## Biography

### Childhood

As a child Princess Zelda grew up in the Royal Family at Hyrule Castle, and at a young age was exposed to many stories of her parents’ heroism. She met many important figures of Hyrule in her childhood, including the four remaining Sages, Impa, her parents, and rulers of great importance, all of which inspired her and drove her to help restore Hyrule to its full glory. Before she could start restoring, tragedy struck. On the day before her and her brothers 13th birthday, Demise awoke under the Forgotten Temple, and sent Flaming Rage towards his castle. Princess Zelda and her brother fled to the balcony where Queen Zelda summoned the Light Dragon. The dragon took the Princess and Prince to Skyrule.

### Skyrule

When the Light Dragon took the royal twins to Skyrule, Prince Zelda was amazed that there was a huge civilization up in the sky. They then collapsed, and were found by the priest of Hylia, Chance. Princess Zelda is given the Skyrulian Garments. She then meets the King of Skyrule, King Groose. King Groose and Priest Chance explain the history of Skyrule. From its origins as Skyloft, to when monarchy was established, to the Royal Split into Skyrulians and Gerudo, to the creation of Triforce Energy, and the element Triforce, to finally the present day. Zelda then meets Queen Livé of Skyrule. She tells her to try a few lessons at the Academy for Skyrulian Knights. Zelda then proceeds to finish all three classes, Fighting, History, and Flying. After this Link and Zelda, are called to the Temple by Chance. Chance shows them the Prophecy of the Legacy, which says that the Hero and Princess must find the four sages, and awaken four more, before going to the Sage’s Sanctum to retrieve the “temporal instrument.” They then will go back in time to recruit the hero’s and princesses of time long past. Princess Zelda is then given the Dress of Legacy, a bow and arrow, a Triforce Tablet, a paraglider, and a blue Loftwing, who is said to be the ancestor of the Princesses’ Loftwing from long ago. She is named the Princess of Legacy, and then sent off to the surface world on her Loftwing.

## Abilities

Princess Zelda, along with her fellow princesses, are depicted throughout the series as a powerful magic wielder. Zelda is able to use bows with impressive skill. When she was in her childhood, she was already a decent archer, but not as good as her mother by any means. When trouble arises, however, Zelda demonstrates a natural aptitude for the ways of the bow and is able to best her enemies easily, but going to the Academy for Skyrulian Knights probably helped a little bit. As the game progresses, Zelda becomes known for her archery as well as his ability to quickly adapt to a wide variety of items and skillfully wield them, such as swords, Triforce Tablet Abilities, and shields, among others.

In the game, Zelda can use her inherited goddess powers from her mother, and her fathers Light Ability, to use a Light Blast. She is also able to learn complex techniques from the Princess of Shade.

Additionally, Zelda is portrayed as having an excellent physical condition, performing backflips easily. She is able to climb, swim, glide, and run at very fast speeds. However, despite this, Zelda has little proficiency in hand-to-hand combat, and is usually defenseless without a bow or an item. Zelda is easily able to pick up large stones or push blocks many times her size,

Zelda has many powerful abilities, items, and powers that he was given by the old princesses. A few examples are being able to turn into a Twilight Horse, able to transform with masks, and being able to use the Light Burst Power. She is also shown to use the power of the Triforce of Wisdom.

Zelda is also shown to be proficient with technology like the Triforce Tablet, and is very good at flying on a Loftwing, learning how to much faster then trained knights twice her age.
