Tetra



The pirate who was kidnapped by the Helmaroc King early in the Wind Waker. When the bird is shot, she falls into the forest, and the Helmaroc King takes Aryll, mistaking her for the pirate.

In her room in the pirate ship, there is a picture of the Royal Family including Princess Zelda and a band of people that look closely related to the pirates on board. This picture and others also hang from the walls in Hyrule Castle which Link visits during Wind Waker. It is later revealed that Tetra is in fact a descendent of the Zelda bloodline, making her Princess of Hyrule which in her time, is still flooded deep under the Great Sea.


 * Tetra's name could be derived from the Latin meaning for 'four', similar to Tetris, this could hint at her being the fourth Zelda descendent in the timeline.
 * Tetra could also allude to tetrahedron, the physical shape of the Triforce.
 * A Tetra is also a type of South American freshwater fish, adding to the sea-faring theme of the game.
 * Tetra was introduced in the The Wind Waker and appears again in the Phantom Hourglass.
 * It is a common misconseption that Tetra "is" Princess Zelda. This of course is false. The game clearly states that Tetra is a "decendent" of Zelda, and therefore has Royal Hylian blood, making her the "heir" to the throne.
