Fi goes on to accompany Link in his travels throughout the game, designating him to be her master as the wielder of the Goddess Sword and pledging her eternal guidance and loyalty to him. Because she was programmed with a wealth of knowledge and information, she is able to provide Link with detailed analyses of enemies, items, and areas he comes across in his journey. She also teaches him important techniques such as the [[Skyward Strike]] and how to [[Dowsing|dowse]] for certain characters and items, and translates divine messages to be relayed to Link. As the game advances, Link is required to empower his blade by imbuing it with three [[Sacred Flames]], which together transform Fi's dwelling into the legendary [[Master Sword]]. | Fi goes on to accompany Link in his travels throughout the game, designating him to be her master as the wielder of the Goddess Sword and pledging her eternal guidance and loyalty to him.

Fi retains a very icy and stoic demeanor throughout the game, owing to her innate inability to feel emotion, and frequently presents information to Link in the form of percentages, calculations, and variables. This also leads her to be very forward and blunt in her analyses of other characters, and she is not above treating even Link with some snide early on in his adventure. The two of them gradually grow closer as the story advances, however, and Fi confesses near the end of the game that she has come to cherish the time they've spent together. Also among her attributes are a propensity for singing, as her vocals accompany Link on the [[Goddess Harp]] when activating [[Trial Gate]]s, and dancing, as she does when translating messages at the [[Skyview Spring|Skyview]] and [[Earth Spring]]s and the [[Isle of Songs]]. | Fi retains a very icy and stoic demeanor throughout the game, owing to her innate inability to feel emotion, and frequently presents information to Link in the form of percentages, calculations, and variables.

Following the successful defeat of [[Demise]], Fi is able to absorb the demon king's remains into the Master Sword, ensuring they remain sealed there with no hope of escape. With the journey at its end and Zelda and Link reunited, Fi requests that Link bring their mission to an end by planting the Master Sword in its pedestal in the [[Sealed Temple|Temple of Hylia]], at which point Fi will retreat into an endless sleep within the blade, despite Link's objections. In her final moments, Fi reassures Link by claiming to feel happiness as she reflects on the time they've spent together, and bids him a grateful farewell in the hope that they may meet in another life. | Following the successful defeat of [[Demise]], Fi is able to absorb the demon king's remains into the Master Sword, ensuring they remain sealed there with no hope of escape.

* Despite being attuned to the feelings of attraction Link holds toward other characters, such as Zelda and [[Peatrice]], Fi does not seem aware that [[Scrapper]] holds these same feelings for her, as she acknowledges his attempts to gain her approval with only a casual disinterest. | * Despite being attuned to the feelings of attraction Link holds toward other characters, such as Zelda and [[Peatrice]], Fi does not seem aware that [[Scrapper]] holds these same feelings for her, as she acknowledges his attempts to gain her approval with only a casual disinterest. | ||
* According to developers' notes shown in ''[[Hyrule Historia]]'', Fi is meant to appear between 13 and 14 years old despite her immeasurable actual age.

** In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', Zelda points to the Master Sword itself as the one that sealed Link in the [[Sacred Realm]] for seven years, suggesting Fi did not view the younger Link as capable of fulfilling the role of the Hero of Time.

*** This voice, signified by Fi's signature chime, is able to communicate telepathically with Zelda, as chronicled in Link's memory of when he was nearly killed during the [[Great Calamity]]. Fi was the one to advise that Link be taken to the [[Shrine of Resurrection]] to recuperate and that Zelda keep Ganon contained until he was ready to face him. | *** This voice, signified by Fi's signature chime, is able to communicate telepathically with Zelda, as chronicled in Link's memory of when he was nearly killed during the [[Great Calamity]].
