[The video opens up to show a very worried young woman, long blonde hair framing her face.]

My name is Zelda, Princess Zelda of Hyrule...if anyone can hear this please, I need to return home. I've been told it's not possible but surely there must be some way.

[She worries her lip and tucks a side of her hair behind one pointed ear. There's a pause in her speech as she considers how best to move forward.]

The world I am from is in danger. A great Calamity has befallen my people and our Hero...Please, surely someone out there can help. If you can tell me how to return home, or at the very least if you have an advice on where I can begin looking for answers, I would greatly appreciate it.

[It's only the best holiday, duh.]

That...certainly isn't what I would consider good news, no.

[If her frown is anything to go by, it was not at all what she wanted to hear. However, that whisper catches her attention and she can't help but whisper back.]

Time...doesn't pass while I'm here? How exactly would you know that?

[His hands wring nervously.]

One of my friends has left multiple times, not by his own will, and when he returns, he says time picks up right where he left it.

I've never had it happen, myself.

I see...

[Her worry has slipped into curiosity now.]

Your friend is lucky, to at least experience this...It gives hope to others left here. Would he perhaps be open to a few questions?

I can try to get ahold of him for you.

[See: he'll send Ken a text and hope for the best.]

Until then, take comfort in the fact that you're not alone--there's a lot of us that seem to have a dire situation we have to return to. You're among friends.

If you have any questions about this place...I can try to answer a few.

My name is Gran, it's an honour to meet you, your highness.

I would appreciate it, thank you.

[Look, she's even offering a smile. Way to get on her good side.]

I'll admit, it is a bit comforting to know I am not alone in all of this...and that there are some with experience here.

The pleasure's mine Gran. And...for now, you can forego the formalities.

[The smile is encouraging, and it's enough to get him to flash one back. A smile can go a long way, after all.]

There's something comforting about being in the same situation as others, I guess. Maybe it eases the weight off your shoulders.

...

[But there's no sense on dwelling on it, at least not for now.]

Are you hungry? There's probably stuff to investigate, but I'm sure they didn't give you anything when they explained the situation to you.

Hungry? [The question comes as a surprise but...well he would be right. They don't exactly feed you when pushing you out into the world, do they?]

I suppose I should eat something...Though I am not quite sure where the best place to look for food would be. Do you happen to know the area around...Heropa, was it? Yes, I'm certain that's where I am. Do you know the area well to suggest anything, or would I be best off exploring on my own?

[Nope. Welcome to the world of capitalism and hamburgers.]

I'm familiar with Heropa! A lot of my friends live there, actually. If you'd like, I can show you one of my favourite cafes. They've got everything from sandwiches to sweets.

I sometimes get overwhelmed by the different kinds of tea they have.

[Sounds about right. Her mind is going to be blown at the idea of "fast-food".]

I would...very much appreciate that. I am used to much smaller cities and towns, if I am to be honest.

...How many different types of tea to they have? [She loves tea.]

It won't take me long to get there. Are there any landmarks of where you're at? I don't expect you to know street names just yet, but a statue or a fountain should be enough...

[Oh Zelda, he's going to buy you boba tea and show you the world.]

At least 10...I couldn't even count them all I was too busy looking at them and trying to decide.

They have bread that's a little on the sweet side too, it's one of my favourites.
