Arturo: There are Magic jars in ALttP, too

The Magic Jar is a green jar containing magic power. When picked up it will partially, or completely, fill Link's Magic Meter.

==Suggested changes==
Hi Lesoria, thanks for joining and contributing so much content and ideas so soon. I've actually been thinking about the kind of changes you are suggesting, i.e. compiling a lot of stubs into one long article. This would be an excellent idea if this were Wikipedia. However, I'm not sure at this point if this is the way we should go on the ZL Wiki. The intent here really is to one day have a complete article for everything. It's true that this won't happen soon, but if enough Zelda fans get involved it could happen sooner than you think. In the meantime, your suggestion *could* be carried out in modified form, perhaps by putting compiled lists into the corresponding category. For example, the compilation of sword techniques could go into the sword techniques category. I also agree completely that magic spells and sword techniques should go in different categories. They are only together because that's how it was on the site's old encyclopedia. -[[User:Davogones|davogones]] 04:43, 28 January 2006 (EST)

:Thanks for the response! I'm trying hard to not suggest a whole bunch of radical changes, because I can understand why things are the way they are (and in many cases would have taken the same road myself to begin with). This is the main reason I put a sandbox on my user page, so I can experiment and show off possibilities, without actually touching anything.
:I'm hoping to add much more, because I really want for there to be a very inclusive Zelda information place on the web, and Zelda Legends Wiki looks to be headed in the right direction. --[[User:Lesoria|Lesoria]] 04:49, 28 January 2006 (EST)

==Categories for images???==

Hi Lesoria. I've seen your hard work in just one day (more than I in two weeks). There's only one thing I don't agree with. You have put the images in categories! I think that there's no reason for putting them into categories, because they are inside the articles. But if they were to be in categories, they should be in different ones: i.e. The Aveil image of shouldn't be in Category: Majora's Mask Characters but, for example in Category: Majora's Mask Sprites BTW Have you read the articles I've written (Rauru and Ancient Sages)?--[[User:Arturo|Arturo]] 13:03, 29 January 2006 (EST)
:I think having the images in categories is a good thing. The only thing I want to know is how to customize the image display in the category list, because its overflowing the content area. -[[User:Davogones|davogones]] 13:56, 29 January 2006 (EST)
::You two decide which you prefer, and I'll undo the categorizing if that's what's decided on. I do agree that some of them should be in different catergories that I put them in (if they are to be in categories). I suppose I was mainly experimenting, and knew I'd get a reponse on it possibly saying to undo it. If you two decide that the categories could say, but with some sort of changes to categorization, I can look into where MediaWiki stores the table definition for the gallery.
::What about having screenshots in related "Screenshots" galleries, official artwork in "Official Artwork" galleries, etc?
::Again, if it's decided to remove them, I can run a script to go through an remove them easily.
::(Believe it or not, I haven't had the time to more than skim the Rauru and Ancient Sages; I'll definitely read existing articles in more depth as I work on more articles in depth.) --[[User:Lesoria|Lesoria]] 19:23, 29 January 2006 (EST)

== Japanese TMC names ==

I just wanted to know where you got the Japanese name for June from, because I've been looking for a Japanese resource for completing my translation tables of the other articles. I see that you have been very busy on the site so far, which is great! Only Davgones, Arturo, Keirin and me have been actively working on it. --[[User:Iron Knuckle|Iron Knuckle]] 10:45, 30 January 2006 (EST)

:I have a translation table written down on paper -- I should type it all up and put it in my [[User:Lesoria/Sandbox|sandbox]] so anyone can use it as well. But I have a busy schedule at the moment, so I can't just yet. As soon as I get it typed up and put up, I'll let you know! --[[User:Lesoria|Lesoria]] 20:30, 30 January 2006 (EST)

Oh, thanks a lot. I have similar table for the TWW, but it excludes the Japanese names. I can put it up, if you (and the other members) find it useful. BTW, do you have the Japanese game; or did you find those names from some different resource, if I may ask?--[[User:Iron Knuckle|Iron Knuckle]] 03:58, 31 January 2006 (EST)

:I don't have the Japanese version, but I've borrowed it and played through, taking notes on names as I went through (as well as getting names from various friends in conversations about the name), all written up in a notebook. Unfortunately, my writing's sloppy, so it's hard to read sometimes...
:If you make your list available in some way, I can fill in all the Japanese names.
: --[[User:Lesoria|Lesoria]] 04:01, 31 January 2006 (EST)

Do you know Japanese well enough to translate it? -[[User:Davogones|davogones]] 20:19, 1 February 2006 (EST)

Yup. I might make minor mistakes, but those are the same kinds of mistakes I might make with English, just little things. For example, if a character's Japanese name is "Atukko", and the English is "Atook", I might accidentally translate the Japanese as "Atuuko" -- obviously I was tooking at the double-vowel in the English and carried that over to the Japanese by mistake. My reading of hiragana and katakana are solid, though. And I can read and comprehend a good deal of kanji, too: about 25 kanji characters =D 25 down, 10,000 left to learn...

--[[User:Lesoria|Lesoria]] 03:37, 2 February 2006 (EST)

==La, la, la, la==

You can remove "la" from la gran Hada and the italian name it just means the in Spanish and Italian.--[[User:Arturo|Arturo]] 16:37, 1 February 2006 (EST)

==Great fairies==

There is a mistake with the Great Fairy. While the English and Italian are in singular, the Spanish and French are in plural. Although I'm not sure, I think the German is in singular too.--[[User:Arturo|Arturo]] 11:53, 2 February 2006 (EST)

I took the text from where a Deku Scrub says it captured a Great Fairy. Unfortunately, I don't Spanish or French very well, but if I get a chance, I'll look through the game dialogue and see if I can find singular versions. --[[User:Lesoria|Lesoria]] 12:08, 2 February 2006 (EST)

I would have corrected it by myself, but I'm not very confident on my memory. I think that in Spanish it's "Gran Hada". Remember, if you have any problems with Spanish (or Italian, because they are really similar) ask me.--[[User:Arturo|Arturo]] 13:27, 2 February 2006 (EST)

== Email ==

Did you get my email, Lesoria? I sent it to your gmail account. -[[User:Davogones|davogones]] 13:18, 4 February 2006 (EST)

Actually, I don't use e-mail ^_^;; The e-mail address used to sign up here was used simply because an e-mail address is required to sign up. Outside of wiki's, I've kept myself pretty much unavaiable for anyone to contact about anything. (Getting to know people always ends in trouble for me, so I avoid e-mail, IM, etc.) --[[User:Lesoria|Lesoria]] 19:34, 4 February 2006 (EST)

:Erm, do me a favor and check your email just this once, please? -[[User:Davogones|davogones]] 00:52, 5 February 2006 (EST)

::Actually, it's kinda' not my e-mail address. It's owned someone close to me, and he checks it about once every two to six months. I'm that impossible to contact =P --[[User:Lesoria|Lesoria]] 02:52, 5 February 2006 (EST)

:::In that case I'll just thank you here for the sprite sheets you have uploaded so far on zeldalegends.net. They are great! I hope to see more of them in the future. I don't think you would mind if I would add some of the pictures at the bestiary? Because we don't have any FSA sprites for it yet; it just says 'tick'.--[[User:Iron Knuckle|Iron Knuckle]] 04:40, 5 February 2006 (EST)

::::I actually wanted to upload the sprite sheets into a "FSA Sprites" category, but 1) there isn't one that I call recall, and 2) I wouldn't have the ability to upload them there if there was such a category. I uploaded them there so anyone can use them for anything. Unfortunately, my extraction program doeesn't deal with alpha-transparency properly (yet!), but that doesn't apply to the sprites I uploaded. The FSA Link uploaded to the wiki, and perhaps one or two others, however, do suffer from lack of alpha-transparency, and I hope to re-upload those once my extraction script has improved. I just wish, wish, WISH I could find where/how the game stores the sprites for other characters and monsters! I want that Malon sprite! --[[User:Lesoria|Lesoria]] 12:34, 5 February 2006 (EST)

:::::You could make a FSA Sprites category in the gallery if you were staff. *hint hint* --[[User:Davogones|davogones]] 15:09, 10 February 2006 (EST)

:::::In the interest of not causing any conflicts (see comments at [http://gallery.zeldalegends.net/displayimage.php?pos=-10658]), maybe I should get at least enough power to move the sprites into such a category. I think Ricky misunderstood that I created artwork when it's actually just a sprite rip, but still it's probably best if I reluctantly accept power =P I wonder if Ganondorf had it this easy. Er, not that I'm planning on taking [[Triforce|anything]] were I in power. Now, where is that [[Zelda|kid]] with the [[The Ocarina of Time|ocarina]]... --[[User:Lesoria|Lesoria]] 14:23, 12 February 2006 (EST)

==Zelda article==

I have written almost all the Zelda in OoT section. There's only one thing I cannot write. That's the Physical description of the Princess. Since I'm not very good at describing in my own language (Spanish), I can't do it in English. Could you please write it??
P.S. When you can, please write the NES sections. We need to write those articles as soon as possible.
--[[User:Arturo|Arturo]] 17:17, 4 February 2006 (EST)

Sure, I'll tackle it when I can. I've been busy working on improving my programs for extracting Gamecube sprites, and am still trying to find Malon's FSA sprite, but I should be due for a break within the following week.

Not that I'm all that great at writing flavorful descriptions, but practice makes perfe--er, practice means more and more writing which might not be that great =P

--[[User:Lesoria|Lesoria]] 19:41, 4 February 2006 (EST)

==Staff==
Since you're so adamant about being impossible to contact by e-mail, I'll have to ask you publicly. Would you like to be part of the Zelda Legends staff? Or at least a sysop on the wiki? I'm very impressed by your work. -[[User:Davogones|davogones]] 05:47, 5 February 2006 (EST)

:Even though I've done a lot of work here, it's still a lot less than others who've been here longer, as I've only been here a short time. It'd be best to wait until I've been here longer before I consider such positioning. Of course, if you up my abilities on the wiki, I won't complain. (Just don't let me anywhere near the main site's pages. I'm deadly when it comes to improper HTML. Showing me a poorly structured page is like Link in OoT smacking around a Cucco, if you know what I mean.) --[[User:Lesoria|Lesoria]] 12:43, 5 February 2006 (EST)
::Proportionally speaking, you've done quite a lot already. I'd trust you completely as a staff member. I'll make you a sysop on the wiki for now. Feel free to make wild and crazy changes, as long as you run them by me first. -[[User:Davogones|davogones]] 14:01, 5 February 2006 (EST)

== Renaming dungeons ==

I don't agree with the renaming of dungeons, i.e. "Spirit's Grave" to "Spirit's Grave Dungeon." If you play the game and enter the level, the name given is "Spirit's Grave," not "Spirit's Grave Dungeon." --[[User:Davogones|davogones]] 12:42, 7 February 2006 (EST)

:All right, I'll change those back, if it hasn't been done already. --[[User:Lesoria|Lesoria]] 16:38, 8 February 2006 (EST)

The following I have not moved back, as I'd like feedback on if they should be moved back:
;Sword and Shield Maze -> Sword & Shield Maze
:Which is the proper name according to the game it's in?

--[[User:Lesoria|Lesoria]] 17:02, 8 February 2006 (EST)

::The proper name is "Sword & Shield Maze." The "and" version should redirect. You should download the text dumps off the site so you can check stuff like this. BTW, I also think moving "Boot" to "Winged Boot" is a mistake. I don't think the games ever call them "Winged Boots." --[[User:Davogones|davogones]] 20:42, 8 February 2006 (EST)

:::Ah, right, I must have been thinking of the Japanese version, or something. Actually, the Japanese version doesn't call it that, either. Bah, I need to wipe out my memory and reprogram it from scratch. Maybe write a program to parse all game text, then scan game manuals as secondary reference. I probably have memories from guides conflicting with canon sources horribly. --[[User:Lesoria|Lesoria]] 21:23, 8 February 2006 (EST)

==Japanese translation==

Hello Lesoria, since you can speak Japanese much better than I (I don't speak any), could you translate this for me? 森のメヌエット It's suppsosed to mean [[Minuet of Forest]]. Could you also look for the Japanese name of the [[Ancient Sages]]? BTW Congratulations, now tou are a sysop !--[[User:Arturo|Arturo]] 04:03, 12 February 2006 (EST)

Hi, I am not Lesoria, but I can translate that thing: 森 depictes three trees and means forest, I *think* it is pronounced as 'moto'. As for the rest you would get "moto no MENUETTO". Which makes Minuet of Forest. Here a link to an interesting [http://www.nuthatch.com/kanji/demo/index.html Kanji dictionary]. --[[User:Iron Knuckle|Iron Knuckle]] 05:39, 12 February 2006 (EST)

森 is "mori"; whenever I watch Detective Conan, there's a character whose name I think is "Mouri", but whenever I hear that, I think "Forest!" (even though there's an extra letter in it). I'll add what I have time for to [[OoT Translations]] and perhaps get to more later. --[[User:Lesoria|Lesoria]] 12:43, 12 February 2006 (EST)

Thank you for the translation. One more thing: How do you call the "ancient Sages" in Japanese?--[[User:Arturo|Arturo]] 15:07, 12 February 2006 (EST)

* 賢者の間 Chamber of Sages
* 賢者 = kenjya = sage
* 大昔の賢者 = oomukashi-no kenjya = ancient sage
--[[User:Lesoria|Lesoria]] 15:32, 12 February 2006 (EST)

Thanks, but what I need is the plural, ancient Sage'''s''', although the ancient Sages appear three times in the text dump, the word you wrote appeared just once, when talking about the owl. By the way, could you translate the title transcribe the title Princess of Destiny. (the Japanese is in the article). yes, I should learn Japanese instead of asking you, but... three languages are enough for me. On the other hand european languages are no problem for me (most of them are simillar to Spanish, only German and English are different). (anyway I've written the translation you've given me)
--[[User:Arturo|Arturo]] 16:45, 14 February 2006 (EST)

There is not really a plural form in Japanese, at least in most cases it is never used.--[[User:Iron Knuckle|Iron Knuckle]] 17:16, 14 February 2006 (EST)

==Sprite updates?==
Hi Lesoria,

Have you been able to extract some more of those FSA sprites? I know the site is pretty much dead lately and I plan to start working on it in less than a month time, but I was just curious about any progressions at all. --[[User:Iron Knuckle|Iron Knuckle]] 08:58, 30 May 2006 (EDT)

:I'm afraid I haven't had time for programming of my own. I'm now away from home sixty hour weeks programming, and my weekends are ''normally'' spent out of the house. I tend to have two hours a day around home without anything I need to do, and I spend this time reading. But I'm enjoying life, and monetarily I'm going to be set for some time. I hope I'll find more time to work with FSA sprites, but my GameCube has been being borrowed for a long time now, and a lot of sprites I need to confirm on how they are pieced together and which color schemes are the correct ones. <nowiki>~~</nowiki>[[User:Lesoria|Lesoria]] 18:43, 10 June 2006 (EDT)

==Move Page==

Could you please move Time Line to Timeline? Arturo (I would put my signature, but this computer has everything messed up)

Timeline

2006-07-16T19:52:14Z

Arturo: Multiple and Single Links are not Timeline theories. And Multiple Link is not a theory , but a fact.

The time line of the Legend of Zelda series has always been a source of controversy.

The timeline is a list of when events of each game occured in chronological order. There are many theories on what the true timeline, and even heated debates occure on the order within each theory. Below some of the popular theories.

* Split Timeline Theory: Timeline splits after OoT in two Timelines: a Child one and an Adult one.
* Single Timeline Theory
* Multiple Timeline Theory: There is not an overall Timeline, a few timelines. Example: LoZ-AoL; TMC-FS-FSA

Sheikah

2006-06-17T12:26:46Z

Arturo: /* Where does the Sheikah race come from? */

Of all the races in OoT the most mysterious is the Sheikah. The Sheikah or "shadow folk" are nearly extinct when OoT takes place.

==Description==

===Ocarina of Time===

Not much is known about the Sheikahs. They are sometimes called the "shadow folk". The Sheikahs are nothing more than a legend for most [[Hylian|Hylians]]. They might be a dark version of Hylians, since they're called the shadows of Hylians. This Hylians' "dark side" seems to have different powers. They have red eyes and are extremely agile and fast, and seem to be always prepared for war. They can also disappear by blinding the enemy with a magic that may well be a normal [[Deku Nut]] or something else.

From what is told about them, Sheikahs seem to be mainly warriors. They swore allegiance to the King of Hyrule, and disappeared slowly once the war finished. As a Gossip Stone says, it is said that they have died out.

They possibly were the protectors of the [[Royal Family (Hyrule)|Royal Family]] during the civil Hyrulean War, as their connection with the royal family is really strong. They have also served as attendants for the royalty since ancient times.

Although they were the founders of [[Kakariko Village]] but, since [[Impa]] opened it to common people, they haven't been seen there anymore (except for Impa). Why Impa opened the village to non-Sheikah people, is not known, but it might be because they had all died out.

Another Sheikah function is to protect the royal [[Graveyard|graveyard]], to watch over the spirits. It's also possible that they keep the graveyard even after death.

[[Image:Sheikah_symbol.jpg|left]] Sheikahs symbol is an eye with three triangles above it and a big tear. The meaning of this symbol is rather confusing although it can be interpreted that the eye is a symbol of truth, a noun many times asociated to the shadow folk. The three triangles may symbolize the sacred [[Triforce]], that they protect. It might also have a relationship with the triangle-shaped make-up Impa wears below her eyes. The meaning of the tear is much more obscure. Another possible interpreation is that the whole symbol is the [[Lens of Truth]], since they resemble each other a lot.

It's also curious how fast do the Hylians identify someone as a Sheikah, even though there are no objective differences (except for the red eyes). This happens when Zelda and Impa escape from the [[Hyrule Castle Town]], some of the people identify the woman with Zelda as a Sheikah.

===Majora's Mask===

Sheikahs are only mentioned once in MM: when Link finds the [[Mask of Truth]] it is said that the Sheikah people have talked Link about it.

==Famous Sheikah==

Not many Sheikah are known. In fact, strictly speaking, there's only one Sheikah in the game. This Sheikah is Zelda's nanny, Impa. Sheik can also be identified as a Sheikah, even though she's Zelda. It can also be speculated that the [[Composer Brothers]], the Skulltula family and the man who could see truth also were Sheikahs.

===Impa===

[[Image:Impa_oot.jpg|left|100px]]Impa is [[Zelda|Zelda's]] attendant, and is rumoured to be one of the Sheikah. This is confirmed by Impa herself, who always claims to be one of the Sheikah. One, not the only. As the Princess' attendant, she hides her somewhere (maybe in an unknown Sheikah community) and (presumably) teaches her Sheikah magic.

As the leader of Kakariko Village and the [[Sage of Shadow]], she is the person who protects the Sheikah village. Most of her deeds are related to the town. She is called "the great Impa" and is said to have had the village opened to common people. The uncommon people that lived before are almost certainly the Sheikah. The cause why they disappear, might be the long period of peace. She also opens houses to those homeless that have lived in Hyrule Castle Town.

She seals the evil spirit [[Bongo Bongo]] in the [[Bottom of the Well]] and, after it's released, she goes to the [[Shadow Temple]] where she awakens as the [[Sage of Shadow]].

===Sheik===

[[Image:Sheik.jpg|left|100px]]Although Zelda is not be a real Sheikah, Sheik, as Zelda's disguise, can be considered a Sheikah. Even his name comes from the shadow folk. He claims to be "Survivor of the Sheikahs" from what it can be concluded that all the Sheikahs died in the past seven years.

He knows lots of Sheikah legends that come from the times of, at least, the [[Ancient Sages]]. Another thing that points up his relationship with the Sheikah people is his domain of the magic of disappeareance.

===Composer Brothers===

The Composer Brother were born in Kakariko village and served the [[King of Hyrule]] until [[Ganondorf]] wanted to steal their works. After that, they both died, keeping their research in secret.

Although it's never stated in the game, it is really possible that both composers were from the shadow folk. That's because both of them:

*Claim to have been born in Kakariko Village and are buried in the Graveyard.

*Were servants of the king.

*Although they must have died really recently, since they know Ganondorf and Princess Zelda, they say that all the people of the village are born to serve the king, while no-one says it anymore in the present.

*They still protect their researchs after death.

Because of this evidence, they must be classified as ones of the last Sheikahs in Hyrule. And I've we accept they were Sheikah, we also have to accept their ressults as a Sheikah invention: the [[Sun's Song]] is Sheikah.

===The Skulltula family===

This strange family used to be fabulously rich.They were so rich that they were known even in [[Zora's Domain]]. But this family was cursed because of their greed, being converted into spiders. The only way to return them to original was to kill all 100 [[Skulltula|Golden Skulltulas]].

Although there is no reason that suggests that this family was from the Sheikah tribe, from the context, it's very possible, since they lived in Kakariko Village ages ago, when it had not been opened to common people yet.

===The man who could see truth===

This man once lived in the place where the Kakariko's well is. He was said to be able to see the truth somehow, in a strange way. He didn't use tthe eye of mind, but magic. That magic was the [[Lens of Truth]]. Truth is continuosly asocciated with the Sheikah folk, and he lived in Kakariko Village ages ago. From this, it can be cconcluded that this mysterious man was a Sheikah.

==Sheikah inventions==

The shadow folk invented some of the items and songs in OoT. Two of them are clearly asocciated with truth, and one of them is even considered sacred.

===Sun's Song===

[[Image:Sun's_song.jpg|left]] The [[Sun's Song]] is the only known song that has been created by a Sheikah (excluding the warp songs). This song was originally two different songs--one to summon the sun, the other to summon the moon--but both Royal Composers came to the same conclusion just before death (presumably ordered by Ganondorf). This was the latest Sheikah invention. As a signal of the loyalty of the Sheikahs to the Royal Family, the song was handwritten on the royal tombstone.

The power of this song doesn't seem to be from the Sheikah folk, but to come from the mystic powers of the Royal Family. Apart from its main function, changing the day into night and all the way round, it can also destroy the power of darkness, freezing the lurkers of the darkness, the [[ReDead]]s.

===Lens of Truth===

[[Image:Lensoftruth.jpg|left]] The truth is continuosly asocciated with the shadow folk, and the eye of truth, how the Lens of Truth is called many times, is a paradigm of this obsession. The feeling of Sheikahs is that the eyes don't tell the truth. For this cause they created this magical instrument, that can see all those things that are hidden. If it's assumed that the [[Shadow Temple]] was constructed by them, it can be concluded that they used the eye of truth and knew it. But this conclusion is not so straightforward, since the legend only speaks of a man being able to see truth. This obstacle can be avoided by thinking that this man may have been the last holder of this instrument.

