==Biography==
==={{SS|-}}===
The goddess [[Hylia]] created the Goddess Sword and Fi, an intelligent humanoid spirit who resides in the Sword, and gave her the purpose of assisting Hylia's Chosen Hero in fulfilling his destiny of defeating [[Demise]].<ref>{{Cite|Link, the goddess created Fi and the great blade she's a part of for very specific reasons.|Zelda|SS}}</ref><ref name="Created"/> She then enshrined the Sword inside the [[Statue of the Goddess]] before raising it into [[The Sky]] as part of [[Skyloft]]. Preceding the [[Wing Ceremony]], Fi appears to [[Link]] in his dreams, foretelling his destiny.<ref>{{Cite|Rise, {{Color|SS Blue|Link}}... The time has come for you to awaken... You are fated to have a hand in a great destiny, and it will soon find you... The time has come for you to awaken... Link...|Fi|SS}}</ref> After Link and [[Princess Zelda#Skyward Sword|Zelda]] are attacked by a black tornado, Link wakes up in his room, where he hears Fi speaking to him. Fi guides him to the Statue of the Goddess, further explaining his fate as the chosen hero and encouraging him to draw the Goddess Sword from its pedestal so that Fi can formally acknowledge him as her Master.<ref>{{Cite|Come, Link.

You can use it to travel through the clouds to the realm below.|Fi|SS}}</ref>
Once Link seals away Demise within the [[Master Sword]], Fi requests that Link end their relationship by returning the Master Sword, as her purpose in aiding the chosen hero in his mission is complete.<ref>{{Cite|Master Link, you have successfully protected the goddess reborn and defeated Demise, fulfilling your role as the {{Color|SS Red|hero}} of legend. My purpose here is complete. My purpose here is complete. Therefore, I ask you to dissolve our arrangement as master and servant. Drive the sword into the pedestal before you, and I will return to the sword to enter a sleep without end. Master, you have achieved the purpose you were chosen to fulfill. Please, set the sword in the pedestal and bring the goddess's mission to an end. Now, Master. It is time to conclude our necessary companionship.|Fi|SS}}</ref> Link thrusts the Sword into its pedestal in the [[Temple of Hylia]], but Fi calls him back to give a true goodbye, showing emotions for the first time and claiming that their time together was the most precious, for she had experienced happiness before falling into an endless sleep.<ref name="Happiness">{{Cite|Link, hear me. My purpose was to obey the command of the goddess and lead you, the chosen hero of this land, on your quest. When I first awoke and began this task, I perceived it as merely serving my function as a servant to Her Grace. However, I have come to consider the information corresponding to our time together among the most precious data I have on record. I do not have the capability to fully understand the human spirit, Link... But now, at the end of my journey with you, as I prepare to sleep within the Master Sword forever, I experience a feeling I am unable to identify. I lack sufficient data to be sure of my conclusion, but I believe this feeling correlates closest to what your people call...happiness.|Fi|SS}}</ref> She then thanks Link and hopes that they may meet again in another life as her consciousness fades away into the Master Sword.<ref name="Thank">{{Cite|Our partnership is at an end, and even as we speak, I feel my consciousness fading away.

==={{BotW|-}}===
Although Fi does not appear in person in {{BotW}}, she is referred to several times and speaks to Zelda on one occasion.
When Zelda questions Link's skill with the Master Sword, she refers to Fi indirectly, saying that legends tell of a voice within the sword and asking if Link can hear it.<ref>{{Cite|Tell me the truth... How proficient are you right now wielding that sword on your back? Legend says that an ancient voice resonates inside it. Can you hear it yet...hero?|Zelda|BotW}}</ref> After Link is nearly killed fighting off the [[Guardian]]s controlled by [[Calamity Ganon]], Fi speaks from within the Master Sword - signaled by the Master Sword glowing and their sound effect playing - and tells Zelda to take Link to the [[Shrine of Resurrection]].<ref>{{Cite|The sword...? So he can... He can still be saved?|Zelda|BotW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Take Link to the Shrine of Resurrection. If you don't get him there immediately, we are going to lose him forever!|Zelda|BotW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|The Master Sword... I heard it speak to me.|Zelda|BotW}}</ref>
After defeating Calamity Ganon, Zelda mentions that she can no longer hear the voice inside the Master Sword, assuming it is because her own power has dwindled over the past 100 years, yet she accepts that.<ref>{{Cite|I can no longer hear the voice inside the sword. I suppose it would make sense if my power had dwindled over the past 100 years... I'm surprised to admit it... But I can accept that.|Zelda|BotW}}</ref>
After completing the [[Trial of the Sword]], while Link is observing the new power unlocked within the Master Sword, Fi's sound effect plays and the Sword glows once more.


