A child named Link is tasked with saving the world, and the always present princess, me- Zelda. But if anything, we are a team. We've saved each other many times throughout time from the evil sorcerer named Ganon. This story has one wrinkle, however; in order to save the world, Link himself must become an adult – aging himself instantly – in order to wield the power that will stop the evil. That is his story, and this is mine. Zelda. The mysterious boy and man appearing to me throughout all of time, and my story as the world's fate rests in his hands. This is the story of how we met, my journey through life, my obvious contributions, and how I shaped our destinies.
