Zelda pauses for a moment, wondering how best to explain it. "It's a sword - it's known as the Master Sword." She laces her fingers together in front of herself, shaking her head slightly. "It was in my keeping before I came here, and I will need it when I return to my world. It's the key to defeating a very dangerous enemy."

She won't be the one to defeat the Demon King. But she can put the pieces in place for Link to do so.

"Ah, the arcade!" That's familiar at least. "I haven't met him in person, but I think I have seen him on the network? He sounds nice."

Her smile is tinged with understanding. To have a home away from home is something she now understands, after landing in the ancient past of her own world.

"Mm, I see. I'm glad to hear you were able to reunite with people you know."
