Zelda (Studio Ghibli Film)

Zelda is one of the main characters of Studio Ghibli's The Legend of Zelda movie.
== Background ==
=== Personality ===
Zelda is portrayed as brave, quirky and optimistic, as she has a fighting spirit of a tomboy. Despite her naturally strong-willed personality, she is highly intelligent, which is a match to the most intelligent member of the Champions of Hyrule.
=== Physical Appearance ===
Princess Zelda is a teenage girl with a delicate figure, fair skin, pink lips, blue eyes, and long, flowing blonde hair that goes past her hips (most of which she cut off to make it go all the way to her chin as part of her escape from Hyrule) with a silver tiara that has a sapphire on it.
Throughout the movie, she wears a variety of clothes. Her first outfit, as part of Ganondorf's harem of slaves, consists of a magenta and gold brassiere with hipster bikini bottoms covered with a jeweled, beaded belt with a see-through high slit chiffon skirt along with a decorated choker, headdress, armbands and anklets. Her second outfit consists of a purple bikini gifted by the people of Castaway Cove. Her third outfit (i.e., regular outfit) consists of a blue bikini, pink gloves and boots, and a violet cape that goes down to her waist. Her fourth and final outfit consists of a pink royal gown with pink pumps and white opera gloves.
=== Abilities ===
==== The Wand of Gamelon ====
The Wand of Gamelon is a relic that is kept inside of the Shrine of Gamelon. It is the most powerful weapon in Hyrule, making it the largest of all magic wands and resulting in the Master Sword second despite being the only thing that could destroy Demise and Ganondorf with. It is highly coveted by many enemies. The main ability of the Wand of Gamelon is to create magic spells based on the elements of nature, such as fire, lightning and ice. It can also double as a mode of transportation similar to that of a skateboard or a surfboard.
==== Intelligence & Knowledge ====
Zeda is an expert in "light magic". She has a great deal of knowledge of spells and knows almost all of them (by name of course). She is also endowed with great intelligence and is very strategic. She also seems to have an excellent analytical ability, gauging and analyzing her opponent very quickly.
== History ==
Zelda is born to her parents, Queen Zelda Hyrule XVI and King Rhoam Bosphoramus Hyrule, in the kingdom of Hyrule as heir to the Hylian throne under the title of "Princess Zelda Hyrule XVII". Though Rhoam says that Zelda would grow up to be a beautiful queen like her mother, the Queen also wishes that she would find happiness in her life. 
As Zelda grows into a little girl, her parents enroll her to the Hyrule Select Academy for Young Ladies, where she performs a raunchy dance called the "Dance of the Gerudo Slave Girl", much to her parents' enjoyment. Princess Zelda has a warm and loving relationship with the Queen of Hyrule when one night, Ganondorf invades Castle Hyrule. The Queen struggles to protect the kingdom but ultimately fails to defend herself and Zelda from Ganondorf and is killed on the spot.
After learning about his wife's death, Rhoam does everything he can to protect Zelda and his kingdom, even if it means building a wall around his kingdom to keep evil out, while unaware Ganondorf disguised himself as a chancellor to get rid of Zelda as well at any time. As Zelda grows older, Rhoam becomes overprotective and does not even care for his daughter at all, leaving her under the care of her Sheikah tutor, Impa, as her only friend in life. However, that does not stop her from going on dangerous adventures.
One day, Zelda ventures to an island of Gamelon to retrieve the Wand of Gamelon, which she will present to the Hyrule History Museum. However, her plot is almost foiled by Rhoam who grounds her for venturing outside the kingdom. After Zelda verbally protests, Rhoam orders for his daughter to be thrown into the dungeon for a few hours of quiet time, only for Zelda to accidentally reveal her light magic powers in public, earning her father's outrage. It becomes clear that, according to Rhoam, whoever possesses the Wand of Gamelon shall not only be granted the power of light magic but to become the most intelligent of all Hyrule for a lifetime much to Zelda's horror.
As a result to Zelda's adventures in Gamelon, Rhoam sends her to Magic School to control her light magic powers, only at the cost of his kingdom's protection. Although Zelda manages to control her light magic powers throughout her school year, she graduates from Magic School just in time to return to the kingdom where it becomes under attack by Ganondorf's forces; she manages to make it back to the castle to warn her father, only to be beaten and bruised in battle along the way. Angered that his own daughter sold him out due to the point of sending her to Magic School as a means of getting rid of her for good, Rhoam tries to commit filicide on Zelda with his sword, only for Ganondorf to get the drop on him. With a change of heart, Rhoam orders Zelda to leave Hyrule and never return, but when his daughter questions him, he reveals that he is making the ultimate sacrifice so that his daughter can escape. With that said, Ganondorf uses his dark magic to hoist Rhoam into the air and blow him to smithereens. After watching her father die peacefully at the hands of Ganondorf in pure horror, Zelda falls to her knees and suffers a complete mental breakdown.
Eventually, Impa happens by with her squad of Sheikahs to evacuate the incapacitated Zelda from Ganondorf, but they get confronted and overpowered by his minions along the way. As soon as Zelda awakens from her catatonic state a week later, she finds herself as part of Ganondorf's harem full of Gerudo slave girls. After learning from one of the slave girls about her father's death, Zelda realizes from her nightmare that was true and starts to finally cry and mourn over the loss of her father. 
During her time as Ganondorf's slave, Zelda remembers the Dance of the Gerudo Slave Girl back at the Hyrule Select Academy for Young Ladies during her childhood, and as a token of gratitude for reminding her of her old school days before her mother's death, she puts on an extravagant dance performance for Ganondorf and his minions. Throughout a month under Ganondorf's custody, Zelda begins to have a same nightmare about her father's death every night which causes her to suffer a severe case of complicated grief. Until then, she is visited by the ghost of her late mother who encourages her to escape. Later that night, Zelda sneaks out of the harem and back into her chamber to reclaim her tiara and the Wand of Gamelon upon packing her belongings for her great escape; she then ventures through a tunnel under Hyrule to try and find the way out of this corrupted kingdom.
Along the way, Zelda rescues a Hylian cadet from Calatia named Link, a Zora Princess named Mipha, and a Rito lone wolf named Revali, and leads them to Faron Woods where all four of them are safe. There, later that night, she is almost eaten by a Maw-Ray until Link saves her and suggests she takes a vacation with him, Mipha, and Revali. Ultimately, Zelda and her newfound friends take a vacation in Castaway Cove, where they train for a week in preparations for their return to Hyrule, adding a Goron named Daruk in their team in the process.
One week later, Zelda and her four friends, now banded together as the "Champions of Hyrule", return to Hyrule, only to be captured by Ganondorf, who then uses the Triforces of Wisdom, Power, and Courage to turn into Ganon. That's when Urbosa, Ganondorf's daughter, arrives to free Hyrule and give them a chance to launch a full counterstrike against Ganondorf's forces while Link faces off with Ganon with the Master Sword which he took from the underground catacombs of Hyrule. After the final battle, Zelda, at first, mourns the loss of Link, but he regains consciousness and earns her romantic relationship with him.
Once Hyrule is rebuilt, Zelda seals the combined Triforce inside a protective dome above her throne while she awards the Champions for their heroisms for restoring Hyrule to its former splendor, carrying on her family's royal legacy in the process.
