Zelda appears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', once again as the princess of [[Hyrule#Breath of the Wild|Hyrule]]. From a young age, Zelda was scholarly and interested in research. This eventually transformed into a passion with the discovery of the [[Guardian (Breath of the Wild)|Guardians]] and the [[Divine Beast]]s early in her life. After her mother died when Zelda was six years old, the duty fell upon the princess to discover the power of the Goddess [[Hylia]] that slept within her.

After her mother died when Zelda was six years old, the duty fell upon the princess to discover the power of the Goddess [[Hylia]] that slept within her. This proved to be difficult, however, for varying reasons. Zelda was often more interested in discovering the secrets of the ancient [[Sheikah]] technology found throughout Hyrule; and the "sealing power" eludes her, much to the displeasure of her father, [[King Rhoam|King Rhoam Bosphoramus Hyrule]]. For some time, she took the frustrations of this out on her designated protector, the Hylian Champion [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]], that Link's path as the chosen hero was of relative ease - but she began to warm up to him after he saved her life from a [[Yiga Clan]] attack in [[Kara Kara Bazaar]]. | ||
When Calamity Ganon finally returned, Zelda still had not awoken the power deep inside her. The plans she created as the leader of the [[Champion]]s began to rapidly unravel. All four Champions, many of Hyrule's residents, and her father died soon after Ganon's takeover. Ganon took control of the Divine Beasts and Guardians and used them to annihilate [[Central Hyrule]]. With nowhere left to turn, Zelda was on the run with Link, trying to recover any ground they could. The two were heavily outmatched, however, and were trapped by a [[Guardian Stalker]] on [[Blatchery Plain]] in [[West Necluda]]. With his last breaths, Link, still trying to protect Zelda, confronted the Guardian. Zelda however, managed to find the courage to confront the Guardian herself and protect Link in the face of evil. By doing so she finally unlocked her power and used it to destroy many Guardians within the nearby area. | When Calamity Ganon finally returned, Zelda still had not awoken the power deep inside her.

In the aftermath, Zelda finds herself drawn to the back of the [[Temple of Time (Tears of the Kingdom)|Temple of Time]], where the [[Decayed Master Sword]] appears from a time rift. The [[Fi|voice in the sword]] explains to her that Link survived Ganondorf's attack. Knowing this, and with the sword in hand, Zelda comes to a decision. She goes to Mineru and tells her she intends to draconify herself, so that her sacred power can allow the Master Sword to repair itself and increase its power, giving Link a chance in the present day when Ganondorf revives. Sick as she is, the Zonai sage objects, but relents when she sees she can't talk Zelda out of it and agrees to help. Zelda then travels to the other four sages, begging that they ensure their descendents help Link when the time comes. | In the aftermath, Zelda finds herself drawn to the back of the [[Temple of Time (Tears of the Kingdom)|Temple of Time]], where the [[Decayed Master Sword]] appears from a time rift.

Before Mineru's body dies, she uses her power as the sage of spirit to separate her ghost from her body, and enters the Purah Pad. Zelda then gives the Purah Pad to a [[Steward Construct]] for Link, and swallows the stone. She just has time to grab the Master Sword and wish for Ganondorf's destruction before transforming into the [[Light Dragon]], which travels high into the sky, the Master Sword embedded in its head, to pass the | Before Mineru's body dies, she uses her power as the sage of spirit to separate her ghost from her body, and enters the Purah Pad.

She just has time to grab the Master Sword and wish for Ganondorf's destruction before transforming into the [[Light Dragon]], which travels high into the sky, the Master Sword embedded in its head, to pass the millennia. As it does so, eleven [[Dragon's Tear]]s fall from its eyes, landing across Hyrule. | ||
In the present, shortly before he sent the Decayed Master Sword back in time, Link has a vision of Zelda, which grants him a version of her time power, [[Recall]], as a rune in his new Zonai right arm. Knowing none of what occurred in the past, after he sends the sword back, Link sees a fake Zelda disappear at Hyrule Castle, and involved in multiple [[Regional Phenomena]] which afflict the major non-Hylian races of Hyrule. This is eventually revealed to be a puppet of Ganondorf, but Link destroys it with the help of the present-day descendents of the sages, who have inherited their secret stones. Putting the pieces together, they realise that the woman who looked like Zelda in the visions of their ancestors was ''their'' Zelda, and she is trapped in the past. They also realise there was one more sage - Mineru. When Link finds a [[Zonai Relic]] on [[Dragonhead Island]], it wakes Mineru's voice, who has him put together a [[Mineru's Construct|construct]] to hold her consciousness. After recovering Mineru's secret stone, she explains what happened to Rauru and Zelda; and bades him to recover the Master Sword from the Light Dragon's head. Link can also learn more about Zelda's time in the past by finding the Dragon's Tears, which react with the Recall rune to show Link a [[Tears of the Kingdom Memories|vision of Zelda's time in the past]]. | In the present, shortly before he sent the Decayed Master Sword back in time, Link has a vision of Zelda, which grants him a version of her time power, [[Recall]], as a rune in his new Zonai right arm.