It's very curious the extreme resmblance between the lens and the Sheikah symbol: they both have the eye, the three triangles and the tear.

===Mask of Truth and Gossip Stones===

[[Image:MaskTruthArt_OoT.jpg|left]]The Mask of Truth is clearly asocciated with the shadow folk. Not only it repeats the topic of truth but bears a variant of the Sheikah symbol. It's said to be able to read the other's people minds, and some people have strange reactions with its sight. Although in OoT Link cannot use it to read the other's minds, in MM Link can usemit to read animal's feelings.

[[Image:Gossipstone.jpg|right|200px]]
But the main use of this mask is to read the one-eyed statues called [[Gossip Stone|Gossip Stones]]. This statues bear the symbol of the shadow folk, so it should be assumed that they are a Sheikah creation. This statue has a special power to pierce people's mind, and can remember things that it has overheard.

The Gossip Stones (as said in TWW) are a property of the Royal Family, as are the Sheikah folk. This statues repeat the topic of truth. It seems that they, Sheikahs, have only two objectives in life: truth and serve the king.

===Hover Boots===

Although it's never stated the [[Hover Boots]] are a Sheikah item, since they are found in the Shadow Temple, it can be assumed they are. This boots seem to use an strange kind of magic, and they are said to be "mysterious". But the most special thing of this boots is that they are labelled many times as "sacred feet". What this means is really uncertain.

==Where does the Sheikah race come from?==

This is a quite difficult question. Although it may seem that they were created by the [[Golden Goddesses]], there some details that suggest they are a different thing:

*Although there doesn't seem to be any physical difference them and the Hylians, they identify the shadow folk immediately.

*Their main function is to serve and protect the king.

*Although they certainly are very ancient, they are constantly asocciated with war, and disappear in times of peace.

*They are called the "shadows of Hylians"

*They're believed to be a legend by most people.

*They have always been very few, since Kakariko Village was much smaller before Impa opened it to common people.

From this hints, it may be concluded that this race was created by the Royal Family, just to serve them. Although they are intelligent, think and act for themselves, they are extremely loyal to the crown. The fact that they tend to disappear after wars could mean that they are never needed during peace. Only Impa is needed, to look after the Princess. It's also significant that a person can transform into a Sheikah, as does Zelda. Another hint, this coming from TWW, is that Gossip Stones are considered a property of the Royal Family. If it's assumed that in OoT the Gossip Stones are a creation of the Sheikahs, the only possible answer for them to be a property of the king is that Sheikahs themselves belong to the Royal Family.

==Miscellaneous Notes==

===Sheikah, the Spanish===
There's a strange mistake in the Spanish translation of MM. When Link gets the Mask of Truth, it says:

¡Es la misma máscara de la que
hablaba Sheikah!

This means: "It's the same mask Sheikah spoke of!", that is the translation thought Sheikah was a person.

===The Sheikah symbol in TWW===

[[Image:Sheikah_TWW.jpg|left]]In [[Forsaken Fortress]], at the door of the place where [[Ganondorf]] dwells, a version of the Sheikah symbol can be seen. Although the tear is bigger and the eye smaller, it's clearly the same symbol. What a Sheikah symbol is doing there, it's a mystery.

==Relevant Quotes==

===OoT===

*Old man in blue, Hyrule Castle Town:

Have you heard the legend of the "Shadow Folk"?
They are the Sheikah...the shadows of the Hylians.
They say they swore allegiance to the King of
Hyrule and guarded the Royal Family.
But with the long peace, no on has seen a Sheikah
around here for a long time.
However...
I heard there is one Sheikah woman living in the
castle...

The one riding on the white horse holding the
little girl...
Wasn't that a legendary Sheikah?

*Inscription on the largest tombstone in the Graveyard:

R.I.P.
Here lies the souls of those who
swore fealty to the
Royal Family of Hyrule.
The Sheikah, guardians of the
Royal Family and founders of
Kakariko, watch over these spirits
in their eternal slumber.

*One of the Composer Brothers:

All the people in this village are born to serve
the Royal Family of Hyrule.

*Sheik, the first time Link meets him:

This is the legend of the temples passed down by
my people, the Sheikah.
I am Sheik.
Survivor of the Sheikahs...

*Impa, when she awakens as a Sage:

I am Impa, one of the Sheikah. I am Princess
Zelda's caretaker, and I am also the Sage who
guards the Shadow Temple.
We Sheikah have served the royalty of Hyrule from
generation to generation as attendants.

*Sheik, when Link meets him after having awakened the Six Sages:

I have been waiting for you, Link.
Link, the Hero of Time...
You have overcome many hardships and awakened six
Sages.
And now you have a final challenge, a showdown
with Ganondorf, the King of Evil....
Before that... I have things I want to tell only
to you. Please listen.
Another unknown legend of the Triforce passed down
by the shadow folk, the Sheikahs....
If you would seek the sacred triangle, listen
well...
The resting place of the sacred triangle, the
Sacred Realm, is a mirror that reflects what is in
the heart...
the heart of one who enters it...
If an evil heart, the Realm will become full of
evil; if pure, the Realm will become a paradise.
The Triforce...the sacred triangle...
it is a balance that weighs the three forces:
Power, Wisdom and Courage.
If the heart of the one who holds the sacred
triangle has all three forces in balance, that one
will gain the True Force to govern all.
But, if that one's heart is not in balance, the
Triforce will separate into three parts:
Power, Wisdom and Courage.
Only one part will remain for the one who touched
the Triforce...the part representing the force
that one most believes in.
If that one seeks the True Force, that one must
acquire the two lost parts.
Those two parts will be held within others chosen
by destiny, who will bear the Triforce mark on the
backs of their hands.

*Zelda, after revealing her:

I passed myself off as a Sheikah and hoped that
you would return. I waited for seven years...

*Gossip Stone in Zora's River:

They say that Princess Zelda's nanny is actually
one of the Sheikah, who many thought had died out.

===MM===

*Message when Link gets the Mask of Truth:

You got the Mask of Truth!
This is the same mask the Sheikah
spoke of!

This mask allows you to hear and
understand the wisdom of Gossip
Stones and the thoughts of

Sheikah

2006-06-17T12:22:42Z

Arturo: /* Famous Sheikah */

Of all the races in OoT the most mysterious is the Sheikah. The Sheikah or "shadow folk" are nearly extinct when OoT takes place.

==Description==

===Ocarina of Time===

Not much is known about the Sheikahs. They are sometimes called the "shadow folk". The Sheikahs are nothing more than a legend for most [[Hylian|Hylians]]. They might be a dark version of Hylians, since they're called the shadows of Hylians. This Hylians' "dark side" seems to have different powers. They have red eyes and are extremely agile and fast, and seem to be always prepared for war. They can also disappear by blinding the enemy with a magic that may well be a normal [[Deku Nut]] or something else.

From what is told about them, Sheikahs seem to be mainly warriors. They swore allegiance to the King of Hyrule, and disappeared slowly once the war finished. As a Gossip Stone says, it is said that they have died out.

They possibly were the protectors of the [[Royal Family (Hyrule)|Royal Family]] during the civil Hyrulean War, as their connection with the royal family is really strong. They have also served as attendants for the royalty since ancient times.

Although they were the founders of [[Kakariko Village]] but, since [[Impa]] opened it to common people, they haven't been seen there anymore (except for Impa). Why Impa opened the village to non-Sheikah people, is not known, but it might be because they had all died out.

Another Sheikah function is to protect the royal [[Graveyard|graveyard]], to watch over the spirits. It's also possible that they keep the graveyard even after death.

[[Image:Sheikah_symbol.jpg|left]] Sheikahs symbol is an eye with three triangles above it and a big tear. The meaning of this symbol is rather confusing although it can be interpreted that the eye is a symbol of truth, a noun many times asociated to the shadow folk. The three triangles may symbolize the sacred [[Triforce]], that they protect. It might also have a relationship with the triangle-shaped make-up Impa wears below her eyes. The meaning of the tear is much more obscure. Another possible interpreation is that the whole symbol is the [[Lens of Truth]], since they resemble each other a lot.

It's also curious how fast do the Hylians identify someone as a Sheikah, even though there are no objective differences (except for the red eyes). This happens when Zelda and Impa escape from the [[Hyrule Castle Town]], some of the people identify the woman with Zelda as a Sheikah.

===Majora's Mask===

Sheikahs are only mentioned once in MM: when Link finds the [[Mask of Truth]] it is said that the Sheikah people have talked Link about it.

==Famous Sheikah==

Not many Sheikah are known. In fact, strictly speaking, there's only one Sheikah in the game. This Sheikah is Zelda's nanny, Impa. Sheik can also be identified as a Sheikah, even though she's Zelda. It can also be speculated that the [[Composer Brothers]], the Skulltula family and the man who could see truth also were Sheikahs.

===Impa===

[[Image:Impa_oot.jpg|left|100px]]Impa is [[Zelda|Zelda's]] attendant, and is rumoured to be one of the Sheikah. This is confirmed by Impa herself, who always claims to be one of the Sheikah. One, not the only. As the Princess' attendant, she hides her somewhere (maybe in an unknown Sheikah community) and (presumably) teaches her Sheikah magic.

As the leader of Kakariko Village and the [[Sage of Shadow]], she is the person who protects the Sheikah village. Most of her deeds are related to the town. She is called "the great Impa" and is said to have had the village opened to common people. The uncommon people that lived before are almost certainly the Sheikah. The cause why they disappear, might be the long period of peace. She also opens houses to those homeless that have lived in Hyrule Castle Town.

She seals the evil spirit [[Bongo Bongo]] in the [[Bottom of the Well]] and, after it's released, she goes to the [[Shadow Temple]] where she awakens as the [[Sage of Shadow]].

===Sheik===

[[Image:Sheik.jpg|left|100px]]Although Zelda is not be a real Sheikah, Sheik, as Zelda's disguise, can be considered a Sheikah. Even his name comes from the shadow folk. He claims to be "Survivor of the Sheikahs" from what it can be concluded that all the Sheikahs died in the past seven years.

He knows lots of Sheikah legends that come from the times of, at least, the [[Ancient Sages]]. Another thing that points up his relationship with the Sheikah people is his domain of the magic of disappeareance.

===Composer Brothers===

The Composer Brother were born in Kakariko village and served the [[King of Hyrule]] until [[Ganondorf]] wanted to steal their works. After that, they both died, keeping their research in secret.

Although it's never stated in the game, it is really possible that both composers were from the shadow folk. That's because both of them:

*Claim to have been born in Kakariko Village and are buried in the Graveyard.

*Were servants of the king.

*Although they must have died really recently, since they know Ganondorf and Princess Zelda, they say that all the people of the village are born to serve the king, while no-one says it anymore in the present.

*They still protect their researchs after death.

Because of this evidence, they must be classified as ones of the last Sheikahs in Hyrule. And I've we accept they were Sheikah, we also have to accept their ressults as a Sheikah invention: the [[Sun's Song]] is Sheikah.

===The Skulltula family===

This strange family used to be fabulously rich.They were so rich that they were known even in [[Zora's Domain]]. But this family was cursed because of their greed, being converted into spiders. The only way to return them to original was to kill all 100 [[Skulltula|Golden Skulltulas]].

Although there is no reason that suggests that this family was from the Sheikah tribe, from the context, it's very possible, since they lived in Kakariko Village ages ago, when it had not been opened to common people yet.

===The man who could see truth===

This man once lived in the place where the Kakariko's well is. He was said to be able to see the truth somehow, in a strange way. He didn't use tthe eye of mind, but magic. That magic was the [[Lens of Truth]]. Truth is continuosly asocciated with the Sheikah folk, and he lived in Kakariko Village ages ago. From this, it can be cconcluded that this mysterious man was a Sheikah.

==Sheikah inventions==

The shadow folk invented some of the items and songs in OoT. Two of them are clearly asocciated with truth, and one of them is even considered sacred.

===Sun's Song===

[[Image:Sun's_song.jpg|left]] The [[Sun's Song]] is the only known song that has been created by a Sheikah (excluding the warp songs). This song was originally two different songs--one to summon the sun, the other to summon the moon--but both Royal Composers came to the same conclusion just before death (presumably ordered by Ganondorf). This was the latest Sheikah invention. As a signal of the loyalty of the Sheikahs to the Royal Family, the song was handwritten on the royal tombstone.

The power of this song doesn't seem to be from the Sheikah folk, but to come from the mystic powers of the Royal Family. Apart from its main function, changing the day into night and all the way round, it can also destroy the power of darkness, freezing the lurkers of the darkness, the [[ReDead]]s.

===Lens of Truth===

[[Image:Lensoftruth.jpg|left]] The truth is continuosly asocciated with the shadow folk, and the eye of truth, how the Lens of Truth is called many times, is a paradigm of this obsession. The feeling of Sheikahs is that the eyes don't tell the truth. For this cause they created this magical instrument, that can see all those things that are hidden. If it's assumed that the [[Shadow Temple]] was constructed by them, it can be concluded that they used the eye of truth and knew it. But this conclusion is not so straightforward, since the legend only speaks of a man being able to see truth. This obstacle can be avoided by thinking that this man may have been the last holder of this instrument.

It's very curious the extreme resmblance between the lens and the Sheikah symbol: they both have the eye, the three triangles and the tear.

===Mask of Truth and Gossip Stones===

[[Image:MaskTruthArt_OoT.jpg|left]]The Mask of Truth is clearly asocciated with the shadow folk. Not only it repeats the topic of truth but bears a variant of the Sheikah symbol. It's said to be able to read the other's people minds, and some people have strange reactions with its sight. Although in OoT Link cannot use it to read the other's minds, in MM Link can usemit to read animal's feelings.

[[Image:Gossipstone.jpg|right|200px]]
But the main use of this mask is to read the one-eyed statues called [[Gossip Stone|Gossip Stones]]. This statues bear the symbol of the shadow folk, so it should be assumed that they are a Sheikah creation. This statue has a special power to pierce people's mind, and can remember things that it has overheard.

The Gossip Stones (as said in TWW) are a property of the Royal Family, as are the Sheikah folk. This statues repeat the topic of truth. It seems that they, Sheikahs, have only two objectives in life: truth and serve the king.

===Hover Boots===

Although it's never stated the [[Hover Boots]] are a Sheikah item, since they are found in the Shadow Temple, it can be assumed they are. This boots seem to use an strange kind of magic, and they are said to be "mysterious". But the most special thing of this boots is that they are labelled many times as "sacred feet". What this means is really uncertain.

==Where does the Sheikah race come from?==

This is a quite difficult question. Although it may seem that they were created by the [[Golden Goddesses]], there some details that suggest they are a different thing:

*Although there doesn't seem to be any physical difference them and the Hylians, they identify the shadow folk immediately.

*Their main function is to serve and protect the king.

*Although they certainly are very ancient, they are constantly asocciated with war, and disappear in times of peace.

*They are called the "shadows of Hylians"

*They're believed to be a legend by most people.

*They have always been very few, since Kakariko Village was much smaller before Impa opened it to common people.

From this hints, it may be concluded that this race was created by the Royal Family, just to serve them. Although they are intelligent, think and act for themselves, they are extremely loyal to the crown. The fact that they tend to disappear after wars could mean that they are never needed during peace. Only Impa is needed, to look after the Princess. It's also significant that a person can transform into a Sheikah, as does Zelda. Another hint, this coming from TWW, is that Gossip Stones are considered a property of the Royal Family. If it's assumed that in OoT the Gossip Stones are a creation of the Sheikahs, the only possible answer for them to be a property of the king is that Sheikahs themselves are belong to the Royal Family.

==Miscellaneous Notes==

===Sheikah, the Spanish===
There's a strange mistake in the Spanish translation of MM. When Link gets the Mask of Truth, it says:

¡Es la misma máscara de la que
hablaba Sheikah!

This means: "It's the same mask Sheikah spoke of!", that is the translation thought Sheikah was a person.

===The Sheikah symbol in TWW===

[[Image:Sheikah_TWW.jpg|left]]In [[Forsaken Fortress]], at the door of the place where [[Ganondorf]] dwells, a version of the Sheikah symbol can be seen. Although the tear is bigger and the eye smaller, it's clearly the same symbol. What a Sheikah symbol is doing there, it's a mystery.

Temple of Light

2006-05-07T09:49:41Z

Arturo: I forgot that Evil Realm=Dark World

The Temple of Light is the only known place in the [[Sacred Realm]] in OoT. It's also the place where the [[Six Sages]] remain, where their powers increase.

==Description==

[[Image:Rauru.gif|left|200px]]Very little is known about the Temple of Light. [[Link]] only visits it six times. The best (and only) known place of this Temple is the [[Chamber of Sages]]. From this room, the [[Six Sages]] can gather their powers to seal the Evil King [[Ganondorf]].

The Temple of Light is situated in the very centre of the [[Sacred Realm]] and the resting place of the [[Triforce]]. Its power seems great, since it can resist magically to Ganondorf's evil monsters, that have already conquered both [[Hyrule]] and the Sacred Realm. This Temple is controlled by its only known inhabitant, [[Rauru (Sage)|Rauru]], the [[Sage of Light]].

==The construction of the temple==

Although many assume that Rauru (or the [[Ancient Sages]]) was the builder of the Temple of Light, there is no reason to even think that it has been built, since the Chamber of Sages doesn't look to be a normal construction. A clue for how the temple was As Zelda says:

The resting place of the sacred triangle, the
Sacred Realm, is a mirror that reflects what is in
the heart...
the heart of one who enters it...
If an evil heart, the Realm will become full of
evil; if pure, the Realm will become a paradise.

Maybe the Temple is nothing more than the reflection of Rauru's (or Link's) heart. But this raises more questions: Why doesn't the Temple change when Ganondorf enters to the Realm? Why doesn't it change when each Sage is awakened an appears in the Chamber of Sages?

Because of this problems, this possibility can be ruled out. The power of the Triforce might be the solution: although many assume it was never used before Ganondorf takes it, it's possible that the Ancient Sages, after building the [[Temple of Time]], also used the power of the Triforce to create a place where it would remain forever.

==Has Ganon ever lived inside the Temple of Light?==

After [[Ganondorf]] got the [[Triforce]] in OoT, the [[Sacred Realm]] converted into a world of monsters. After that, the [[Seven Sages]] sealed him inside the [[Evil Realm]], what the Sacred Realm had become. This Evil Realm is the same [[Dark World]] from ALttP. Because the Light Temple was built using the power of Triforce, it would have remained there, in the very centre of the Sacred Realm. And it is very possible that it's still there, that the [[Pyramid of Power]] is nothing more than the Temple of Light.

There are several reasons to think so:

*The Temple of Light is in the very centre of the Sacred Realm, the Pyramid of Power is in the centre of the Dark World

*Ganondorf finds the Triforce inside of the Temple in OoT, Link finds it in ALttP inside of the Pyramid

*Pyramids are a solar symbol by excellence, they even were treated as the petrified '''light''' rays.

From this a history of the Temple of Light can be reconstruted: After Ganondorf is sealed into the void of the Evil Realm, a world, similar in all to Hyrule is created because of Ganon's evil heart reflected in the Realm. But he cannot conquer the Temple of Light, so he builds a [[Ganon's Tower|tower]] in [[Death Mountain]], from where he is able to conquer the place where the Triforce rested, and convert it into the Pyramid of Power, where he would face Link.

==Relevant quotes==

*Rauru, the first time Link meets him:

Link...
Wake up...
Link, the chosen one...
I am Rauru, one of the ancient Sages...
Ages ago, we ancient Sages built the Temple of
Time to protect the entrance to the Sacred Realm...
This is the Chamber of Sages, inside the Temple of
Light...
The Temple of Light, situated in the very center
of the Sacred Realm, is the last stronghold
against Ganondorf's evil forces.
The Master Sword--the evil-destroying sword that
you pulled out of the Pedestal of Time--was the
final key to the Sacred Realm.
[...]The Master Sword is a sacred blade which evil
ones may never touch...
Only one worthy of the title of "Hero of Time" can
pull it from the Pedestal of Time....
However, you were too young to be the Hero of
Time...
Therefore, your spirit was sealed here for seven
years.
And now that you are old enough, the time has come
for you to awaken as the Hero of Time!
Well, do you understand your destiny?
But, remember...
Though you opened the Door of Time in the name of
peace...
Ganondorf, the Gerudo King of Thieves, used it to
enter this forbidden Sacred Realm!
He obtained the Triforce from the Temple of Light,
and with its power, he became the King of Evil...
His evil power radiated from the temples of
Hyrule, and in seven short years, it transformed
Hyrule into a world of monsters.
My power now has only little influence, even in
this Sacred Realm...
Namely, this Chamber of Sages.

Princess Zelda in OoT and MM

2006-04-13T12:56:18Z

Arturo: /* Relevant Quotes */ Why didn't I remove the LoZ, AoL and ALttP section?

==Description==
===Ocarina of Time===

The design for Zelda in OoT marks the first [[Image:ZeldaChildArt_OoT.gif|right|120px]]appearance of what would become her common outfit, with later games depicting a Zelda wearing a similair outfit.

The blond-haired, blue-eyed Zelda design continues. As a child, she wears pink over a white dress over a blue, long-sleeved shirt. Rather than a tiara, Zelda wears a cloth hood, with a golden crest featuring a Triforce symbol. Her necklace is gold, but holds a red stone in the center. She also sports a gold belt, and golden bracelets.

As an adult, Zelda wears a golden tiara with a red stone. Her dress is similar in colors, with more blue in place of pink. She wears Triforce-shaped earrings.

Both as a child and an adult, Zelda's outfit bears the mark of the Triforce and the [[Hylia Mark]].

[[Image:Zelda_adult_oot.jpg|left|180px]]Psychologically, Zelda is possibly the most complex character of the series. She is really wise, even before she becomes the holder of the [[Triforce of Wisdom]]. She is, however, quite imprudent, revealing herself as the Seventh Sage in a place where she can be captured (and in fact, is). From her dependance of her attendant [[Impa]], she evolves to become a strong woman able to escape from Ganondorf for seven years, by disguising herself as a man. She becomes a warrior, someone able to fight and do her own heroic deeds. But then, she becomes as weak as she was when she was a child, dependant on the help of Link.

She is a strong leader. Even as a child, she's interested in matters of government. She does everything to protect the beautiful land of [[Hyrule]]. When she introduces herself, she emphasizes her right to the throne: she's not just Zelda, but Zelda, the Princess of Hyrule. She is also highly educated. She knows many (if not all) of the legends of Hyrule; she can write poetry; she can play two instruments, the ocarina and the harp. She is a master of human feelings.

