====Early years====
Zelda appears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', once again as the princess of [[Hyrule#Breath of the Wild|Hyrule]]. From a young age, Zelda was scholarly and interested in research. This eventually transformed into a passion with the discovery of the [[Guardian (Breath of the Wild)|Guardians]] and the [[Divine Beast]]s early in her life. After her mother died when Zelda was six years old, the duty fell upon the princess to discover the power of the Goddess [[Hylia]] that slept within her. This proved to be difficult, however, for varying reasons. Zelda was often more interested in discovering the secrets of the ancient [[Sheikah]] technology found throughout Hyrule; and the "sealing power" eludes her, much to the the displeasure of her father, [[King Rhoam|King Rhoam Bosphoramus Hyrule]]. For some time, she took the frustrations of this out on her designated protector, the Hylian Champion [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]], that Link's path as the chosen hero was of relative ease - but she began to warm up to him after he saved her life from a [[Yiga Clan]] attack in [[Kara Kara Bazaar]].

From a young age, Zelda was scholarly and interested in research.

After her mother died when Zelda was six years old, the duty fell upon the princess to discover the power of the Goddess [[Hylia]] that slept within her. This proved to be difficult, however, for varying reasons. Zelda was often more interested in discovering the secrets of the ancient [[Sheikah]] technology, from the Guardians, to the Divine Beasts, and the [[Shrine of Trials]] that were scattered all over Hyrule. One day, the [[Rhoam Bosphoramus Hyrule|King]] confronted her about wasting her time on the Sheikah technology when she should have been using it to awaken her power. After this moment, Zelda becomes more hopeless and spent all of her time praying to the Goddesses.
 
====Link====
 
Furthermore, Zelda's power did not awaken easily, regardless of the steps she took to do so. With each passing day, she became increasingly frustrated with her inability to prevent the impending doom of [[Calamity Ganon|Calamity Ganon's]] return. This frustration was also fueled by her relationship with [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]]. After Link was chosen to wield the [[Master Sword#Breath of the Wild|Master Sword]], and was appointed as Zelda's protector by the King himself, Zelda believed that Link's path as the chosen hero was of relative ease. Compared to the continual failures in fulfilling her role, Link always achieved anything he set his mind to. Early on their relationship, Zelda often told Link that she did not need his protection, and that she preferred to be left alone to continue her research.
 
After Link bravely defended Zelda from the [[Yiga Clan]] in the [[Gerudo Desert (Breath of the Wild)|Gerudo Desert]], she began to open up to Link. Zelda realized that Link struggled with his role as well, in that all of Hyrule was watching him and expecting him to be the fearless hero that would defeat Ganon when he returned. After this revelation Zelda started to appreciated Link's presence and company, realizing that the two weren't so different after all.

====Calamity Ganon's return====


When Calamity Ganon finally returned, Zelda still had not awoken the power deep inside her. The plans she created as the leader of the [[Champion]]s began to rapidly unravel. All four Champions, many of Hyrule's residents, and her father died soon after Ganon's takeover. Ganon took control of the Divine Beasts and Guardians and used them to annihilate [[Central Hyrule]]. With nowhere left to turn, Zelda was on the run with Link, trying to recover any ground they could. The two were heavily outmatched, however, and were trapped by a [[Guardian Stalker]] on [[Blatchery Plain]] in [[West Necluda]]. With his last breaths, Link, still trying to protect Zelda, confronted the Guardian. Zelda however, managed to find the courage to confront the Guardian herself and protect Link in the face of evil. By doing so she finally unlocked her power and used it to destroy many Guardians within the nearby area.

All was not well though, as Link soon collapsed to the ground and died in Zelda's arms. When she had finally lost all hope, the Master Sword began to glow with a blue aura and spoke to the Princess. The voice speaking to her was [[Fi]], who indicated that Link could still be saved if he was taken to the [[Shrine of Resurrection]]. After Link began his slumber, Zelda traveled to the [[Korok Forest]] and placed the Master Sword in its pedestal to wait for its master to return in one hundred years. She then made her way back to Hyrule Castle, and used her newfound power to contain Ganon until Link's return.

====Saving Hyrule====


Once one hundred years had passed, Link was awoken by Zelda's voice in the Shrine of Resurrection. She informed Link that her power to contain Ganon within the Castle was weakening, and soon she would no longer be able to contain the evil. After the King's spirit informed Link of how to approach the new world, Zelda watched over Link as he wrested the Divine Beasts from Ganon's control. Combined with the power of these beasts and the Master Sword, Link returned to Hyrule Castle as Zelda's power finally gave way and Ganon broke free of his prison.

Upon defeating Calamity Ganon's initial form, Ganon transformed into Dark Beast Ganon in a field in front of Hyrule Castle. To combat this pure form of malice and evil, Zelda presented Link with the [[Bow of Light]]. With Zelda's help to contain the Beast, Link used the Bow of Light to weaken Ganon as much as possible. Zelda then sealed Ganon away, allowing Link and Zelda to finally fulfill their roles in Hyrule's destiny.

When [[Terrako]] wakes up when Zelda is sealing Calamity Ganon during the [[Great Calamity]], the diminutive [[Guardian (Breath of the Wild)|Guardian]] opens a portal to the past to attempt to save her. In doing so, it creates an alternate timeline, where Zelda and the other Champions ultimately prevent the Great Calamity from coming to pass, with the aid of various others including Champion descendants from the future.
