Talk:Princess Zelda

Name
Zelda's name is Princess Zelda (or possibly more formally Princess Zelda Hyrule). Not Zelda Harkinian (after King Harkinian), in the same way that it is not Zelda Daltus (after King Daltus, or Zelda Daphnes Nohansen (after Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule)!! --Adamcox82 13:48, 8 August 2007 (PDT)

Age
Someone changed her age from about 17 to about 20; is there an official source for this? Or if we are just guessing, would it not be better to suggest her age as "late teens"? Adamcox82

17 - 19

That's what Link is in tp? so zelda's almost certainly the same age!


 * OK, if we're saying 17-19, isn't that the same thing as "late teens" as I said above? Adamcox82 12:54, 24 April 2007 (PDT)


 * Yeah, true. Sorry. :)

im pretty sure somewhere in a nitnedo magazine i read 17 - 19 so lates teens is correct.

"Princess Zelda is about 20 years old, and is the Queen-in-waiting of Hyrule." <--- this statment comes from the official players guide to Twilight Princess.


 * Do you mean this one?

No, this one This is where I found the info on Zelda. She's on the right side, third person down. I found the page at The Hylia. In their toolbar, there is word "Media" with an Ocarina. -->


 * Thank you very much, I've now cited this as a source in the article. --Adamcox82 13:09, 21 June 2007 (PDT)

You're Welcome.


 * Is a strategy guide really a good source for information like this? Strategy guides have been known to screw things up, Prima included (you can't get the Honey & Darling heart piece in Majora's Mask before Woodfall, Prima). Ando 21:24, 19 January 2008 (EST)
 * Addendum: After re-going through the game, I've deemed it IS possible to do that, so, uh... They still made some mistakes in the Majora's Mask guide, though. D:< --Ando 23:04, 1 February 2008 (EST)
 * Since you apparently agree that strategy guides can get it wrong, isn't it wiser to generalize and say "late teens", so nothing is explicitly wrong? Saibh 16:14, 21 March 2008 (EDT)

Don't understand
although she does not become a spirit like her people under the influence of the Twilight King's magic. The reason may be from Zelda's Triforce of Wisdom. What does this line mean?


 * I thought the same first time I read that sentence. I've rewritten it; does that make more sense? --Adam 17:56, 23 September 2007 (EDT)

This is a good article, but i am disappointed that it became the featured article. I'm not sure why, but I have a deep down hatred for Zelda (link does all the work and she reaps all the rewards?) Anyway, I guess this means i shouldn't be here.--Claire 20:46, 31 January 2008 (EST)


 * Wait, she reaps all the rewards? What? She gets just as much as Link. :/ --Ando 14:11, 1 February 2008 (EST)

I put it in the parentheses because i didn't mean it literally, possibly a reason somebody else would understand. I hate Zelda; but at the same time I feel bad for her, because i hate her. Whats the word?...--Claire 20:53, 1 February 2008 (EST)

The word is. . . uh. . .oh. . .nevermind. --Claire 19:19, 17 February 2008 (EST)

Just a thought
"Link transformed into a wolf by the Twilight's power." <--found in the explanation of Zelda's role in TP.

I thought Link was transformed because he was also protected from the twilight (because he holds the triforce of courage), like Zelda, (holds the triforce of wisdom).

When he enterted twilight, the triforce started to glow on his hand, and transformed/protected him. Isn't that something of what one light spirit said?


 * Correct. The quote form Faron is:

"In the land covered in twilight, where people roam as spirits, you were transformed into a blue-eyed beast... That was a sign... It was a sign that the powers of the chosen one rest within you...and that they are awakening."

- Faron upon the return of light to Faron province


 * And the triforce emblem is shown on Link's hand as he transforms into a wolf. The implication of this is that the power of the triforce offers partial protection from the effect of twilight, by enabling Link to maintain a corporeal (if altered) form. --Adam 02:54, 28 September 2007 (EDT)

Zelda is kinda creepy as a kid in oot.
