Like in most games, Zelda is the princess of all of [[Hyrule]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''. When [[Ganon]] attacked Hyrule and took the [[Triforce of Power]] and led his army into Hyrule, Zelda took the [[Triforce of Wisdom]] and broke it into 8 [[Triforce Shard|pieces]] and told her servant, [[Impa]], to find someone with enough courage to find the pieces and use it to destroy Ganon; the evil king found out about this and imprisoned Zelda. While searching for this hero with courage, Impa gets surrounded by Ganon's minions. They circle in on her, when suddenly, Link comes and slays all the monsters. Impa tells Link of Zelda's plight, and Link goes off in search of the Triforce Shards.

Even though ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]'' happens right after ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' and even has the same Link, the game has a very different Zelda.

But, the Triforce was incomplete, missing a third of its power, the [[Triforce of Courage|Courage]]. A wizard told him that the only one who knew where it is was Princess Zelda; they questioned her, but she wouldn't say, so the wizard put her in an endless sleep. When the wizard died afterwards, the prince ordered every princess born in the [[Royal Family of Hyrule|Royal Family]] to be called Zelda, so the tragedy would never be forgotten, thus started the tradition to bestow this name upon her in every Zelda title. | ||

During Twilight Princess's prologue events, Link, in [[Ordon Village]], prepares to transport the [[Ordon Sword]] to Hyrule Castle. On the day of Link's planned departure, numerous shadow beasts appeared throughout Hyrule and stole the light of the light spirits in Hyrule, which allowed the land to succumb to [[twilight]]. All creatures of the light world are transformed into spirits in the twilight, and they are unaware of the reality of their surroundings. Link, however, is transformed into a sacred wolf - a sign to [[Midna]] that he is the chosen hero she seeks to aid her in her own quest for vengeance against [[Zant]]. She assists Link in reaching the tower of Hyrule Castle where Zelda resides so that Link can learn the reality of the darkness over Hyrule. | During Twilight Princess's prologue events, Link, in [[Ordon Village]], prepares to transport the [[Ordon Sword]] to Hyrule Castle.

Like Link, Zelda is not transformed into a spirit in the twilight but remains a Hylian as the Princess of Hyrule Castle. Upon meeting Link, she tells Link the tale of how Zant launched a raid on Hyrule Castle with the assistance of several [[Shadow Beast|shadow beasts]]. Zant quickly defeated the throne room's garrison and | Like Link, Zelda is not transformed into a spirit in the twilight but remains a Hylian as the Princess of Hyrule Castle. Upon meeting Link, she tells Link the tale of how Zant launched a raid on Hyrule Castle with the assistance of several [[Shadow Beast|shadow beasts]]. Zant quickly defeated the throne room's garrison and gave Zelda an ultimatum to surrender or die. Zelda, fearful for the welfare of the people of her kingdom, surrendered to Zant who then plunged the land of Hyrule into twilight. | ||

After all seven sages are freed, Link goes to [[Lorule Castle]] to save Zelda, where he finds out that her [[Princess Hilda|Lorule counterpart]] planned to obtain the Triforce of Wisdom to restore Lorule, which she gets from Princess Zelda. Later, Yuga betrays Princess Hilda and takes the Triforce of Wisdom from her, obtaining a second Triforce piece. Princess Zelda grants Link the [[Bow of Light]], which is used in the final battle against Yuga. | After all seven sages are freed, Link goes to [[Lorule Castle]] to save Zelda, where he finds out that her [[Princess Hilda|Lorule counterpart]] planned to obtain the Triforce of Wisdom to restore Lorule, which she gets from Princess Zelda.

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.

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. | Upon defeating Calamity Ganon's initial form, Ganon transformed into Dark Beast Ganon in a field in front of Hyrule Castle.
