It had been 100 years since you'd sacrificed your life during the Calamity. You had dedicated your entire existence to that kingdom, until you had become a martyr for it. You'd given up the life you lived alongside the guardians.. and Link, your closest companion.
But you weren't gone, contrary to what the people believed. And you hadn't stopped thinking of him. For 100 years, you remained dormant in the heart of the ruined castle, your form being manipulated by Ganon as a guardian of his dormant form...
Until Link made a sudden return.
Now, your eyes open to find yourself lying in the castle sanctum, the rising sun filtered through the stained glass windows. Cradling you in his arms was Link, having just defeated the prison of Ganon's malice that held your battered body.
Link tensed as your eyes opened before a wave of relief washed over him. His arms tightened around your form, his head lowered to move closer to you. Fighting your corrupted double had clearly taken a toll on him.
