(Y/N) is Zelda's childhood friend from birth. As a swordswoman and an accomplished archer, and with her inexplicable ability to read minds, she has always been the equivalent of royalty. However, she longed not for power but strength, and began training as a warrior in secret at a young age, at which point, she befriended link, his silence meaning nothing to the young telepath. When another divine beast, a dragon, is unearthed behind Hateno Village, (Y/N) is the obvious choice to pilot Vah Hateo. However, when the calamity strikes, (Y/N)'s fate becomes shrouded in malice and it seems only Link can save her, but does she want to be saved?
Eight years...
For eight long years your anger has fueled your desire for vengeance against the Yiga, but in an unforeseen turn of events, you, a Sheikah Warrior, are expected to leave behind your path of revenge and live up to your oath as a humble servant to the royal family. Will you take back everything the Yiga has taken from you, or will your feelings towards a certain Hylian hero lead you to a new path?
