It is I, Princess Hilda. I wanted to warn you about the kingdom in which you've found yourself. My Lorule may remind you of your own home. But, in fact, our kingdoms are as different as night and day. Worlds apart, as they say. But Yuga's scheme has forced our two kingdoms close together. So close, they are now connected.|Hilda}} Additionally, parts of Lorule have crumbled away, so she instructs Link to first find a way back into Hyrule and then return through a different location.{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]''|What's more, the Seven Sages you seek are spread across my land, locked away in dungeons. But because parts of Lorule have long crumbled away, you cannot get to them from where you now are. To reach them, you must first find a way back to Hyrule. From various parts of your world, you can reach the same parts of mine.|Hilda}} Hilda warns Link to be careful and then says goodbye.{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]''|Now, one more thing.
