Add more info in her Skyward Sword Section as well as Link's one in SS
I already bought the SS, however, I have to buy the wii motion plus in order to play it TT-TT So i'll have to wait a bit more. So, I've checked the info of both Zelda and Link, and I have to say that I think the information is a very few ....lol....I haven't played the game but I think that there is more information to add, do someone agree? Ps. Thanks for adding info. on the ZeLink SS shipping :D --Isamisa 09:44, 30 December 2011 (EST)
 * Yep, I agree! I'm actually gonna work on Zelda's and Link's SS sections today since I got the Hylia article done, which was my priority. ;] I'll get to these soon. Dany36 10:48, 30 December 2011 (EST)

Thank you very much :D You're a great person and thanks for the Hylia one :) It's very complete ;) --Isamisa 15:18, 30 December 2011 (EST)

Rename to "Zelda'
Since Zelda in Skyward Sword is not a princess, the page should be renamed simply "Zelda" I think. Itachou 10:25, 16 January 2012 (EST)
 * I agree with this, as every single Zelda will become a queen at some point in her life as well. Any Zelda being a princess is merely a status and title, not a name. Again, as I pointed out, every Zelda will become a queen someday. It just happens to be that we always seen an incarnation of Zelda at the time of her being a princess. As seen in Skyward Sword with its non-princess Zelda, that may change. For all we know, we may see a Queen Zelda in a future game, giving the title of this article more issues. So I agree it should just be named 'Zelda' because 'Princess' is a temporary title, not a first name.


 * The SS Zelda will become a princess at one point in her life, too, if we are looking at it in future terms. ;P And I don't know, I think it would be too weird to strip a main character off her title that has been in pretty much almost every Zelda game. But hey, if the majority decides to move it to just Zelda, I won't throw a fit. :P For now I say no though. --Dany36 23:59, 23 January 2012 (EST)
 * She carries the "Princess" moniker for the majority of her incarnations, at least during Link's first encounter with her, so I think it should stay as it is.  00:32, 24 January 2012 (EST)
 * Only in one game is Zelda not a princess. I do not think we should remove her title just for this reason. That would make as much sense as splitting her character in Skyward Sword from the rest of the article, and I say that as sarcastically as possible. Noble Wrot 00:37, 24 January 2012 (EST)
 * Dany and Pakkun sum up my opinion on this, so I say keep it the way it is. I believe she's explicitly referred to as Princess Zelda in every game aside from SS anyway? Eh, it doesn't seem like a big issue either way though. Ekim 01:25, 24 January 2012 (EST)

Should we move the family information to the Royal Family of Hyrule page?
I ask this because I noticed how long and messy the info box has gotten where the list of each Zelda's close relatives is listed. It seems like it would be much cleaner to move it to a new section in the Royal Family of Hyrule page, an article dealing with the family, with the info box linking to the part of the page detailing all known members of the family and their relations to each incarnation of Zelda.

OoT Zelda
I know that most Zeldas are portrayed as nigh perfect, but can we pleeeeeease make it clear that OoT Zelda manages to basically always make the worst decision? Her plot with Link allows Ganon to get the Triforce of Power, her revealing herself to Link gets her captured in a crystal, and her bit with the Ocarina at the end (1) splits the universe into separate timelines, only one of which has a "good" ending for Hyrule (2) shatters the Triforce of Courage and vanishes the hero in the Adult timeline, resulting in Hyrule eventually being destroyed, and (3) dooms Link to a regret-filled life so that he becomes a specter in the Child timeline.

Seriously she is the worst Zelda.KrytenKoro 12:32, 7 February 2012 (EST)


 * Haha! She definitely is the worst Zelda for creating three different timelines and ruining Link's life (and even killing him in one!). :P But seriously, her role in making the three timelines should probably be mentioned somewhere in there... --Dany36 14:46, 10 February 2012 (EST)

Oracle of Hope?
Where is she called like that? I looked at the Oracles' text dumps and didn't get any result. Zeldafan1982 19:52, 13 May 2012 (EDT)


 * I've also never heard that name. She is referred to as the "symbol of hope", but that doesn't make her the "Oracle of Hope". 07:27, 14 May 2012 (EDT)

Zelda hidden in Wind Waker Explanation
Hi there, Did we ever get an explanation as to why the King of Hyrule kept Zelda hidden down in Hyrule from Ganon? After he reveals her true identity to Tetra, he says to her “You must stay hidden here – Fortunately Ganon doesn’t know about this place.” Yet, about 5 minutes earlier, when Link confronts Ganon in Foresaken Fortress, Ganon clearly states “Boy, did you notice when you pulled that sword out of it’s pedestal how things started stirring again down there?”  Ganon clearly had a knowledge of the hidden basement under Hyrule. JUST WONDERING o_O


 * Maybe you should list it as a mistake in the listing that is Mistakes in The Legend of Zelda Series? 12:37, 26 September 2012 (EDT)

Fi's Comment
You can't use Fi on her - she gets kidnapped immediately after she awakens. (I've played the game) Is it unused? Technickal 20:45, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Is it possible to target her while he is performing his little ritual, perhaps? Or afterwards, before fighting Demise (don't think so, but...)? Either way, we sometimes include text like that, such as for the Blue Chuchu, which you cannot target normally due to appearing underwater. As long as it doesn't contradict something else, I see no reason not to include it. It appears to be in the text dump. 23:36, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Are Zelda from 'A Link to the Past is the same one from 'Oracle of Seasons/Ages?
Just wondering. Does Hyrule Historia says something about it? --Isamisa 01:04, 10 January 2013 (UTC)


 * I don't think so, but since ALTTP and OOX Link are the same, then that has to be true for Zelda as well... 01:10, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, given that the Link is the same and Zelda came from Hyrule to see Link, it has to be the same Zelda. 01:20, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks guys, I will consider it a 50% that yes (as it happened with ALttP/OoX/LA) and 50% that not since in Legend of Zelda and The Adventure of Link features the same Link, but they features different Zeldas. So, it's still unknown so far.. :/. We need to wait for a confirmation. --Isamisa 02:17, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
 * AoL was a special case though. At the time the Oracles occur, the sleeping Zelda from AoL was.. not sleeping yet** and there is no reason to assume (it would be pure fanfic) that a spell was cast on another Zelda. Since the Oracles take place shortly after ALttP, the princess has to be the same in both games.


 * ** The complete Triforce was only recently (at the end of ALttP) in the possession of the Royal Family, while the father of the sleeping Zelda ruled later, at the end of the Golden Era. Zeldafan1982 03:02, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Thank you, now I really would like to know how do you know that TLoZ and TAoL are different Zeldas (even though both games feautures the same Link)? I would really like to know! Is there any evidence? --Isamisa 21:36, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
