Princess Zelda – The Princess Who Knew Too Little (Patreon)

Morning in Hyrule always begins the same—quiet halls, soft light, and the weight of a crown she never asked for.

Zelda tells herself she’s composed. Elegant. In control.

…but curiosity has always been her weakness.

A “quick break” turns into a moment alone—just to breathe, just to feel something that isn’t duty.Her thoughts wander further than they should… and her body follows.

“Just a little… no one will know.”

By afternoon, the princess who once studied ancient texts finds herself studying something far more… personal. Each discovery leaves her more flushed, more restless, more aware of how little she understands herself.

“Is this… normal?”

She doesn’t notice the door at first.Or the quiet presence behind her.

“Zelda?”

She freezes.

Of course.

Of course it’s him.

“…Link?!”

Perfect timing. As always.

He stands there, calm as ever, like he didn’t just walk into the most unroyal moment of her entire life.

Zelda tries to recover—straightens up, clears her throat, attempts dignity.

Fails instantly.

“I—this is—research.”

Link tilts his head.

That quiet, clueless look?Yeah. Not helping.

The silence stretches.

Zelda’s cheeks burn.

“…you didn’t see anything.”

He doesn’t move.

“…right?”

Still nothing.

Just that same look.

And somehow… that’s worse.

By evening, Zelda has come to two conclusions:

She’s definitely not as composed as she thought.

Letting Link walk in was either her biggest mistake…

…or her most interesting discovery yet.
