"Being Zelda?" [ Zelda repeats stupidly as she finds herself being lead back towards town by her precocious counterpart. (Will there ever come a time when the princess isn't on the backfoot with Zelda of Skyloft?) ]

It's... [ An impossible question to answer, so broad that Zelda doesn't even know where to start. Is the other Zelda asking what it's like to be a princess—(Sheik did say that she didn't call herself one)—? Or what it's like to be Hyrulean—(Sheik said she only knows Hyrule as "the Surface")—? Or is the question more philosophical, the kind of thing a bard would be better to answer?

Each second that the princess spends thinking is a second for her counterpart to needle her for an answer, so she decides to simply go with the first thing that comes to her mind. ]

It is lovely, I think... being Zelda. I didn't much care for it when I was younger; it is a lot of responsibility, you know, and I was not very good at it. But after I figured it out—after the Calamity and everything—I started liking it.

[ "And I'm going to miss it." But she stops short of saying so. Instead, she offers an apologetic laugh: ] I suppose that isn't a very clear answer.
