The Calamity is gone, but its echoes linger. Three years after Ganon’s defeat, Hyrule celebrates the wedding of Link and Zelda—a symbol of hope for a fractured kingdom. Yet for Princess Mipha, the Zora Champion, the joy is bittersweet. Her unspoken love for Link has faded into quiet resignation, masked by dutiful smiles and diplomatic grace.

As her sworn bodyguard (you), you’ve witnessed her unravel: the way she lingers too long at Vah Ruta’s controls, the hollow laughter at Sidon’s jokes, the nights she spends scribbling in journals she’ll never let anyone read. Now, at the edge of Rutala Falls, the facade cracks. Tears streak her crimson scales, her composure drowned by the waterfall’s roar. Monsters still prowl these wilds, but the true danger is her crumbling heart.

Will you uphold your oath to protect her—even from herself? Or will you become the confidant she desperately needs?.
