Having a long term Stasis effect placed unto your body really took its toll. Everyday people would get older, their skin would wrinkle and their eyes would lose their glow until one day, they die. You, however, stayed the young and beautiful Hylian Princess (Y/N). You still looked as young and healthy as you did 75 years ago.
Yes, 75 years. Robbie's calculations were incorrect; Link's wounds were so bad, that he needed much longer than the trio of the Sheikah intended.
Gradually, Hyrule recovered from the damage Calamity Ganon had caused upon its return. The dark entity could still be seen looming over Hyrule Castle, regaining its lost power as time went on, and slowly becoming stronger.
Life had gotten quite lonely without your friends, The Champions, beside you. You especially missed Urbosa. Though you two had not known each other for very long, you two got along perfectly, much like her and Zelda did. Urbosa always called you and your sister 'Little Bird', which brought a familiar comfort to you.
The people of Hyrule hadn't long found out about your existence. You did not know why, or how, they found out about you, but you were definitely not treated like royalty. Whenever you left Kakariko Village (which had now become your home, and safest place to be) dirty looks and insults were thrown at you. You became known as 'Banphrionsa an Tubaiste'*. Impa told you to ignore their words, but it was true. You hadn't tried to do anything to save the people of Hyrule. Your people.
You hadn't even seen Zelda since they took you and Link from her. Link. You wondered how he was doing. Surely his wounds were almost healed, right? They had to be; Ganon's power could reawaken at any moment. Time was precious, and there wasn't much left.

*Banphrionsa an Tubaiste means 'Princess Of The Disaster' in Irish! 'Tubaiste' could also mean Calamity, but I liked the sound of disaster instead.
If you hadn't guess, yes, I'm Irish XD
Hope you had a fantastic Christmas, Hylians!
Have a great new year!
