[ A tyrant who has ruled the kingdom since his betrayal and murder of the King seven years ago... Zelda stares unseeing into the distance over Sheik's shoulder as she tries to dig into the muddled memories of Hyrule during her decades inside the seal. Her power has allowed her glimpses of the kingdom and its people while she exists in a state of semi-sleep maintaining the seal. It's like trying to call back memories from a dream—the fragmented images are unclear, sometimes indecipherable.

But during her decades inside the seal, she has observed no such occurrence like the one Sheik is describing. Even setting aside "murder and betrayal of the King," Hyrule's government collapsed entirely after the Great Calamity. The vast majority of Hylians in power died that day, and no figures from the other clans rose up to fill the power vacuum (least of all, the Gerudo). As the surviving Hyruleans settled in the furthest reaches of the kingdom, no centralized government reemerged. And Zelda's muddled observations line up with how Link has described the kingdom.

Zelda returns her attention to Sheik and shakes her head. ]

I know of no such figure. Nor do I know of anyone who has ruled the kingdom since its downfall.

[ Her gaze flicks to Sheik's eyes. This whole "Ganondorf Dragmire" business sounds nonsensical, and yet it's the thing that Sheik keeps bringing up. But Zelda has never heard of a "king" of the Gerudo. Only women are born to the tribe and its leader fashions herself as "chief," not "king." ]

Nor do I know any "King" of the Gerudo. Before the Calamity, they were lead by Chief Urbosa.
