In the original timeline depicted in Breath of the Wild, Urbosa was killed by Thunderblight Ganon with her spirit trapped within Vah Naboris’s control room before Link destroyed her killer ages later and aided in Ganon’s defeat before passing on. In the new timeline created by Terrako, Urbosa’s death was averted when her descendant Riju appeared during her battle against after Thunderblight Ganon with the Gerudo queens fending the monster off before Link arrives to destroy it

Her powers of controlling lighting initially manifested in Urbosa's Fury, which she bestows on Link after defeating Thunderblight Ganon in the original Breath of the Wild and has the effect of attacking nearby enemies with lightning bolts.
