Tales of Hyrule: Love Stories Through the Ages – Mipha’s Journal, the Lost Pages

In what free time I’ve had, I have been busy completing the armor for my dear friend. I hope to the Goddess that Link is pleased. I hope that the blue I chose will remind him of Zora’s Domain, and I hope that the adornments and gemstones remind him of me.

Though, I cannot allow myself to get too caught up in my emotions that I do not do a good job. This is for Link, after all.

I have placed much thought into each stitch, and I cannot shake the traditions of my people and of all of the princesses before me. Will Link reciprocate my feelings? Will he fall silent at my gift?

Am I truly enough for the man chosen by the Sword that Seals the Darkness?

I must bury these worries deep within my heart; I shall not let doubt cloud my mind. There is work to be done.

I have been placing the finishing touches on the armor for Link. As tradition goes, I have included my own scales. I am amazed at the lightness of the fabric; it will be perfect for swimming with Sidon!

My heart has become more and more hopeful the closer I get to finishing. Will Link notice that I included pieces similar to my tiara?

I hope that my measurements were correct, but… That is not my biggest fear.

I have been wondering what Father will say about my gift to Link.

Does he approve of a Hylian?

What will I do, if he does not?

No. I cannot think like that. My heart tells me this is right, and I must follow its words. Regardless of Father’s approval, I must help Link. I have prayed to the Goddess, to the Zora Princesses of our past, for strength through these feelings. I can deny it no longer. My heart is true.
