The Royal Princess of Hyrule, Zelda is a sign of hope to the people of Hyrule. She has vivid dreams which allow her to foresee evil in the distance. Zelda sends her royal nurse Impa to the land of Labrynna in order to find Nayru, the Oracle of Ages, and bring her back to safety in Hyrule. However, Impa never quite completed that journey as planned and the evil power of Veran took control of Impa, and eventually the Oracle of Ages herself. | The Royal Princess of Hyrule, Zelda is a sign of hope to the people of Hyrule.

After Link battles through time and defeats Veran, it is revealed the Veran is just a pawn in a grander scheme to resurrect the evil king Ganon. In order to do so, three flames must be lit, the Flame of Destruction and the Flame of Sorrow had both been lit when Link defeated General Onox in ''Oracle of Seasons'' and Veran in ''Oracle of Ages'', but the third flame had not been lit yet. Twinrova captured Princess Zelda with the intent of sacrificing her body and light the Flame of Despair and complete the resurrection of Ganon. Fortunately, Link was able to prevent this, and rescue Princess Zelda. Instead, Twinrova sacrificed themselves in order to resurrect Ganon, but it did not go as plan, and Ganon was just a mindless beast who Link would feat once and for all. | After Link battles through time and defeats Veran, it is revealed the Veran is just a pawn in a grander scheme to resurrect the evil king Ganon.

[[File:FSA-Princess-Zelda.png|200px|right]] In ''Four Swords Adventures'', Princess Zelda uses her telepathy to call her friend [[Link]] and ask him to come to [[Hyrule Castle]]. Link joins Zelda and the [[Shrine Maidens]] to investigate the seal on [[Vaati]] at the [[Four Sword Sanctuary]], due to the ominous clouds and darkness covering [[Hyrule]]. Before they can reach the Four Sword Sanctuary, [[Shadow Link]] appears and imprisons Zelda and the Maidens. Link gives chase to the Four Sword Sanctuary, where he draws the [[Four Sword]], splitting himself into four and releasing the seal on the Wind Mage Vaati. | [[File:FSA-Princess-Zelda.png|200px|right]] In ''Four Swords Adventures'', Princess Zelda uses her telepathy to call her friend [[Link]] and ask him to come to [[Hyrule Castle]].

After being sent to a remote area of Hyrule, the Links search the land for the Maidens and Princess Zelda. They eventually find Princess Zelda inside the [[Tower of Winds (Four Swords Adventures)|Tower of Winds]] and continue to the [[Realm of the Heavens]]. Once the Links find the [[Dark Mirror]], they are powerless to stop it from endlessly producing Shadow Links.

Once the Links defeat Vaati, the Tower of Winds begins to collapse, forcing Link and Zelda to retreat to safety. During this phase, Zelda must be protected and certain puzzles must be solved to allow her to progress. Upon nearing the exit of the Tower, the floor begins to collapse, sending the Links and Zelda deep beneath the Tower. | Once the Links defeat Vaati, the Tower of Winds begins to collapse, forcing Link and Zelda to retreat to safety.

While the four Links are incapacitated, Zelda attempts to seal away [[Ganon]] herself, but is imprisoned once again. The four Links wake up and fight Ganon together, and eventually weaken him enough to break the seal on Zelda. The Links must then protect Zelda from Ganon's attacks while she creates a ball of light intended to paralyze Ganon. Once the ball of light is ready, the Links then shoot a [[Light Arrow]] through it and into Ganon, stunning him momentarily. Princess Zelda and the Maidens proceed to seal Ganon away within the Four Sword, defeating Ganon and restoring peace to Hyrule. | While the four Links are incapacitated, Zelda attempts to seal away [[Ganon]] herself, but is imprisoned once again.

Zelda is Link's childhood friend. At the beginning of the game, Zelda takes Link to the [[Picori Festival]]. She takes part in a lottery competition and wins first prize. Although there were many fine prizes, Zelda chooses a [[shield]] and gives it to Link. However, when celebrating the winner of the sword competition that was held, the winner turns out to be the evil Wind Mage [[Vaati]] and he turns Zelda to stone. Thus Link sets out on a quest to find a way to save Zelda. | Zelda is Link's childhood friend. At the beginning of the game, Zelda takes Link to the [[Picori Festival]].

Vaati was, in fact, searching after the mystic [[Light Force]]. After the [[Picori Blade]] has been forged into the [[Four Sword]], Link discovers that the Light Force actually resides inside Zelda herself. Vaati had followed Link, and starts to drain the Light Force from Zelda. Link, of course, manages to save Zelda just in time and they try to flee from [[Dark Hyrule Castle]] where she was held. But Vaati had absorbed enough power to transform into a monster and tries to kill them. Link seals Vaati away and his cap, which is, in fact, a very powerful cap that is able to grant wishes, falls off. [[Ezlo]], a cursed picori who helped Link on his quest, gives the cap to Zelda. Zelda makes her wish, and with her pure heart, the entirety of Hyrule is purged of all the trouble that Vaati caused. | Vaati was, in fact, searching after the mystic [[Light Force]].

