Thank you SO SO SO much all of you and especially to LoquaciousLK for helping me bring this whole idea to life. We’ve been working on this for over a year now and it’s been a wild ride to say the least.

Lullaby for a hero follows the emotional journey Zelda goes through thanks to Link. The song was redone to fit both the context of the story and the relationship that Link and Zelda have (which is more romantic in my opinion, but here it’s mostly up to interpretation! We respect all head-canons here! 💚) a little better.

Please give the links below a look! Down there we have our socials including my Ko-Fi. I’m looking to save up for Adult Stuff™️ (College, moving out, etc.) so any donations would be a huge help in getting me ready to do that!

Cover of Lullaby For A Princess by Ponyphonic

Lyrics:
Din has been cruel and Nayru unkind
Farore has locked you away
The blame was my own, the punishment, yours
Hylia is silent today
But into the stillness I'll bring you a song
And I will your company keep
'Till your tired eyes and my lullabies
Have carried you softly to sleep

Once did a Princess who shone like the sun
Look out on her kingdom and sigh
She cried and she said, "Surely, there is no Princess
unlucky and so doomed to failure as I"
So great was her task, with weight on her shoulders
That long was the shadow he cast
Which fell dark upon the young hero she loved
And grew only darker as days and nights passed

Lullay The Champions, goodnight hero mine
Rest now in moonlight's embrace
Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space
Carry the peace and the coolness of night
And carry my sorrow in kind
Link, you are loved so much more than you know
Forgive me for being so blind

Soon did that Princess take notice that others
Did not give her equal his due
And neither had she loved him as he deserved
She watched as the signs of impending doom grew

But such is the way of the limelight, it sweetly
Takes hold of the mind of its host
And that foolish Princess did nothing to stop
The destruction of those who had needed her most

Lullay The Champions, goodnight hero mine
Rest now in moonlight's embrace
Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth
Through cloud, and through sky, and through space
Carry the peace and the coolness of night
And carry my sorrow in kind
Link, you are loved so much more than you know
May troubles be far from your mind
And forgive me for being so blind

[INSTRUMENTAL]

The years now before us
Fearful and unknown
I never imagined
I'd face them on my own
May these hundred winters
Swiftly pass, I pray
I love you, I miss you
All these miles away

May all your dreams be sweet tonight
Safe upon your bed of healing light
And know not of sadness, pain, or care
And when I dream, I'll fly away and meet you there
Sleep
Sleep
Sleep
