"Princess Mipha is King Dorephan's daughter. She was selected as one of the Champions due to her special ability to heal others' wounds. She is kind and soft spoken, but deep down she is also incredibly strong. She fights to protect her people and all the people of Hyrule as the chosen pilot of the Divine Beast Vah Ruta. On the day of the Great Calamity, she was attacked in the Divine Beast by Waterblight Ganon and lost her life. She is doomed to remain trapped there in spirit form until Link slays the demon that took her life."

Mipha is a character in Breath of the Wild. She was the former Champion of the Zora chosen by Zelda to pilot the Divine Beast Vah Ruta before her death at the hands of Waterblight Ganon.[1] She was the daughter of King Dorephan and older sister of Prince Sidon. She was also romantically interested in Link and created the Zora Armor for him.[2] Mipha specialized in healing magic, but was also skilled with a spear and wielded the Lightscale Trident.[3]

Appearances

Breath of the Wild

Mipha is shown to have been a model princess for the Zora and their pride and joy, both demure and an excellent warrior. As an individual, Mipha was known to be affectionate, sweet, kind and somewhat shy, while also being noted for her healing powers. The loss of her was a significant blow to the now elder Zora, who blame Link for her demise due to the fact that they entrusted her to both him and the Royal Family of Hyrule as a Champion. Upon arriving to the Zora Domain, Link will encounter a commemorative statue erected in her memory, front and center in the palace.

When Princess Zelda meets with Mipha at the top of Veiled Falls to ask her to become Divine Beast Vah Ruta's pilot, the Zora princess asks for the names of the other Champions. Zelda goes through the names of Daruk, Revali, and Urbosa, but she doesn't address Link by name, which Mipha already figured out. She sees Sidon at the bottom of the waterfall and calls him up here, which Zelda reminds her that he might be a bit too young to be able to swim up waterfalls. Mipha insists that she must one day leave him to face her fate with Ruta as she surfs down the falls to reach Sidon's leval and has him join her to get the feel of it. As she climbs up the waterfall and returns to the top, she tells Sidon that if anything happened to her on the battlefield, she will be leaving the responsibility of Zora's Domain's safety in his hands and tells him that she believes in him before asking if he would like to go again, which Sidon responds with a grin prompting Mipha to giggle as Zelda looks on.

When all four Champions are assembled, Mipha attends the Champions' inauguration ceremony, and they are each bestowed blue cloths to display their status and Mipha, alongside Daruk, wore theirs like sashes. After the ceremony concludes, the Champions lounge at the gazebo as Revali takes a look at the Sheikah Slate as Zelda explains its uses before he passes it to Mipha. Urbosa brings up the subject about the slate being able to produce still-images which grabs Mipha's attention and asks Zelda for a favor. Mipha and the Champions are grouped in the photo as Purah tells everyone to get into position and when she likes the results, she snaps the photo, but Daruk managed to pull everyone in without warning.

Mipha is present with the other Champions when Link's personal ceremony takes place. Mipha isn't too pleased with it as Zelda's speech carried a negative tone through the whole ritual, which also bothers her fellow Champions, Daruk and Revali, and she becomes miffed when Revali argues with Daruk, while Urbosa, who has a close relationship with the princess understood why Zelda is like that.

Later, at sunset, Mipha and Link are sitting on Vah Ruta's trunk as Mipha is healing a wound that Link received in one of his battles and recalls the day she first met Link when he was only four years old and remembers how reckless he was as he was often injured and recalls that she was there to heal his cuts and bruises and she notes that Link, like every Hylian, age faster than her longer living kin. After patching the wound, Mipha goes on to the topic about their upcoming battle with Calamity Ganon and she tells him that no matter how bad his wounds are, she will always be there to heal them and when they do make it through after the battle, she hopes that they will spend more time with each other like they did years ago.

After several days go by, Mipha and the Champions meet with Link and the princess as they return from Mt. Lanayru where the latter had been training at the Spring of Wisdom, and she unfortunately had nothing to show for it. Urbosa tells her that pitying herself won't help with it and anything could spark her power at this rate. Mipha steps in and attempts to offer the princess advice in how she uses her own power, but she is cut off when the ground suddenly shakes as Revali flies up to see what was going on before he rejoins them. They figure out that Ganon had just rose from beneath Hyrule Castle. Mipha asks Revali if he is sure which he replies that he is. Daruk motivates the Champions to go to their Divine Beasts so they can launch a counterstrike and tells Link to head to Hyrule Castle. Urbosa implores Zelda to get to safety, but the princess refuses as she insists that she must do something regardless of if she had her power or not.

When Ganon took over Divine Beast Vah Ruta, Mipha was slain. 100 years later, Link returns to free the Divine Beast. Mipha's spirit greets him, stating that she is happy to see he has finally arrived.[4] She shows him where the map of Ruta can be found, and then explains that he must open all of the terminals within Ruta to free the beast.[5][6] After opening all of the terminals and activating the main control unit, Waterblight Ganon appears. Mipha once again provides Link with advice and encouragement as he battles the monster.

After the battle is over, Mipha appears before Link as a spirit and thanks him for defeating the monster and freeing both her and Ruta.[7] She offers Link Mipha's Grace, an extension of her healing magic that can revive Link from death.[8] She then takes Ruta to the top of a nearby mountain, and uses its power to weaken Ganon at the castle.[9] Looking to Zora's Domain, she wonders how her father is doing, and wishes she could see him one more time.[10]

When Calamity Ganon breaks out of Zelda's magic that contained him for a century, Mipha wastes no time opening fire as it was their last opportunity and won't fail. Once Ganon is sealed away and Princess Zelda emerges from her own seal, Mipha joins the other Champions and King Rhoam as they float in front of Hyrule Castle watching over Link and Zelda as they disappeared, having fulfilled their destinies.

