It was the first summer after the end of the Calamity and Ganon’s defeat.

With the warmth came a humid heat that swept over Zora’s Domain, uncomfortable for Link, but not unmanageable…though the mature Zora around him seemed to be struggling a lot more.

In particular, Prince Sidon, the Zora that had stolen Link’s heart all the way back when they defeated Vah Ruta together, and who were finally courting after all this time.

Though Link had never heard of courting methods like this. Sidon had been acting very strange lately, in that he’d be very physically affectionate with Link to the point of keeping the Hylian from leaving his arms until Link prompted him. And whenever they swam together, which was often, Sidon had recently started to strangely circle Link in the water in a bizarre almost-dance, seeming in a trance until Link snapped him out of it.

In short, Link was getting confused and worried.