Strong, but weak; wise, but imprudent; sensible, but naïve... Zelda in OoT is a world of contradictions.

===Majora's Mask===

The Zelda of MM is the same as the one of OoT. Her appearance is, because of this, the same as the child Zelda from OoT. The only difference is that she appears just in black and white.

==Biography==

===Ocarina of Time===

====The Princess of Destiny====

Zelda is the beloved only daughter of the (possibly) widow [[King of Hyrule]]. As the true heir to the throne she's been instructed in all the legends of Hyrule, legends she know perfectly. She is entrusted with one of the four keys to the [[Sacred Realm]], [[The Ocarina of Time]].
Since her birth, she has been protected by her muscular attendant, [[Impa]] the [[Sheikah]]. One of her functions was to play the [[Zelda's Lullaby|ancient and mysterious melody passed down the Royal Family]] as a lullaby for the princess. Maybe because of this, she started to have prophetic dreams that were never wrong. The divination powers of the princess were quickly spread in all [[Hyrule Castle Town]].

With one of her prophetic dreams began the disgrace that would befall Hyrule. In her words:

I had a dream... In the dream, dark storm clouds
were billowing over the land of Hyrule...
But suddenly, a ray of light shot out of the
forest, parted the clouds and lit up the ground...
The light turned into a figure holding a green and
shining stone, followed by a fairy...

[[Image:ZeldaChild OoT.png|left|150px]]In her dream she also saw Impa, who had the role of teaching the melody she had used as [[Zelda's Lullaby]] to the boy from the forest. She also was able to understand who the dark clouds represented in the dream, [[Ganondorf|Ganondorf, the leader of the Gerudos]]She told the dream to her father, to whom Ganondorf has swore allegiance, but he didn't believe it was nothing more than a mere dream.

While Zelda is spying Ganondorf through a window, Link arrives to the [[Castle Courtyard]] looking for the [[Princess of Destiny]]. Zelda immediately recognizes him as the forest boy from her dream, and asks him whether he has the [[Kokiri's Emerald|Spiritual Stone of Forest]], the shining green stone of her dream. She tells her what she has dreamed and her suspects about Ganondorf. She plans how to protect the Sacred Realm from Ganondorf, so she commands Link to look for the other two [[Spiritual Stones]] while she protects the Ocarina of Time with all her power. By keeping away the four keys of the [[Door of Time]] from Ganondorf. That way he would never get the [[Triforce]]. She also gives him a [[Zelda's Letter|letter]] to make him be able to go to those places that need royal permission.
When Link gets the other two Spiritual Stones, the [[Goron's Ruby]] and the [[Zora's Sapphire]], Ganondorf attacks the [[Hyrule Castle]]. Because of this, Zelda cannot wait for Link any more and has to flee with her attendant, Impa, to a place where Ganondorf can't reach them. As Link arrives to the entrance to Hyrule Castle Town, he sees Zelda and Impa riding in a white horse escaping from Ganondorf. Not being able to give Link the last key to the Door of Time, she throws the Ocarina of Time to the city moat. After Link meets Ganondorf, he dives into the water, taking the Ocarina of Time, and receiving a telepathical message from Zelda where she appears in front of the altar of the [[Temple of Time]] and teaches Link the [[Song of Time]].

[[Image:Zelda_and_impa.jpg|center|frame|Impa and Zelda escaping from Ganondorf OoT MQ| 120px]]
[[Image:Zelda ocarina.jpg|center|frame|Zelda teaching Link the Song of Time telepathically. OoT MQ]]

When Link pulls out the [[Master Sword]] from the [[Pedestal of Time]] something that Zelda didn't predict. Zelda didn't think that there was a fifth key to the Sacred Realm, the Master Sword, and that Link was the legendary [[Hero of Time]], the only one able to pull the sword from its pedestal. Because Link isn't old enough to be the Hero of Time, his spirit is sealed inside the [[Chamber of Sages]], leaving the entrance to the Sacred Realm open to Ganondorf.

[[Image:Sheik.jpg|right]]

====The Seventh Sage====

It's unknown where Impa and Zelda go after they escape from Ganondorf. It's possible that they stay with an unknown Sheikah community, where she is trained in Sheikah magic and techniques. When Ganonodorf gets the Triforce, the ancient prophecy passed down the shadow folk comes true. Because of Ganondorf's heart being unbalanced, the Triforce turns into three pieces: Power, Wisdom and Courage. While the [[Triforce of Power]] remains with Ganondorf, the other two, the [[Triforce of Wisdom]] and the [[Triforce of Courage]] go to the chosen ones: Zelda and Link. Zelda thus becomes the [[Seventh Sage]], who is destined to be the leader of all them. Using the power of her Triforce, Zelda adopts the disguise of a young Sheikah man, Sheik.

Although it's not known how much time Impa and Sheik stay in exile, presumably Impa went quite early to [[Kakariko Village]], to protect it from Ganondorf. What Sheik does until Link wakes up, it's not known. It's possible that she swore allegiance to Ganondorf in order to be able to act with more freedom. She may have also collaborated with Impa at imprisoning the evil spirit of [[Bongo Bongo]], but this is never mentioned.

After Link wakes up, Sheik appears as a kind of guide for the [[Hero of Time]], It's she who writes the new inscription on the altar of the Temple of Time:
The Ocarina of Time opened the
door. The Hero of Time, with the
Master Sword, descended here.
With her poetry and music, she teaches Link those
things he couldn't learn when he was young. Her poems speak about feelings, young love, friendship... or tell the legends passed down the Sheikah folk, those about the Triforce, the Master Sword, the Sages, The Hero of Time and the temples.

[[Image:ZeldaAdult OoT.png|left|180px]]While Link is in the Temples, Sheik does deeds that counterpart those of Ganondorf: she rescues Rutro from the ice, she takes care of Kakariko Village while Link goes to Shadow Temple... But her most important function is to teach Link the warp melodies of the temples.

The fact that Zelda is mentioned very few times before Sheik takes off her disguise helps to cover the secret. Zelda is only mentioned twice. The first time is when Link awakens [[Ruto (Zora)|Ruto]] as a Sage and she tells Link not to be discouraged, because she feels Zelda is alive. A more specific quote is that of Impa, after awakening as a Sage, where she tells Link that soon he would meet Zelda, and she would explain him everything.

It is curious to see that, of the [[Six Sages]], only Ruto mentions Sheik, but it's known that at least [[Rauru (Sage)|Rauru]] and Impa know her. Of them, Ruto doesn't know who Sheik really is, only Impa seems to know something exact about her.
There is only one in-game clue that suggests that Sheik is Zelda. It comes from a [[Gossip Stone]] and says that Princess Zelda, contrary to her elegant image, is a tomboy!

After Link awakens all the Sages, Rauru contacts with Link telepathically, asking him to go to the [[Temple of Time]], where someone's waiting for him. This person is Sheik. Sheik tells Link an unknown legend passed down the Sheikah folk. A legend about the true nature of the Sacred Realm and the Triforce. She explains Link what happened when Ganondorrf got the golden relic: it divides in its three parts, Power, Wisdom and Courage. While the force Ganondorf trusted more, the [[Triforce of Power]], the [[Triforce of Courage]] went to Link and the [[Triforce of Wisdom]] went to the [[Seventh Sage]].
Then Sheik makes her second and almost fatal mistake: using the Triforce of Wisdom she takes her disguise off, revealing herself to be the Seventh Sage Zelda. Then, she tells Link her plan to defeat Ganondorf. It's quite simple, Link would protect Zelda while she gathers the power of the [[Six Sages]] to seal Ganondorf in the void of the [[Evil Realm]]. For this purpose she gives Link a new weapon, one that can penetrate Ganondorf defenses, the sacred [[Light Arrow|Arrow of Light]].
[[Image:LightArrowGet_OoT.jpg|center]]

Then the temple starts to tremble. It's Ganondorf, who has heard all the conversation between Zelda and Link, so he knows who the holders of the Triforce are. He imprisons Zelda in a pink crystal and tells him to go to [[Ganon's Castle|his castle]] to rescue her.

Now Link's mission is to rescue the princess and that's what the Sages tell him to do. Once Ganondorf, Zelda and Link meet in the same room, the Triforce in their hands' backs shine, starting to recombine. After Link defeats Ganondorf, Zelda's imprisonment disappears, releasing her. She, after explaining Link why Ganondorf has died, she notices that he's trying to crash them inside [[Ganon's Tower|the tower]]. Then she guides Link to escape from there, opening with her magic all the locked doors. Once they are out of the castle, they see how it is destroyed. But they hear a noise. It's Ganondorf, who still has enough power to use the Triforce and transform into a giant pig-like creature [[Ganon]]. After a long battle, Zelda uses her magic against Ganon, holding him while Link finishes the evil incarnation with his now shining Master Sword. Then Zelda creates a yellow energy ball, that is used as a portal for the Six Sages power, sealing him inside the Evil Realm.

In the next scene Link and Zelda appear over the clouds. She apologizes to him and explains how all was a fatal coincidence, how all the disgrace was her fault. Then she asks Link for his Ocarina. For she, as one of the [[Seven Sages]], can return him to his original time by using the Ocarina of Time. He gives her really slowly the Ocarina, after holding hands, and then she plays Zelda's Lullaby, making him return to the past. After the ending sequence it's seen how Link and young Zelda meet again.
 

===Majora's Mask===

The only appearance of Zelda in MM is during a short flashback after he recovers [[The Ocarina of Time]]. She teaches Link the [[Song of Time]]. Zelda is the only person Link remembers from [[Hyrule]] and her name is asocciated with the treasure she gave Link, the [[The Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]].
In the flashback Link remembers how (presumably) since he defeats [[Ganondorf]] at the end of OoT he has lived with Zelda, almost certainly in [[Hyrule Castle]]. But Link has to leave her, in order to find a friend long time gone. She lets him go, giving him the Ocarina of Time, and saying she would pray for him. In MM she's Link's only link to the person he was before.

==Miscellaneous Notes==
===Does she dye her hair?===
[[Image:Zelda_eyebrows_child.jpg|left]]
[[Image:Zelda_eyebrows.jpg|right]]
In OoT there's a curiosity about her sprite, for both child and adult. Their eyebrows are green!
Maybe she forgot to dye her eyebrows... This is not shown in her official artwork, so maybe it's just a mistake of the game designers .

===The healthy and rich princess===
In OoT, when Link and Zelda are escaping from [[Ganon's Tower]] she is once imprisoned by a circle of fire that doesn't disappear until Link defeats the two [[Stalfos]] that appear then. After that, Zelda gives Link three [[Heart|hearts]] to heal him. If he has already alll the hearts full, she throws three [[Rupee|Rupees]].

==Relevant Quotes==

===Ocarina of Time===

*Great Deku Tree, after you destroy the curse:

Link...
Go now to Hyrule Castle...
There, thou will surely meet the Princess of
Destiny...
Take this stone with you.
The stone that man wanted so much, that he cast
the curse on me...

*People in Hyrule Castle Town:

Hey, have you heard that Princess Zelda sees
prophetic visions in her dreams?

Wha-ha-ha! What a crazy guy!
Can you believe that this guy was crazy enough to
try to sneak into the castle to see Princess Zelda?
All because of this idiot, they've tightened
security at the castle.
Wha-ha-ha!

I wanted to see Princess Zelda!
I avoided the guards...
Swam through the moat...
I was almost there when they caught me!
I found a small drain hole on the right side of
the castle that I thought I could sneak into, but
I got stuck there.

*Dancing (male) lover:

Ohh...
You are...
more beautiful...
than Princess Zelda...
Ohh...

*Soldier in front of Hyrule Castle's fence:

So you say you want to see Princess Zelda, eh?
You probably heard about her in town and decided
you had to meet her... Well...
Go home! Get out of here!
The Princess would never grant an audience to the
likes of you!

*Zelda, when you meet her for first time:

!
Who?!
Who are you?
How did you get past the guards?
Oh? What's that?
Is that...
a fairy?!
Then, are you...
Are you from the forest?
Then...then...you wouldn't happen to have... the
Spiritual Stone of the Forest, would you?! That
green and shining stone...
Do you have it?

I had a dream... In the dream, dark storm clouds
were billowing over the land of Hyrule...
But suddenly, a ray of light shot out of the
forest, parted the clouds and lit up the ground...
The light turned into a figure holding a green and
shining stone, followed by a fairy...
I know this is a prophecy that someone would come
from the forest...
Yes, I thought you might be the one...
Oh, I'm sorry!
I got carried away with my story and didn't even
properly introduce myself!
I am Zelda, Princess of Hyrule.

I forgot to tell you...
I was spying through this window just now...
The other element from my dream...the dark
clouds...
I believe they symbolize...
that man in there!
Will you look through the window at him?
Can you see the man with the evil eyes?
That is Ganondorf, the leader of the Gerudos. They
hail from the desert far to the west.
Though he swears allegiance to my father, I am
sure he is not sincere.
The dark clouds that covered Hyrule in my dream...
They must symbolize that man!

I...I am afraid...
I have a feeling that man is going to destroy
Hyrule.
He has such terrifying power!
But it's fortunate that you have come...
We must not let Ganondorf get the Triforce!
I will protect the Ocarina of Time with all my
power!
He shall not have it!
You go find the other two Spiritual Stones!
Let's get the Triforce before Ganondorf does, and
then defeat him!

*Impa, the first time you meet her:

I am Impa of the Sheikahs.
I am responsible for protecting Princess Zelda.
Everything is exactly as the Princess foretold.
You are a courageous boy...
You are heading out on a big, new adventure,
aren't you?
My role in the Princess's dream was to teach a
melody to the one from the forest.
This is an ancient melody passed down by the Royal
Family.
I have played this song for Princess Zelda as a
lullaby ever since she was a baby...

*Soldier guarding the entrance to Death Mountain:

Oh, this is...
This is surely Princess Zelda's handwriting! Well,
let's see...
Hmmm... OK...
"This is Link...
He is under my orders to save Hyrule."
Wah ha ha ha hah!
What kind of funny game has our Princess come up
with now?!
OK, OK, all right. You can go now... Just be
careful, Mr. Hero!

*Ganondorf, after losing Impa and Zelda:

Arrrrgh! I lost her!

*Zelda, while communicating telepathically with you with the Ocarina of Time:

Link...Can you hear me?
It's me, Zelda...
Link, when you hold this Ocarina in your hand...
I won't be around anymore...
I wanted to wait for you, but I couldn't delay any
longer...
At least I could leave you the Ocarina and this
melody...
This song opens the Door of Time...
Now, Link.
Play this melody in front of the altar in the
Temple of Time.
You must protect the Triforce!

*Gossip Stone near Hyrule Castle:

They say that, contrary to her elegant image,
Princess Zelda of Hyrule Castle is, in fact, a
tomboy!

*Ruto, after awakening as a Sage:

And you... You're searching for the princess,
Zelda?
Hah!
You can't hide anything from me!
Princess Zelda... She's alive. I can sense it...so
don't be discouraged.

*Impa, after awakening as a Sage:

The boy with the noble Zelda's Ocarina...As I
expected, you have come.
I am Impa, one of the Sheikah. I am Princess
Zelda's caretaker, and I am also the Sage who
guards the Shadow Temple.
We Sheikah have served the royalty of Hyrule from
generation to generation as attendants. However...
On that day seven years ago, Ganondorf suddenly
attacked... and Hyrule Castle surrendered after a
short time.
Ganondorf's target was one of the keys to the
Sacred Realm...the hidden treasure of the Royal
Family... The Ocarina of Time!
My duty bound me to take Zelda out of Ganondorf's
reach. When last I saw you, as we made our escape
from the castle, you were just a lad...
Now I see that you have become a fine hero...
There's nothing to worry about...The Princess is
safe now.
Soon, you'll meet Princess Zelda face-to-face, and
she will explain everything...
That is when we, the six Wise Ones, will seal up
the Evil King and return peace to Hyrule.
I have to stay here... You go to Princess Zelda's
side and protect her on my behalf.

*Rauru, after Link awakens all the Sages:

Link, the hero!
Finally, all of us, the six Sages, have been
awakened!
The time for the final showdown with the King of
Evil has come!
Before that, though, you should meet the one who
is waiting for you...
The one who is waiting for you at the Temple of
Time...

*Sheik/Zelda, in the Temple of Time:

And the other, who holds the Triforce of Wisdom...
is the seventh Sage, who is destined to be the
leader of them all...
(Sheik reveals himself as Zelda)
It is I, the Princess of Hyrule, Zelda.
I apologize for meeting you in disguise, but it
was necessary to hide from the King of Evil.
Please forgive me...
On that day, seven years ago, Ganondorf attacked
Hyrule Castle.
I saw you as I was escaping from the castle with
my attendant, Impa.
I thought I should entrust the Ocarina to you... I
thought that would be our best chance...
As long as you had the Ocarina in your possession,
I thought Ganondorf could never enter the Sacred
Realm, but...
something I could never expect happened...
After you opened the door of time, the Master
Sword sealed you away in the Sacred Realm...
Your spirit remained in the Sacred Realm...and
then the Triforce fell into Ganondorf's hands.
He went on to invade the Sacred Realm...
Ganondorf had become the Evil King, and the Sacred
Realm became a world of evil. All of this is an
unfortunate coincidence.
I passed myself off as a Sheikah and hoped that
you would return. I waited for seven years...
And...now you are back. The dark age ruled by
Ganondorf the Evil King will end!
The six Sages will open the sealed door and lure
Ganondorf back into the Sacred Realm.
I will then seal the door to the Sacred Realm from
this world.
Thus, Ganondorf the Evil King will vanish from
Hyrule.
Link...
In order to do this, I need your courage again.
Please protect me while I do my part.
And here is a weapon that can penetrate the Evil
King's defenses...
The power given to the chosen ones...
The sacred Arrow of Light!!!

*Ganondorf, while kidnapping Zelda:

Princess Zelda...you foolish traitor!
I commend you for avoiding my pursuit for seven
long years.
But you let your guard down...
I knew you would appear if I let this kid wander
around!
My only mistake was to slightly underestimate the
power of this kid...
No...
It was not the kid's power I misjudged, it was the
power of the Triforce of Courage!
But, with the Triforce of Wisdom that Zelda has...
When I obtain these two Triforces...
Then, I will become the true ruler of the world!!
If you want to rescue Zelda, come to my castle!

*Rauru, before creating the rainbow bridge:

Bring down the six barriers and save Princess
Zelda!!

*Impa, while destroying the Shadow barrier:

The Shadow Barrier is dispelled!
Please save the Princess!

*Zelda, after Ganon's Castle is destroyed:

It's over...it's finally over...

*Zelda, while holding Ganon with his magic:

I'm using my power to hold the Evil King! You use
your sword and deliver the final blow!

*Zelda, over the clouds:

Thank you, Link...
Thanks to you, Ganondorf has been sealed inside
the Evil Realm!
Thus, peace will once again reign in this
world...for a time.
All the tragedy that has befallen Hyrule was my
doing...
I was so young...I could not comprehend the
consequences of trying to control the Sacred Realm.
I dragged you into it, too. Now it is time for me
to make up for my mistakes...
You must lay the Master Sword to rest and close
the Door of Time...
However, by doing this, the road between times
will be closed...
Link, give the Ocarina to me...
As a Sage, I can return you to your original time
with it.
When peace returns to Hyrule...
It will be time for us to say good-bye...
Now, go home, Link.
Regain your lost time!
Home...
where you are supposed to be...
the way you are supposed to be...
Thank you...
Link...
Good-bye.

Tetra

2006-04-13T11:07:32Z

Arturo: maybe it's not complete, but I think it's no longer a stub

==Description==
Tan blonde pirate girl, successor to her mother's gang of pirates. Link rescues her from the Helmaroc King, and in return her pirates help him twice. Tetra is revealed out to be a Princess Zelda in the line of the ancient Hyrulian Royal Family when King Hyrule gives her the rest of the Triforce of Wisdom. She and Link embark to find a new land when ancient Hyrule is flooded.

==Biography==
[[Image:Tetra.jpg|left|120px]]Tetra is the Captain of the Pirates. She may seem bossy, cruel, heartless at time, but she is actually quite kind. Tetra was orphaned at a young age. She took over the pirate ship her deceased mother left behind. She also took in her mother's gang of lovable swabbies. Tetra and her crew are in search of treasure beneath the sea. Link encounters the pirates constantly throughout his adventures. Her pirate possy consists of Mako, Niko, Zuko, Nudge, Gonzo, and Senza.

Link first encounters Tetra on the day of his birthday. After receiving his sister's telescope as a "temporary gift", their pirate ship coasts up to Outset Island, firing barrages of cannon balls at the Helmaroc King, who has Tetra clasped in his claws. After a direct hit from a cannon ball, the Helmaroc King is stripped of it's cargo and Tetra plummets into the forest at the top of Outset.

After a speedy rescue by Link, Tetra is reunited with her pirate associate Gonzo, and the three return outside, only to witness the Helmaroc King capture Aryll. Due to some smooth talking by Quill, the postman, Tetra offers to give Link a ride to Forsaken Fortress, the island where Aryll is being held. She launches Link into the fortress (inside a barrel). Lucky for him, she has equipped him with the Pirate's Charm, a means which she can use to see Link and for him to hear her. Tetra and her pirates leave Forsaken Fortress and, although unknown to Link, they try to collect the pearls before he does. They visit Greatfish Isle, in search of Jabun and after they discover he is on Outset, behind an "inpenetrable wall", they sail to Windfall to "purchase" some bombs.

Tetra's good nature is shown on Windfall, when she gives Link a head start on the quest for Nayru's Pearl. Later, she conveniently shows up at Forsaken Fortress, on Link's second attempt to save his sister. She tells Link that the Helmaroc King is being distracted by her ship, and that he would be captured or tossed away again if it wasn't for her. She takes two girls from Windfall, Mila and Maggie, to safety while Link is left to deal with the Helmaroc King.

When she sees Link is in trouble with Ganondorf, Tetra bounds through the window and attacks Ganondorf. He grabs her by the throat. Struggle as she may, she cannot get free. It is then that we discover the answer to the question that is Tetra. She possesses a large portion of the Triforce of Wisdom, and is the Princess Zelda of Hyrule. When it seems like Ganon has the Triforce of Wisdom in his grasp, Komali and Quill flit through the windows, saving the pirate and hero from almost certain death.

With Link, Tetra returns to Hyrule, and under the instruction of the King of Red Lions, they return to the room which housed the Master Sword. There, Tetra meets her father, King Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule, who reunites the peices of the Triforce of Wisdom, causing it to fuse together and for Tetra to change back into Zelda.