'''Fi''' (Pronounced {{IPA|faɪ}}, {{Respell|fy}}) is a character featured in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]'' who is the humanoid representation of the [[Goddess Sword]]. Fi is the spirit within the sword who guides Link during his adventure, serving as the young hero's companion in the game.<ref name=fi>{{cite|I should provide you with my personal designation. Fi is the name I was given. I was created for a single purpose, long before the recorded memory of  your people. I must aid you in fulfilling the great destiny that is your burden to carry.|Fi|SS}}</ref>
==={{TotK|-}}===
When Link finds a strange light at the {{Term|TotK|Temple of Time|link}}, the Master Sword glows and Fi's sound effect plays, instructing him to place it in the light. After Link does so, the sword time travels thousands of years into the past where Princess Zelda is waiting for it. Once in the past Fi informs Zelda that Link is safe, having survived {{Term|TotK|Ganondorf|link}}'s attack, and that she has traveled back in time to find Zelda and so the Master Sword can regain its strength.<ref>{{Cite|You're telling me... that Link is safe? You traveled through time to find me and recover your strength.|Princess Zelda|TotK}}</ref>


==History and Abilities==
When Link later retrieves the Master Sword from the {{Term|TotK|Light Dragon|link}} where it has been recovering its power for thousands of years, Zelda refers to Fi by calling the sword "she" instead of "it".<ref>{{Cite|The Master Sword... Your sword... She is the key to destroying the Demon King.|Princess Zelda|TotK}}</ref>
The goddess Hylia created the Goddess Sword and Fi, an intelligent humanoid spirit who resides in the sword, and gave it the purpose of assisting Hylia's chosen hero in fulfilling his destiny.<ref>{{cite|[Link], the goddess created Fi and the great blade she's a part of for very specific reasons.|Zelda|SS}}</ref><ref>{{cite|First, she created Fi. She made the spirit that resides in your sword to serve a single purpose: to assist her chosen hero on his mission.|Zelda|SS}}</ref> She then enshrined the sword [[Inside the Statue of the Goddess]] before raising it into [[The Sky]] as part of [[Skyloft]]. Preceding the [[Wing Ceremony]], Fi appears to [[Link]] in his dreams, foretelling him of his destiny. After Link and [[Princess Zelda#Skyward Sword|Zelda]]  are attacked by a black tornado, Link wakes up in his room, where he hears Fi speaking to him. Fi guides him to the Statue of the Goddess, further explaining his fate as the chosen hero and encouraging him to draw the Goddess Sword from its pedestal so that Fi can formally acknowledge him as her Master.<ref>{{cite|Come, [Link]. You must take up this sword. As the one chosen by my creator, it is your destiny.|Fi|SS}}</ref><ref>{{cite|The youth who draws forth the guiding sword shall be known as the goddess's chosen hero, and it is he who possesses an unbreakable spirit.

Throughout Link's journey, Fi aids the young hero by providing him with information about the area he is in, the enemies he is facing, and even messages directly from Hylia to Link.<ref>needs ref here</ref> Link can talk to Fi when he is traveling on foot by pressing down on the D-Pad of the Wii Remote.<ref>{{cite|I reside within your sword and will accompany you in your travels. Press  to summon me whenever you require my assistance.|Fi|SS}}</ref> When done so, Fi will give Link various options to choose from, providing the play time of the current session, the current objective, and advice as to what he should do next, which include a summary of the past few events as well as hints and rumors. In addition, Fi will give Link a basic description of a targeted enemy and its weaknesses. Fi will also tell the hero how many times he has defeated this type of enemy and gives an indication of Link's proficiency in fighting this specific type of enemy. When this is used on [[Boss]]es, Fi will usually give a limited supply of information about the enemies weaknesses to Link. If the battle goes on for a while and Fi is once again asked to give advice, more information will be available. Other than enemies and bosses, Fi can also scan people and locations.<ref>[http://ghirahim.webs.com/dump.html#75-45]</ref> Fi can telepathically talk to people and robots and sense people's auras.<ref>{{cite|Master [Link], I have detected Zelda's aura emanating from within this structure.|Fi|SS}}</ref><ref>{{cite|Yes, Master. I will signal the robot with a telepathic transmission.|Fi|SS}}</ref>
After Link defeats {{Term|TotK|Ganondorf|link}} and saves Zelda, Fi greets the princess once more from within the Master Sword and Zelda realizes her plan worked.


