Princess Zelda

Zelda’s identity in this adventure is tied to Tetra and the history of the submerged kingdom. The revelation connects Link’s island rescue voyage with an older conflict involving Ganondorf and the Triforce.

• Story: Learning the royal identity changes the danger around the journey and leads toward the final confrontation. Zelda later contributes directly to the last encounter under its specific cooperative conditions.
• In the game: Follow the final encounter’s timing and cooperative setup when Zelda assists. She is not a permanently selectable world-travel partner with a normal equipment menu.