Fortunately, Tetra's personality still shines through, and Zelda actually has attitude. She helps Link in the final battle against Ganondorf, before Link returns to the surface with her. Together, Tetra and Link go out in search of a new land.

Whether she knew it or not, Tetra was being guided back to lower Hyrule. In her room on her boat, the room is decorated with three things. Maps of the three triangle islands, with a triforce connecting them, pictures from the Legend of the Hero, and a picture of her mother.

Ancient Sages

2006-04-12T15:23:47Z

Arturo: /* Builders of the other temples? */

Not much is known about the Ancient Sages. They are said to have had the [[Temple of Time]] built. Nothing more is said about them. In OoT they are always mentioned as the "ancient Sages".

==Builders of the Temple of Time==

The main (and only known) achievement of the Ancient Sages is to have had the [[Temple of Time]] built to protect the [[Triforce]] from evil ones.
The Temple of Time was situated in the place where the only entrance to [[Sacred Realm]] is, where the Triforce rests. In order to seal the entrance, they put a huge stone wall, called the [[Door of Time]]. They also created the four keys that open the Door of Time: the three [[Spiritual Stones]] and [[The Ocarina of Time]]. To open the Door of Time, you only have to put the three Spiritual Stones on the altar and play the [[Song of Time]] with the Ocarina of Time.

==Builders of the other temples?==

It can be speculated whether the Ancient Sages built the other six Temples or not. It seems that the title Sage of ... (or ... Sage) is just an abbreviation of Sage of the ... Temple. The role of the Sages is, as [[Impa]] says, to guard their Temples. From this piece of evidence, it can be infered that the Ancient Sages were also guardians of their Temples, but nothing more. Because of this, more evidence should be used.

The five Hyrule temples seem to be made by imperfect, unlike the Light Temple and the Temple of Time. According to '''non canon''' sources, such as zelda.com and the Official Strategy Guide, the [[Spirit Temple]] was made by Gerudos, of which one can conclude that the other temples were made by the tribe who lived on that area. But it is not necessary to use non canon sources as an evidence, since they all seem to be destroyed by time: the [[Forest Temple]] stairs, the [[Desert Colossus]]' face... But if they were built by imperfect hands, why do they wield so much power? Maybe the Ancient Sages used the [[Triforce]] to convert the five Temples into portals to the [[Sacred Realm]].

The [[Temple of Light]] is a totally different case: it seems to be a counterpart to the [[Temple of Time]]. The resting place of the Triforce seems to have been built to protect it from evil ones, as the Ancient Sages did with the Temple of Time. From this, it can be concluded that they also built, using the power of Triforce, the Light Temple.

==The Triforce before the Ancient Sages==

Although most people assume that [[Triforce]] was never used before OoT, there is no reason for assuming that. In fact, given the huge number of legends about the Triforce passed down by the Royal Family and the [[Sheikah]], it seems almost impossible that they would know so many things about it if it had never been used before. Even the main achievement of the Ancient Sages evidences that the Triforce had been used before, because if they didn't know the horrible consequences of an evil man holding the golden relic, they wouldn't have sealed it, but use it to lead [[Hyrule]] to a golden age of prosperity.
Seeing things this way, there is an extreme resemblance between the Triforce and [[Majora's Mask]]. As the [[Happy Mask Salesman]] says:

According to legend...
the troubles caused by Majora's
Mask were so great...
the ancient ones, fearing such
catastrophe, sealed the mask in
shadow forever, preventing its
misuse.
But now, that tribe from the
legend has vanished, so no one
really knows the true nature of
the mask's power...

==Six, seven or many?==

An important question about the Ancient Sages is: how many are them? are they six or seven? There are some reasons for each possibility:

On the one hand:

*Seven are the Temples in Hyrule.

*Seven are the Sages in OoT.

*Seven are the years Link's spirit stays inside the [[Chamber of Sages]]
*Seven and six are numbers with strong symbolism. Seven means completeness and perfection, while six doesn't look to have an special meaning. Number seven appears 17 times in OoT, while six appears only 10 times.

*Sages outside OoT are always mentioned as being seven:

So the King commanded seven wise men to seal the
gate to the Land of the Golden Power. (ALttP SNES)

So the king commanded seven
sages to seal the gate to
the land of the Golden Power. (ALttP GBA)

But on the other hand:

*The [[Chamber of Sages]] seems to have been made for just seven people, i.e. the Six Sages and the [[Hero of Time]]

*Six are the [[Sage's Medallions|Medallions]] the Sages give to Link.

*Rauru, Sheik, Impa, Nabooru... they all speak about the [[Six Sages]].

*Although Zelda is the [[Seventh Sage]], in the game it never says anything about the [[Seven Sages]].

*Rauru is the [[Sage of Light]], Saria, the [[Sage of the Forest]]... but Zelda isn't the Sage of anything.

*According to Zelda, the holder of the [[Triforce of Wisdom]] is the Seventh Sage. Rauru, the only surviving of the Ancient Sages, doesn't know anything about the Seventh Sage. In fact, Zelda is the only one that knows about the Seventh Sage.

From this evidence it can be concluded that Ancient Sages were just six people.

==Who were the Ancient Sages?==

Although only two of the Sages are known, it can be speculated about who the other six were.

[[Image:Rauru.gif|left]]
===Rauru, the Sage of Light===

Rauru is the only surviving of the Ancient Sages, and almost certainly the [[Sage of Light|Ancient Sage of Light]]. Why he lives while the others have already died, is unknown. It can be speculated whether he was the leader of the Ancient Sages. In fact, according to non-canon sources, such as Official Strategy Guide and Zelda.com, he was the architect of the [[Temple of Time]], the Ancient Sages' main achievement.

===Kaepora Gaebora, the Sage of ....===

They say that the owl named Kaepora Gaebora is
the reincarnation of an ancient Sage.

According to this piece of gossip from a [[Gossip Stone]], one of the (most hated) characters of OoT [[Image:Kaepora_Gaebora.gif|right]]is the reincarnation of one of the Ancient Sages. Although some have speculated whether he is the earthly incarnation of Rauru, this has proven to be false. Another possibility is that he is the reincarnation of [[Great Deku Tree]], for he is first seen just after the death of the Deku Tree, but this is disproved by the fact that the Deku Tree reincarnates himself into the [[Deku Tree Sprout]].
So, the only remaining possibilities are the other five Sages. Of them, it seems more likely that he is the [[Sage of Spirit|Ancient Sage of Spirit]] reincarnated, because he is seen twice around the [[Spirit Temple]], and the only time you see him in the future is when [[Sheik]] teaches you the [[Requiem of Spirit]].

===The other remaining Sages===

Although no more candidates are suggested in OoT, it can be speculated who the rest of them were using as a clue the former holders of the three [[Spiritual Stones]].

The Spiritual Stones are, together with [[The Ocarina of Time]], the keys needed to open the [[Door of Time]]. From this, one can assume whether the Ancient Sages created them or that the Spiritual Stones existed before the Sages and they gave the stones the power to open the Door of Time.

Assuming that the stones were passed down by the Sages' descendants, one can speculate about who the [[Sage of the Forest|Ancient Sage of the Forest]], the [[Sage of Fire|Ancient Sage of Fire]] and the [[Sage of Water|Ancient Sage of Water]] were. It can be speculated whether the [[Sage of Shadow|Ancient Sage of Shadow]] was an ancestor of the OoT [[Impa]], possibly also named Impa. .

====Ancient Sage of the Forest====

In the vast, deep forest of Hyrule...
Long have I served as the guardian spirit...
I am known as the Deku Tree...

The [[Kokiri's Emerald]], the Spiritual Stone of Forest, is the only one of the Spiritual Stones that isn't said to have been passed through a race. The only known holder of the stone seems to be the [[Great Deku Tree]]. Then one may think that he is one of the Ancient Sages. He dies after you defeat [[Queen Gohma]], so he is not alive when you enter to the [[Chamber of Sages]]. It can be asked how a tree can enter inside the Chamber of Sages, but since it seems the Sages can only enter in there in a spiritual form and that just Link's spirit is kept in the chamber, it can be possible that Deku Tree just sends his spirit to be able to act as the [[Sage of the Forest|Ancient Sage of Forest]]. The only problems for this theory are that Ancient Sages seem to have died ages ago, and that the Deku Tree never claims to be a Sage, but the guardian spirit.

[[Image:GreatDekuTree.png|center]]

====Ancient Sage of Fire====

A long time ago there was an evil dragon named
Volvagia living in this mountain.
That dragon was very scary! He ate Gorons!
Using a huge hammer, the hero of the Gorons...
BOOOM!
Destroyed it just like that. This is a myth from
long ago, but it's true!
I know, because my dad is a descendant of the
hero! ([[Link of the Gorons]],
[[Darunia (Goron)|Darunia's]] son)

Although there's really little evidence about who the [[Sage of Fire|Ancient Sage of Fire]] is, we know he must be an ancestor of Darunia. Only one of them is known, the so-called [[Hero of Gorons]]. Though there is no in-game evidence to prove or even suggest that he was the Sage of Fire, there is no reason to disprove it. In fact, he:

*Was the leader of their people.
*Is an ancestor of the Sage of Fire.
*He may have been a holder of the [[Goron's Ruby]]
*He died ages ago, as did the Ancient Sages.

====Ancient Sage of Water====

My mother gave it to me and said I should give it
only to the man who will be my husband. You might
call it the Zora's Engagement Ring! (Ruto)

From this evidence it can be speculated how the [[Zora's Sapphire]] was passed down the [[Zora|Zoras]]. It seems to be like this:

The Zora princess gives it to the man who is to become her husband, and [[King Zora|King of the Zoras]]. Once they have a girl, before the mother dies, or before the girl gets married, the mother gives it to the eldest daughter.

From this speculation it can be concluded that
both the royalty and the Spiritual Stone of Water are inherited through a matriarchal line.

So, the first holder of the Spiritual Stone and [[Sage of Water|Ancient Sage of Water]] might be the first queen of the Zoras, the wife of King Zora I.

==Relevant quotes==

*Zelda, explaining the legend of Triforce to Link:

The three goddesses hid the
Triforce containing the power of
the gods somewhere in Hyrule.
The power
to grant the wish of the one who
holds the Triforce in his hands.
If someone with a righteous heart
makes a wish, it will lead Hyrule
to a golden age of prosperity...
If someone with an evil mind has
his wish granted, the world will
be consumed by evil...That is what
has been told...
So, the ancient Sages built
the Temple of Time to protect the
Triforce from evil ones.

*Rauru, the first time Link meets him:

Link...
Wake up...
Link, the chosen one...
I am Rauru, one of the ancient Sages...
Ages ago, we ancient Sages built the Temple of
Time to protect the entrance to the Sacred Realm...
This is the Chamber of Sages, inside the Temple of
Light...
The Temple of Light, situated in the very center
of the Sacred Realm, is the last stronghold
against Ganondorf's evil forces.
The Master Sword--the evil-destroying sword that
you pulled out of the Pedestal of Time--was the
final key to the Sacred Realm.

*A Gossip Stone in Sacred Forest Meadow:

They say that the owl named Kaepora Gaebora is the
reincarnation of an ancient Sage.

Ancient Sages

2006-04-12T15:21:34Z

Arturo: Did they build the other temples?

Not much is known about the Ancient Sages. They are said to have had the [[Temple of Time]] built. Nothing more is said about them. In OoT they are always mentioned as the "ancient Sages".

==Builders of the Temple of Time==

The main (and only known) achievement of the Ancient Sages is to have had the [[Temple of Time]] built to protect the [[Triforce]] from evil ones.
The Temple of Time was situated in the place where the only entrance to [[Sacred Realm]] is, where the Triforce rests. In order to seal the entrance, they put a huge stone wall, called the [[Door of Time]]. They also created the four keys that open the Door of Time: the three [[Spiritual Stones]] and [[The Ocarina of Time]]. To open the Door of Time, you only have to put the three Spiritual Stones on the altar and play the [[Song of Time]] with the Ocarina of Time.

==Builders of the other temples?==

It can be speculated whether the Ancient Sages built the other six Temples or not. It seems that the title Sage of ... (or ... Sage) is just an abbreviation of Sage of the ... Temple. The role of the Sages is, as [[Impa]] says, to guard their Temples. From this piece of evidence, it can be infered that the Ancient Sages were also guardians of their Temples, but nothing more. Because of this, more evidence should be used.

The five Hyrule temples seem to be made by imperfect, unlike the Light Temple and the Temple of Time. According to '''non canon''' sources, such as zelda.com and the Official Strategy Guide, the [[Spirit Temple]] was made by Gerudos, of which one can conclude that the other temples were made by the tribe who lived on that area. But it is not necessary to use non canon sources as an evidence, since they all seem to be destroyed by time: the [[Forest Temple]] stairs, the [[Desert Colossus]]' face... But if they were built by imperfect hands, why do they wield so much power? Maybe the Ancient Sages used the [[Triforce]] to convert the five Temples into portals to the [[Sacred Realm]].

The [[Light Temple]] is a totally different case: it seems to be a counterpart to the [[Temple of Time]]. The resting place of the Triforce seems to have been built to protect it from evil ones, as the Ancient Sages did with the Temple of Time. From this, it can be concluded that they also built, using the power of Triforce, the Light Temple.

==The Triforce before the Ancient Sages==

Although most people assume that [[Triforce]] was never used before OoT, there is no reason for assuming that. In fact, given the huge number of legends about the Triforce passed down by the Royal Family and the [[Sheikah]], it seems almost impossible that they would know so many things about it if it had never been used before. Even the main achievement of the Ancient Sages evidences that the Triforce had been used before, because if they didn't know the horrible consequences of an evil man holding the golden relic, they wouldn't have sealed it, but use it to lead [[Hyrule]] to a golden age of prosperity.
Seeing things this way, there is an extreme resemblance between the Triforce and [[Majora's Mask]]. As the [[Happy Mask Salesman]] says:

According to legend...
the troubles caused by Majora's
Mask were so great...
the ancient ones, fearing such
catastrophe, sealed the mask in
shadow forever, preventing its
misuse.
But now, that tribe from the
legend has vanished, so no one
really knows the true nature of
the mask's power...

==Six, seven or many?==

An important question about the Ancient Sages is: how many are them? are they six or seven? There are some reasons for each possibility:

On the one hand:

*Seven are the Temples in Hyrule.

*Seven are the Sages in OoT.

*Seven are the years Link's spirit stays inside the [[Chamber of Sages]]
*Seven and six are numbers with strong symbolism. Seven means completeness and perfection, while six doesn't look to have an special meaning. Number seven appears 17 times in OoT, while six appears only 10 times.

*Six are the [[Sage's Medallions|Medallions]] the Sages give to Link.

Though there is no in-game evidence to prove or even suggest that he was the Sage of Fire, there is no reason to disprove it. In fact, he:

*Was the leader of their people.
*Is an ancestor of the Sage of Fire.
*He may have been a holder of the [[Goron's Ruby]]
*He died ages ago, as did the Ancient Sages.

====Ancient Sage of Water====

My mother gave it to me and said I should give it
only to the man who will be my husband. You might
call it the Zora's Engagement Ring! (Ruto)

From this evidence it can be speculated how the [[Zora's Sapphire]] was passed down the [[Zora|Zoras]]. It seems to be like this:

The Zora princess gives it to the man who is to become her husband, and [[King Zora|King of the Zoras]]. Once they have a girl, before the mother dies, or before the girl gets married, the mother gives it to the eldest daughter.

From this speculation it can be concluded that
both the royalty and the Spiritual Stone of Water are inherited through a matriarchal line.

So, the first holder of the Spiritual Stone and [[Sage of Water|Ancient Sage of Water]] might be the first queen of the Zoras, the wife of King Zora I.

Ancient Sages

2006-04-12T14:02:04Z

Arturo: /* Who were the Ancient Sages */

Not much is known about the Ancient Sages. They are said to have had the [[Temple of Time]] built. Nothing more is said about them. In OoT they are always mentioned as the "ancient Sages".

==Builders of the Temple of Time==

The main (and only known) achievement of the Ancient Sages is to have had the [[Temple of Time]] built to protect the [[Triforce]] from evil ones.
The Temple of Time was situated in the place where the only entrance to [[Sacred Realm]] is, where the Triforce rests. In order to seal the entrance, they put a huge stone wall, called the [[Door of Time]]. They also created the four keys that open the Door of Time: the three [[Spiritual Stones]] and [[The Ocarina of Time]]. To open the Door of Time, you only have to put the three Spiritual Stones on the altar and play the [[Song of Time]] with the Ocarina of Time.

==The Triforce before the Ancient Sages==

Although most people assume that [[Triforce]] was never used before OoT, there is no reason for assuming that. In fact, given the huge number of legends about the Triforce passed down by the Royal Family and the [[Sheikah]], it seems almost impossible that they would know so many things about it if it had never been used before. Even the main achievement of the Ancient Sages evidences that the Triforce had been used before, because if they didn't know the horrible consequences of an evil man holding the golden relic, they wouldn't have sealed it, but use it to lead [[Hyrule]] to a golden age of prosperity.
Seeing things this way, there is an extreme resemblance between the Triforce and [[Majora's Mask]]. As the [[Happy Mask Salesman]] says:

According to legend...
the troubles caused by Majora's
Mask were so great...
the ancient ones, fearing such
catastrophe, sealed the mask in
shadow forever, preventing its
misuse.
But now, that tribe from the
legend has vanished, so no one
really knows the true nature of
the mask's power...

==Six, seven or many?==

An important question about the Ancient Sages is: how many are them? are they six or seven? There are some reasons for each possibility:

On the one hand:

*Seven are the Temples in Hyrule.

*Seven are the Sages in OoT.

*Seven are the years Link's spirit stays inside the [[Chamber of Sages]]
*Seven and six are numbers with strong symbolism. Seven means completeness and perfection, while six doesn't look to have an special meaning. Number seven appears 17 times in OoT, while six appears only 10 times.

*Sages outside OoT are always mentioned as being seven:

So the King commanded seven wise men to seal the
gate to the Land of the Golden Power. (ALttP SNES)

So the king commanded seven
sages to seal the gate to
the land of the Golden Power. (ALttP GBA)

But on the other hand:

*The [[Chamber of Sages]] seems to have been made for just seven people, i.e. the Six Sages and the [[Hero of Time]]

*Six are the [[Sage's Medallions|Medallions]] the Sages give to Link.

*Rauru, Sheik, Impa, Nabooru... they all speak about the [[Six Sages]].

*Although Zelda is the [[Seventh Sage]], in the game it never says anything about the [[Seven Sages]].

*Rauru is the [[Sage of Light]], Saria, the [[Sage of the Forest]]... but Zelda isn't the Sage of anything.

*According to Zelda, the holder of the [[Triforce of Wisdom]] is the Seventh Sage. Rauru, the only surviving of the Ancient Sages, doesn't know anything about the Seventh Sage. In fact, Zelda is the only one that knows about the Seventh Sage.

From this evidence it can be concluded that Ancient Sages were just six people.

==Who were the Ancient Sages?==

Although only two of the Sages are known, it can be speculated about who the other six were.

[[Image:Rauru.gif|left]]
===Rauru, the Sage of Light===

Rauru is the only surviving of the Ancient Sages, and almost certainly the [[Sage of Light|Ancient Sage of Light]]. Why he lives while the others have already died, is unknown. It can be speculated whether he was the leader of the Ancient Sages. In fact, according to non-canon sources, such as Official Strategy Guide and Zelda.com, he was the architect of the [[Temple of Time]], the Ancient Sages' main achievement.

===Kaepora Gaebora, the Sage of ....===

They say that the owl named Kaepora Gaebora is
the reincarnation of an ancient Sage.

According to this piece of gossip from a [[Gossip Stone]], one of the (most hated) characters of OoT [[Image:Kaepora_Gaebora.gif|right]]is the reincarnation of one of the Ancient Sages. Although some have speculated whether he is the earthly incarnation of Rauru, this has proven to be false. Another possibility is that he is the reincarnation of [[Great Deku Tree]], for he is first seen just after the death of the Deku Tree, but this is disproved by the fact that the Deku Tree reincarnates himself into the [[Deku Tree Sprout]].
So, the only remaining possibilities are the other five Sages. Of them, it seems more likely that he is the [[Sage of Spirit|Ancient Sage of Spirit]] reincarnated, because he is seen twice around the [[Spirit Temple]], and the only time you see him in the future is when [[Sheik]] teaches you the [[Requiem of Spirit]].

===The other remaining Sages===

Although no more candidates are suggested in OoT, it can be speculated who the rest of them were using as a clue the former holders of the three [[Spiritual Stones]].

The Spiritual Stones are, together with [[The Ocarina of Time]], the keys needed to open the [[Door of Time]]. From this, one can assume whether the Ancient Sages created them or that the Spiritual Stones existed before the Sages and they gave the stones the power to open the Door of Time.

Assuming that the stones were passed down by the Sages' descendants, one can speculate about who the [[Sage of the Forest|Ancient Sage of the Forest]], the [[Sage of Fire|Ancient Sage of Fire]] and the [[Sage of Water|Ancient Sage of Water]] were. It can be speculated whether the [[Sage of Shadow|Ancient Sage of Shadow]] was an ancestor of the OoT [[Impa]], possibly also named Impa. .

====Ancient Sage of the Forest====

In the vast, deep forest of Hyrule...
Long have I served as the guardian spirit...
I am known as the Deku Tree...

The [[Kokiri's Emerald]], the Spiritual Stone of Forest, is the only one of the Spiritual Stones that isn't said to have been passed through a race. The only known holder of the stone seems to be the [[Great Deku Tree]]. Then one may think that he is one of the Ancient Sages. He dies after you defeat [[Queen Gohma]], so he is not alive when you enter to the [[Chamber of Sages]]. It can be asked how a tree can enter inside the Chamber of Sages, but since it seems the Sages can only enter in there in a spiritual form and that just Link's spirit is kept in the chamber, it can be possible that Deku Tree just sends his spirit to be able to act as the [[Sage of the Forest|Ancient Sage of Forest]]. The only problems for this theory are that Ancient Sages seem to have died ages ago, and that the Deku Tree never claims to be a Sage, but the guardian spirit.

