'''Sleeping Zelda''' is a term used to describe the [[Princess Zelda]] that appears in {{TAoL}}.{{Fact|TAoL}} | |||
To break the curse a hero must possess the complete Triforce,<ref>{{Cite manual|quote=The magic spell cast upon Princess Zelda will sure to be broken [sic] if the Triforce is used.|game= | ==Biography== | ||
According to a legend passed down within [[Impa]]'s bloodline,{{Fact|TAoL}} well before the events of {{TLoZ}}, [[Hyrule]] was a prosperous land ruled by a king who had a daughter, [[Princess Zelda]], and an elder son, the prince.<ref>{{Cite manual|quote= It is said that a long ago, [sic] when Hyrule was one country, a great ruler maintained the peace in Hyrule using the Triforce.|game= TAoL|page =6}}</ref> After the king passed away, the prince sought the pieces of [[Triforce]] that he did not inherit, but was unable to find them.<ref>{{Cite manual|quote= The Prince searched everywhere for the missing parts, but could not find them.|game= TAoL|page= 6}}</ref> A magician close to the king informed the prince that the king had told his sister something about the Triforce.<ref>{{Cite manual|quote= Then, a magician close to the king brought some unexpected news. Before he died, the king had said something about the Triforce to only the younger sister of the prince, Princess Zelda.|game= TAoL|page= 6-7}}</ref> The prince questioned her, but she did not say anything, even after being threatened by an eternal sleep by the magician.<ref>{{Cite manual|quote= After the prince, the magician threatened to put the princess into an eternal sleep if she did not talk, but even still, she said nothing.|game= TAoL|page= 7}}</ref> In his anger, the magician used a spell to put the princess into an eternal sleep, and died when the spell was completed.<ref>{{Cite manual|quote= In his anger, the magician tried to cast a magic spell on the princess. [...] Then, when the spell was finally cast, Princess Zelda [...] entered a sleep from which she might never awake. At the same time, the magician also fell down and breathed his last.|game= TAoL|page= 7-8}}</ref> | |||
Overcome with grief, the prince sealed his sleeping sister in the [[North Castle]] and ordered that all female descendants of the [[Hylian]] monarchy are to be named Zelda.<ref>{{Cite manual|quote= So that this tragedy would never be forgotten, he ordered that every female child born into the royal household shall be given the name Zelda.|game= TAoL|page= 8}}</ref> While the princesses before this incident were named Zelda in honor of the original Zelda from {{SS}},<ref>{{Cite book|quote= Many members of the royal family were born with special powers because of the lineage that connected them to the goddess. Princesses were repeatedly given the name Zelda, a name that came from the historical legends.|book= Hyrule Historia|page= 77|publisher= Dark Horse Books}}</ref> this marked the beginning of Zelda being named so by law, rather than tradition. | |||
To break the curse a hero must possess the complete Triforce,<ref>{{Cite manual|quote= The magic spell cast upon Princess Zelda will sure to be broken [sic] if the Triforce is used.|game= TAoL|page= 12}}</ref> but obtaining the [[Triforce#Triforce of Courage|Triforce of Courage]] would prove difficult as the king of ages ago had hidden it within the [[Great Palace]]. Only one who proved themselves worthy would obtain it. In the end, Link obtained the Triforce of Courage and awoke the sleeping princess from her slumber. | |||
