I don't know what in the world is going on, but I wish it would stop.

Perhaps I really am a fool.

It is humiliating to be provoked by such words, but I...

They are entirely correct.

Coward. I hid for seven years. I waited. I depended on Link to the point that I convinced myself I could not take a stand for myself. I

Private to Zelda

Princess...there's something I ought to tell you.

When I saw that post, that paragraph....at first I thought he was talking about me.

We're in almost the same situation, your highness. I too was stripped of my own throne. I was cursed with this hidous body and banished from the palace. I was so ashamed that I ran away. I abandoned my people.

If either of us is a coward, I am she.

Midna...thank you for your sympathy.

I cannot shake those words, though. He is right - I let Ganondorf take over by force. There are so many things I could have done, so many people I could have asked for assistance, and instead I waited on a boy that might or might not have come. Capable as I was of fighting him, I did not...I waited for Link to awaken. I waited for him to fight, because I was afraid that I could not win.

But in the end, you won, didn't you?

My battle is still being fought.

No. I thought we did, and yet...he remains here.

That is still further than myself.

Midna...I do enjoy you, but this is not a contest to decide whose life is worse.

I never said it was. I am merely stating that you have nothing to be ashamed of. You won your battle, even if another has started. I have not even fought mine.

Hiding and falling back on others is not weakness if it helps you come back to win.

No, one never does say it outright.

I agree with that. Nonetheless, allowing -no, more than that, demanding- someone else to fight those battles for me was rather shameful. There were other solutions. I was too cowardly to utilise them.
