'''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==
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]].
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 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]].
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.
==Non-Canon Appearances==
{{Non-Canon|section}}
===Hyrule Warriors===
Fi is a playable character in ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]'', ''[[Hyrule Warriors Legends]]'', and ''[[Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition]]''. Like in ''Skyward Sword'', she is the spirit that dwells in the [[Goddess Sword]] that is housed in the inside of the [[Statue of the Goddess]].{{Ref|Facebook Profile|Fi is the spirit of the "Goddess Sword" sealed inside the Statue of the Goddess in Skyloft.|[https://www.facebook.com/NintendoConsoleGaming Nintendo Console Gaming]}} With extensive knowledge and a highly analytical mind, Fi thinks things through logically, bestowing wisdom and advice to those who hold the Goddess Sword.{{Ref|Facebook Profile|With extensive knowledge and a highly analytical mind, Fi thinks things through logically and offers advice and wisdom to whoever holds the sword.|[https://www.facebook.com/NintendoConsoleGaming Nintendo Console Gaming]}} While having a young, feminine body made of a blue, metal-like material, she is genderless and does not have emotions.{{Ref|Facebook Profile|Its body is made of a blue, metal-like material.

Link first meets Fi in [[Legend Mode]] during the Land in the Sky scenario on [[Skyloft (Hyrule Warriors)|Skyloft]]. He hears a mysterious voice calling to him from within the Statue of the Goddess.{{Ref|''[[Hyrule Warriors]]''|Link... Master... I wait for you underneath the Goddess Statue...|Fi}} Inside, he finds Fi, who introduces herself and says that although he is not her master, she can consider him a master and she will assist him.{{Ref|''[[Hyrule Warriors]]''|My name is Fi.

Fi is first playable during the scenario Sealed Ambition on the Sealed Grounds, where she helps Link defeat Ghirahim. She then teaches Link to use a [[Skyward Strike]] so he can close the Gate of Souls in the area.{{Ref|''[[Hyrule Warriors]]''|Master, raise your sword skyward, and then swing it down.|Fi}}
She is also playable on the stages [[Temple of the Sacred Sword|The Sacred Sword]], [[Temple of Souls|A War of Spirit]], and [[Valley of Seers|Shining Beacon]]. Additionally, she appears in the story on the stages [[Sealed Grounds|The Demon Lord's Plan]] and [[Skyloft|The Demon Lord]], as a part of [[Linkle]] and [[Cia]]'s respective stories.


'''Fi''' is a character featured in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'' as [[Link]]'s guide throughout the game. She was created by the goddess [[Hylia]] and is tied to the [[Goddess Sword]]. Like [[Midna]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', her voice is gibberish, though this time using a more computerized sound giving the impression of [[Wikipedia:Aritificial Intelligence|artificial intelligence]].  With her computerized personality and robotic speaking, she aids Link in the form of analyses and hints.
====Weapon====
{{Main|Goddess Blade}}
Fi's weapon is the light-element Goddess Blade. Being an extremely agile character, Fi floats and moves in the air. Having a wide variety of actions and attacks, she can dance and transform into a sword to attack enemies.{{Ref|Facebook Profile|Fi floats and moves in the air, and transforms into a sword to attack.|[https://www.facebook.com/NintendoConsoleGaming Nintendo Console Gaming]}} Similar to her dancing, she can sing on top of a [[Trial Gate]]. Another one of Fi's attacks includes summoning the three [[Sacred Flames]], and she is also able to create a [[Goddess Crest]].


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 [[Hyrule|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 [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]] herself. Another ability Fi has, is when you lock on to enemies you press down on the d-pad and Fi will come out and give you some information on the enemy, much like [[Navi]] and [[Tatl]] from previous games. This is called Fi-captioning by the creators of the game.
====Badges====
{{Main|Badge Market/Fi/Attack}}
{{Main|Badge Market/Fi/Defense}}
{{Main|Badge Market/Fi/Assist}}
To complete all of Fi's badges in ''Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition'', the player must collect the following materials:


Fi has something to do with why Skyloft was separated from Hyrule. She is also somehow important to the forging of the Master Sword, but exactly how has yet to be revealed. Also, after Link's encounter with [[Demon Lord Ghirahim|Lord Ghirahim]], Ghirahim himself states that the Goddess Sword is the only thing that kept Link alive during their fight. Since Fi was created by the Goddess herself, she knows all this knowledge about [[Hyrule|The Land Below]] and it's inhabitants. When Link enters a new area, Fi comes out of the sword and announces where you are and a very brief blip about it. Also, when Link finds an upgrade or a new item, Fi comes out of the sword and tells you what the item is and what it does. When she talks to Link, she speaks in a strange way similar to Midna, and she refers to him as master. Why she acts this way is also, like her origin, a mystery.

===Super Smash Bros. for Wii U===
[[File:Fi-Trophy-Super-Smash-Bros-Wii-U.png|150px|left]]Fi makes a small appearance in [[Nintendo|Nintendo's]] flagship fighting game, ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. In this game, Fi can be unlocked in the form of a trophy.
{{Clear}}
===Super Smash Bros. Ultimate===
Fi appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as a primary spirit. She can be unlocked by battling a Link with empowered melee weapons and an increased Final Smash meter on the omega Skyloft stage in the World of Light game mode. After obtaining her spirit once, she can be purchased for 6000G. She increases the player's neutral special.
==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.

Fi is a character featured in 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

Fi first appears to Link inside the Knight Academy shortly after he is separated from 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 Surface and reuniting with Zelda, giving him the Emerald Tablet that will open the way to Faron Woods.

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 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 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 Gates, and dancing, as she does when translating messages at the Skyview and Earth Springs and the Isle of Songs.

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 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.

Hyrule Warriors

Fi is a playable character in Hyrule Warriors, Hyrule Warriors Legends, and Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition. Like in Skyward Sword, she is the spirit that dwells in the Goddess Sword that is housed in the inside of the Statue of the Goddess.[3] With extensive knowledge and a highly analytical mind, Fi thinks things through logically, bestowing wisdom and advice to those who hold the Goddess Sword.[4] While having a young, feminine body made of a blue, metal-like material, she is genderless and does not have emotions.[5] She is weak to the darkness element and she drops Fi's Heels as a silver material and Fi's Crystal as a gold.

Link first meets Fi in Legend Mode during the Land in the Sky scenario on Skyloft. He hears a mysterious voice calling to him from within the Statue of the Goddess.[6] Inside, he finds Fi, who introduces herself and says that although he is not her master, she can consider him a master and she will assist him.[7] Fi then helps Link defeat Volga.[8] She then suggests that they head to the Sealed Grounds, where they hope to find Ghirahim and close the Gate of Souls.[9]

Fi is first playable during the scenario Sealed Ambition on the Sealed Grounds, where she helps Link defeat Ghirahim. She then teaches Link to use a Skyward Strike so he can close the Gate of Souls in the area.[10]

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.

The manner in which the Master Sword glows brightly during the fight with Ganon has also been attributed to Fi.
    • In 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 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 Containers 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.
