[Zelda has just returned from being captured by a mysterious foe. General Wright and Minister Lefte apologize to Zelda for not being able to find her.] (To General Wright and Minister Lefte) General Wright. Minister Lefte. I appreciate your sentiments, but let's not dull this joyous moment with our regrets. (To Zelda) Zelda, my dear daughter, you did well to return to us. Come closer so I may look upon you. [Zelda steps closer.] (Joyous) Ah, I am so relieved. You are happy and whole and well. (Curious) So, tell us, Zelda. What happened to you?

[Zelda tells you of the swordsman who saved you.] (Shocked) A swordsman in green saved you from a fell beast! Quite the tale. (Concerned) But after defeating the monster, the swordsman was taken by a rift. It's him we have to thank for saving your life. Hm... [Minster Lefte expresses concern that the swordsman was pulled into a rift.] (Agreeing) Indeed. I hope he is safe.

[You've been saved from the rift by Zelda.] (Confused) Oh... (Relieved) Zelda! (Confused) Where...where am I? The castle? Everything feels hazy. [Zelda tells you about the Hyrule Castle rift.] (Remembering) Ah, I recall it now! I was pulled into a rift! Ah, my dear daughter... You saved me. Thank you. What has happened to Hyrule in my absence?