[[Image:GreatDekuTree.png|center]]

====Ancient Sage of Fire====

A long time ago there was an evil dragon named
Volvagia living in this mountain.
That dragon was very scary! He ate Gorons!
Using a huge hammer, the hero of the Gorons...
BOOOM!
Destroyed it just like that. This is a myth from
long ago, but it's true!
I know, because my dad is a descendant of the
hero! ([[Link of the Gorons]],
[[Darunia (Goron)|Darunia's]] son)

Although there's really little evidence about who the [[Sage of Fire|Ancient Sage of Fire]] is, we know he must be an ancestor of Darunia. Only one of them is known, the so-called [[Hero of Gorons]]. Though there is no in-game evidence to prove or even suggest that he was the Sage of Fire, there is no reason to disprove it. In fact, he:

*Was the leader of their people.
*Is an ancestor of the Sage of Fire.
*He may have been a holder of the [[Goron's Ruby]]
*He died ages ago, as did the Ancient Sages.

====Ancient Sage of Water====

My mother gave it to me and said I should give it
only to the man who will be my husband. You might
call it the Zora's Engagement Ring! (Ruto)

From this evidence it can be speculated how the [[Zora's Sapphire]] was passed down the [[Zora|Zoras]]. It seems to be like this:

The Zora princess gives it to the man who is to become her husband, and [[King Zora|King of the Zoras]]. Once they have a girl, before the mother dies, or before the girl gets married, the mother gives it to the eldest daughter.

From this speculation it can be concluded that
both the royalty and the Spiritual Stone of Water are inherited through a matriarchal line.

So, the first holder of the Spiritual Stone and [[Sage of Water|Ancient Sage of Water]] might be the first queen of the Zoras, the wife of King Zora I.

It is also speculated by some that the Ancient Sages also built the other temples, but there is no evidence for it

Song of Storms

2006-04-12T10:16:36Z

Arturo: Reformatted the article

==Description==
The Song of Storms is one of the songs [[Link]] plays using his ocarina. It also appears as background music in the windmills in [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]] and [[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]], as well as in areas near Guru-Guru in [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]] ([[Gorman]]'s room in the [[Stock Pot Inn]] during the day and the [[Laundry Pool]] at night).

{{N64 a}}{{N64 c down}}{{N64 c up}}{{N64 a}}{{N64 c down}}{{N64 c up}}

===Ocarina of Time===

When Link returns to the windmill in Kakariko Village after waking up in the Temple of Time, the man inside isn't the same happy person he was when Link was a child. Seven years earlier, a boy with an ocarina had come to the windmill and played a strange song. The song caused the windmill to speed up and the village well to dry up. For some reason, this angered the man, although it's hard to say why, since he never leaves the windmill.

When Link pulls out his own ocarina, the man teaches him the Song of Storms, the song played by the child seven years earlier. After returning the Master Sword to the Pedestal of Time, young Link returns to the windmill and plays the Song of Storms, allowing him access to the area underneath Kakariko's well. While it is still useful for certain things, the Song of Storms doesn't make another appearance in the storyline until much later.

In the Desert Colossus there is a dried oasis where, if you stand on the stone next to it and play the Song of Storms, the oasis fills and forms an outdoor fairy fountain.

The Song of Storms can also be used in some places where [[Navi]] turns green without an apparent reason to make appear a [[Fairy]] that heals you completely and fills the magic meter. Unfortunately, these fairies cannot be captured using a [[Bottle]]

===Majora's Mask===

On the first of the three days before the moon crash in Termina, Link takes the Captain's Hat to Ikana Graveyard and orders the Stalchildren hanging around to open a grave marked "The melody that summons the tears of angels rests here." After he defeats the Iron Knuckle he finds below, Link encounters the ghost composer, Flat.

Flat tells the story of how his brother, Sharp, sold his soul to the devil and sealed Flat away under the grave. He requests that Link learn the song on the stone behind him and disappears. Upon reading the stone, Link remembers the Song of Storms. He takes the song to Springwater Cave and plays it for Sharp, who becomes good once more as water begins to flow from the cave again.

In Majora's Mask, playing the Song of Storms will water a Magic Bean sprout, allowing you to keep your bottles filled with other necessities.

If you approach a Gossip Stone and play the Song of Storms, a big fairy will come out. These fairies will heal both your health and magic, but they cannot be captured in a bottle.

== The Song of Storms Paradox ==

The Song of Storms has a rather strange paradox surrounding it. In Ocarina of Time, you learn the song from Guru-Guru, the man in the windmill. When you learn the song, Guru-Guru says that he learned it from a child seven years ago, but that child is you. If you learned it from Guru-Guru, and he learned it from you, then just where did the song come from? In Majora's Mask, Flat wrote the Song of Storms, but Link learned the song and entered the OoT loop before he ever went to Termina. It seems that the origin of the Song of Storms in OoT will forever remain a paradox.

== Relevant Quotes ==

===Ocarina of Time===

*The music man of the windmill before Link plays the Song of Storms:

Go around! Go around and around and around! What
fun! I'm so happy! I'm a music man who loves to go
around and around! Go around and around!!! I'm
trying to come up with a musical theme inspired by
this windmill...going around and around and
around!!!

*The music man of the windmill after Link plays the Song of Storms:
Go around, go around, go around... What? It's
going way too fast!

*The music man in the future:

Grrrrrrrrr! I'll never forget what happened on
that day, seven years ago! Grrrrrrrrr! It's all
that Ocarina kid's fault! Next time he comes
around here, I'm gonna mess him up!

*The music man when adult Link shows him the Ocarina:

What?! You've got an ocarina!! What the heck! That
reminds me of that time, seven years ago! Back
then a mean kid came here and played a strange
song. It messed up this windmill!

I'll never forget this song!

*Music man after Link plays the Song of Storms
Oh, no! A storm again!! You played the Ocarina
again, didn't you!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!

===Majora's Mask===

*A headstone in Ikana Graveyard
The melody that summons the tears of angels rests
here

*Flat, after Link defeats the Iron Knuckle:

You who do not fear the dead, learn well the song
that is inscribed behind me... And if you ever
meet my brother, I'd like you to inform him... The
thousand years of raindrops summoned by my song
are my tears. The thunder that strikes the earth
is my anger! ...I have made my request

*An engraving on Flat's tomb:
The thousand years of raindrops summoned by my
song are my tears. The thunder that strikes the
earth is my anger! Here is written the song that
shall cleanse his cursed, black soul

*Sharp, after hearing the Song of Storms:
W-What is this? ...This song? ...N-No, it can't
be. This song...

With my brother's song, you have broken the curse
that was placed upon me

==Description==

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.

==Biography==

==Zelda in SSBM==
Adult Zelda from OoT is also a playable character in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Smash_Brothers:_Melee Super Smash Brothers: Melee] In this game she can use different and quite powerful magic attacks, together with variations of Link's magic attacks in OoT. Although she's quite slow and can't jump very high, this is not important because of her ability of transforming in her alter ego. In this game her voice acting was done by: Jun Mizusawa.

|}

Zelda trophies:

The crown princess of Hyrule. Zelda entrusted Link
with the future of Hyrule after a revelation came
to her in the world of dreams. She knows much
about the Triforce; in fact, the only person who
likely knows more about Triforce lore is Ganondorf
himself, whom Zelda evaded in Ocarina of Time by
transforming into her alter ego, Sheik.

Zelda is a bit slow and, because of her light
frame, easy to send flying. On the other hand, her
magical skills lend her reliable and explosive
attack power. Zelda's easier to use if you focus
on waiting and countering rather than pressing
attacks. She can use Nayru's Love to reflect
projectile attacks or as an offensive weapon.

Zelda's midair Lightning Kick centers immense
magical power in the ball of her foot. If she
strikes perfectly, the attack is as strong as can
be. If her aim is slightly off, it'll be
exceedingly weak. Farore's Wind again utilizes
Zelda's magical prowess, this time by transporting
her great distances. It's vital to know the lay of
the land before using this move.

==Miscellaneous Notes==

In LA Zelda makes a minor appearance: when Link wakes up at the beggining of the game, he first confuses [[Marin]] with her. Zelda isn't mentioned anymore in the whole game

==Relevant Quotes==

===LA===

*Marin, when Link wakes up:

What a relief! I
thought you'd
never wake up!
You were tossing
and turning...
What? Zelda?
No, my name's
Marin! You must
still be feeling
a little woozy.
You are on
Koholint Island!

:::This case is different because one may think that "Zelda" refers to the series of games, rather than to the character Princess Zelda. Maybe "Zelda" should be a disambiguation page. -[[User:Davogones|davogones]] 05:48, 5 February 2006 (EST)

==Voice actor==
Also does Jun Mizusawa do the voice acting of Zelda in the other official games, besides SSB:M?
--[[User:Iron Knuckle|Iron Knuckle]] 03:03, 30 January 2006 (EST)
:Check the [http://www.zeldalegends.net/index.php?n=creditsfaq Credits FAQ]. -[[User:Davogones|davogones]] 15:11, 30 January 2006 (EST)

Her name is mentioned as a voice actor and so is the voice for Ganondorf, but they are listed only as voice actors (without being mentioned which voices they did). So can I assume they are the same. I know for sure for Ganondorf if I listen to his yells in both games.--[[User:Iron Knuckle|Iron Knuckle]] 17:02, 31 January 2006 (EST)

==TP??==

And Twilight Princess? Should we upload images of Zelda from official TP art and write the little we know about her?--[[User:Arturo|Arturo]] 16:29, 30 January 2006 (EST)

I agree with you although other than the official art picture there is not much we can say about it so far. But I will leave the decision to our Bureacrat: Davogones. --[[User:Iron Knuckle|Iron Knuckle]] 17:01, 31 January 2006 (EST)

:I suppose we might as well add this information. The information could change by the time the game is released, but this wiki should at least reflect our current knowledge. -[[User:Davogones|davogones]] 00:31, 1 February 2006 (EST)

==Zelda, foolish traitor!!==

Princess Zelda...you foolish traitor!
I commend you for avoiding my pursuit for seven
long years.

What do you think of this quote of Ganondorf? Does it mean that Zelda (or Sheik) had swore allegiance to to the Evil King? Or this is going way to far? It wouldn't have any sense to call her a traitor if she hadn't been his ally.--[[User:Arturo|Arturo]] 10:59, 1 February 2006 (EST)

Perhaps Ganondorf means the alliance that he had with the King of Hyrule. Being the princess she should have obeyed him. This is just my hypothesis so discuss about it. --[[User:Iron Knuckle|Iron Knuckle]] 11:43, 1 February 2006 (EST)

In my opinion, it means that Zelda herself, with the form of Sheik, has swore allegiance to him. I know this is speculative, but it would have sense if Sheik had swore allegiance to Ganondorf, he/she would be able to act freely. I don't think he means the alliance with the king because Ganondorf broke it.--[[User:Arturo|Arturo]] 11:52, 1 February 2006 (EST)

Well since Ganondorf made himself the King of Hyrule, any act against him is treason by definition. But this is an interesting point of speculation that perhaps could be discussed in the article. -[[User:Davogones|davogones]] 05:50, 5 February 2006 (EST)

==OoT images==

Iron Knuckle, thank you for putting them again, I'm still writing the second part of the article and forgot to put those ones--[[User:Arturo|Arturo]] 15:20, 3 February 2006 (EST)

== Zelda images ==

Perhaps we should also put part of the images in the descriptions, because there are way too many in the biography section. Arturo I understand that this is an important article, but that many images to a single section is more like overkill. Also in the description a small picture would be more appropriate.--[[User:Iron Knuckle|Iron Knuckle]] 03:27, 5 February 2006 (EST)

Maybe the best would be to put the official art picture in the Description and the sprite in biography. Yes, I know there should be less images, but this article is so important, so I don't know how long it will become... Maybe we could separte this article in pieces, one for each Zelda. Yes, I don't like the solution, but when all the Zelda sections are written... yes, I agree it's too long.
But Zelda is worth it.--[[User:Arturo|Arturo]] 03:54, 5 February 2006 (EST)

I can copy with that. It would be better to first write the complete article and then worry about the layout and pictures. I do like the idea of putting the official art with the descriptions and the sprites in the biography. It is also true that Zelda would be worth the effort, but it must still be readible without obstructions by the images. --[[User:Iron Knuckle|Iron Knuckle]] 04:29, 5 February 2006 (EST)

== Description vs Biography ==

Since Zelda makes appearances in a lot of games, I think that the description and biography should simply be combined into one writeup underneath each game. It's kind of counterproductive to have to read the description in one place, then scroll down to read the biography for the same character. -[[User:Davogones|davogones]] 05:51, 5 February 2006 (EST)

Yes, I agree with you that it's a bit unconfortable to do that. Maybe we should put use this structure:
<nowiki>==LoZ==

===Description===

===Biography===

===Miscelllaneous notes===

===Relevant quotes===

===See also===

==AoL==

===Description===</nowiki>
....

But, personally, I think this article should be divided in parts. I don't think a really long article is the best solution.
--[[User:Arturo|Arturo]] 06:54, 5 February 2006 (EST)

==Zelda in SSBM==

Is it proper to put the SSBM information in its own section, or would it be better to place it into the ''Description'' section, under a subheading for the game? It seems out of place just to be out in the middle of the page under its own heading. Also, the trophey informatin, should it instead be under the relevant quotes area? --[[User:Lesoria|Lesoria]] 15:03, 10 March 2006 (EST)

Is there anyone there??? I think that it should be out of the description since SSBM isn't a Zelda game, it's a non-canon game as the CDi games or Soul Callibur (Have I written it correctly?) are. For the same reason I think the trophies should not be with the rest of the quotes. I don't think it's a good idea to mix OoT, ALttP, MM, LoZ... with SSBM--[[User:Arturo|Arturo]] 15:32, 10 March 2006 (EST)

Yes, there is. But unfortunately I don't have much time at this moment and therefore my updates of images and entries has come to a halt (for now). I am watching over the recent changes part to see any new updates, but it looks like everybody is on 'stand-by'. Now, On Topic; yes, I agree with Arturo that they should not be mixed. I did the same thing for Ganondorf and it looks like Sheik was already ordered in this way too.--[[User:Iron Knuckle|Iron Knuckle]] 10:41, 11 March 2006 (EST)

== Reorganization suggestion ==

This article has gotten massive, so I suggest the following reorganization. Keep the Princess Zelda article at a fairly normal length, explaining who the character Zelda is in general. Then, link to a separate Zelda article for each game. For example, Link to [[Princess Zelda (LoZ)]], [[Princess Zelda (AoL)]], etc. This will keep the article from getting unmanageably large. --[[User:Davogones|davogones]] 13:03, 13 March 2006 (EST)

I had already suggested something similar. When I have time (If you haven't done it yet) I will go ahead and do it. Should SSBM go with Zelda general, with Zelda OoT or in another article?--[[User:Arturo|Arturo]] 13:22, 13 March 2006 (EST)

Thanks! One suggestion: the naming standard should be [[Princess Zelda (LoZ)]] rather than [[Princess Zelda in LoZ]]. If you agree, I'll go ahead and move the existing articles. --[[User:Davogones|davogones]] 01:29, 15 March 2006 (EST)

I don't really like parenthesis, but do as you think it's better--[[User:Arturo|Arturo]] 08:59, 15 March 2006 (EST)

Princess Zelda in OoT and MM

2006-03-14T20:32:33Z

Arturo: /* See also */

==Description==
===Ocarina of Time===

The design for Zelda in OoT marks the first [[Image:ZeldaChildArt_OoT.gif|right|120px]]appearance of what would become her common outfit, with later games depicting a Zelda wearing a similair outfit.

The blond-haired, blue-eyed Zelda design continues. As a child, she wears pink over a white dress over a blue, long-sleeved shirt. Rather than a tiara, Zelda wears a cloth hood, with a golden crest featuring a Triforce symbol. Her necklace is gold, but holds a red stone in the center. She also sports a gold belt, and golden bracelets.

As an adult, Zelda wears a golden tiara with a red stone. Her dress is similar in colors, with more blue in place of pink. She wears Triforce-shaped earrings.

Both as a child and an adult, Zelda's outfit bears the mark of the Triforce and the [[Hylia Mark]].

[[Image:Zelda_adult_oot.jpg|left|180px]]Psychologically, Zelda is possibly the most complex character of the series. She is really wise, even before she becomes the holder of the [[Triforce of Wisdom]]. She is, however, quite imprudent, revealing herself as the Seventh Sage in a place where she can be captured (and in fact, is). From her dependance of her attendant [[Impa]], she evolves to become a strong woman able to escape from Ganondorf for seven years, by disguising herself as a man. She becomes a warrior, someone able to fight and do her own heroic deeds. But then, she becomes as weak as she was when she was a child, dependant on the help of Link.

She is a strong leader. Even as a child, she's interested in matters of government. She does everything to protect the beautiful land of [[Hyrule]]. When she introduces herself, she emphasizes her right to the throne: she's not just Zelda, but Zelda, the Princess of Hyrule. She is also highly educated. She knows many (if not all) of the legends of Hyrule; she can write poetry; she can play two instruments, the ocarina and the harp. She is a master of human feelings.

Strong, but weak; wise, but imprudent; sensible, but naïve... Zelda in OoT is a world of contradictions.

===Majora's Mask===

The Zelda of MM is the same as the one of OoT. Her appearance is, because of this, the same as the child Zelda from OoT. The only difference is that she appears just in black and white.

==Biography==

===Ocarina of Time===

====The Princess of Destiny====

Zelda is the beloved only daughter of the (possibly) widow [[King of Hyrule]]. As the true heir to the throne she's been instructed in all the legends of Hyrule, legends she know perfectly. She is entrusted with one of the four keys to the [[Sacred Realm]], [[The Ocarina of Time]].
Since her birth, she has been protected by her muscular attendant, [[Impa]] the [[Sheikah]]. One of her functions was to play the [[Zelda's Lullaby|ancient and mysterious melody passed down the Royal Family]] as a lullaby for the princess. Maybe because of this, she started to have prophetic dreams that were never wrong. The divination powers of the princess were quickly spread in all [[Hyrule Castle Town]].

With one of her prophetic dreams began the disgrace that would befall Hyrule. In her words:

I had a dream... In the dream, dark storm clouds
were billowing over the land of Hyrule...
But suddenly, a ray of light shot out of the
forest, parted the clouds and lit up the ground...
The light turned into a figure holding a green and
shining stone, followed by a fairy...

[[Image:ZeldaChild OoT.png|left|150px]]In her dream she also saw Impa, who had the role of teaching the melody she had used as [[Zelda's Lullaby]] to the boy from the forest. She also was able to understand who the dark clouds represented in the dream, [[Ganondorf|Ganondorf, the leader of the Gerudos]]She told the dream to her father, to whom Ganondorf has swore allegiance, but he didn't believe it was nothing more than a mere dream.

While Zelda is spying Ganondorf through a window, Link arrives to the [[Castle Courtyard]] looking for the [[Princess of Destiny]]. Zelda immediately recognizes him as the forest boy from her dream, and asks him whether he has the [[Kokiri's Emerald|Spiritual Stone of Forest]], the shining green stone of her dream. She tells her what she has dreamed and her suspects about Ganondorf. She plans how to protect the Sacred Realm from Ganondorf, so she commands Link to look for the other two [[Spiritual Stones]] while she protects the Ocarina of Time with all her power. By keeping away the four keys of the [[Door of Time]] from Ganondorf. That way he would never get the [[Triforce]]. She also gives him a [[Zelda's Letter|letter]] to make him be able to go to those places that need royal permission.
When Link gets the other two Spiritual Stones, the [[Goron's Ruby]] and the [[Zora's Sapphire]], Ganondorf attacks the [[Hyrule Castle]]. Because of this, Zelda cannot wait for Link any more and has to flee with her attendant, Impa, to a place where Ganondorf can't reach them. As Link arrives to the entrance to Hyrule Castle Town, he sees Zelda and Impa riding in a white horse escaping from Ganondorf. Not being able to give Link the last key to the Door of Time, she throws the Ocarina of Time to the city moat. After Link meets Ganondorf, he dives into the water, taking the Ocarina of Time, and receiving a telepathical message from Zelda where she appears in front of the altar of the [[Temple of Time]] and teaches Link the [[Song of Time]].

[[Image:Zelda_and_impa.jpg|center|frame|Impa and Zelda escaping from Ganondorf OoT MQ| 120px]]
[[Image:Zelda ocarina.jpg|center|frame|Zelda teaching Link the Song of Time telepathically. OoT MQ]]

When Link pulls out the [[Master Sword]] from the [[Pedestal of Time]] something that Zelda didn't predict. Zelda didn't think that there was a fifth key to the Sacred Realm, the Master Sword, and that Link was the legendary [[Hero of Time]], the only one able to pull the sword from its pedestal. Because Link isn't old enough to be the Hero of Time, his spirit is sealed inside the [[Chamber of Sages]], leaving the entrance to the Sacred Realm open to Ganondorf.

[[Image:Sheik.jpg|right]]

====The Seventh Sage====

It's unknown where Impa and Zelda go after they escape from Ganondorf. It's possible that they stay with an unknown Sheikah community, where she is trained in Sheikah magic and techniques. When Ganonodorf gets the Triforce, the ancient prophecy passed down the shadow folk comes true. Because of Ganondorf's heart being unbalanced, the Triforce turns into three pieces: Power, Wisdom and Courage. While the [[Triforce of Power]] remains with Ganondorf, the other two, the [[Triforce of Wisdom]] and the [[Triforce of Courage]] go to the chosen ones: Zelda and Link. Zelda thus becomes the [[Seventh Sage]], who is destined to be the leader of all them. Using the power of her Triforce, Zelda adopts the disguise of a young Sheikah man, Sheik.

Although it's not known how much time Impa and Sheik stay in exile, presumably Impa went quite early to [[Kakariko Village]], to protect it from Ganondorf. What Sheik does until Link wakes up, it's not known. It's possible that she swore allegiance to Ganondorf in order to be able to act with more freedom. She may have also collaborated with Impa at imprisoning the evil spirit of [[Bongo Bongo]], but this is never mentioned.

After Link wakes up, Sheik appears as a kind of guide for the [[Hero of Time]], It's she who writes the new inscription on the altar of the Temple of Time:
The Ocarina of Time opened the
door. The Hero of Time, with the
Master Sword, descended here.
With her poetry and music, she teaches Link those
things he couldn't learn when he was young. Her poems speak about feelings, young love, friendship... or tell the legends passed down the Sheikah folk, those about the Triforce, the Master Sword, the Sages, The Hero of Time and the temples.

[[Image:ZeldaAdult OoT.png|left|180px]]While Link is in the Temples, Sheik does deeds that counterpart those of Ganondorf: she rescues Rutro from the ice, she takes care of Kakariko Village while Link goes to Shadow Temple... But her most important function is to teach Link the warp melodies of the temples.

