''ugh...I'm tired... let me sleep..." I groaned, rolling over onto the pillows in a hopeless attempt to muffle the sound.

"I'M AWAKE, OK!?" I finally rolled out of bed, then I shivered when my bare feet touched the floor. 'and that's how you know it's winter.' I thought to myself, letting out another hollow groan.

I shrugged it off, assuming a bird or some kind of animal really liked my window.

When I was walking back to the castle, I bumped into Impa- Hyrule's military commanding officer- and was greeted by some grave news... Hyrule is under attack, but this time, there's no kokori warrior to save it...
