Zelda: Difference between revisions

'''Zelda''' is a reccuring character in the Legend of Zelda games. In most of the games she takes on the role of the Princess of Hyrule. She tends to get kidnapped at some point in the game, and the hero [[Link]] sets out on a quest to save her.  

She is also one of the three holders of one of the [[Triforce]] parts, the Triforce of Wisdom.

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 the [[Sanctuary (A Link to the Past)|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 [[Hyrule Castle]]. She dissappears before Link and Agahnim go to the [[Dark World]]. After Link rescues the [[Seven Maidens]], the last one, Princess Zelda, tells Link where [[Ganon]] is.

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 [[Ganon|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.
