Zelda: Difference between revisions

Link asked Tetra if he could come with them to save his sister, and when she declined, a rito postman named [[Quill]] joined the conversation. He told them that during his days of mail delivery, he heard that the bird called [[Helmaroc King]] has been kidnapping girls with long, pointed ears, like Aryll’s and Tetra’s, inherited from the hylians, and taking them to a former pirate hangout called the [[Forsaken Fortress]]. After explaining that it must have confused Aryll for Tetra, she felt that she was guilty of what happened to her, and accepts Link as part of her crew, ONLY if he could find a shield to defend himself with. After finding a shield, Link says good-bye to everyone and leaves with the pirates.

Tetra tells Link to talk to [[Niko]] while they wait to get to the fortress. When they get there, it’s already night, and the place is guarded by cannons and searchlights, like an isolated prison. Tetra gets the plan of shooting Link inside the island to get his sister out. While they trick him into their catapult, Tetra sneaks in his pocket a [[Spoils Bag]] with an item inside called the [[Pirate’s Charm]], a magical stone used to talk through with the other half. When they launch him in, she notices that he lost his sword, so she guides him through the dungeon with the charms. When he reaches the prison cell, the King comes and grabs him by the beak and throws him into the water. The pirates, assuming he was dead, leave and go in search of treasure.

After many days, the pirates decide to switch from catapult to cannon, and go to an island called [[Windfall Island]], and raid the bomb shop. After tying up the owner, Tetra tells them of the cave behind [[Outset Island]], where a treasure is supposed to be hidden, but they need bombs to blow up the stone blocking the way. The pirates get into an argument where they should either go directly to Outset Island or to rest in the inn in town. Tetra looks up to the rafters and barely sees [[Link]]’s face looking down at them. She decides to let Link take the bombs and go after the treasure as an apology for what happened, so she tells everyone that they were staying at the inn tonight. After Link sneaks in on the ship and has a conversation with [[Niko]] who lets him take the bombs, Tetra talks to him through the [[Pirate’s Charm]] and lets him go with the bombs. The next morning, the pirates go to the cave and find it empty, so they leave disappointed with the results.

A few days later, the pirates decide to do a good deed and go off to rescue the kidnapped girls from the Forsaken Fortress. When they get there, they find they gates bombed, the searchlights off, and the cannons destroyed. The go in and get to the holding cells and finds Link there trying to save the girls, so the pirates help him. Tetra tells him to go on and defeat whoever is in charge, but then she notices that Link has the Master Sword, the blade that she heard from a legend her mom told her about, and asks Link where he found it. Before he could answer, Aryll goes into a rampage saying that he wants to stay with Link but the pirates tell her that she can’t stay here, and so they carry her outside with the other girls. Tetra, who forgot about the question, tells Link she’ll be back and leaves.

While the pirates take the girls to the ship, Tetra sees Link fighting the King and the prison cell flooded. She (somehow) makes it to the spot the King and Link where fighting but the bird is already dead, and sees Link going up one more floor: the Captain’s Quarters. When she gets there, she sees Link confronting Ganondorf, and when he knocks Link unconscious, Zelda tries to charge him, but Ganondorf takes hold of her. Suddenly he notices Zelda’s necklace: a golden upside down V, and he recognizes it as part of the Triforce of Wisdom, meaning Tetra is the girl he has been looking for so long he sent a bird after her. Before he has time to get the triforce, a giant dragon named [[Valoo]] and two ritos named [[Medli]] and [[Prince Komali]] come to save them, and when they’re out, Valoo burns Ganondorf’s Quarter down.

The [[King of Red Lions]], Link’s talking boat, takes them to the [[Tower of the Gods]], and after a quick chat with the ritos, they sink down to Hyrule Castle, which is still preserved underwater. Link gets a message from someone through the Pirate’s Charm telling him and Tetra to go to the room where he found the Master Sword. When they get there, a man appears and calls himself [[Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule|King Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule]], A.K.A. [[King of Red Lions|The King of Red Lions]]. He says he has guided Link through his journey in the great sea, and also reveals that Tetra is the descendant of Zelda, making her Princess Zelda. King Hyrule fits in the missing piece of the Triforce of Wisdom and Tetra transforms into Zelda. King Hyrule tells Link that he must return the Master Sword’s power into his sword so he can find the Triforce of Courage and take down Ganondorf once and for all. They leave Zelda in the altar to protect her from Ganondorf.

With the Master Sword in max power, and the Triforce of Courage in his possession, Link comes back to Hyrule Castle to get Zelda, but she’s kidnapped by Ganondorf. Link goes after them, and when he finds them, he confronts Ganondorf. After fighting all of his puppets, Link finally finishes him off and he turns to stone, sword in his face. King Hyrule tells both Zelda and Link that they must find a new place to settle in and to start a new kingdom. Link and Zelda (now Tetra) go with the pirates to find the new land which eventually becomes [[New Hyrule]].

In this game, Zelda is not a princess, but a normal girl with a grave destiny. She is Link's closest friend and rides around on a [[Zelda's Loftwing|Blue Loftwing]]. Her father, [[Gaepora]], the headmaster of the Knight Academy, along with Instructors [[Owlan]] and [[Horwell]], chose her to act as the goddess in the [[Wing Ceremony]], a race in which Link is attending. She sends a letter to Link on the day of the ceremony, asking him to visit her at the [[Statue of the Goddess]]. When he comes, she shows him her costume of the goddess and her new [[Goddess's Harp|harp]]. After a conversation with Gaepora about Link's ceremony, Zelda throws Link off Skyloft so that his [[Crimson Loftwing]] can catch him. But after a few seconds, Zelda and Gaepora notice that his bird isn’t coming. Zelda rescues Link, and Gaepora tells him that something is wrong and that he needs to inform [[Instructor Horwell]], the general in charge of that year's Wing Ceremony, to delay the race for him.

After Zelda tends for her bird that got tired from carrying both Link and Zelda, she goes to the [[The Plaza|plaza]] where Link and [[Groose]], the school bully, are having an argument in where Link has suspicions about Groose kidnapping his bird. After Groose and his lackeys, [[Cawlin]] and [[Strich]] leave, Zelda searches for Link's bird in the skies, hoping to find him before the race. After a few minutes she finds Link with a sword looking in an area below the waterfall, also known as Groose’s hideout. They search around there and find the Crimson Loftwing locked up in a cave. After Link saves him, Zelda starts talking to him about the "surface world" beneath the clouds and how she wants to see it. She also speaks with Link about a mysterious voice that keeps talking to her in her head. After talking, they mount their Loftwings for some flight practice, and then Zelda goes off to tell Gaepora that they can start the ceremony.

Zelda wakes up in the [[Sealed Grounds]] in the surface, and is found by an [[Impa|old woman]]. She takes her inside into the [[Sealed Temple]] and tells her that she has been waiting for her for a long time. She explains to her about [[Demise]] and the goddess [[Hylia]], how they fought, how she defeated him and sealed him away, and how she believed that he will escape his prison. She tells the story of Hylia’s two plans that she thought of and set in motion almost immediately: first is [[Fi]], the spirit of a sword that Link, as Hylia’s chosen hero, will use in his mission to defeat Demise. Fi was made to guide him through his journey on the surface. The second plan was to give up her inmortality and reincarnate into a human to hide from the evil forces that still walk on the surface.
