==Link's Awakening==
Zelda doesn't appear in this game, and thus is not an actual character, but she is mentioned once. Right after ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', Link travels on a ship to new lands, but is shipwrecked in an island. The first person he meets there is Marin, who he confuses for Zelda.

One day, princess Zelda wakes up from a dream. In her dream, she sees dark clouds in the sky, covering Hyrule in darkness, but then a light shot out of the forest, cleared the sky, and a figure appeared. It turned into a person, holding a stone, and followed by a [[Fairy|fairy]]. Since she had studied prophecies, she thought someone would come from a forest with a stone and a fairy and take down some kind of evil form.

When Zelda tells her father, he doesn't believe her, but her servant, Impa, the last [[Sheikah]], does, and so tries to protect her. Then, a man from the desert named [[Ganondorf]] comes and visits the king. Zelda believes that this man is the evil darkness that surrounded Hyrule in her dream. She tried to warn her father, but he doesn't believe her, so he sends her out of the room so he can talk privately with Ganondorf. She goes into the garden and looks inside one of the windows to the Throne Room, where her father and Ganondorf are, and spies on them.

With Ganondorf sealed away, Hyrule went to it's old self. But the seal eventualy broke, and Ganondorf escaped, and since there was no [[Hero of Time]] to stop him, he took over Hyrule again. After generations of pain and suffering, the hylians prayed to the gods to sve them. They ordered the hylians to flee to the mountains, and the gods flooded Hyrule to stop the evil from spreading. The villagers became islanders, the [[Kokiri]] became [[Korok]], the [[Zora]] became the [[Rito]], and the [[Gorons]]s became traveler gorons. The royal family was forced to go into hiding to protect the Triforce of Courage, and so became pirates. Ganondorf survived and started looking for the princess and the triforce.

Princess Zelda is [[Link]]'s sidekick in this adventure. She is a descendant of [[Tetra]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]''.  Early in the game, [[Chancellor Cole]] steals Zelda's body with the intent of using it to resurrect [[Malladus]]. For the remainder of the game, Zelda is a ghost, and [[Link]] is the only person who can see her. However, even though she doesn't have a body, Zelda is more useful on this quest than ever before. While in the [[Tower of Spirits]], she can inhabit the body of a [[Phantom]], allowing the player to control her. Her armor and strength is essential for traversing the tower. For example, in areas with pools of lava, Link will need to hitch a ride on Zelda (in Phantom form)'s shield, as Zelda's armor is immune to the lava, while Link's suit is vulnerable to it. She becomes a great help to Link on his quest.

During the final battle, Zelda goes back into her body after Link shoots Malladus with a [[Light Arrow]] using the [[Light Bow]]. After concentrating her spirit power and revealing Malladus's weakness using a ritual involving the six [[Lokomo]]s'(who may have a close relation with the [[Six Sages]] of [[Ocarina of Time]]) instruments, Link's [[Spirit Flute]], and Zelda's vocals played all in beautiful harmony, she takes the bow and shoots while Link distracts him, similar to the [[Ganondorf]] battle in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]]''. Finally, after Malladus is finally gone, Link and Zelda hold hands while they watch the six [[Lokomo]]s leave.

===Wing Ceremony===
===Wing Ceremony===
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]], an annual 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]]. 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]] where she finds that Link and [[Groose]], the school bully, are having an argument in which 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 last-minute review flight practice, and then Zelda goes off to tell Gaepora that they can start the ceremony.
