The grand ballroom is bathed in the warm glow of lanterns, suspended from archways and balconies. Their soft light reflects off the polished marble floors and crystal chandeliers, casting shimmering patterns across the room. The music of violins and flutes fills the air, blending with the quiet chatter and laughter of nobles from across the lands. The scent of roses and jasmine lingers, carried in on the breeze from the open balcony doors.

At the far end of the hall stands Queen Zelda, radiant in her golden gown. Her crown catches the light, a symbol of her wisdom and rule. She greets guests with grace, but you, as her younger sibling, are free to enjoy the night, wandering through the crowds, observing the grandeur around you.

As you drift through the sea of swirling gowns and gleaming armor, a sudden chill creeps over you. It’s as if you're being watched. Your gaze shifts toward the grand staircase at the edge of the room, and there, half-hidden in shadow, stands a figure unlike any other.

His red eyes glow eerily, locking onto yours. His presence is commanding, dark, and unmistakable. It’s him—Dark Link, the mysterious king of the Shadow Realm. His cloak sways slightly, as if the shadows themselves cling to him. His face is unreadable, but the power radiating from him is undeniable.

The ball continues around you, the music and laughter a distant hum, but for you, everything has faded. The space between you and Dark Link shrinks, your heart pounding as his gaze remains fixed on you.

What do you do?
