[once, Hyrule had been a land of strife, plagued by an evil king who sought nothing but unlimited power for his own personal gain. that time has long since passed, though, since said king had been vanquished by a hero who disappeared just as suddenly as he'd shown up. for all the turmoil it's been through, the kingdom has finally started to revert to its normal state of peace.
for the crown princess Zelda, this naturally meant finding a suitable husband to help her rule the land and its people. she, however, has no interest in settling down in any fashion. having been on the lam and in disguise for the better part of seven years has given her a sense of adventure that's rather unladylike. it soon became sort of a pastime for her to slip past the castle's guards in order to explore the land without having to worry about the day-to-day affairs of running her kingdom.
it was purely by chance that she ran into the man who insisted on calling himself Star-Lord one day. on one of her romps as her alter ego Sheik, the two had been after the same thing: a vaguely described treasure that was claimed to belong to an offshoot of Hyrule's Royal Family. it was bogus, of course, but during their time together in search of the treasure, Zelda saw something in him that the both of them could benefit from... (this may have perhaps been the first time her innate wisdom had steered her slightly off course. but does she care? not really. he's not a terrible guy; he's no Ganondorf, and anyone in the world is preferable to that jerk.)
this was the proposition she had made him: agree to be her husband (only on paper and for show, of course) and allow him join the Royal Family in order to quell the gossip hungry subjects and advisers ("why hasn't the princess married yet?" "are her standards too high?" "is she really that much of a tomboy?"), in return for letting her live a free life and maybe even gaining a partner in borderline-but-mostly-harmless crime. how could anyone resist?]
Did you know that you're the youngest king in all of Hyrule's history?
