The Tragedy of Hyrule

"I died," Said Link, staring at Zelda, "and nobody noticed."

"I died," Continued Impa, her eyes glassy and unseeing, "and nobody cared."

"How did this happen?" Sobbed Zelda, "When did you meet your despair?"

"We fought demons and malice," Rasped Link, "atop Ganon's palace."

"We fell and broke our necks in shame," Growled Impa, "But, why do you care?"

"So many deaths happened under your reign!" Roared the two.

Zelda bolted up in her bed, finding herself in Hateno, with Link rearranging the dishes. As if called, Link appeared at her side, a dish still in his hand.

It wasn't real.

So why was she so afraid?
