Zelda 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]]''. | Zelda 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.

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 by the fact that there are 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'' notably featured Zelda being portrayed as both a child and an adult in the same game. | 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.

It is implied that most Zeldas are related by the fact they are a part of the Hylian royal family, and some Zeldas have been confirmed to be related by blood, such as the the Zelda from ''Spirit Tracks'' being a descendant of {{s|zeldawiki|Tetra}}. They are also all related in the fact that they possess the blood of the goddess and must defeat the reincarnation of {{s|zeldawiki|Demise}} alongside the spirit of the hero. | ||
Similarly, Zelda's design often varies between games, but she is most consistently depicted as a classically beautiful princess with long, blonde hair and pointed ears, the latter of which is typical of Hylians. Even these traits are not universal, however, as she sometimes appears as a brunette, or with a shorter hairstyle. She most often wears a floor length royal dress with an elaborate design, which is predominantly colored pink or purple, alongside white and occasionally gold. | Similarly, Zelda's design often varies between games, but she is most consistently depicted as a classically beautiful princess with long, blonde hair and pointed ears, the latter of which is typical of Hylians.
