Biography
Tetra commands a pirate crew and becomes one of Link’s most important allies. Her personal history is more closely connected to the main conflict than her opening role suggests.
Appearance
Tetra has blonde hair tied up high, a neck scarf and practical pirate clothing.
Personality
She is assertive, sarcastic and capable, often challenging Link while also helping him. Her leadership is shown through decisive action rather than formal royal ceremony.
Role in the story
Her crew connects several early events, while later revelations change the significance of her identity. Those revelations are substantial story spoilers and differ from a simple companion recruitment.
Gameplay and encounters
When the pirate ship becomes the current objective, speak to the relevant crew members and complete its local tasks. Tetra’s involvement does not mean the ship is freely available as a replacement for the King of Red Lions.