The fact that Zelda is mentioned very few times before Sheik takes off her disguise helps to cover the secret. Zelda is only mentioned twice. The first time is when Link awakens [[Ruto (Zora)|Ruto]] as a Sage and she tells Link not to be discouraged, because she feels Zelda is alive. A more specific quote is that of Impa, after awakening as a Sage, where she tells Link that soon he would meet Zelda, and she would explain him everything.

It is curious to see that, of the [[Six Sages]], only Ruto mentions Sheik, but it's known that at least [[Rauru (Sage)|Rauru]] and Impa know her. Of them, Ruto doesn't know who Sheik really is, only Impa seems to know something exact about her.
There is only one in-game clue that suggests that Sheik is Zelda. It comes from a [[Gossip Stone]] and says that Princess Zelda, contrary to her elegant image, is a tomboy!

After Link awakens all the Sages, Rauru contacts with Link telepathically, asking him to go to the [[Temple of Time]], where someone's waiting for him. This person is Sheik. Sheik tells Link an unknown legend passed down the Sheikah folk. A legend about the true nature of the Sacred Realm and the Triforce. She explains Link what happened when Ganondorrf got the golden relic: it divides in its three parts, Power, Wisdom and Courage. While the force Ganondorf trusted more, the [[Triforce of Power]], the [[Triforce of Courage]] went to Link and the [[Triforce of Wisdom]] went to the [[Seventh Sage]].
Then Sheik makes her second and almost fatal mistake: using the Triforce of Wisdom she takes her disguise off, revealing herself to be the Seventh Sage Zelda. Then, she tells Link her plan to defeat Ganondorf. It's quite simple, Link would protect Zelda while she gathers the power of the [[Six Sages]] to seal Ganondorf in the void of the [[Evil Realm]]. For this purpose she gives Link a new weapon, one that can penetrate Ganondorf defenses, the sacred [[Light Arrow|Arrow of Light]].
[[Image:LightArrowGet_OoT.jpg|center]]

Then the temple starts to tremble. It's Ganondorf, who has heard all the conversation between Zelda and Link, so he knows who the holders of the Triforce are. He imprisons Zelda in a pink crystal and tells him to go to [[Ganon's Castle|his castle]] to rescue her.

Now Link's mission is to rescue the princess and that's what the Sages tell him to do. Once Ganondorf, Zelda and Link meet in the same room, the Triforce in their hands' backs shine, starting to recombine. After Link defeats Ganondorf, Zelda's imprisonment disappears, releasing her. She, after explaining Link why Ganondorf has died, she notices that he's trying to crash them inside [[Ganon's Tower|the tower]]. Then she guides Link to escape from there, opening with her magic all the locked doors. Once they are out of the castle, they see how it is destroyed. But they hear a noise. It's Ganondorf, who still has enough power to use the Triforce and transform into a giant pig-like creature [[Ganon]]. After a long battle, Zelda uses her magic against Ganon, holding him while Link finishes the evil incarnation with his now shining Master Sword. Then Zelda creates a yellow energy ball, that is used as a portal for the Six Sages power, sealing him inside the Evil Realm.

In the next scene Link and Zelda appear over the clouds. She apologizes to him and explains how all was a fatal coincidence, how all the disgrace was her fault. Then she asks Link for his Ocarina. For she, as one of the [[Seven Sages]], can return him to his original time by using the Ocarina of Time. He gives her really slowly the Ocarina, after holding hands, and then she plays Zelda's Lullaby, making him return to the past. After the ending sequence it's seen how Link and young Zelda meet again.
 

===Majora's Mask===

The only appearance of Zelda in MM is during a short flashback after he recovers [[The Ocarina of Time]]. She teaches Link the [[Song of Time]]. Zelda is the only person Link remembers from [[Hyrule]] and her name is asocciated with the treasure she gave Link, the [[The Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]].
In the flashback Link remembers how (presumably) since he defeats [[Ganondorf]] at the end of OoT he has lived with Zelda, almost certainly in [[Hyrule Castle]]. But Link has to leave her, in order to find a friend long time gone. She lets him go, giving him the Ocarina of Time, and saying she would pray for him. In MM she's Link's only link to the person he was before.

==Miscellaneous Notes==
===Does she dye her hair?===
[[Image:Zelda_eyebrows_child.jpg|left]]
[[Image:Zelda_eyebrows.jpg|right]]
In OoT there's a curiosity about her sprite, for both child and adult. Their eyebrows are green!
Maybe she forgot to dye her eyebrows... This is not shown in her official artwork, so maybe it's just a mistake of the game designers .

===The healthy and rich princess===
In OoT, when Link and Zelda are escaping from [[Ganon's Tower]] she is once imprisoned by a circle of fire that doesn't disappear until Link defeats the two [[Stalfos]] that appear then. After that, Zelda gives Link three [[Heart|hearts]] to heal him. If he has already alll the hearts full, she throws three [[Rupee|Rupees]].

*Great Deku Tree, after you destroy the curse:

Link...
Go now to Hyrule Castle...
There, thou will surely meet the Princess of
Destiny...
Take this stone with you.
The stone that man wanted so much, that he cast
the curse on me...

*People in Hyrule Castle Town:

Hey, have you heard that Princess Zelda sees
prophetic visions in her dreams?

Wha-ha-ha! What a crazy guy!
Can you believe that this guy was crazy enough to
try to sneak into the castle to see Princess Zelda?
All because of this idiot, they've tightened
security at the castle.
Wha-ha-ha!

I wanted to see Princess Zelda!
I avoided the guards...
Swam through the moat...
I was almost there when they caught me!
I found a small drain hole on the right side of
the castle that I thought I could sneak into, but
I got stuck there.

*Dancing (male) lover:

Ohh...
You are...
more beautiful...
than Princess Zelda...
Ohh...

The Princess would never grant an audience to the
likes of you!

Who are you?
How did you get past the guards?
Oh? What's that?
Is that...
a fairy?!
Then, are you...
Are you from the forest?
Then...then...you wouldn't happen to have... the
Spiritual Stone of the Forest, would you?! That
green and shining stone...
Do you have it?

I had a dream... In the dream, dark storm clouds
were billowing over the land of Hyrule...
But suddenly, a ray of light shot out of the
forest, parted the clouds and lit up the ground...
The light turned into a figure holding a green and
shining stone, followed by a fairy...
I know this is a prophecy that someone would come
from the forest...
Yes, I thought you might be the one...
Oh, I'm sorry!
I got carried away with my story and didn't even
properly introduce myself!
I am Zelda, Princess of Hyrule.

I forgot to tell you...
I was spying through this window just now...
The other element from my dream...the dark
clouds...
I believe they symbolize...
that man in there!
Will you look through the window at him?
Can you see the man with the evil eyes?
That is Ganondorf, the leader of the Gerudos. They
hail from the desert far to the west.
Though he swears allegiance to my father, I am
sure he is not sincere.
The dark clouds that covered Hyrule in my dream...
They must symbolize that man!

I...I am afraid...
I have a feeling that man is going to destroy
Hyrule.
He has such terrifying power!
But it's fortunate that you have come...
We must not let Ganondorf get the Triforce!
I will protect the Ocarina of Time with all my
power!
He shall not have it!
You go find the other two Spiritual Stones!
Let's get the Triforce before Ganondorf does, and
then defeat him!

Everything is exactly as the Princess foretold.
You are a courageous boy...
You are heading out on a big, new adventure,

Oh, this is...
This is surely Princess Zelda's handwriting! Well,
let's see...
Hmmm... OK...

careful, Mr. Hero!

*Ganondorf, after losing Impa and Zelda:

Arrrrgh! I lost her!

*Zelda, while communicating telepathically with you with the Ocarina of Time:

Link...Can you hear me?
It's me, Zelda...
Link, when you hold this Ocarina in your hand...
I won't be around anymore...
I wanted to wait for you, but I couldn't delay any
longer...
At least I could leave you the Ocarina and this
melody...
This song opens the Door of Time...
Now, Link.
Play this melody in front of the altar in the
Temple of Time.
You must protect the Triforce!

*Gossip Stone near Hyrule Castle:

They say that, contrary to her elegant image,
Princess Zelda of Hyrule Castle is, in fact, a
tomboy!

*Ruto, after awakening as a Sage:

And you... You're searching for the princess,
Zelda?
Hah!
You can't hide anything from me!
Princess Zelda... She's alive. I can sense it...so
don't be discouraged.

*Impa, after awakening as a Sage:

The boy with the noble Zelda's Ocarina...As I
expected, you have come.
I am Impa, one of the Sheikah. I am Princess
Zelda's caretaker, and I am also the Sage who
guards the Shadow Temple.
We Sheikah have served the royalty of Hyrule from
generation to generation as attendants. However...
On that day seven years ago, Ganondorf suddenly
attacked... and Hyrule Castle surrendered after a
short time.
Ganondorf's target was one of the keys to the
Sacred Realm...the hidden treasure of the Royal
Family... The Ocarina of Time!
My duty bound me to take Zelda out of Ganondorf's
reach. When last I saw you, as we made our escape
from the castle, you were just a lad...
Now I see that you have become a fine hero...
There's nothing to worry about...The Princess is
safe now.
Soon, you'll meet Princess Zelda face-to-face, and
she will explain everything...
That is when we, the six Wise Ones, will seal up
the Evil King and return peace to Hyrule.
I have to stay here... You go to Princess Zelda's
side and protect her on my behalf.

*Rauru, after Link awakens all the Sages:

Link, the hero!
Finally, all of us, the six Sages, have been
awakened!
The time for the final showdown with the King of
Evil has come!
Before that, though, you should meet the one who
is waiting for you...
The one who is waiting for you at the Temple of
Time...

*Sheik/Zelda, in the Temple of Time:

And the other, who holds the Triforce of Wisdom...
is the seventh Sage, who is destined to be the
leader of them all...
(Sheik reveals himself as Zelda)
It is I, the Princess of Hyrule, Zelda.
I apologize for meeting you in disguise, but it
was necessary to hide from the King of Evil.
Please forgive me...
On that day, seven years ago, Ganondorf attacked
Hyrule Castle.
I saw you as I was escaping from the castle with
my attendant, Impa.
I thought I should entrust the Ocarina to you... I
thought that would be our best chance...
As long as you had the Ocarina in your possession,
I thought Ganondorf could never enter the Sacred
Realm, but...
something I could never expect happened...
After you opened the door of time, the Master
Sword sealed you away in the Sacred Realm...
Your spirit remained in the Sacred Realm...and
then the Triforce fell into Ganondorf's hands.
He went on to invade the Sacred Realm...
Ganondorf had become the Evil King, and the Sacred
Realm became a world of evil. All of this is an
unfortunate coincidence.
I passed myself off as a Sheikah and hoped that
you would return. I waited for seven years...
And...now you are back. The dark age ruled by
Ganondorf the Evil King will end!
The six Sages will open the sealed door and lure
Ganondorf back into the Sacred Realm.
I will then seal the door to the Sacred Realm from
this world.
Thus, Ganondorf the Evil King will vanish from
Hyrule.
Link...
In order to do this, I need your courage again.
Please protect me while I do my part.
And here is a weapon that can penetrate the Evil
King's defenses...
The power given to the chosen ones...
The sacred Arrow of Light!!!

*Ganondorf, while kidnapping Zelda:

Princess Zelda...you foolish traitor!
I commend you for avoiding my pursuit for seven
long years.
But you let your guard down...
I knew you would appear if I let this kid wander
around!
My only mistake was to slightly underestimate the
power of this kid...
No...
It was not the kid's power I misjudged, it was the
power of the Triforce of Courage!
But, with the Triforce of Wisdom that Zelda has...
When I obtain these two Triforces...
Then, I will become the true ruler of the world!!
If you want to rescue Zelda, come to my castle!

*Rauru, before creating the rainbow bridge:

Bring down the six barriers and save Princess
Zelda!!

*Impa, while destroying the Shadow barrier:

The Shadow Barrier is dispelled!
Please save the Princess!

*Zelda, after Ganon's Castle is destroyed:

It's over...it's finally over...

*Zelda, while holding Ganon with his magic:

I'm using my power to hold the Evil King! You use
your sword and deliver the final blow!

*Zelda, over the clouds:

Thank you, Link...
Thanks to you, Ganondorf has been sealed inside
the Evil Realm!
Thus, peace will once again reign in this
world...for a time.
All the tragedy that has befallen Hyrule was my
doing...
I was so young...I could not comprehend the
consequences of trying to control the Sacred Realm.
I dragged you into it, too. Now it is time for me
to make up for my mistakes...
You must lay the Master Sword to rest and close
the Door of Time...
However, by doing this, the road between times
will be closed...
Link, give the Ocarina to me...
As a Sage, I can return you to your original time
with it.
When peace returns to Hyrule...
It will be time for us to say good-bye...
Now, go home, Link.
Regain your lost time!
Home...
where you are supposed to be...
the way you are supposed to be...
Thank you...
Link...
Good-bye.

You got the Ocarina of Time
back!

precious instrument.

day will come when I shall meet
you again...
Until that day comes, please...

Princess Zelda in OoT and MM

2006-03-14T20:30:09Z

Arturo: Article created

==Description==
===Ocarina of Time===

The design for Zelda in OoT marks the first [[Image:ZeldaChildArt_OoT.gif|right|120px]]appearance of what would become her common outfit, with later games depicting a Zelda wearing a similair outfit.

The blond-haired, blue-eyed Zelda design continues. As a child, she wears pink over a white dress over a blue, long-sleeved shirt. Rather than a tiara, Zelda wears a cloth hood, with a golden crest featuring a Triforce symbol. Her necklace is gold, but holds a red stone in the center. She also sports a gold belt, and golden bracelets.

As an adult, Zelda wears a golden tiara with a red stone. Her dress is similar in colors, with more blue in place of pink. She wears Triforce-shaped earrings.

Both as a child and an adult, Zelda's outfit bears the mark of the Triforce and the [[Hylia Mark]].

[[Image:Zelda_adult_oot.jpg|left|180px]]Psychologically, Zelda is possibly the most complex character of the series. She is really wise, even before she becomes the holder of the [[Triforce of Wisdom]]. She is, however, quite imprudent, revealing herself as the Seventh Sage in a place where she can be captured (and in fact, is). From her dependance of her attendant [[Impa]], she evolves to become a strong woman able to escape from Ganondorf for seven years, by disguising herself as a man. She becomes a warrior, someone able to fight and do her own heroic deeds. But then, she becomes as weak as she was when she was a child, dependant on the help of Link.

She is a strong leader. Even as a child, she's interested in matters of government. She does everything to protect the beautiful land of [[Hyrule]]. When she introduces herself, she emphasizes her right to the throne: she's not just Zelda, but Zelda, the Princess of Hyrule. She is also highly educated. She knows many (if not all) of the legends of Hyrule; she can write poetry; she can play two instruments, the ocarina and the harp. She is a master of human feelings.

Strong, but weak; wise, but imprudent; sensible, but naïve... Zelda in OoT is a world of contradictions.

===Majora's Mask===

The Zelda of MM is the same as the one of OoT. Her appearance is, because of this, the same as the child Zelda from OoT. The only difference is that she appears just in black and white.

==Biography==

===Ocarina of Time===

====The Princess of Destiny====

Zelda is the beloved only daughter of the (possibly) widow [[King of Hyrule]]. As the true heir to the throne she's been instructed in all the legends of Hyrule, legends she know perfectly. She is entrusted with one of the four keys to the [[Sacred Realm]], [[The Ocarina of Time]].
Since her birth, she has been protected by her muscular attendant, [[Impa]] the [[Sheikah]]. One of her functions was to play the [[Zelda's Lullaby|ancient and mysterious melody passed down the Royal Family]] as a lullaby for the princess. Maybe because of this, she started to have prophetic dreams that were never wrong. The divination powers of the princess were quickly spread in all [[Hyrule Castle Town]].

With one of her prophetic dreams began the disgrace that would befall Hyrule. In her words:

I had a dream... In the dream, dark storm clouds
were billowing over the land of Hyrule...
But suddenly, a ray of light shot out of the
forest, parted the clouds and lit up the ground...
The light turned into a figure holding a green and
shining stone, followed by a fairy...

[[Image:ZeldaChild OoT.png|left|150px]]In her dream she also saw Impa, who had the role of teaching the melody she had used as [[Zelda's Lullaby]] to the boy from the forest. She also was able to understand who the dark clouds represented in the dream, [[Ganondorf|Ganondorf, the leader of the Gerudos]]She told the dream to her father, to whom Ganondorf has swore allegiance, but he didn't believe it was nothing more than a mere dream.

While Zelda is spying Ganondorf through a window, Link arrives to the [[Castle Courtyard]] looking for the [[Princess of Destiny]]. Zelda immediately recognizes him as the forest boy from her dream, and asks him whether he has the [[Kokiri's Emerald|Spiritual Stone of Forest]], the shining green stone of her dream. She tells her what she has dreamed and her suspects about Ganondorf. She plans how to protect the Sacred Realm from Ganondorf, so she commands Link to look for the other two [[Spiritual Stones]] while she protects the Ocarina of Time with all her power. By keeping away the four keys of the [[Door of Time]] from Ganondorf. That way he would never get the [[Triforce]]. She also gives him a [[Zelda's Letter|letter]] to make him be able to go to those places that need royal permission.
When Link gets the other two Spiritual Stones, the [[Goron's Ruby]] and the [[Zora's Sapphire]], Ganondorf attacks the [[Hyrule Castle]]. Because of this, Zelda cannot wait for Link any more and has to flee with her attendant, Impa, to a place where Ganondorf can't reach them. As Link arrives to the entrance to Hyrule Castle Town, he sees Zelda and Impa riding in a white horse escaping from Ganondorf. Not being able to give Link the last key to the Door of Time, she throws the Ocarina of Time to the city moat. After Link meets Ganondorf, he dives into the water, taking the Ocarina of Time, and receiving a telepathical message from Zelda where she appears in front of the altar of the [[Temple of Time]] and teaches Link the [[Song of Time]].

[[Image:Zelda_and_impa.jpg|center|frame|Impa and Zelda escaping from Ganondorf OoT MQ| 120px]]
[[Image:Zelda ocarina.jpg|center|frame|Zelda teaching Link the Song of Time telepathically. OoT MQ]]

When Link pulls out the [[Master Sword]] from the [[Pedestal of Time]] something that Zelda didn't predict. Zelda didn't think that there was a fifth key to the Sacred Realm, the Master Sword, and that Link was the legendary [[Hero of Time]], the only one able to pull the sword from its pedestal. Because Link isn't old enough to be the Hero of Time, his spirit is sealed inside the [[Chamber of Sages]], leaving the entrance to the Sacred Realm open to Ganondorf.

[[Image:Sheik.jpg|right]]

====The Seventh Sage====

It's unknown where Impa and Zelda go after they escape from Ganondorf. It's possible that they stay with an unknown Sheikah community, where she is trained in Sheikah magic and techniques. When Ganonodorf gets the Triforce, the ancient prophecy passed down the shadow folk comes true. Because of Ganondorf's heart being unbalanced, the Triforce turns into three pieces: Power, Wisdom and Courage. While the [[Triforce of Power]] remains with Ganondorf, the other two, the [[Triforce of Wisdom]] and the [[Triforce of Courage]] go to the chosen ones: Zelda and Link. Zelda thus becomes the [[Seventh Sage]], who is destined to be the leader of all them. Using the power of her Triforce, Zelda adopts the disguise of a young Sheikah man, Sheik.

Although it's not known how much time Impa and Sheik stay in exile, presumably Impa went quite early to [[Kakariko Village]], to protect it from Ganondorf. What Sheik does until Link wakes up, it's not known. It's possible that she swore allegiance to Ganondorf in order to be able to act with more freedom. She may have also collaborated with Impa at imprisoning the evil spirit of [[Bongo Bongo]], but this is never mentioned.

After Link wakes up, Sheik appears as a kind of guide for the [[Hero of Time]], It's she who writes the new inscription on the altar of the Temple of Time:
The Ocarina of Time opened the
door. The Hero of Time, with the
Master Sword, descended here.
With her poetry and music, she teaches Link those
things he couldn't learn when he was young. Her poems speak about feelings, young love, friendship... or tell the legends passed down the Sheikah folk, those about the Triforce, the Master Sword, the Sages, The Hero of Time and the temples.

[[Image:ZeldaAdult OoT.png|left|180px]]While Link is in the Temples, Sheik does deeds that counterpart those of Ganondorf: she rescues Rutro from the ice, she takes care of Kakariko Village while Link goes to Shadow Temple... But her most important function is to teach Link the warp melodies of the temples.

The fact that Zelda is mentioned very few times before Sheik takes off her disguise helps to cover the secret. Zelda is only mentioned twice. The first time is when Link awakens [[Ruto (Zora)|Ruto]] as a Sage and she tells Link not to be discouraged, because she feels Zelda is alive. A more specific quote is that of Impa, after awakening as a Sage, where she tells Link that soon he would meet Zelda, and she would explain him everything.

It is curious to see that, of the [[Six Sages]], only Ruto mentions Sheik, but it's known that at least [[Rauru (Sage)|Rauru]] and Impa know her. Of them, Ruto doesn't know who Sheik really is, only Impa seems to know something exact about her.
There is only one in-game clue that suggests that Sheik is Zelda. It comes from a [[Gossip Stone]] and says that Princess Zelda, contrary to her elegant image, is a tomboy!

After Link awakens all the Sages, Rauru contacts with Link telepathically, asking him to go to the [[Temple of Time]], where someone's waiting for him. This person is Sheik. Sheik tells Link an unknown legend passed down the Sheikah folk. A legend about the true nature of the Sacred Realm and the Triforce. She explains Link what happened when Ganondorrf got the golden relic: it divides in its three parts, Power, Wisdom and Courage. While the force Ganondorf trusted more, the [[Triforce of Power]], the [[Triforce of Courage]] went to Link and the [[Triforce of Wisdom]] went to the [[Seventh Sage]].
Then Sheik makes her second and almost fatal mistake: using the Triforce of Wisdom she takes her disguise off, revealing herself to be the Seventh Sage Zelda. Then, she tells Link her plan to defeat Ganondorf. It's quite simple, Link would protect Zelda while she gathers the power of the [[Six Sages]] to seal Ganondorf in the void of the [[Evil Realm]]. For this purpose she gives Link a new weapon, one that can penetrate Ganondorf defenses, the sacred [[Light Arrow|Arrow of Light]].
[[Image:LightArrowGet_OoT.jpg|center]]

Then the temple starts to tremble. It's Ganondorf, who has heard all the conversation between Zelda and Link, so he knows who the holders of the Triforce are. He imprisons Zelda in a pink crystal and tells him to go to [[Ganon's Castle|his castle]] to rescue her.

