Princess Zelda

Description

Overall

There are numerous Zeldas throughout the series. Each Zelda is the princess of Hyrule, and also in most games Zelda holds the Triforce of Wisdom. Zelda's physical appearance changes quite a lot considering the first three games, after OoT Zelda always seems to wear a pink dress, a golden tiara, long gloves and she also has long blonde hair. Even her Official Art for ALttP was redone for the GBA release to make her look more similar to the other Zeldas.

The Legend of Zelda

When Ganon attacked, taking the Triforce of Power, Zelda broke the Triforce of Wisdom into eight pieces, hiding them in Hyrule, south of Death Mountain. Ganon kidnapped Zelda, imprisoning her in Death Mountain.

The Adventure of link

The red-haired princess of Hyrule. She lived with her father, the king, and her brother, the prince.

Before the king died, he entrusted his daughter with information about the Triforce. After the king passed on, the prince and a wizard questioned Zelda on this information. Because Zelda would not reveal what the king had told her, the wizard cast a spell on her. Zelda would sleep eternally.

The prince placed his sleeping sister in a shrine. So no one would forget what happened, he ordered that every female child born to royalty in Hyrule would carry on the name "Zelda".
