Princess Zelda

Line 29:

Princess Zelda's first appearance was in ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' on the NES, where she served as the damsel-in-distress for [[Link]] to rescue from the evil monster known as [[Ganon]]. She has appeared in some capacity in every installment of ''The Legend of Zelda'' series, with the exception of ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', where she is only mentioned briefly, and ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Triforce Heroes|Tri Force Heroes]]'', where she is referenced via an outfit. While she has typically assumed this role in subsequent games, modern depictions of Zelda have seen her assume an active role in Link's final battles. Notable examples include ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Track|Spirit Tracks]]'' and ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''.

It is worth noting that while there have been multiple games within ''The Legend of Zelda'' series, it has not always been the same Princess Zelda who appears in each installment, with this same notion being shared with Link. This is evident with the fact that are there multiple timelines within the series, wherein many games typically feature a new Zelda. By extension, Zelda's age has varied across the series: she appears as a young girl in some games, and as a teenager or young adult in others.

''Ocarina of Time'' noticeably featured Zelda being portrayed as both a child and an adult in the same game. She is generally depicted as a blonde, although ''Twilight Princess'' portrays her as having light brown hair, and blue eyes, again with exceptions like in ''Twilight Princess'', where her eyes are a lighter, almost grayish shade of blue, in ''Breath of the Wild'', where she is instead portrayed with green eyes, and many of her "toon" designs such as in ''The Wind Waker'', where she simply has black pupils. Zelda's dress is often portrayed as having elaborate designs, and is predominantly colored pink or purple combined with white and occasionally gold, although she also wears a simple blue dress in ''A Link to the Past'', white, robe-like dresses in ''Skyward Sword'' and ''Breath of the Wild'', and a blue tunic with black pants combination as well as a dark blue dress with gold trim in ''Breath of the Wild''. ''Skyward Sword'', on the other hand, is the only game where Zelda herself is not a princess, due to Hyrule's royalty not yet being established during the game's events, but rather the physical embodiment of the goddess Hylia, who chooses Link as her hero in this game.

Zelda's first playable appearance occurred in the {{s|wikipedia|Philips CD-i}} ''The Legend of Zelda'' games, which are infamous for their non-canonical status and poor quality. Her first playable appearance in an official Nintendo game was ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', and she would later become playable in a proper mainstream ''Zelda'' game, ''The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks.''
