'''Fi''' is a character featured in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''. Created by the goddess [[Hylia]], she is the spirit of the [[Goddess Sword]] and Link's companion throughout the events of the game.


==Story==
==Story==
Fi resides in the Goddess Sword, which is located on the floating island known as [[Skyloft]]. Link finds and acquires the Goddess Sword after Zelda is taken by the tornado. Link wakes up and hears commotion in the hall outside, so he goes to investigate. After leaving his room, he sees Fi, and Fi proceeds to lead Link on a chase all over Skyloft, until finally Fi stops at the Goddess Statue. Fi has the ability to traverse from Skyloft to [[Surface|The Land Below]]. Fi also has a "treasure-seeking ability" known as [[Dowsing]]. Dowsing can be used to find important items, like keys, characters, and even [[Zelda]] herself. Another ability Fi has, is when the player locks on to enemies they can press down on the d-pad and Fi will come out and give them some information on the enemy, much like [[Navi]] and [[Tatl]] from previous games. This is called Fi-captioning by the creators of the game.{{Unsourced}}
Fi first appears to Link inside the [[Knight Academy]] shortly after he is separated from [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]] by a black tornado. She leads Link throughout the town of [[Skyloft]] to the secret interior of the [[Goddess Statue]] where the Goddess Sword rests. Fi entices Link to draw the blade and, with the help of [[Gaepora]], exposits the great destiny that he must fulfill by descending to the [[Hyrule|Surface]] and reuniting with Zelda, giving him the [[Emerald Tablet]] that will open the way to [[Faron Woods]].


Since Fi was created by the Goddess herself, she is very knowledgeable about the Surface and its inhabitants. When Link enters a new area, Fi comes out of the sword and announces where he is and offers a brief description of its history. Furthermore, when Link finds an upgrade or a new item, Fi comes out of the sword and tells him what the item is and what it does.
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]].


{{Spoiler|section}}
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]].


When Zelda reveals herself as the goddess Hylia, she explains how she created Fi to guide the hero. Link and Fi then collect the [[Sacred Flames]] in order to empower Fi and make her strong enough to defeat [[Demise]]. She ultimately becomes the [[Master Sword]].
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.
 
At the end of the game, after Link fights Demise, Fi asks Link to put the Master Sword in a pedestal so she can go to sleep forever.

==Trivia==
* Because Fi is an inorganic being, she lacks a defined biological sex, as noted by the developers. However, she is referred to as female at many points throughout the game, in addition to being designed with a feminine figure.
* 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. This would make her three to four years younger than Link, appearance wise.
* Although Fi has not appeared personally in any games before or since ''Skyward Sword'', several of Link's interactions with the Master Sword have been indirectly attributed to her, retroactively or otherwise.
** 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. The manner in which the Master Sword glows brightly during the fight with [[Ganon]] has also been attributed to Fi.
** In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', the notion that Fi chooses each hero who wields the blade is given merit, as Midna comments that "the sword accepted [Link] as its master", referencing the manner in which Fi addressed Link in ''Skyward Sword''.
** In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', the first game to be released after ''Skyward Sword'', there are numerous references made to a voice or will that exists within the Master Sword.
*** 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.
*** In the present day, Fi will also test Link's endurance should he try to reclaim the Master Sword from its pedestal, sapping his life energy and potentially killing him unless he possesses enough [[Heart Container]]s to endure the test.
*** Fi's chiming is lastly heard upon full completion of the [[Trial of the Sword]], sounding several times to signify Link's achievement in restoring the blade's true might.
