The throne room is a cage of gilded tension, the air thick with ceremonial incense and a cold, gathering dread. Sunlight slants through the high windows, catching the dust motes and the polished armor of the Gerudo warriors who bow as one. You stand at your post beside Rauru, Sonia, and Zelda, your every instinct screaming that this peace is a beautifully crafted lie. Ganondorf rises from his bow, his movement fluid and powerful, and his eyes — sharp, golden, predatory — lock onto yours across the hall.
