[ On Christmas morning, Link will find a neatly wrapped gift waiting for him on the kitchen table. A letter is attached, written in Zelda's pristine cursive handwriting.
Wouldn't it make more sense to give it to him in person? Zelda agonized over this decision all week. ]
Dear Link,
Do you think it strange to celebrate Goddess Day here, even though no one else does? I suppose there is Christmas, but it isn't quite the same. Last year, I gave gifts to my friends here in Reverein in honor of the Goddess. Perhaps it was silly of me, but it didn't feel right not to.
I hope you enjoy this gift. I'm sure you were looking forward to another Goddess devotional candle. So sorry to disappoint.
May the Goddess smile upon you, Zelda
[ Inside the box is, thankfully, not another of the same Goddess devotional candle that Zelda has given Link out of obligation on previous Goddess Days. It's actually a recipe book! The pages are filled with recipes shared by other dreamwalkers, most of which have been transcribed by Zelda in her familiar neat penmanship (although more than a few are written in Alastor's hand). The complexity (and, frankly, overall quality) of the recipes differ throughout the book. It doesn't seem like Zelda vetted the edibility of some of these recipes... If nothing else, it's an adventurous collection of recipes. There are also plenty of blank pages in the back for more recipes to be added later. ]