Fi also has a "treasure-seeking ability" called [[Dowsing]]. It can sense important people and items and help Link to locate them, acting as a sort of compass.<ref>{{cite|Taking  this into account, I calculate an 85% probability that your quest will be aided if you find the lost Kikwis for the elder. To expedite your  search for these forest-dwelling creatures, I have added Kikwis as a dowsing option.|Fi|SS}}</ref> When Link needs to locate a certain person or item, Fi will add a Dowsing option accordingly. The young hero can then choose in the Dowsing menu which specific object or person he wishes to track down. In Dowsing mode, pointing the sword in the general of the target will cause it to beep, which becomes faster as Link approaches the target.
==Abilities==
Like her fellow [[Sword Spirit]], [[Ghirahim]], Fi possesses psychic abilities, specifically {{wp|telepathy}}. Throughout Link's journey, she aids the hero by providing him with information about the area he is in, the enemies he is facing, and even messages directly from Hylia to Link.<ref name= "Hylia">{{Cite|When you struck the crest with a Skyward Strike from your sword, a message from the {{Color|SS Blue|goddess}} awakened deep within my memory. The goddess intended this message for you, Master. These are her words.|Fi|SS}}</ref> Fi can be talked to when Link is traveling on foot by pressing down on the D-Pad of the Wii Remote.<ref>{{Cite|I reside within your sword and will accompany you in your travels. {{Color|SS Green|Press}} {{Icon|SS D-Pad Down}} to summon me whenever you require my assistance.|Fi|SS}}</ref> When this is done, Fi will give Link various options to choose from, providing the play time of the current session, the current objective, and advice as to what he should do next, which include a summary of the past few events as well as hints and rumors.<ref>{{Cite|Once I'm summoned, select {{Color|SS Red|Advice}} or {{Color|SS Red|Hints}} and I will promptly offer you information pertinent to your current circumstance.|Fi|SS}}</ref> In addition, Fi will give Link a basic description of a targeted enemy and its weaknesses. Fi will also tell the hero how many times he has defeated any type of enemy and gives an indication of Link's proficiency in fighting a specific type of enemy.<ref>{{Cite|While {{Color|SS Green|targeting}} an enemy with {{Icon|SS Z}}, press {{Icon|SS D-Pad Down}} to summon me. I will provide information on your enemy as well as your battle-performance rating.|Fi|SS}}</ref> When this is used on [[Boss]]es, Fi will usually give a limited supply of information about the enemy's weaknesses. If Link is defeated in the battle, and Fi is once again asked to give advice, more information will be available. Other than enemies and bosses, Fi can also scan people, [[Bug]]s and locations. Fi can telepathically talk to people and robots and sense people's auras.<ref>{{Cite|Master Link, I have detected {{Color|SS Blue|Zelda}}'s aura emanating from within this structure.|Fi|SS}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Yes, Master. I will signal the robot with a telepathic transmission.|Fi|SS}}</ref>


Lastly, Fi also informs Link when his [[Heart Container|hearts]] have nearly depleted, as well as pointing out that Link's [[shield]] is about to break and when the batteries in the Wii Remote have almost run out.<ref>{{cite|Master, the batteries in your Wii Remote are nearly depleted.|Fi|SS}}</ref><ref>{{cite|The integrity of your shield has weakened. Be wary of the remaining durability of this item.|Fi|SS}}</ref><ref>{{cite|Your hearts have decreased quite dramatically. Replenish some of your life at the earliest opportunity.|Fi|SS}}</ref>
Fi also has a treasure-seeking ability called [[Dowsing]]. It can sense important people and items and help Link to locate them, acting as a sort of compass.<ref>{{Cite|Taking this into account, I calculate an 85% probability that your quest will be aided if you find the lost Kikwis for the elder.

