The Minish Cap, Four Swords, and Four Swords Adventures: These Zeldas are technically different from one another, but their roles in their respective games are largely the same.Knowing that Skyward Sword's Zelda is the progenitor of all Zeldas to come retroactively informs the princess' in every game, both past and future. It's this character moment that elevates her from a two-dimensional side character to the foundation upon which every other Zelda would be built. Zelda explains to Link that, although she is the physical embodiment of the goddess, she is still his Zelda.

Her friendship with Link is established and fleshed out early on, and the late-game reveal that Zelda is Hylia incarnate serves to enhance the relationship between the two. Skyward Sword: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword's Zelda is canonically the first Zelda to exist.Audiences have seen Zelda act as a hero for her people here and there, but this was the first time a version of Zelda got to play the villain. It's Hilda's late-game villain reveal, though, that solidifies her as one of the best incarnations of Zelda. While Zelda is (predictably) captured for the majority of the game, Hilda works with Link to help him rid the darkness enveloping Lorule and take down the villain Yuga. With Link traveling between Hyrule and Lorule, both Zelda and Hilda are major characters in the game. Along with it, players are introduced to Lorule's princess, Hilda. A Link Between Worlds: The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds establishes Lorule, the dark twin world of Hyrule.

The reveal that Sheik was actually Zelda went a long way for establishing that Zelda didn't have to be a typical princess in every game. When she fails, she trains for seven years with the Sheikah to become a spy so that she can help Link when he wakes up. For one, as a child, she goes up against Ganondorf alongside Link. Ocarina of Time: Players don't get to see very much of Zelda's personality through dialogue in Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, but she has some crucial actions that speak to her character much more than words ever could.While Link is traditionally the embodiment of courage, Link learns to be courageous from Tetra in Wind Waker, turning a trope of Zelda lore on its head.

Like most of the more recent titles, Tetra helps Link take down Ganondorf in the final battle, saving Hyrule. They embark on a journey across the sea, and in the process, they discover the hidden history of Hyrule, along with the fact that Tetra is Zelda. Link meets the pirate Tetra at the beginning of the game, who agrees to help link find Link's kidnapped sister.

Wind Waker: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker took the idea of Zelda in disguise that Ocarina established, and turned it up to 11.

It's refreshing that is not only Zelda present for the entire story of Spirit Tracks, but she is also just as much the hero of the story as Link is. Additionally, as a direct descendant of Tetra, Zelda has inherited some of Tetra's signature sass. Players can use Zelda to solve puzzles and defeat enemies, and Zelda is often even stronger than Link. After Zelda's body has been captured, she becomes a spirit version of herself and aids Link on his journey.

Spirit Tracks: The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks is notable largely for the fact that Zelda is playable in the majority of the game.

Zelda's story in Breath of the Wild is that of a hero through and through, from her character flaws to her relationships to her interests to her fears, and finally to her triumph. Throughout the memories, players watch her grow and learn, and her character arc reaches its chilling climax in the final memory at Fort Hateno when she unlocks her power and saves Link. Her plight to awaken the power to seal the darkness offers a glimpse into her struggles with self-doubt and fear of loss. Players learn that she was a passionate scholar, endlessly curious about ancient technology and dedicated to preventing the ominous prophecy of Ganon's return from coming true.

Breath of the Wild: The memories of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild offer players a view into Zelda's character and personality, seeing as how she is absent from much of the game.