After Link retrieves the three [[Fused Shadow]]s for Midna, Zant appears and casts a curse on Link which prevents him from returning to Hylian form when not in Twilight. After Midna refuses to assist Zant in conquering the world of light, he mortally wounds her by exposing her to light. Immediately after this, the [[Light Spirit]] [[Lanayru (Light Spirit)|Lanayru]] transports Link and Midna from Zant's presence, and the injured Minda tells Link to hurry to Princess Zelda. | After Link retrieves the three [[Fused Shadow]]s for Midna, Zant appears and casts a curse on Link which prevents him from returning to Hylian form when not in Twilight.

After reaching Zelda, Midna pleads with Zelda to help break the new curse on Link and tells her that he is needed to save the world of light. Zelda informs Link and Midna that the curse on Link was caused by an evil power which can only be cleaved by the sacred blade of evil's bane, the [[Master Sword]].

Upon their quest, the Spirit Tracks that they are riding on suddenly disappear. [[Chancellor Cole]] steals Zelda's body with the intent of using it to resurrect [[Malladus]]. Even though Cole seemingly killed Zelda she is not completely dead, as Princess Zelda's spirit has been separated from her body and only Link can see her. However, even though she doesn't have a body, Zelda is more useful on this quest than ever before. While in the [[Tower of Spirits]], she can inhabit the body of a [[Phantom]], allowing the player to control her. Her armor and strength are essential for traversing the tower. For example, in areas with pools of lava, Link will need to hitch a ride on Zelda (in Phantom form)'s shield, as Zelda's armor is immune to the lava, while Link's suit is vulnerable to it. She becomes a great help to Link on his quest. Zelda and Link work with one another to solve puzzles, defeat enemies, and rebuild the Tower of Spirits in order reseal Demon King once again. | Upon their quest, the Spirit Tracks that they are riding on suddenly disappear.

[[Link]] first meets Zelda after he witnesses [[Seres]] being transformed into a painting by [[Yuga]]. At first, Zelda does not know who Link is, but she mentions that she saw him in her dreams. After being told about Seres, the princess takes the events seriously and gives Link the [[Pendant of Courage]], one of three crucial elements to obtaining the [[Master Sword]]. Zelda then tells Link to seek the elder [[Sahasrahla (A Link Between Worlds)|Sahasrahla]], who will be able to give him more information about what to do next. | [[Link]] first meets Zelda after he witnesses [[Seres]] being transformed into a painting by [[Yuga]].

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]]. | 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]].

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. | When Calamity Ganon finally returned, Zelda still had not awoken the power deep inside her.

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. | All was not well though, as Link soon collapsed to the ground and died in Zelda's arms.

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. | Once one hundred years had passed, Link was awoken by Zelda's voice in the Shrine of Resurrection.

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.

Once Link awakens on the [[Great Sky Island]], he is given the [[Purah Pad]] by a [[Steward Construct]], who says it is from Zelda. He is led to believe that Zelda can be found in the [[Temple of Time (Tears of the Kingdom)|Temple of Time]]. This begins the [[Find Princess Zelda]] Main Quest. After opening the door to the Temple, he obtains a [[Recall]] ability from her presence, and uses it to complete another shrine. This allows Link to venture into the area behind the Temple, where he places a glowing [[Master Sword]] into a ball of light. This transfers the sword to Zelda, who is seemingly in a past time.

After conferring with [[Purah]], Link travels to the crew investigating the floating Hyrule Castle. There they see Zelda, who mysteriously ascends into the sky and disappears. Purah then advises Link to investigate the four [[Regional Phenomena]], strange reports that come from each major area of Hyrule. At each of these locations, the local residents will report that they have interacted with Zelda. Her presence usually causes detrimental effects, or she doesn't seem to be her normal self. Many times during Link's investigation Zelda appears in front of him, but she disappears before she can be reached. | After conferring with [[Purah]], Link travels to the crew investigating the floating Hyrule Castle.

When Link helps to resolve one of these afflictions in each area, a former [[Sage]] will tell a story of the [[Imprisoning War]] that was first fought against Ganondorf. [[Rauru (Tears of the Kingdom|Rauru]] and six other Sages, including Zelda as the Sage of Time, attempted to defeat Ganondorf. They were unable to, and Rauru opted to sacrifice his life to keep Ganondorf sealed underneath Hyrule Castle.

As instructed by Purah, Link finds the missing fifth Sage, [[Mineru]]. She recounts the Imprisoning War, and notes her experiences with Zelda eons ago. Zelda used her Recall ability to distract Ganondorf, which allowed Rauru to seal him away. When Link transferred the Master Sword to her in the past, she looked for a way to restore it back to its former state. The only way she could was with a method forbidden by the Zonai, but Zelda was firm in her decision and committed to it.

After Link has nearly defeated Ganondorf, the Demon King will consume his Secret Stone, which transforms him into the [[Demon Dragon]]. The Light Dragon will come to aid Link, and the two work together to defeat the Demon Dragon, and finally destroy Ganondorf. Afterwards, Rauru and [[Sonia]] appear beside Link.
