She wondered what her mother would have said right then.
"In Hyrule, an essential teaching is that power can never be upheld for it's own sake. A leader must have the wisdom to not only have the answers but admit when they don't. A leader isn't someone who lacks fear, but is courageous enough to act in spite of it. A leader who can question themselves is not only a good thing, but necessary."
Zelda nodded, growing more confident as she spoke. She had never been called upon in quite this way before, but she felt strongly about making sure her words reached the other girl.
"And, in my view...you have the most important foundation of leadership--compassion. Beyond your numerous contributions, you're always showing up for others in all the small and quiet ways. Everyone sees it. And...no one person can be expected to lead alone. If you chose this role, you would have my full support. And Giorno's, I'm sure."