Now Link's mission is to rescue the princess and that's what the Sages tell him to do. Once Ganondorf, Zelda and Link meet in the same room, the Triforce in their hands' backs shine, starting to recombine. After Link defeats Ganondorf, Zelda's imprisonment disappears, releasing her. She, after explaining Link why Ganondorf has died, she notices that he's trying to crash them inside [[Ganon's Tower|the tower]]. Then she guides Link to escape from there, opening with her magic all the locked doors. Once they are out of the castle, they see how it is destroyed. But they hear a noise. It's Ganondorf, who still has enough power to use the Triforce and transform into a giant pig-like creature [[Ganon]]. After a long battle, Zelda uses her magic against Ganon, holding him while Link finishes the evil incarnation with his now shining Master Sword. Then Zelda creates a yellow energy ball, that is used as a portal for the Six Sages power, sealing him inside the Evil Realm.

In the next scene Link and Zelda appear over the clouds. She apologizes to him and explains how all was a fatal coincidence, how all the disgrace was her fault. Then she asks Link for his Ocarina. For she, as one of the [[Seven Sages]], can return him to his original time by using the Ocarina of Time. He gives her really slowly the Ocarina, after holding hands, and then she plays Zelda's Lullaby, making him return to the past. After the ending sequence it's seen how Link and young Zelda meet again.
 

===Majora's Mask===

The only appearance of Zelda in MM is during a short flashback after he recovers [[The Ocarina of Time]]. She teaches Link the [[Song of Time]]. Zelda is the only person Link remembers from [[Hyrule]] and her name is asocciated with the treasure she gave Link, the [[The Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]].
In the flashback Link remembers how (presumably) since he defeats [[Ganondorf]] at the end of OoT he has lived with Zelda, almost certainly in [[Hyrule Castle]]. But Link has to leave her, in order to find a friend long time gone. She lets him go, giving him the Ocarina of Time, and saying she would pray for him. In MM she's Link's only link to the person he was before.

==Miscellaneous Notes==
===Does she dye her hair?===
[[Image:Zelda_eyebrows_child.jpg|left]]
[[Image:Zelda_eyebrows.jpg|right]]
In OoT there's a curiosity about her sprite, for both child and adult. Their eyebrows are green!
Maybe she forgot to dye her eyebrows... This is not shown in her official artwork, so maybe it's just a mistake of the game designers .

===The healthy and rich princess===
In OoT, when Link and Zelda are escaping from [[Ganon's Tower]] she is once imprisoned by a circle of fire that doesn't disappear until Link defeats the two [[Stalfos]] that appear then. After that, Zelda gives Link three [[Heart|hearts]] to heal him. If he has already alll the hearts full, she throws three [[Rupee|Rupees]].

==Relevant Quotes==
===The Legend of Zelda===

===The Adventure of Link===

===A Link to the Past===

===Ocarina of Time===

*Great Deku Tree, after you destroy the curse:

Link...
Go now to Hyrule Castle...
There, thou will surely meet the Princess of
Destiny...
Take this stone with you.
The stone that man wanted so much, that he cast
the curse on me...

*People in Hyrule Castle Town:

Hey, have you heard that Princess Zelda sees
prophetic visions in her dreams?

Wha-ha-ha! What a crazy guy!
Can you believe that this guy was crazy enough to
try to sneak into the castle to see Princess Zelda?
All because of this idiot, they've tightened
security at the castle.
Wha-ha-ha!

I wanted to see Princess Zelda!
I avoided the guards...
Swam through the moat...
I was almost there when they caught me!
I found a small drain hole on the right side of
the castle that I thought I could sneak into, but
I got stuck there.

*Dancing (male) lover:

Ohh...
You are...
more beautiful...
than Princess Zelda...
Ohh...

*Soldier in front of Hyrule Castle's fence:

So you say you want to see Princess Zelda, eh?
You probably heard about her in town and decided
you had to meet her... Well...
Go home! Get out of here!
The Princess would never grant an audience to the
likes of you!

*Zelda, when you meet her for first time:

!
Who?!
Who are you?
How did you get past the guards?
Oh? What's that?
Is that...
a fairy?!
Then, are you...
Are you from the forest?
Then...then...you wouldn't happen to have... the
Spiritual Stone of the Forest, would you?! That
green and shining stone...
Do you have it?

I had a dream... In the dream, dark storm clouds
were billowing over the land of Hyrule...
But suddenly, a ray of light shot out of the
forest, parted the clouds and lit up the ground...
The light turned into a figure holding a green and
shining stone, followed by a fairy...
I know this is a prophecy that someone would come
from the forest...
Yes, I thought you might be the one...
Oh, I'm sorry!
I got carried away with my story and didn't even
properly introduce myself!
I am Zelda, Princess of Hyrule.

I forgot to tell you...
I was spying through this window just now...
The other element from my dream...the dark
clouds...
I believe they symbolize...
that man in there!
Will you look through the window at him?
Can you see the man with the evil eyes?
That is Ganondorf, the leader of the Gerudos. They
hail from the desert far to the west.
Though he swears allegiance to my father, I am
sure he is not sincere.
The dark clouds that covered Hyrule in my dream...
They must symbolize that man!

I...I am afraid...
I have a feeling that man is going to destroy
Hyrule.
He has such terrifying power!
But it's fortunate that you have come...
We must not let Ganondorf get the Triforce!
I will protect the Ocarina of Time with all my
power!
He shall not have it!
You go find the other two Spiritual Stones!
Let's get the Triforce before Ganondorf does, and
then defeat him!

*Impa, the first time you meet her:

I am Impa of the Sheikahs.
I am responsible for protecting Princess Zelda.
Everything is exactly as the Princess foretold.
You are a courageous boy...
You are heading out on a big, new adventure,
aren't you?
My role in the Princess's dream was to teach a
melody to the one from the forest.
This is an ancient melody passed down by the Royal
Family.
I have played this song for Princess Zelda as a
lullaby ever since she was a baby...

*Soldier guarding the entrance to Death Mountain:

Oh, this is...
This is surely Princess Zelda's handwriting! Well,
let's see...
Hmmm... OK...
"This is Link...
He is under my orders to save Hyrule."
Wah ha ha ha hah!
What kind of funny game has our Princess come up
with now?!
OK, OK, all right. You can go now... Just be
careful, Mr. Hero!

*Ganondorf, after losing Impa and Zelda:

Arrrrgh! I lost her!

*Zelda, while communicating telepathically with you with the Ocarina of Time:

Link...Can you hear me?
It's me, Zelda...
Link, when you hold this Ocarina in your hand...
I won't be around anymore...
I wanted to wait for you, but I couldn't delay any
longer...
At least I could leave you the Ocarina and this
melody...
This song opens the Door of Time...
Now, Link.
Play this melody in front of the altar in the
Temple of Time.
You must protect the Triforce!

*Gossip Stone near Hyrule Castle:

They say that, contrary to her elegant image,
Princess Zelda of Hyrule Castle is, in fact, a
tomboy!

*Ruto, after awakening as a Sage:

And you... You're searching for the princess,
Zelda?
Hah!
You can't hide anything from me!
Princess Zelda... She's alive. I can sense it...so
don't be discouraged.

*Impa, after awakening as a Sage:

The boy with the noble Zelda's Ocarina...As I
expected, you have come.
I am Impa, one of the Sheikah. I am Princess
Zelda's caretaker, and I am also the Sage who
guards the Shadow Temple.
We Sheikah have served the royalty of Hyrule from
generation to generation as attendants. However...
On that day seven years ago, Ganondorf suddenly
attacked... and Hyrule Castle surrendered after a
short time.
Ganondorf's target was one of the keys to the
Sacred Realm...the hidden treasure of the Royal
Family... The Ocarina of Time!
My duty bound me to take Zelda out of Ganondorf's
reach. When last I saw you, as we made our escape
from the castle, you were just a lad...
Now I see that you have become a fine hero...
There's nothing to worry about...The Princess is
safe now.
Soon, you'll meet Princess Zelda face-to-face, and
she will explain everything...
That is when we, the six Wise Ones, will seal up
the Evil King and return peace to Hyrule.
I have to stay here... You go to Princess Zelda's
side and protect her on my behalf.

*Rauru, after Link awakens all the Sages:

Link, the hero!
Finally, all of us, the six Sages, have been
awakened!
The time for the final showdown with the King of
Evil has come!
Before that, though, you should meet the one who
is waiting for you...
The one who is waiting for you at the Temple of
Time...

*Sheik/Zelda, in the Temple of Time:

And the other, who holds the Triforce of Wisdom...
is the seventh Sage, who is destined to be the
leader of them all...
(Sheik reveals himself as Zelda)
It is I, the Princess of Hyrule, Zelda.
I apologize for meeting you in disguise, but it
was necessary to hide from the King of Evil.
Please forgive me...
On that day, seven years ago, Ganondorf attacked
Hyrule Castle.
I saw you as I was escaping from the castle with
my attendant, Impa.
I thought I should entrust the Ocarina to you... I
thought that would be our best chance...
As long as you had the Ocarina in your possession,
I thought Ganondorf could never enter the Sacred
Realm, but...
something I could never expect happened...
After you opened the door of time, the Master
Sword sealed you away in the Sacred Realm...
Your spirit remained in the Sacred Realm...and
then the Triforce fell into Ganondorf's hands.
He went on to invade the Sacred Realm...
Ganondorf had become the Evil King, and the Sacred
Realm became a world of evil. All of this is an
unfortunate coincidence.
I passed myself off as a Sheikah and hoped that
you would return. I waited for seven years...
And...now you are back. The dark age ruled by
Ganondorf the Evil King will end!
The six Sages will open the sealed door and lure
Ganondorf back into the Sacred Realm.
I will then seal the door to the Sacred Realm from
this world.
Thus, Ganondorf the Evil King will vanish from
Hyrule.
Link...
In order to do this, I need your courage again.
Please protect me while I do my part.
And here is a weapon that can penetrate the Evil
King's defenses...
The power given to the chosen ones...
The sacred Arrow of Light!!!

*Ganondorf, while kidnapping Zelda:

Princess Zelda...you foolish traitor!
I commend you for avoiding my pursuit for seven
long years.
But you let your guard down...
I knew you would appear if I let this kid wander
around!
My only mistake was to slightly underestimate the
power of this kid...
No...
It was not the kid's power I misjudged, it was the
power of the Triforce of Courage!
But, with the Triforce of Wisdom that Zelda has...
When I obtain these two Triforces...
Then, I will become the true ruler of the world!!
If you want to rescue Zelda, come to my castle!

*Rauru, before creating the rainbow bridge:

Bring down the six barriers and save Princess
Zelda!!

*Impa, while destroying the Shadow barrier:

The Shadow Barrier is dispelled!
Please save the Princess!

*Zelda, after Ganon's Castle is destroyed:

It's over...it's finally over...

*Zelda, while holding Ganon with his magic:

I'm using my power to hold the Evil King! You use
your sword and deliver the final blow!

*Zelda, over the clouds:

Thank you, Link...
Thanks to you, Ganondorf has been sealed inside
the Evil Realm!
Thus, peace will once again reign in this
world...for a time.
All the tragedy that has befallen Hyrule was my
doing...
I was so young...I could not comprehend the
consequences of trying to control the Sacred Realm.
I dragged you into it, too. Now it is time for me
to make up for my mistakes...
You must lay the Master Sword to rest and close
the Door of Time...
However, by doing this, the road between times
will be closed...
Link, give the Ocarina to me...
As a Sage, I can return you to your original time
with it.
When peace returns to Hyrule...
It will be time for us to say good-bye...
Now, go home, Link.
Regain your lost time!
Home...
where you are supposed to be...
the way you are supposed to be...
Thank you...
Link...
Good-bye.

Princess Zelda in ALttP

2006-03-14T20:24:48Z

Arturo: /* See also */

{{stub}}

==Description==

The first yellow-haired blond, blue-eyed Zelda introduced. Originally, Zelda wore a blue with white dress, with a black belt. She wears a thin tiara, Triforce-shaped earrings, and on her left wrist a bracelet.

In the ALttP port to GBA, Zelda design and outfit changed to better reflect the outfit worn by Zeldas in later games. She wears a pink and white dress with fancy markings. Her golden tiara is full and elegant, and she wears many golden accessories. Like Zelda from LoZ, she wears a red beaded necklace.

==Miscellaneous Notes==

There are actually two different pieces of Official Art for Zelda in this game. For it turns out to be that her Artwork was redone for the rerelease of ALttP for the GBA. As clearly visible this newer version looks much more similar to the Zelda of the other games.

==Description==

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.

==Biography==

==Zelda in SSBM==
Adult Zelda from OoT is also a playable character in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Smash_Brothers:_Melee Super Smash Brothers: Melee] In this game she can use different and quite powerful magic attacks, together with variations of Link's magic attacks in OoT. Although she's quite slow and can't jump very high, this is not important because of her ability of transforming in her alter ego. In this game her voice acting was done by: Jun Mizusawa.

Zelda trophies:

The crown princess of Hyrule. Zelda entrusted Link
with the future of Hyrule after a revelation came
to her in the world of dreams. She knows much
about the Triforce; in fact, the only person who
likely knows more about Triforce lore is Ganondorf
himself, whom Zelda evaded in Ocarina of Time by
transforming into her alter ego, Sheik.

Zelda is a bit slow and, because of her light
frame, easy to send flying. On the other hand, her
magical skills lend her reliable and explosive
attack power. Zelda's easier to use if you focus
on waiting and countering rather than pressing
attacks. She can use Nayru's Love to reflect
projectile attacks or as an offensive weapon.

Zelda's midair Lightning Kick centers immense
magical power in the ball of her foot. If she
strikes perfectly, the attack is as strong as can
be. If her aim is slightly off, it'll be
exceedingly weak. Farore's Wind again utilizes
Zelda's magical prowess, this time by transporting
her great distances. It's vital to know the lay of
the land before using this move.

==Miscellaneous Notes==

In LA Zelda makes a minor appearance: when Link wakes up at the beggining of the game, he first confuses [[Marin]] with her. Zelda isn't mentioned anymore in the whole game

==Relevant Quotes==

*Marin, when Link wakes up:

What a relief! I
thought you'd
never wake up!
You were tossing

No, my name's

a little woozy.
You are on

Princess Zelda in AoL

==Description==
The sleeping princess of Hyrule. This red-headed Zelda rests eternally wearing a pink dress with white trim.

==Biography==

[[Image:Zelda_AoL.gif]]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".

The princess featured in AoL is actually a different Zelda than the one seen in the NES prequel. AoL Zelda's story is told in the manual as "The Legend of Zelda", and Zelda in AoL is usually called the "Sleeping Zelda." As Impa explains, the legend took place centuries before AoL. Impa is the one who actually tells Link this legend because it is his destiny is to awaken this sleeping Zelda by obtaining the Triforce of Courage and reuniting it with the other two pieces.

==Description==

===Overall===
The hero and main playable character of all the Zelda games. Eventhough he is the main character there is actually not that much known about him. This is mainly due to the fact that in all games he appears to be (or act) mute; that is he never speaks for himself so you never get to hear much about his personality and such things. The main trademarks of Link's appearance are his pointy ears that all Hylians share, green fairy clothes including his trademark pointy green cap and his trusty sword & shield.

[[Image:LinkYoung_OoT.png|left|120px]]
Link in OoT, the [[Hero of Time]], is perhaps the most well-known and revered hero in Hylian history.

At first thought to be a little Kokiri from the forest, Link is the son of a proud Hylian mother. After the [[Great Deku Tree]] passes on, Link is given a task to perform: find the [[Princess of Destiny]], [[Princess Zelda]]. The princess tells him to get two of the [[Spiritual Stones]] (he already had the [[Spiritual Stone of Forest]] entrsuted to him by the Deku Tree), passed down the [[Goron]]s, and the [[Zoras]] and use them with the [[The Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]] to protect the [[Triforce]], or, to be strictly accurate, obtain the Triforce before [[Ganondorf]], who came to [[Hyrule]] to get it.

But this plan backfires when Zelda is chased from [[Hyrule Castle|her castle]] by Ganondorf to go into hiding. She entrusts Link with the Ocarina, so he can open the [[Door of Time]], the barrier that protects the Triforce, inside the [[Temple of Time]] himself to obtain the Triforce. However, behind the door was not the entrance of the [[Sacred Realm]] (the resting place of the Triforce) itself, but a final safeguard for protecting it. This safeguard was the [[Master Sword]], the Sword of Evil's Bane. Only a person deserving of the title of "Hero of Time" could pull it from the [[Pedestal of Time]].

At the moment Link lifts the sword from the pedestal, his spirit is sealed inside the [[Temple of Light]], the temple where the Triforce rests, leaving open the entrance to it, so Ganondorf is able toget it.

[[Image:LinkAdult_OoT.png|right|120px]]
Link is locked in sleep for seven years until [[Rauru (Sage)|Rauru, the Sage of Light]] awakens him, telling him that because Ganondorf obtained the Triforce and became tyrant of Hyrule, Link, with the Master Sword, must be the prophesied Hero of Time, the only one able to awaken the rest of the Sages, so they can seal the [[Evil King]] inside the [[Evil Realm]] that the resting place of the Triforce has become.

After Link awakens all the [[Six Sages]], he finds Princess Zelda.

Or rather, she finds him, since she was watching him the whole time in the guise of a male [[Sheikah]] warrior, [[Sheik]]and now revealed herself to be Zelda, as well as revealing that Ganondorf had only got the [[Triforce of Power]], and telling him he's the holder of the [[Triforce of Courage]], and she the holder of the [[Triforce of Wisdom]] and the [[Seventh Sage]]. At the end, Using the power of the [[Seven Sages]], they are able to seal the Evil King inside the Evil Realm.

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===
The first princess of the series, Zelda is the kidnapped princess of Hyrule kingdom. She's blond-haired, and wears a white and pink dress. Around her neck she wears a red beaded necklace, and she wears a thin tiara with a red jewel in the center.

===The Adventure of Link===
The sleeping princess of Hyrule. This red-headed Zelda rests eternally wearing a pink dress with white trim.

===A Link to the Past===
The first yellow-haired blond, blue-eyed Zelda introduced. Originally, Zelda wore a blue with white dress, with a black belt. She wears a thin tiara, Triforce-shaped earrings, and on her left wrist a bracelet.

In the ALttP port to GBA, Zelda design and outfit changed to better reflect the outfit worn by Zeldas in later games. She wears a pink and white dress with fancy markings. Her golden tiara is full and elegant, and she wears many golden accessories. Like Zelda from LoZ, she wears a red beaded necklace.

===Ocarina of Time===

The design for Zelda in OoT marks the first [[Image:ZeldaChildArt_OoT.gif|right|120px]]appearance of what would become her common outfit, with later games depicting a Zelda wearing a similair outfit.

The blond-haired, blue-eyed Zelda design continues. As a child, she wears pink over a white dress over a blue, long-sleeved shirt. Rather than a tiara, Zelda wears a cloth hood, with a golden crest featuring a Triforce symbol. Her necklace is gold, but holds a red stone in the center. She also sports a gold belt, and golden bracelets.

As an adult, Zelda wears a golden tiara with a red stone. Her dress is similar in colors, with more blue in place of pink. She wears Triforce-shaped earrings.

Both as a child and an adult, Zelda's outfit bears the mark of the Triforce and the [[Hylia Mark]].

[[Image:Zelda_adult_oot.jpg|left|180px]]Psychologically, Zelda is possibly the most complex character of the series. She is really wise, even before she becomes the holder of the [[Triforce of Wisdom]]. She is, however, quite imprudent, revealing herself as the Seventh Sage in a place where she can be captured (and in fact, is). From her dependance of her attendant [[Impa]], she evolves to become a strong woman able to escape from Ganondorf for seven years, by disguising herself as a man. She becomes a warrior, someone able to fight and do her own heroic deeds. But then, she becomes as weak as she was when she was a child, dependant on the help of Link.

She is a strong leader. Even as a child, she's interested in matters of government. She does everything to protect the beautiful land of [[Hyrule]]. When she introduces herself, she emphasizes her right to the throne: she's not just Zelda, but Zelda, the Princess of Hyrule. She is also highly educated. She knows many (if not all) of the legends of Hyrule; she can write poetry; she can play two instruments, the ocarina and the harp. She is a master of human feelings.

Strong, but weak; wise, but imprudent; sensible, but naïve... Zelda in OoT is a world of contradictions.

===Majora's Mask===

The Zelda of MM is the same as the one of OoT. Her appearance is, because of this, the same as the child Zelda from OoT. The only difference is that she appears just in black and white.

==Biography==

===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]].

===The Legend of Zelda===

[[Image:Zelda_Loz.gif]]
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.

[[Image:ZeldaArt_LoZ.jpg|center|100px]]

===The Adventure of link===

[[Image:Zelda_AoL.gif]]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".

The princess featured in AoL is actually a different Zelda than the one seen in the NES prequel. AoL Zelda's story is told in the manual as "The Legend of Zelda", and Zelda in AoL is usually called the "Sleeping Zelda." As Impa explains, the legend took place centuries before AoL. Impa is the one who actually tells Link this legend because it is his destiny is to awaken this sleeping Zelda by obtaining the Triforce of Courage and reuniting it with the other two pieces.

===Ocarina of Time===

====The Princess of Destiny====

Zelda is the beloved only daughter of the (possibly) widow [[King of Hyrule]]. As the true heir to the throne she's been instructed in all the legends of Hyrule, legends she know perfectly. She is entrusted with one of the four keys to the [[Sacred Realm]], [[The Ocarina of Time]].
Since her birth, she has been protected by her muscular attendant, [[Impa]] the [[Sheikah]]. One of her functions was to play the [[Zelda's Lullaby|ancient and mysterious melody passed down the Royal Family]] as a lullaby for the princess. Maybe because of this, she started to have prophetic dreams that were never wrong. The divination powers of the princess were quickly spread in all [[Hyrule Castle Town]].

With one of her prophetic dreams began the disgrace that would befall Hyrule. In her words:

I had a dream... In the dream, dark storm clouds
were billowing over the land of Hyrule...
But suddenly, a ray of light shot out of the
forest, parted the clouds and lit up the ground...
The light turned into a figure holding a green and
shining stone, followed by a fairy...

[[Image:ZeldaChild OoT.png|left|150px]]In her dream she also saw Impa, who had the role of teaching the melody she had used as [[Zelda's Lullaby]] to the boy from the forest. She also was able to understand who the dark clouds represented in the dream, [[Ganondorf|Ganondorf, the leader of the Gerudos]]She told the dream to her father, to whom Ganondorf has swore allegiance, but he didn't believe it was nothing more than a mere dream.

