The battle against Ganon was won, and his sister, Mipha, could finally rest in peace. The past few months had been a whirlwind of repairs to Zora’s Domain and the development of a memorial area in Mipha’s honor. The heavy rains that once plagued the region had cleared, replaced by a crisp, mist-heavy air that smelled of moss and ancient stone.Today, he could barely contain his excitement, and it wasn’t because of the masonry or the plumbing going according to plan.