He can then choose in the Dowsing menu which specific object or person he wishes to track down. In Dowsing mode, pointing the Sword in the general of the target will cause it to beep, which becomes faster as Link approaches the target.


Whenever Link hits certain [[Goddess Crest]]s with a [[Skyward Strike]], a message intended for Hylia's chosen hero will awaken deep within Fi's memory.<ref>{{cite|Master, I have a message written in the language of the gods of old. Allow me to translate for you.|Fi|SS}}</ref><ref>{{cite|When you struck the crest with a Skyward Strike from your sword, a message from the goddess awakened deep within my memory. The goddess intended this message for you, Master. These are her words.|Fi|SS}}</ref> Fi will translate the message for Link while dancing and skating around the room until fully delivering the statement. She will also dance along as Link learns the three songs inside the [[Isle of Songs]]. Similarly, playing the [[Goddess's Harp]] at points needed to advance in the game will cause Fi to sing along the melody.
Fi also informs Link when his [[Heart]]s have nearly depleted,<ref>{{Cite|Your hearts have decreased quite dramatically. Replenish some of your life at the earliest opportunity.|Fi|SS}}</ref> and will eventually add them as Dowsing targets.<ref>{{Cite|To ensure that you are able to find more {{Color|SS Gold|hearts}} when you need them, they are now available as a target for your {{Color|SS Green|dowsing}} ability. Hold {{Icon|SS C}} and choose {{Color|SS Gold|hearts}} from the circle of objects to set them as your current target. This capability should prove to be quite useful.|Fi|SS}}</ref> If Link's [[Shield]] is about to break, she will warn him of this and caution him to take care of its remaining durability.<ref>{{Cite|The integrity of your shield has weakened. Be wary of the remaining durability of this item.|Fi|SS}}</ref> If the [[Wii Remote]]'s batteries are "nearly depleted", Fi will call attention to them.<ref>{{Cite|Master, the batteries in your Wii Remote are nearly depleted.|Fi|SS}}</ref>


After helping [[Gondo]] fix [[Scrapper]], Fi is able to persuade the [[Ancient Robot]] in helping Link carry various items from the surface up to [[The Sky]]. Should Link need the assistance of Scrapper, Fi will call Scrapper using telepathic transmission and ask him to transport it above the clouds.<ref>{{cite|Master, I will send word to the robot using telepathic transmission.|Fi|SS}}</ref>  
Fi follows in the tradition of past Link companions by translating messages for Link; in her case, these messages are from the gods of old. Whenever Link hits certain [[Goddess Crest]]s with a [[Skyward Strike]], a message intended for Hylia's Chosen Hero will awaken deep within Fi's memory.<ref>{{Cite|Master, I have a message written in the language of the gods of old. Allow me to translate for you.|Fi|SS}}</ref><ref name= "Hylia"/> Fi will translate the message for Link while dancing and skating around the room until fully delivering the statement. She will also dance along as Link learns the three songs inside the [[Isle of Songs]]. Similarly, playing the [[Goddess's Harp]] at points needed to advance in the game will cause Fi to sing along the melody.


Once Link seals away [[Demise]] within the Master Sword, Fi requests that Link end their "necessary relationship" by returning the Master Sword, as her purpose in aiding the chosen hero in his mission is complete.<ref>{{Cite|My purpose here is complete. Therefore, I ask you to dissolve our arrangement as master and servant. Drive the sword into the pedestal before you, and I will return to the sword to enter a sleep without end. Master, you have achieved the purpose you were chosen to fulfill. Please, set the sword in the pedestal and bring the goddess's mission to an end. Now, Master. It is time to conclude our necessary companionship.|Fi|SS}}</ref> Link thrusts the sword into its pedestal, but Fi calls him back to give a true goodbye, showing emotions for the first time and claiming that their time together was most precious, for it has experienced happiness before falling into an endless sleep.<ref>{{Cite|[Link], hear me. My purpose was to obey the command of the goddess and lead you, the chosen hero of this land, on your quest.

