[Though it's raining on her birthday, Zelda is not particularly upset. She's quite pleased, in fact, because it gives her a chance to experiment with some of her barrier magic.

A descendant...? [He stares at North, then at the Deity, and then back at North, his expression showing that he clearly thinks that question is pretty stupid.]
No. He's... a... [Thing inside my head and that's how I know him. A mask. A spirit that seals itself in a mask and I wear it later from his point of view. A god. A fierce deity. A...]
... Friend of mine.

Princess, Link... Just let me know if I can do anything.

Thank you for coming to my aid. [She looks at Med'an, North, and Sebastian each in turn with a smile and a nod of her head.]
