After being freed from the need to keep Calamity Ganon at bay, Zelda settles down in [[Hateno Village]], founding the [[Hateno School]] there with [[Symin]]'s help. She also tasks [[Hudson Construction]] with rebuilding Hyrule, and involves herself in various other projects, including the discovery of [[Dondon]]s. | |||
Zelda first appears in the prologue to ''Tears of the Kingdom''. She is exploring the [[Beneath Hyrule Castle]] area with [[Link]], after [[Gloom]] has started to appear and afflict nearby Hylians.

Zelda first appears in the prologue to ''Tears of the Kingdom''. She is exploring the [[Beneath Hyrule Castle]] area with [[Link]], after [[Gloom]] has started to appear and afflict nearby Hylians. When the two find the [[Zonai]] murals along the walls of the passage, in the [[Forgotten Foundation]], she is initially excited to learn of [[Hyrule]]'s founding's that correlate with her studies. After venturing further into the area they discover the the mummified [[Ganon]]dorf being held down by a strange arm in the [[Imprisoning Chamber]]. When the arm holding him falls to the ground, a [[Secret Stone|stone]] falls towards Zelda, which she picks up. Ganondorf soon comes to life, , ravages Link's health and recognises her. She barely has time to wonder what is going on, before Ganondorf lifts [[Hyrule Castle (Breath of the Wild)#Tears of the Kingdom|Hyrule Castle]] into the air, along with destroying the cavern they are in. Zelda falls with the crumbling ground, and disappears into a bright light. | |||
Once Link awakens on the [[Great Sky Island]], he is given the [[Purah Pad]] by a | ===The Era of Hyrule's Founding=== | ||
From her perspective, she appears in the distant past of Hyrule, where she meets the Zonai [[Rauru (Tears of the Kingdom)|King Rauru]] and his Hylian wife [[Sonia|Queen Sonia]], the first King and Queen of Hyrule. They take her in, and together with the king's sister [[Mineru]], explain the "secret stone" she found, and the time power she possesses - boosted by the stone - which sent her into the distant past. With no way back to the present - save the forbidden act of [[draconification]], which would turn her into an immortal dragon at the cost of identity death - she reluctantly settles into the past and becomes close to the ancient royals, especially Sonia, who helps guide her in the use of the [[Recall|time power]] she shares. | |||
However, the Ganondorf of the past intercedes, and despite Zelda's warnings, Rauru accepts his vow of fealty, thinking it better to keep him close. He is proven wrong when a sting operation conducted by Zelda and Sonia, where a copy of Zelda controlled by Ganondorf attempts to kill Sonia and is exposed by the royals, ends in tragedy. Ganondorf kills Sonia and takes her secret stone, redubbing himself the "Demon King". Zelda uses the [[Purah Pad]] to warp herself, the dying Sonia and the angry Rauru away before the Demon King can kill them. As the Demon King's Army beats back Hyrule's army, and looks toward total triumph, Rauru recruits a group of [[sage]]s from the leaders of the major Hyrulean races, and gives them secret stones. Joined by Zelda as the Sage of Time, and Mineru as the Sage of Spirit, the group of six sages swears fealty to Rauru. In the final battle, Rauru sacrifices himself to keep Ganondorf contained for thousands of years, until the events which led to Zelda travelling back in time. While Zelda and most of the sages survive, Mineru is mortally wounded. | |||
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. | |||
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 millenia. As it does so, eleven [[Dragon's Tear]]s fall from its eyes, landing across Hyrule. | |||
===A Mysterious Figure=== | |||
Once Link awakens on the [[Great Sky Island]], he is given the [[Purah Pad]] by a Steward Construct, who says it is from Zelda. He is led to believe that Zelda can be found in the [[Temple of Time (Tears of the Kingdom)|Temple of Time]]. This begins the [[Find Princess Zelda]] Main Quest. After opening the door to the Temple, he obtains a [[Recall]] ability from her presence, and uses it to complete another shrine. This allows Link to venture into the area behind the Temple, where he places a glowing [[Master Sword]] into a ball of light. This transfers the sword to Zelda, in the distant past. He hears Zelda's voice telling him he must find her. | |||
After conferring with [[Purah]], Link travels to the crew investigating the floating Hyrule Castle. There they see Zelda, who mysteriously ascends into the sky and disappears. Purah then advises Link to investigate the four [[Regional Phenomena]], strange reports that come from each major area of Hyrule. At each of these locations, the local residents will report that they have interacted with Zelda. Her presence usually causes detrimental effects, or she doesn't seem to be her normal self. Many times during Link's investigation Zelda appears in front of him, but she disappears before she can be reached. | After conferring with [[Purah]], Link travels to the crew investigating the floating Hyrule Castle.