==Personality==
==Personality==
Similar to [[Midna]], Fi speaks in a synthesized, gibberish language. Its style of speech is also emotionless and robotic.<ref>{{cite|Upgrade detected. Analysis indicates this insect-like item is capable of flight.|Fi|Skyward Sword}}</ref> Fi has a tendency to predict percentages when analyzing things and determining probability. Fi refers to Link as its master, having recognized him as the chosen hero.<ref>{{cite|The one chosen by my creator. I have been waiting for you. You will play a role in a great destiny.|Fi|SS}}</ref><ref>{{cite|In the name of my creator, draw the sword and raise it skyward. [...] Recognition complete, Master...|Fi|SS}}</ref> Although Fi seems incapable of emotion, as the story goes on, it begins to develop a subtle friendship with Link, learning to cherish the moments they spent together and thanking him before she enters an eternal sleep into the Master Sword.<ref name=happiness/>
Fi's voice is made up of gibberish with a synthesized tone, emulating a real language. Her style of speech is also emotionless and robotic,<ref name="Recognition"/> and she has a propensity for providing statistical percentages for various conditions.<ref>{{Cite|Analysis indicates a 90% chance that the sounds we have been hearing were the loud snores of this Kikwi.|Fi|SS}}</ref> Curiously, Fi has an innate inability to comprehend human emotions despite being capable of detecting them.<ref>{{Cite|I sense a large disturbance in this individual's aura.

In {{HW}}, Fi's personality changes very little, although she seems to be somewhat fiercer, fighting alongside the other characters against enemy troops.
 
==Other Appearances==
==={{HW|-}}===
{{Noncanon|Start}}
{{Stub|HWDE}}
[[File:HW Fi Render.png|right|120px]]
Fi appears as a playable character in {{HW}}. She does not wield a weapon in battle, as she the Goddess Sword itself. Her fighting style is very elegant, and resembles ballet dancing, using her legs and feet to deal damage. She is capable of turning into the Goddess Sword for her attacks, and summoning the Sacred Flames. Fi has great mobility and crowd control, constantly moving with her attacks and has wide, sweeping blows that have no difficulty hitting multiple foes at once. However, she does suffer against boss characters due to lacking a sufficient aerial or weak point smash move.
 
Fi first appears in the [[Land in the Sky]] Scenario, where she asks Link to come to the Goddess Statue. Recognizing that this Link is not from their time period, she still choose to ally herself with him, calling Link "Master." In [[Sealed Ambition]], Fi assists in defeating [[The Imprisoned]] and Ghirahim on the Sealed Grounds.
 
When fought as an enemy Warrior, Fi occasionally drops the Fi's Heels Silver [[Material]] when defeated, and rarely the Fi's Crystal Gold Material.

==Gender==
{{Noncanon|End}}
In an interview, [[Eiji Aonuma]] stated his belief that Fi is not a female. This would imply that the entity is genderless. However, he does acknowledge that Fi has a feminine figure. <ref>{{cite web|quote="Basically  what leads Link on this adventure is the Skyward Sword," said Aonuma. "When that sword is actively guiding Link it actually transforms into a feminine figure. I wouldn't say that it's female per se but it's a feminine figure."|title=Skyward Sword is not Princess Zelda - Aonuma|url=http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/article.php?id=19093|site=officialnintendomagazine.co.uk}}</ref> Despite this claim, the spirit is referred to as "Mistress Fi" by [[Scrapper]], one of the [[Ancient Robot|Ancient Robots]].
 
==Design==
{{ImageCaption
|image = File:SS Fi Artwork 2.png
|size = x200px
|align = right
|caption = Developmental artwork of<br/>Fi from E3 2009
|captionalign = center
}}
An early design for Fi drew inspiration from the [[Fairy Queen]] from {{TWW}},<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Like the Fairy Queen in Wind Waker|book=HH|page= 12}}</ref> and depicted her with a grayer aesthetic. This design was used as the basis for her final appearance, which also incorporates design elements of the Master Sword itself.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Since the spirit of the Goddess Sword would eventually become the Master Sword, there were many design components taken from the Master Sword and implemented as motifs here.|book=HH|page= 13}}</ref> Most of Fi's body is purple, like the Sword's hilt, though Fi's legs share the green straps adorning the hilt, and the rest is a bluish-white, like the blade. The upper part of Fi's cloak resembles the Goddess Sword's crossguard. According to ''Hyrule Historia'', Fi is meant to appear between 13 and 14 years old.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= Looks 13 or 14 years old|book=HH|page= 12}}</ref>
 
In contrast with her final design, the base of her dress from her E3 2009 design was initially segmented and there were significantly more green lines strapping her legs. She also had a collar, which was removed in favor of a line bisecting her cloak-like wings, leading down to the diamond adorning her chest. This diamond was originally much smaller and situated lower down, on her solar plexus. The golden lines flanking the diamond were also moved further apart in her final design, no longer converging at the sides of the diamond. The ends of her wings were initially pointed, ultimately becoming round and frilled in the final design.

