Swet... Right as I got home, I checked my e-mail, and here this was. Good timing. ^_^ And now, you're just going to make me wait for another chapter. Fine. I'll stay in this spot until you update. ^_^

Cool. Like I said; I don't know much about Zelda, but this was awesome. And you actually write her with a backbone! Props. ^_^

A little sudden, but prologues have a habit of being that way. I'm definitely interested in the direction you might take this. Those seven lost years are full of all kinds of opportunities for adventure and madness.

Suggestions? Eh, it feels inane to give advice this early in the game. I'll ignore content and focus only on presentation.

The language has an odd tendency to either be way over the top ("Its smile was of one whose mind had been utterly obliterated by the desire for power") or weirdly off-the-mark with understatement ("Worries of all types showered my mind . . ."). Both are things to watch for, but if I were to focus on one, I would go with the former, since these kinds of sentences can border dangerously on silly and/or pretentious. Really, neither example is bad per se, just enough off from the rest of the language (or in the case of the second example, inadequate in its description of emotional distress) that it's noticeable.

You do tend to tell rather than show, but there's plenty of time to pour on the sensory descriptions later in the story.

I hope at least some of this rambling nonsense has been useful. Good luck as this progresses. So far, I endorse this event or product.