When Link helps to resolve one of these afflictions in each area, a former [[Sage]] will tell a story of the [[Imprisoning War]] that was first fought against Ganondorf. [[Rauru (Tears of the Kingdom|Rauru]] and six other Sages, including Zelda as the Sage of Time, attempted to defeat Ganondorf. They were unable to, and Rauru opted to sacrifice his life to keep Ganondorf sealed underneath Hyrule Castle.

They were unable to, and Rauru opted to sacrifice his life to keep Ganondorf sealed underneath Hyrule Castle. After resolving all the Regional Phenomena, those at [[Lookout Landing]] see Zelda up at the Castle floating in the sky. Once Link makes his way there, he chases her around the Castle. As he almost reaches her each time, she is replaced by monsters. She finally appears at the [[Sanctum]], and is explained by Ganondorf to be a fake meant to distract them while he regains his power. | ||
As instructed by Purah, Link finds the | ===Past Zelda=== | ||
Putting the pieces together, Link, the sages and Purah realise that the woman who looked like Zelda in the visions of the sages' ancestors was ''their'' Zelda, and she is trapped in the past. They also realise there was one more sage - Mineru. | |||
As instructed by Purah, Link goes searching for the fifth sage. When he finds a [[Zonai Relic]] on Dragonhead Island, it wakes Mineru's voice in the Purah Pad, who has him put together a [[Mineru's Construct]] to hold her consciousness. After recovering her secret stone, she explains what happened to Rauru and Zelda. Mineru recounts the Imprisoning War, and notes her experiences with Zelda eons ago. Zelda used her Recall ability to distract Ganondorf, which allowed Rauru to seal him away. When Link transferred the Master Sword to her in the past, she looked for a way to restore it back to its former state. The only way she could was with a method forbidden by the Zonai, but Zelda was firm in her decision and committed to it. Mineru promised Zelda that she would aid Link, even as a spirit, when the time came. She asks Link to find the Master Sword somewhere out in Hyrule. | |||
Link finds the Master Sword impaled into the head of the [[Light Dragon]] while it is flying around Hyrule. If he has enough [[Stamina Wheel|Stamina]], he will be able to pull the Sword out. This causes him to experience a vision of Zelda, who tells him that the Master Sword is the key to destroying the Demon King. She imparted her strength into the Sword, and hoped it would reach him in the future. | Link finds the Master Sword impaled into the head of the [[Light Dragon]] while it is flying around Hyrule.

After Link has nearly defeated Ganondorf, the Demon King will consume his Secret Stone, which transforms him into the [[Demon Dragon]]. The Light Dragon will come to aid Link, and the two work together to defeat the Demon Dragon, and finally destroy Ganondorf. Afterwards, Rauru and [[Sonia]] appear beside Link. They, along with Rauru's former arm, infuse their power into the Light Dragon, who becomes Zelda. As Link and Zelda fall to the ground, Link reaches her and saves her.

Zelda awakes in Link's arms, feeling that she'd been "sleeping" her entire time as the Light Dragon. Happy to see the Master Sword reached Link, she realises he was able to eradicate Ganondorf. She looks forward to telling Link about her adventures, and all of the people that she met in the early days of Hyrule. This completes the [[Find Princess Zelda]] main quest. | |||
In an ending scene that can be found only after completing all [[Main Quest]]s, Link, Purah, Mineru, and all living Sages appear in the Sky at the location where Link transferred the Master Sword to Zelda. The Sages pledge their allegiance and support to Zelda. Mineru disappears for a final time, having completed the task she had originally promised Zelda she would uphold. Zelda promises that she will always work towards the vision of Hyrule that King Rauru, Queen Sonia, and the original Sages had wished for - a land of peace for all time. | In an ending scene that can be found only after completing all [[Main Quest]]s, Link, Purah, Mineru, and all living Sages appear in the Sky at the location where Link transferred the Master Sword to Zelda.
