[The feed opens to the princess a great deal of the city would be familiar with at this point, smiling and waving to the camera.]

Hello, Vatheon. I hope everyone is feeling a little more themselves after last week? I had meant to do this sooner, but circumstances prevented it. I would like to introduce you all to my ancestor, Zelda.

[With that, she zooms the camera out a bit to show another girl, practically identical to her other than the fact that she has bangs.]

Hello, Vatheon! It’s nice to meet you.

[ The girl waves energetically to the camera. She has only been in the bubble for a few weeks, but she already feels at home with her new friends. It was cute seeing everyone running around as babies, too! But, like her descendant, she’s glad everyone’s back to normal as well. ]

I apologize if this is too confusing. We’re still trying to get used to it ourselves!

[The princess' smile grows sheepish.]

It is a bit confusing since we share a name and an appearance. To help differentiate, I will be wearing my tiara again. If anyone is ever speaking to both of us at the same time, please refer to me by title - "princess" - so as to minimize any confusion. Hyrule did not yet have a royal family in Zelda's time, so we will easily be able to know who you are referring to that way.

[ The newer Zelda nods. At least she’s finally gotten to the point where she stops visibly swooning whenever “Hyrule” is mentioned. (Hey, it’s been her dream to live on the Surface for a long time, okay.) ]

Or you can call me “Sky”, as some have already dubbed me. It doesn’t matter to me either way. If there’s anything I can do to make this easier, please- don’t hesitate to ask.

[Swooning is a legitimate reaction to have over Hyrule, First Zelda.]

Yes, by all means, if you have any questions for either of us, feel free to ask! We will be happy to answer.

[Shiro can't relate to something like that, but he does know the pain of living a long time after losing loved ones. The problem with being immortal...]

Oh I'm sure I will. Kuroh wouldn't leave me here alone. He's stubborn like that.

[ Zelda laughs. ]

That sounds familiar. I'm positive Link's on his way, too.

[ He probably just got sidetracked by a nap or something, that lazy boy! ]

[Considering the last thing Shiro remembers is attempting to track down the Colorless King in a plan that would more than likely end in his own demise later on (seeing as he had no other way to dispatch the evil king) he really can't imagine what would keep Kuroh waiting.

Aside from the forces that be simply taking their time with him.]

Waiting is always the hardest part. At least we get to make other friends while we're here?

[ Zelda nods. She's glad for that! The new people she's met have been the only things keeping her together. She's actually been fretting quite a lot. ]

That is very true. I've met so many wonderful people since my arrival. Everyone has been so helpful and accommodating... I am not sure where I would be without my new friends.

I'm glad to hear it. I understand this situation is upsetting to a lot of people so it has been great to see that everyone does try to help one another out.

It really is! Without the Princess's help, I might have had a lot more difficulty settling in.

[ A sheepish little giggle. ]

It... hasn't been all that easy thanks to all of this reincarnation business. The actual concepts of time travel and traversing dimensions aren't all that difficult to grasp, but I never imagined I would ever meet anyone like her.

I'm still trying to get used to it.

Well... time will certainly help that, and from the sounds of it a lot of us aren't going home any time soon.

I'm sure you'll be alright in time.
