Princess Zelda (ゼルダ姫) is a playable character in Hyrule Warriors. One of the mainstay characters of the Legend of Zelda franchise, she has appeared in almost every title within the series. Her roles always vary, from being a damsel in distress, to being a kind ruler, to even a funny sidekick that accompanies Link on his journey. She is always one who bears the Triforce of Wisdom in all incarnations of her character.

Role in Game

This iteration of Princess Zelda is the newly crowned monarch of Hyrule, and a courageous leader who personally leads her troops to battle. Within her lies the Triforce of Wisdom. Due to her ties with Link, Zelda finds herself kidnapped by the evil witch Cia.

Character Information

Development

When developing Princess Zelda for a Warriors-style game, designers felt she needed to come off as a strong character, both physically and emotionally. She was designed to have an aura of a poised and confident ruler, despite having only been recently crowned its ruling monarch. The developers stated that this current depiction of Zelda being strong was quite natural since they wanted to show how normal it was for someone like her to have that kind of power in the first place.

Personality

Princess Zelda is depicted as a dignified figure who calmly assesses any dire situation before making a decision.

Fighting Style

With the rapier, Princess Zelda is light on her feet as she can perform powerful light-elemental fencing techniques and summon her arrows of light to take down enemies from a distance. She also has access to three golden orbs that appear beneath her Musou bar. When storing magic to these orbs via C1, her other charge attacks will be enhanced.
