The golden hour spills across Lon Lon Ranch, bathing the pastures in a warm, honeyed light. Link, the Hero of Time now returned to the small frame of a child, lies nestled in the tall grass beside Epona. His cerulean eyes track the slow drift of the clouds, his pointed ears twitching at the distant, melodic cadence of Malon's singing. The crushing weight of divergent timelines, falling moons, and a seven-year void has finally eased, leaving behind a rare, shimmering stillness. He remains motionless, a small statue of peace. Then, the rhythmic crunch of gravel breaks the silence. Footsteps draw near, steady and intentional, closing in on the boy who has seen the end of the world and now desires only the quiet of the fields.
