## Biography

### The Wind Waker

Orphaned at a young age, Tetra followed in her mother's footsteps, becoming a pirate and watching after her mother's gang of lovable swabbies.

Tetra and her crew are in search of a legendary treasure hidden beneath the waves of the Great Sea.

When Link first meets Tetra, she is being kidnapped by the Helmaroc King. The monster bird is distracted by Tetra's crew, and she is dropped into the Fairy Woods. Link comes to her rescue, but because of this distraction, his sister Aryll, mistaken for Tetra, is kidnapped instead. Link tries to save her, only to fall. Tetra catches him just in time. After much persuasion, Tetra allows Link to accompany her and her crew in their ship in a bid to save his sister from the Forsaken Fortress. At first, Tetra does not take a liking to Link, mocking him and showing distrust towards him due to his tendency to act without thinking things through. After finally reaching the Forsaken Fortress, Tetra and her pirates launch Link into the fortress by catapulting him in a barrel. Before she launches him off, however, she slips in the Pirate's Charm in his pocket, which Tetra uses to communicate with the young hero and drop hints occasionally. Link, however, ultimately fails to rescue his sister and Tetra and he go their separate ways.

The pirate leader and the young hero meet again briefly in Windfall Island when they are both trying to reach Jabun's hidden cave behind Outset Island. When Gonzo suggests that they stay at Windfall for the night, Tetra quickly dismisses that option, saying that they have to set sail to Outset immediately since it could meet the same fate as Greatfish Isle. Mako points out Tetra's caring personality as he mentions that it sounds like she is more worried about the island than the treasure, to which Tetra calls ridiculous and reaffirms her desire for the treasure. However, Tetra soon after catches Link spying on the pirates in the Bomb Shop and decides to give Link a head start to reach Jabun.

Tetra catches up with Link in the Forsaken Fortress again as he tries to save his sister. The young pirate, upon meeting with Link, claims that Link never thinks before he acts since her crew had to distract the Helmaroc King for him before the bird would capture him again. She is shocked to see that he has the Master Sword in his possession, and even thinks that Link might be the Hero of Time or a descendant of him; however, she quickly shrugs off the thought seeing that it would be impossible. She promises Link that she will take Aryll and take her back to Outset safely, mentioning that she usually expects a reward for something like that, but offers to do it for free.

Later on, after defeating the Helmaroc King, when Link is nearing defeat at the hand of Ganondorf, Tetra runs into the room to distract him. However, she is easily defeated as well. While in Ganondorf's grasp, his Triforce of Power resonates, leading him to believe that he has finally found Princess Zelda. Tetra denies this, claiming that she does not know anyone named Zelda. After another distraction by the Rito and the Great Valoo, Link and the unconscious Tetra get away safely from Ganondorf and head to the sunken Hyrule Castle, where they meet Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule.

The king asks that Tetra approach him, where he takes her necklace. The necklace, which was given by her mother and instructed Tetra to guard it with her life, is actually a piece of the Triforce of Wisdom. The King of Hyrule uses the other piece of the Triforce of Wisdom to reveal Tetra's true identity: Princess Zelda. Tetra is in shock and apologizes to Link for everything that has happened to him and his sister. The King then tells the Princess that she would be safer hiding in the castle basement from Ganondorf's grasp while he and Link return to the surface to search for the Triforce of Courage.

When Link returns to Hyrule Castle with the Triforce of Courage in his possession, he sees that Zelda was captured by Ganondorf and taken to Ganon's Tower, and the young hero quickly seeks to save her. Once Link defeats Puppet Ganon and climbs up to where Ganondorf and Princess Zelda are located, he finds Zelda knocked unconscious, and although the young hero tries to best Ganondorf, he swiftly takes Link and Zelda's Triforce pieces.

After King Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule wishes for Hyrule to be flooded once more, Zelda wakes up and apologizes to Link for having overslept, where she urges Link to defeat Ganondorf once and for all and return to their ocean from the world above. During Link's battle with Ganondorf, Zelda wields the young hero's Bow and Light Arrows to cover Link and allow him to attack as best as he can. During the battle, however, Ganondorf hovers over to Zelda and knocks her unconscious again, but after a while, she wakes up again. She aims a Light Arrow at the young hero's Mirror Shield, which bounces off to Ganondorf and allows Link to deal the final blow.

Princess Zelda suggests to King Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule to join Link and her in their search for the new land that will be the next Hyrule. After Link and Zelda resurface to the Great Sea, Tetra appears again in her pirate clothes, having lost her royal persona as her pirate crew greets the two of them aboard their ship. Tetra is last seen during the ending credits where she, her pirate crew, and Link set sail from Outset Island in search of new lands.

### Phantom Hourglass

In Phantom Hourglass, Tetra does not regain her royal persona as Princess Zelda, although quite often when she appears, "Zelda's Lullaby" plays in the background. She is also called Zelda by some of the pirates during the game's introduction, much to Tetra's chagrin. During the beginning of the game, she and Link happen upon a Ghost Ship, which they investigate. Tetra is separated from the others and is kidnapped, forcing Link to try and rescue her.

Once Link defeats the Cubus Sisters on the Ghost Ship, Link finds Tetra turned to stone. Once Link defeats Bellum's first stage, Tetra turns back to normal. After Link defeats Bellum, he and Tetra awaken on the Ghost Ship, only ten minutes after the prologue according to the pirates. Tetra's crew tries to convince her that it was just a dream, but Link finds the Phantom Hourglass in his pocket, and the SS Linebeck is seen sailing in the distance.

### Spirit Tracks

Princess Zelda, descendant of Tetra, plays a much larger role in Spirit Tracks than in previous installments, as she also aids Link (who is portrayed as a conductor) in the salvation of Hyrule. Afterward, Link, Zelda and Alfonzo attempt to escape via train, but the train crashes due to the disappearing tracks. Chancellor Cole then appears in his true form and attacks (and technically kills) Zelda, taking her body in process in an attempt to revive the Demon King Malladus; Zelda's spirit fortunately escapes and returns to Hyrule Castle. There, she meets with Link, who seems to be the only one that can see her (as she is now a ghost).

Link and Zelda travel to the Tower of Spirits, where they attempt to restore the Spirit Tracks.

Eventually, Zelda's body has been possessed by Malladus, Link frees her body by firing a Light Arrow using the Bow of Light. Zelda is initially unable to reenter her body, which allows Malladus to attempt to possess it again. This is countered, however, when Byrne uses his power to repel the Demon King, giving Zelda the strength to pray to Tetra to reclaim her body. Zelda, now back in her body, assists Link in the final against the Demon King, and together they bring an end to him for good. They are then seen holding hands as they witness the departure of the Lokomos.

After the ending credits, Princess Zelda can be seen at her office signing papers and, depending on whether Link chose to be an engineer or a warrior, she will go look out the window and wave at Link upon hearing either a train whistle or swords clanking or simply remember her adventure with Link.
