Well... Zelda was the crown princess. It would make sense that they could defer to her when there was no other options available (because Zelda knew a lot and Link trusted her judgement even if the results were startling and uhappy) but the way the other Link talked about it didn't quite line up with this Link's point of view. What a strange leap though, to go from a mention of Gods to talking about the princess.

Hm.

At least the confusion was written clearly on Link's face? The difference in time and the effect it has had on Hyrule, it's Hero and it's Princess was quickly becoming apparent.
