Summary
The Princess asked me to compile a record of the restoration of Hyrule following the Great Calamity.
Imagine that! The actual Princess of Hyrule defeated the Calamity and assumed her throne again, and the first thing she does after that is seek out little ol’ me!
… Okay, I think she was really in Gerudo Town to talk to the Chief about some alliance, but still! She knew who I was and she knew about the work I do. She even said she’d grant me an exclusive interview! And to be honest, I’ve been kind of curious myself. Life after the Calamity… There’s a lot of talk about it in the stables. I’ll do my very best to create a proper record!
Written for the Hyrule Apocrypha zine.
