this position."
"Do you...Do you mean it?"
"Yes, I do. I wouldn't say so otherwise."
Ahura nodded her head and made her way towards him. She sat next to him on the bed and rested her head on the side of his arm. "You'll help me, though, right?"
"Of course. I don't think you'll need it, but I'll be here for you."
"Thank you," Ahura murmured. She closed her eyes as a million thoughts ran through her mind. "What about your people?"
"What about them?" Ganondorf looked down at her.
"You're the Gerudo representative, but..." Ahura trailed off.
"I know," Ganondorf spoke with a sigh. "However, I have heard of some survivors, so my people aren't completely gone. The most I can do is pass my culture onto them. I'm not going to have children, so if the survivors want to pass on our legacy that is there choice."
Ahura nodded. "I think that's the best we can hope for. We can offer our guidance, but what other people do with it is up to them."
Ganondorf smiled lightly and gently took Ahura's hand. "Then, we'll do it together."
