Link's younger sister. Her Telescope is her most prized possession. Seagulls seem to be attracted to her presence.

Early in the game, the Helmaroc King kidnaps Aryll instead of Tetra.

Tetra

Zelda


The titular Princess, who Ganon is searching for. She makes an appearance when revealed later in the game.

Ganondorf


The Great King of Evil and bearer of the Triforce of Power makes his appearance quite early in the story. He sends his minions to capture any young girl who has long, pointy ears. This is supposably because Hylians have pointy, elf-like ears (and Zelda is indeed a Hylian).

King of Red Lions


This talking boat rescues Link from the ocean, and remains with him giving him the ability to sail The Great Sea. The King of Red Lions often aids Link on his journey across the Great Sea.
