Zelda: Difference between revisions

Like in most games, Zelda is the princess of all of [[Hyrule]]. 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 pieces and told her servant, [[Impa]], to find someone with enough courage to find the pieces and use it to destroy Ganon. But the evil king found out about this and imprisoned Zelda. Finally, [[Link]] found the Triforce of Wisdom, defeated Ganon, and saved the princess.

Even though ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|The Adventure of Link]]'' happens right after ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' and even has the same Link, the game has a very different Zelda. This Zelda sleeps in a chamber and cannot wake up until someone finds the [[Triforce of Courage]] and uses it on her.

A long time ago, the [[King of Hyrule]] died, and passed the [[Triforce]] down to his son, the next king. But the Triforce was incomplete, missing only a third of it's power, which is [[Triforce of Courage|Courage]]. A wizard told him that the only one who knew where it is was the princess Zelda. They questioned her, but she wouldn't say, so the wizard put her in a endless sleep. When the wizard died afterwards, the prince ordered every princess born in the royal family to be called Zelda, so the tragedy would never be forgotten, and thus this was her name on every single game afterwards.

When [[Agahnim]] captured Zelda, she telepathically talks to Link and tells him to rescue her from Agahnim. When rescued, he takes her to a sanctuary where a [[Loyal Sage]] lives, and leaves her with the sage to find the [[Master Sword]]. But Agahnim kills the sage and takes the princess back to the castle. She dissappears before Link and Agahnim go to the Dark World. After Link rescues the 7 maidens, the last one, Zelda, tells Link where Ganon is.

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.

===The Prophesy===

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 prophesies, she thought someone would come from a forest with a stone and a fairy and take down some kind of evil form.

Zelda has a quick conversation with Link, telling him how she's sorry she dragged him into this mess, which is all her fault. She makes the choice of sending Link back to the past so he can get his childhood back. So she asks for the Ocarina of Time and plays (in my oppinion) a better version of [[Zelda's Lullaby]], which sends Link back to the past. Link realizes that he's right at the time before he met Zelda, meaning she doesn't know him (yet), the people he helped got their problems back, and Ganondorf is still free to walk around wherever he likes. The last scene of the game is Link meeting Zelda for the first time... again.

Zelda does not take an important role in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''. She is only seen once, in a cutscene early in the game. After retrieving the [[Ocarina of Time]], Link has a flashback of when Zelda gave him the powerful instrument. She teaches him the [[Song of Time]], required to complete the game, as it allows Link to return to the first day while keeping things such as masks, items, upgrades, songs etc.

Zelda takes a more important role that in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', but it's not that big. If you connect both games for the final quest, she will appear and help you fight Ganon.

In this game, Zelda feels that the [[Four Sword]] is weakening, and that it's seal will break and [[Vaati]] will escape. She takes Link to investigate what's wrong. But when they get there, Vaati has already escaped and captures Zelda. After Link seals Vaati back into the Four Swords, Zelda thanks all four Links (or 2 in the Anniversary Edition: single player mode). Then, all the Links unite back into one, and he and Zelda go back and put the Four Swords back again.

===Character Changes===

(More info soon)

Much like in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords|Four Swords]]'', Zelda senses something wrong with the Four Sword's seal, so she goes with Link and 7 maidens to find out what happened. But then, Zelda and the maidens disappeared and [[Dark Link]] appears. Link takes the only weapon nearby, the Four Sword, and he splits into 4, but Vaati escapes and sends Link flying. The game is about Link saving the maidens and Zelda to stop Vaati.

In [[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]],  Zelda appears as Link's childhood friend. She gives him his shield and is turned to stone by [[Vaati]] early on.

In this game, Zelda is Tetra again, and the pirates are in search of the [[Ghost Ship]]. They travel to the World of the Ocean King in search of it. Once they find it Tetra attempts to board it, but the ship leaves with her inside. Link tries to follow her, but falls into the ocean. When he wakes up, he finds himself on an unfamiliar island. Link later finds and boards the Ghost Ship, only to find that tetra has been turned to stone. Oshus reveals that her life energy was being sucked out of her. (which is bad since she had the Triforce). When Link defeats the first stage of [[Bellum]], the main antagonist, Zelda wakes up. Bellum tries one more time to take Zelda, but Link defeats him again. Soon after they wake up in the Pirate Ship again, but they're friends tell them they had only been gone for ten minutes.

Zelda is a resident of [[Skyloft]], a classmate of Link and one of his closest friends. She too enjoys soaring through the clouds on top of her own bird. Despite being a normal girl in the town, Zelda seems to have some special status amongst the people of Skyloft. Early on in the game, Zelda gives out a prize to whomever wins the flight race.
