There were many versions of The Animal of Sidon, and the unadapted version might be:
1 The Xerofactor
2. The Cat in the Hat: Although this version also has an adapted storyline, its original author is HP Lovecraft, not Carl Aldern Rex.
3 The Secret Life of Walter Mitty: This version also has an adapted storyline, but the original author is George Orwell.
It should be noted that there may be some differences between these versions, so it is impossible to determine which version is the absolute original version and the version without adaptation.

One approach is to create situations where they rely on each other. Maybe there's a dark magic that is affecting both the elven land and the Zora domain. They have to work together to find the source and stop it. During this time, they see each other's determination and courage. Also, have them communicate their feelings honestly. If the sun elf is feeling homesick, Sidon could comfort her, and this vulnerability would bring them closer.
One plot idea could be that the female sun elf is a healer who comes to Hyrule to study its unique flora for medicinal purposes. She meets Prince Sidon during an event where he is injured. She heals him, and from there, a friendship forms that gradually turns into a romantic relationship as they discover each other's cultures. For example, she could teach him about elven magic, and he could show her the secrets of Zora domain.
Sidon and Shen Shixi were both well-known animal novelists. Their animal novels had different styles and characteristics.
Seaton's novels focused on the inner world and emotional expression of animals. His animal novels often explored the impact of human nature, society, and human behavior on animals. Seaton's animal novels were full of imagination and magical colors. Many animals had unique personalities and behaviors. His novels had complicated plots and vivid characters. The readers could deeply feel the emotional and psychological changes of animals.
Shen Shixi's animal novels paid more attention to the physiological and behavior characteristics of animals. His novels focused on the living habits and behavior patterns of animals. Shen Shixi's animal novels used real animals as the background and presented the true appearance and inner world of animals through the description of their living habits. Shen Shixi's animal novels were relatively simple, but the text was smooth and easy to read and understand.
The two readers can choose according to their preferences.
Although Shen Shixi's animal novel was many times better than Animal of Sidon, it still faced some challenges that caused it to be unknown.
1. The market demand is insufficient. Although Shen Shixi's animal novels were very popular, the number of these novels was relatively small and it was difficult to meet the market demand. In contrast, novels such as Animal of Seton were already widely used and had a large readership, making it easier for them to achieve commercial success.
2. Different audiences. Shen Shixi's animal novels were mainly aimed at young readers, while novels such as The Animal of Sidon were aimed at adult readers. Teenage readers tend to prefer romance, fantasy, and adventure stories, which are lacking in Shen Shixi's animal novels.
3. The writing style is not suitable for the public. Shen Shixi's animal novels usually had a unique writing style and storyline. These elements might not be suitable for the public's taste. In contrast, the writing style of novels such as The Animal of Seton was closer to the public's taste and easier for readers to accept.
4. insufficient publicity. Although Shen Shixi's animal novels were very popular, their publicity was relatively small, making it difficult for more people to know and support her works.
Shen Shixi's animal novels had their own unique advantages in terms of writing quality and market demand, but they still faced some challenges that led to their obscurity. In order to increase their popularity and influence, they needed to strengthen their publicity and expand their audience.
