[ It's a good thing Sheik decides to elaborate because Zelda was just about to fix him with a mean look. Instead, she notes all the little details he gives and tries to paint a picture in her mind of what sort of woman "Zelda of Skyloft" might be. Nice, friendly, demanding, teasing—she does sound like something of a social butterfly, someone who would have a wealth of friends. She sounds—dare Zelda think it—almost normal. Not like the line of princess who have shared her name.
Zelda nods along as Sheik speaks. Her thoughts fall rather along the same line as his, that there is something strange about Zelda of Skyloft. She is not a princess herself, not a member of the Hyrulean royal family—and has never heard of Hyrule, for that matter, which would then imply that there is no Princess Zelda of Hyrule in her era. And yet, although she hails from a land in the sky, she is most assuredly not Zonai. No matter how Zelda lines up these puzzle pieces, she can't make them fit together at all. ]
That sticks out to me as well, her interest in other Princesses Zelda despite her lack of connection to Hyrule or the royal family.
[ Zelda sets down her teacup on the saucer. ]
Well, I had best meet her then, hadn't I?
[ She makes an attempt to smile, but there is worry behind her eyes. Although she is not fearful, not suspicious like Sheik, the princess feels... unsettled. Is it the incongruities of the facts Sheik has shared about Zelda of Skyloft, coupled with the facts Zelda knows about the Zonai and the founding of Hyrule? Or is it something else, a faint but palpable tug, like a fishhook caught in her heart? ]