Age of Calamity

"The princess of the Zora, who possesses an incredible healing power. She was childhood friends with Link. Now, she is entrusted with piloting Divine Beast Vah Ruta."

Mipha first appears in the Mipha, the Zora Princess Scenario, when Princess Zelda attempts to convince King Dorephan to let his daughter become the Zora Champion of Divine Beast Vah Ruta, though he politely turns her down. Meanwhile, Link is speaking with Mipha, who is happy to see him again and she saw Terrako whom she thinks is cute, but their conversation is short-lived when the Zora Captain tells her that a monster army is invading Zora's Domain and she asks of her father, but the captain adds that he was hoping that her brother Sidon is with her, which Mipha realizes that Sidon went missing and tells him to watch over the domain while she looks for Sidon. The crisis is worse when they find that they are dealing with electrical monsters, which electricity is a mortal weakness to her and her people and she is repeatedly warned of this threat, though Mipha insists that she must push forward, and she eventually learns that Sidon is found in one place that is strictly off-limits: Ploymus Rock; it was home to the Red-Maned Lynel, a powerful beast that is known for wielding Shock Arrows. Mipha and her friends arrive at the area where they find the young Sidon pointing a spear at the Lynel and refuses it let it harm her little brother. After driving it away, Mipha reunites with Sidon and hugs him while scolding him for wandering off and giving her and the Zoras a nasty scare, but she praises him for being brave. It doesn't last long when they find more monster reinforcements heading into the domain. Terrako reveals the image in Princess Zelda's Sheikah Slate with Vah Ruta in it. As King Dorephan fights many monsters, an Electric Moblin attempts to get a jump on him, but is suddenly blasted away by a blue laser, coming from Vah Ruta, controlled by his own daughter. With the Divine Beast, Mipha destroys the monsters attacking the domain and deals with the ones fleeing area. After the battle, King Dorephan realizes that the situation with Calamity Ganon's return is more dire than it looks, and they weren't as prepared as he thought they were. He tells Mipha to attend and she stands before him, as he grants her his permission to become the pilot of Divine Beast Vah Ruta, but he made her promise to come home safely, as Sidon still needs his sister to be there for him.

During The Yiga Clan Attacks! Scenario, Princess Zelda travels with the Champions and several Hylian soldiers across Castle Town to help the recruited warriors with calibrating the Divine Beasts in order to handle them better. Mipha forms a brother-sister bond with Daruk when she asks him help train her so she can be prepared to fight tougher enemies going forward and Daruk is happy to do so and goes on the subject that a certain knight has yet to be chosen to wield the Master Sword which Mipha agrees with. Daruk gets a glimpse at Link and saw him as a potential candidate and he chuckles, as it implies that he knows about Mipha's crush on Link, but he keeps it to himself. They are suddenly ambushed by the Yiga Clan lead by Sooga who have come to assassinate Princess Zelda. Link and the princess withdraw as the Champions and the authentic Hylian knights deal with the footsoldiers. Their stronghold had a Hinox which was a decoy to lure them away so Sooga can attack Link and the Princess. His attempt at assassinating the princess was thwarted by Link when he blocked his tosses kunai and Sooga and the Yiga Clan withdraw as Mipha and Daruk laugh at the sight of Terrako getting mad at Link for pushing it away when it tried to take the blow for Zelda.

During the Freeing Korok Forest Scenario, Mipha is with the other Champions at the cliff outside the forest being plagued by monsters and she is seen glaring at Revali when he began sprouting insults at Link, before Urbosa tells him to cease his insolence. Revali then summons Divine Beast Vah Medoh to clear out all the powerful monsters and outposts around it before letting them know they can now proceed and rejoining them. During their exploration, Mipha notes on how foggy it is before Revali and Daruk get into a very brief quarrel as Urbosa assures them that getting lost isn't the issue but being ambushed is. They encounter Hestu, who is trying to get their attention for a full minute, and he happens to be familiar with the forest. Daruk asks him to lead the way, though Hestu is reluctant to do so because of the monsters, which Revali makes a remark that he can sneak by without carrying his noisy maracas, while Urbosa tells Hestu not to mind him and offers to help deal with the monsters, which Hestu guides them without further question as Mipha and Zelda look at each other in confusion before following them. They encounter odd appearances of Malice blocking the way, which is maintained by four replicas of the Champions called Hollows created by Astor to prevent them from reaching the Master Sword. After Link gains the Master Sword in a desperate act to protect Princess Zelda from Astor and the Hollows, Mipha and the Champions arrive at the clearing where they listen to the Great Deku Tree's words. At this point, the princess of Hyrule grows more concerned after seeing Link having gained the Master Sword while she still has yet to reach her goal on accessing her long dormant power.

During The Road Home, Besieged, Mipha and the Champions are on their way back to Hyrule Castle when Princess Zelda's worries get the better of her. As Terrako plays her lullaby, they witness several monsters at Crenel Peak where Mipha and the others spring into action as they fight their way through the monsters. After they succeed, Mipha and the others are promoted as official Champions and they now wear blue cloths and Mipha, alongside Daruk, wore theirs like sashes and after the inauguration ceremony comes to an end, they hang out at the gazebo. As Impa and Terrako get into a scuffle, Mipha reminds Daruk about their earlier conversation about training which Daruk agrees to get started. Mipha almost reveals her intentions of becoming stronger so she can fight with Link, in front of the Hylian Champion who approaches her as Mipha starts to panic and attempts to defend herself before it was interrupted by the fight between Impa and Terrako as they start to bug Revali to the point where the Rito flew off in disgust at their childish behavior.