While Zelda is spying Ganondorf through a window, Link arrives to the [[Castle Courtyard]] looking for the [[Princess of Destiny]]. Zelda immediately recognizes him as the forest boy from her dream, and asks him whether he has the [[Kokiri's Emerald|Spiritual Stone of Forest]], the shining green stone of her dream. She tells her what she has dreamed and her suspects about Ganondorf. She plans how to protect the Sacred Realm from Ganondorf, so she commands Link to look for the other two [[Spiritual Stones]] while she protects the Ocarina of Time with all her power. By keeping away the four keys of the [[Door of Time]] from Ganondorf. That way he would never get the [[Triforce]]. She also gives him a [[Zelda's Letter|letter]] to make him be able to go to those places that need royal permission.
When Link gets the other two Spiritual Stones, the [[Goron's Ruby]] and the [[Zora's Sapphire]], Ganondorf attacks the [[Hyrule Castle]]. Because of this, Zelda cannot wait for Link any more and has to flee with her attendant, Impa, to a place where Ganondorf can't reach them. As Link arrives to the entrance to Hyrule Castle Town, he sees Zelda and Impa riding in a white horse escaping from Ganondorf. Not being able to give Link the last key to the Door of Time, she throws the Ocarina of Time to the city moat. After Link meets Ganondorf, he dives into the water, taking the Ocarina of Time, and receiving a telepathical message from Zelda where she appears in front of the altar of the [[Temple of Time]] and teaches Link the [[Song of Time]].

[[Image:Zelda_and_impa.jpg|center|frame|Impa and Zelda escaping from Ganondorf OoT MQ| 120px]]
[[Image:Zelda ocarina.jpg|center|frame|Zelda teaching Link the Song of Time telepathically. OoT MQ]]

When Link pulls out the [[Master Sword]] from the [[Pedestal of Time]] something that Zelda didn't predict. Zelda didn't think that there was a fifth key to the Sacred Realm, the Master Sword, and that Link was the legendary [[Hero of Time]], the only one able to pull the sword from its pedestal. Because Link isn't old enough to be the Hero of Time, his spirit is sealed inside the [[Chamber of Sages]], leaving the entrance to the Sacred Realm open to Ganondorf.

[[Image:Sheik.jpg|right]]

====The Seventh Sage====

It's unknown where Impa and Zelda go after they escape from Ganondorf. It's possible that they stay with an unknown Sheikah community, where she is trained in Sheikah magic and techniques. When Ganonodorf gets the Triforce, the ancient prophecy passed down the shadow folk comes true. Because of Ganondorf's heart being unbalanced, the Triforce turns into three pieces: Power, Wisdom and Courage. While the [[Triforce of Power]] remains with Ganondorf, the other two, the [[Triforce of Wisdom]] and the [[Triforce of Courage]] go to the chosen ones: Zelda and Link. Zelda thus becomes the [[Seventh Sage]], who is destined to be the leader of all them. Using the power of her Triforce, Zelda adopts the disguise of a young Sheikah man, Sheik.

Although it's not known how much time Impa and Sheik stay in exile, presumably Impa went quite early to [[Kakariko Village]], to protect it from Ganondorf. What Sheik does until Link wakes up, it's not known. It's possible that she swore allegiance to Ganondorf in order to be able to act with more freedom. She may have also collaborated with Impa at imprisoning the evil spirit of [[Bongo Bongo]], but this is never mentioned.

After Link wakes up, Sheik appears as a kind of guide for the [[Hero of Time]], It's she who writes the new inscription on the altar of the Temple of Time:
The Ocarina of Time opened the
door. The Hero of Time, with the
Master Sword, descended here.
With her poetry and music, she teaches Link those
things he couldn't learn when he was young. Her poems speak about feelings, young love, friendship... or tell the legends passed down the Sheikah folk, those about the Triforce, the Master Sword, the Sages, The Hero of Time and the temples.

[[Image:ZeldaAdult OoT.png|left|180px]]While Link is in the Temples, Sheik does deeds that counterpart those of Ganondorf: she rescues Rutro from the ice, she takes care of Kakariko Village while Link goes to Shadow Temple... But her most important function is to teach Link the warp melodies of the temples.

The fact that Zelda is mentioned very few times before Sheik takes off her disguise helps to cover the secret. Zelda is only mentioned twice. The first time is when Link awakens [[Ruto (Zora)|Ruto]] as a Sage and she tells Link not to be discouraged, because she feels Zelda is alive. A more specific quote is that of Impa, after awakening as a Sage, where she tells Link that soon he would meet Zelda, and she would explain him everything.

It is curious to see that, of the [[Six Sages]], only Ruto mentions Sheik, but it's known that at least [[Rauru (Sage)|Rauru]] and Impa know her. Of them, Ruto doesn't know who Sheik really is, only Impa seems to know something exact about her.
There is only one in-game clue that suggests that Sheik is Zelda. It comes from a [[Gossip Stone]] and says that Princess Zelda, contrary to her elegant image, is a tomboy!

After Link awakens all the Sages, Rauru contacts with Link telepathically, asking him to go to the [[Temple of Time]], where someone's waiting for him. This person is Sheik. Sheik tells Link an unknown legend passed down the Sheikah folk. A legend about the true nature of the Sacred Realm and the Triforce. She explains Link what happened when Ganondorrf got the golden relic: it divides in its three parts, Power, Wisdom and Courage. While the force Ganondorf trusted more, the [[Triforce of Power]], the [[Triforce of Courage]] went to Link and the [[Triforce of Wisdom]] went to the [[Seventh Sage]].
Then Sheik makes her second and almost fatal mistake: using the Triforce of Wisdom she takes her disguise off, revealing herself to be the Seventh Sage Zelda. Then, she tells Link her plan to defeat Ganondorf. It's quite simple, Link would protect Zelda while she gathers the power of the [[Six Sages]] to seal Ganondorf in the void of the [[Evil Realm]]. For this purpose she gives Link a new weapon, one that can penetrate Ganondorf defenses, the sacred [[Light Arrow|Arrow of Light]].
[[Image:LightArrowGet_OoT.jpg|center]]

Then the temple starts to tremble. It's Ganondorf, who has heard all the conversation between Zelda and Link, so he knows who the holders of the Triforce are. He imprisons Zelda in a pink crystal and tells him to go to [[Ganon's Castle|his castle]] to rescue her.

Now Link's mission is to rescue the princess and that's what the Sages tell him to do. Once Ganondorf, Zelda and Link meet in the same room, the Triforce in their hands' backs shine, starting to recombine. After Link defeats Ganondorf, Zelda's imprisonment disappears, releasing her. She, after explaining Link why Ganondorf has died, she notices that he's trying to crash them inside [[Ganon's Tower|the tower]]. Then she guides Link to escape from there, opening with her magic all the locked doors. Once they are out of the castle, they see how it is destroyed. But they hear a noise. It's Ganondorf, who still has enough power to use the Triforce and transform into a giant pig-like creature [[Ganon]]. After a long battle, Zelda uses her magic against Ganon, holding him while Link finishes the evil incarnation with his now shining Master Sword. Then Zelda creates a yellow energy ball, that is used as a portal for the Six Sages power, sealing him inside the Evil Realm.

In the next scene Link and Zelda appear over the clouds. She apologizes to him and explains how all was a fatal coincidence, how all the disgrace was her fault. Then she asks Link for his Ocarina. For she, as one of the [[Seven Sages]], can return him to his original time by using the Ocarina of Time. He gives her really slowly the Ocarina, after holding hands, and then she plays Zelda's Lullaby, making him return to the past. After the ending sequence it's seen how Link and young Zelda meet again.
 

===Majora's Mask===

The only appearance of Zelda in MM is during a short flashback after he recovers [[The Ocarina of Time]]. She teaches Link the [[Song of Time]]. Zelda is the only person Link remembers from [[Hyrule]] and her name is asocciated with the treasure she gave Link, the [[The Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]].
In the flashback Link remembers how (presumably) since he defeats [[Ganondorf]] at the end of OoT he has lived with Zelda, almost certainly in [[Hyrule Castle]]. But Link has to leave her, in order to find a friend long time gone. She lets him go, giving him the Ocarina of Time, and saying she would pray for him. In MM she's Link's only link to the person he was before.

==Miscellaneous Notes==

===ALttP SNES / GBA differences===
There are actually two different pieces of Official Art for Zelda in this game. For it turns out to be that her Artwork was redone for the rerelease of ALttP for the GBA. As clearly visible this newer version looks much more similar to the Zelda of the other games.

===Does she dye her hair?===
[[Image:Zelda_eyebrows_child.jpg|left]]
[[Image:Zelda_eyebrows.jpg|right]]
In OoT there's a curiosity about her sprite, for both child and adult. Their eyebrows are green!
Maybe she forgot to dye her eyebrows... This is not shown in her official artwork, so maybe it's just a mistake of the game designers .

===The healthy and rich princess===
In OoT, when Link and Zelda are escaping from [[Ganon's Tower]] she is once imprisoned by a circle of fire that doesn't disappear until Link defeats the two [[Stalfos]] that appear then. After that, Zelda gives Link three [[Heart|hearts]] to heal him. If he has already alll the hearts full, she throws three [[Rupee|Rupees]].

==Zelda in SSBM==
Adult Zelda from OoT is also a playable character in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Smash_Brothers:_Melee Super Smash Brothers: Melee] In this game she can use different and quite powerful magic attacks, together with variations of Link's magic attacks in OoT. Although she's quite slow and can't jump very high, this is not important because of her ability of transforming in her alter ego. In this game her voice acting was done by: Jun Mizusawa.

Zelda trophies:

The crown princess of Hyrule. Zelda entrusted Link
with the future of Hyrule after a revelation came
to her in the world of dreams. She knows much
about the Triforce; in fact, the only person who
likely knows more about Triforce lore is Ganondorf
himself, whom Zelda evaded in Ocarina of Time by
transforming into her alter ego, Sheik.

Zelda is a bit slow and, because of her light
frame, easy to send flying. On the other hand, her
magical skills lend her reliable and explosive
attack power. Zelda's easier to use if you focus
on waiting and countering rather than pressing
attacks. She can use Nayru's Love to reflect
projectile attacks or as an offensive weapon.

Zelda's midair Lightning Kick centers immense
magical power in the ball of her foot. If she
strikes perfectly, the attack is as strong as can
be. If her aim is slightly off, it'll be
exceedingly weak. Farore's Wind again utilizes
Zelda's magical prowess, this time by transporting
her great distances. It's vital to know the lay of
the land before using this move.

===A Link to the Past===

===Ocarina of Time===

*Great Deku Tree, after you destroy the curse:

Link...
Go now to Hyrule Castle...
There, thou will surely meet the Princess of
Destiny...
Take this stone with you.
The stone that man wanted so much, that he cast
the curse on me...

*People in Hyrule Castle Town:

Hey, have you heard that Princess Zelda sees
prophetic visions in her dreams?

Wha-ha-ha! What a crazy guy!
Can you believe that this guy was crazy enough to
try to sneak into the castle to see Princess Zelda?
All because of this idiot, they've tightened
security at the castle.
Wha-ha-ha!

I wanted to see Princess Zelda!
I avoided the guards...
Swam through the moat...
I was almost there when they caught me!
I found a small drain hole on the right side of
the castle that I thought I could sneak into, but
I got stuck there.

*Dancing (male) lover:

Ohh...
You are...
more beautiful...
than Princess Zelda...
Ohh...

*Soldier in front of Hyrule Castle's fence:

So you say you want to see Princess Zelda, eh?
You probably heard about her in town and decided
you had to meet her... Well...
Go home! Get out of here!
The Princess would never grant an audience to the
likes of you!

*Zelda, when you meet her for first time:

!
Who?!
Who are you?
How did you get past the guards?
Oh? What's that?
Is that...
a fairy?!
Then, are you...
Are you from the forest?
Then...then...you wouldn't happen to have... the
Spiritual Stone of the Forest, would you?! That
green and shining stone...
Do you have it?

I had a dream... In the dream, dark storm clouds
were billowing over the land of Hyrule...
But suddenly, a ray of light shot out of the
forest, parted the clouds and lit up the ground...
The light turned into a figure holding a green and
shining stone, followed by a fairy...
I know this is a prophecy that someone would come
from the forest...
Yes, I thought you might be the one...
Oh, I'm sorry!
I got carried away with my story and didn't even
properly introduce myself!
I am Zelda, Princess of Hyrule.

I forgot to tell you...
I was spying through this window just now...
The other element from my dream...the dark
clouds...
I believe they symbolize...
that man in there!
Will you look through the window at him?
Can you see the man with the evil eyes?
That is Ganondorf, the leader of the Gerudos. They
hail from the desert far to the west.
Though he swears allegiance to my father, I am
sure he is not sincere.
The dark clouds that covered Hyrule in my dream...
They must symbolize that man!

I...I am afraid...
I have a feeling that man is going to destroy
Hyrule.
He has such terrifying power!
But it's fortunate that you have come...
We must not let Ganondorf get the Triforce!
I will protect the Ocarina of Time with all my
power!
He shall not have it!
You go find the other two Spiritual Stones!
Let's get the Triforce before Ganondorf does, and
then defeat him!

*Impa, the first time you meet her:

I am Impa of the Sheikahs.
I am responsible for protecting Princess Zelda.
Everything is exactly as the Princess foretold.
You are a courageous boy...
You are heading out on a big, new adventure,
aren't you?
My role in the Princess's dream was to teach a
melody to the one from the forest.
This is an ancient melody passed down by the Royal
Family.
I have played this song for Princess Zelda as a
lullaby ever since she was a baby...

*Soldier guarding the entrance to Death Mountain:

Oh, this is...
This is surely Princess Zelda's handwriting! Well,
let's see...
Hmmm... OK...
"This is Link...
He is under my orders to save Hyrule."
Wah ha ha ha hah!
What kind of funny game has our Princess come up
with now?!
OK, OK, all right. You can go now... Just be
careful, Mr. Hero!

*Ganondorf, after losing Impa and Zelda:

Arrrrgh! I lost her!

*Zelda, while communicating telepathically with you with the Ocarina of Time:

Link...Can you hear me?
It's me, Zelda...
Link, when you hold this Ocarina in your hand...
I won't be around anymore...
I wanted to wait for you, but I couldn't delay any
longer...
At least I could leave you the Ocarina and this
melody...
This song opens the Door of Time...
Now, Link.
Play this melody in front of the altar in the
Temple of Time.
You must protect the Triforce!

*Gossip Stone near Hyrule Castle:

They say that, contrary to her elegant image,
Princess Zelda of Hyrule Castle is, in fact, a
tomboy!

*Ruto, after awakening as a Sage:

And you... You're searching for the princess,
Zelda?
Hah!
You can't hide anything from me!
Princess Zelda... She's alive. I can sense it...so
don't be discouraged.

*Impa, after awakening as a Sage:

The boy with the noble Zelda's Ocarina...As I
expected, you have come.
I am Impa, one of the Sheikah. I am Princess
Zelda's caretaker, and I am also the Sage who
guards the Shadow Temple.
We Sheikah have served the royalty of Hyrule from
generation to generation as attendants. However...
On that day seven years ago, Ganondorf suddenly
attacked... and Hyrule Castle surrendered after a
short time.
Ganondorf's target was one of the keys to the
Sacred Realm...the hidden treasure of the Royal
Family... The Ocarina of Time!
My duty bound me to take Zelda out of Ganondorf's
reach. When last I saw you, as we made our escape
from the castle, you were just a lad...
Now I see that you have become a fine hero...
There's nothing to worry about...The Princess is
safe now.
Soon, you'll meet Princess Zelda face-to-face, and
she will explain everything...
That is when we, the six Wise Ones, will seal up
the Evil King and return peace to Hyrule.
I have to stay here... You go to Princess Zelda's
side and protect her on my behalf.

*Rauru, after Link awakens all the Sages:

Link, the hero!
Finally, all of us, the six Sages, have been
awakened!
The time for the final showdown with the King of
Evil has come!
Before that, though, you should meet the one who
is waiting for you...
The one who is waiting for you at the Temple of
Time...

*Sheik/Zelda, in the Temple of Time:

And the other, who holds the Triforce of Wisdom...
is the seventh Sage, who is destined to be the
leader of them all...
(Sheik reveals himself as Zelda)
It is I, the Princess of Hyrule, Zelda.
I apologize for meeting you in disguise, but it
was necessary to hide from the King of Evil.
Please forgive me...
On that day, seven years ago, Ganondorf attacked
Hyrule Castle.
I saw you as I was escaping from the castle with
my attendant, Impa.
I thought I should entrust the Ocarina to you... I
thought that would be our best chance...
As long as you had the Ocarina in your possession,
I thought Ganondorf could never enter the Sacred
Realm, but...
something I could never expect happened...
After you opened the door of time, the Master
Sword sealed you away in the Sacred Realm...
Your spirit remained in the Sacred Realm...and
then the Triforce fell into Ganondorf's hands.
He went on to invade the Sacred Realm...
Ganondorf had become the Evil King, and the Sacred
Realm became a world of evil. All of this is an
unfortunate coincidence.
I passed myself off as a Sheikah and hoped that
you would return. I waited for seven years...
And...now you are back. The dark age ruled by
Ganondorf the Evil King will end!
The six Sages will open the sealed door and lure
Ganondorf back into the Sacred Realm.
I will then seal the door to the Sacred Realm from
this world.
Thus, Ganondorf the Evil King will vanish from
Hyrule.
Link...
In order to do this, I need your courage again.
Please protect me while I do my part.
And here is a weapon that can penetrate the Evil
King's defenses...
The power given to the chosen ones...
The sacred Arrow of Light!!!

*Ganondorf, while kidnapping Zelda:

Princess Zelda...you foolish traitor!
I commend you for avoiding my pursuit for seven
long years.
But you let your guard down...
I knew you would appear if I let this kid wander
around!
My only mistake was to slightly underestimate the
power of this kid...
No...
It was not the kid's power I misjudged, it was the
power of the Triforce of Courage!
But, with the Triforce of Wisdom that Zelda has...
When I obtain these two Triforces...
Then, I will become the true ruler of the world!!
If you want to rescue Zelda, come to my castle!

*Rauru, before creating the rainbow bridge:

Bring down the six barriers and save Princess
Zelda!!

*Impa, while destroying the Shadow barrier:

The Shadow Barrier is dispelled!
Please save the Princess!

*Zelda, after Ganon's Castle is destroyed:

It's over...it's finally over...

*Zelda, while holding Ganon with his magic:

I'm using my power to hold the Evil King! You use
your sword and deliver the final blow!

*Zelda, over the clouds:

Thank you, Link...
Thanks to you, Ganondorf has been sealed inside
the Evil Realm!
Thus, peace will once again reign in this
world...for a time.
All the tragedy that has befallen Hyrule was my
doing...
I was so young...I could not comprehend the
consequences of trying to control the Sacred Realm.
I dragged you into it, too. Now it is time for me
to make up for my mistakes...
You must lay the Master Sword to rest and close
the Door of Time...
However, by doing this, the road between times
will be closed...
Link, give the Ocarina to me...
As a Sage, I can return you to your original time
with it.
When peace returns to Hyrule...
It will be time for us to say good-bye...
Now, go home, Link.
Regain your lost time!
Home...
where you are supposed to be...
the way you are supposed to be...
Thank you...
Link...
Good-bye.

==Description==

ReDeads are a type of zombie-like creature living in crypts or dark and haunted places.

The ReDeads feed by sucking life energy from their poor victims. To do that, they freeze their targets with horror by a direct look in the eyes. Then they approach slowly, and if the ReDead comes close enough it jumps on the back of its prey and bites the victim, draining their energy. You can throw off the ReDead if you struggle enough.

The ReDeads are created by evil magic, so, Light arrows or other weapons similar are effective against the ghoul. Summoning light in the area (like the reflect of a Mirror Shield or playing the Sun's Song) can freeze them temporily.

In Majora's Mask, wearing a certain type of mask makes ReDeads dance and makes them completely unable to attack.

ReDead
Its gaze will paralyze you. If it
bites you, tap any button to
escape!

[[Tatl]]'s Description:
ReDead...
If it catches you in its paralyzing
glare, you won't be able to move.
Shake it off if you get caught!

[[Gossip Stone]]:
The ReDeads in Ikana were once
members of the castle's dancing
troupe...

[[Gossip Stone]]:
It seems the ReDeads that appear
in Ikana Castle start dancing when
the Captain's Hat, Gibdo Mask or
Garo's Mask are worn.
But that does not change things
much...

Nintendo Power Gallery Description:
ReDead
Habitat: Earth Temple
Least Favorite Thing: Mirror Shield 
These undead creatures live only in the
darkest depths of the earth. Their icy cold
gazes paralyze their victims with fear.
Try to attack them from behind.

Ache

==Description==

This species of bat lives in dark places, like caves, forests, and palaces. They can usually be found hanging upside down from trees or cave walls. When approached, they swoop down at their target and back up again, repeating this attack until the threat has disappeared. Sometimes Aches swoop away from their target, sometimes toward. It is impossible to tell which attack the Ache will perform, but it usually repeats the same thing attack.

Unlike the closely related [[Keese]], some Aches have the ability to transform. (While a [[Vire]] will split into two Keeses when defeated, two Keeses have not been known to combine to form a Vire. Some Aches, on the other hand, have the power to transform into any form by themselves.) Red Aches will fly to the ground and transform into what is known as an [[Acheman]]. The Acheman is a red, batlike devil, similar to a Vire, that throws fire at its enemy.

[[Image:AcheAttack_AoL.png|center]]

Other Aches have been known to disguise themselves as normal [[Hyrulian]] citizens, and walk the streets of crowded villages. If cornered, they revert back into Ache form and perform their standard attack. For example, the water town of [[Saria, Town of|Saria]] is infiltrated with violet-colored Aches disguised as normal women. When spoken to, they will claim to know nothing, and then revert to their original form. It is unclear why the Aches would do this; perhaps they are spying for [[Ganon]]. This seems to be collaborated by the statement of a man standing by [[Saria (Town)]]'s entrance: "Eyes of Ganon are everywhere. Be careful."

Not all Aches are bad. A red Ache lives in a house in [[Nabooru, Town of|Nabooru]], presumably as a tame pet, or perhaps as an equal to the house's owner. It can be found sleeping close to the roof. If bothered enough times, it will tell you how to find a [[Heart Container|heart piece]].