==Trivia==
*Fi bears a striking resemblance to the [[Fairy Queen]] from ''The Wind Waker'' and ''Four Swords Adventures''. The reason for this, if there is any, is unknown.
*According to the {{HH}}, Fi was inspired by the personal assistants of main characters in 1980s anime.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= ... at the beginning, we had imagined this a la 1980s anime, in which the main character was usually accompanied by a beautiful personal assistant|book=HH|page= 13}}</ref>
*Fi is the counterpart of [[Ghirahim]], as they are both the humanoid forms of swords.{{fact}}
*[[The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia|Hyrule Historia]] also explains that Fi actually has arms under them winged gown, but do not appear in-game as there was no need for them.
*Fi has a body similar to the Master Sword itself. Most of her body is the purple of the handle, the rest is the bluish-white of the blade. The upper part of her cloak, if looked at carefully, makes up the image of the Goddess Sword's crossguard. Her legs have the same green straps as the handle.
 
*Although Fi is the first appearance in the games of a spirit of the Master Sword, a voice from the sword speaks to Link in the [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (Himekawa)|''A Link to the Past'' Manga]]. This voice only speaks when Link first touches the sword, where it states that the hero has arrived to "give me new life in a new time" and commands him to raise the sword high.<ref>{{cite book|quote=The prophesied child awakens me. He gives me new life in a new time. I mark you as my bearer, you and only you. Draw me from the pedestal and raise me high. Raise me high!|book=The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|publisher=VIZ Media|page=100}}</ref> While the manga is uncanon, it is possible that this influenced the concept of Fi as it predates ''Skyward Sword'' by some time.
==Nomenclature==
*Since Fi rests inside the Master Sword for eternity, she is technically in each Zelda game that has the Master Sword. Though there are never any signs of her presence.
Fi's name could possibly be a reference to the commonly-used abbreviation for ''{{w|wiktionary|fidelis}}'', Latin for "faithful" or "loyal".

Revision as of 21:09, 26 April 2024

Fi is a recurring character in The Legend of Zelda series.[7] She is a humanoid spirit residing inside the Goddess Sword,[8] enlisted to guide Link during his adventure.[9]

Biography

Skyward Sword

The goddess Hylia created the Goddess Sword and Fi, an intelligent humanoid spirit who resides in the Sword, and gave her the purpose of assisting Hylia's Chosen Hero in fulfilling his destiny of defeating Demise.[10][8] She then enshrined the Sword inside the Statue of the Goddess before raising it into The Sky as part of Skyloft. Preceding the Wing Ceremony, Fi appears to Link in his dreams, foretelling his destiny.[11] After Link and Zelda are attacked by a black tornado, Link wakes up in his room, where he hears Fi speaking to him. Fi guides him to the Statue of the Goddess, further explaining his fate as the chosen hero and encouraging him to draw the Goddess Sword from its pedestal so that Fi can formally acknowledge him as her Master.[12][13][14] Fi gives Link the Emerald Tablet and tells him that he must go beneath the Cloud Barrier in order to find Zelda and fulfill his destiny,[15] with the Tablet activating a Column of Light illuminating the path through the Cloud Barrier.[16]

Once Link seals away Demise within the Master Sword, Fi requests that Link end their relationship by returning the Master Sword, as her purpose in aiding the chosen hero in his mission is complete.[17] Link thrusts the Sword into its pedestal in the Temple of Hylia, but Fi calls him back to give a true goodbye, showing emotions for the first time and claiming that their time together was the most precious, for she had experienced happiness before falling into an endless sleep.[18] She then thanks Link and hopes that they may meet again in another life as her consciousness fades away into the Master Sword.[19]

Breath of the Wild

Although Fi does not appear in person in Breath of the Wild, she is referred to several times and speaks to Zelda on one occasion.

