Zelda paused, looking down at the dark version of the Hero of Time. Her stomach dropped and she had to stopped herself for a moment thinking that he might have returned to them. But she knew in her mind that she had given him back his childhood, though at this point she was unsure whether that was the best idea or not. Her eyes focused on the stranger, his face familiar but he was definitely not the Hero of Time. 

Stepping down the steps towards him, the guards moved to intervene but she waved a hand to stay them. "What do you mean?" She asked, standing in front of him, she was not enjoying how similar he looked to Link. She had cared very much for that man but this one just stole his appearance. His voice however, the tenor of it was too low for him. There were distinct differences, but there were also so many things similar. 

"Princess do not listen to that man, he is darkness himself." One of the council men spoke up, stepping down from his seat looking at Dark Link. "He has to be a creation of Ganondorf!"

She glanced at the council man, "What clued you in? This is another reason that makes me know that someone is trying to get to Ganondorf." She put a hand on her hip, before turning back to Dark Link, guards behind her were ready to swoop in if something were to happen. "What information do you have? Speak up."