When Zelda questions Link's skill with the Master Sword, she refers to Fi indirectly, saying that legends tell of a voice within the sword and asking if Link can hear it.[20] After Link is nearly killed fighting off the Guardians controlled by Calamity Ganon, Fi speaks from within the Master Sword - signaled by the Master Sword glowing and their sound effect playing - and tells Zelda to take Link to the Shrine of Resurrection.[21][22][23]

After defeating Calamity Ganon, Zelda mentions that she can no longer hear the voice inside the Master Sword, assuming it is because her own power has dwindled over the past 100 years, yet she accepts that.[24]

After completing the Trial of the Sword, while Link is observing the new power unlocked within the Master Sword, Fi's sound effect plays and the Sword glows once more.

Tears of the Kingdom

When Link finds a strange light at the Temple of Time, the Master Sword glows and Fi's sound effect plays, instructing him to place it in the light. After Link does so, the sword time travels thousands of years into the past where Princess Zelda is waiting for it. Once in the past Fi informs Zelda that Link is safe, having survived Ganondorf's attack, and that she has traveled back in time to find Zelda and so the Master Sword can regain its strength.[25]

When Link later retrieves the Master Sword from the Light Dragon where it has been recovering its power for thousands of years, Zelda refers to Fi by calling the sword "she" instead of "it".[26]

After Link defeats Ganondorf and saves Zelda, Fi greets the princess once more from within the Master Sword and Zelda realizes her plan worked.

Abilities

Like her fellow Sword Spirit, Ghirahim, Fi possesses psychic abilities, specifically telepathy. Throughout Link's journey, she aids the hero by providing him with information about the area he is in, the enemies he is facing, and even messages directly from Hylia to Link.[27] Fi can be talked to when Link is traveling on foot by pressing down on the D-Pad of the Wii Remote.[28] When this is done, Fi will give Link various options to choose from, providing the play time of the current session, the current objective, and advice as to what he should do next, which include a summary of the past few events as well as hints and rumors.[29] In addition, Fi will give Link a basic description of a targeted enemy and its weaknesses. Fi will also tell the hero how many times he has defeated any type of enemy and gives an indication of Link's proficiency in fighting a specific type of enemy.[30] When this is used on Bosses, Fi will usually give a limited supply of information about the enemy's weaknesses. If Link is defeated in the battle, and Fi is once again asked to give advice, more information will be available. Other than enemies and bosses, Fi can also scan people, Bugs and locations. Fi can telepathically talk to people and robots and sense people's auras.[31][32]

Fi also has a treasure-seeking ability called Dowsing. It can sense important people and items and help Link to locate them, acting as a sort of compass.[33] When Link needs to locate a certain person or item, Fi will add a Dowsing option accordingly. He can then choose in the Dowsing menu which specific object or person he wishes to track down. In Dowsing mode, pointing the Sword in the general of the target will cause it to beep, which becomes faster as Link approaches the target.

Fi also informs Link when his Hearts have nearly depleted,[34] and will eventually add them as Dowsing targets.[35] If Link's Shield is about to break, she will warn him of this and caution him to take care of its remaining durability.[36] If the Wii Remote's batteries are "nearly depleted", Fi will call attention to them.[37]

Fi follows in the tradition of past Link companions by translating messages for Link; in her case, these messages are from the gods of old. Whenever Link hits certain Goddess Crests with a Skyward Strike, a message intended for Hylia's Chosen Hero will awaken deep within Fi's memory.[38][27] Fi will translate the message for Link while dancing and skating around the room until fully delivering the statement. She will also dance along as Link learns the three songs inside the Isle of Songs. Similarly, playing the Goddess's Harp at points needed to advance in the game will cause Fi to sing along the melody.

After helping Gondo fix Scrapper, Fi is able to persuade the Ancient Robot to assist Link by carrying various items from the surface up to The Sky. Should Link need the assistance of Scrapper, Fi will call Scrapper using telepathic transmission and ask him to transport it above the clouds.[39]

Personality

Fi's voice is made up of gibberish with a synthesized tone, emulating a real language. Her style of speech is also emotionless and robotic,[14] and she has a propensity for providing statistical percentages for various conditions.[40] Curiously, Fi has an innate inability to comprehend human emotions despite being capable of detecting them.[41]

Fi refers to Link as her Master, having recognized him as the Chosen Hero to complete Hylia's mission.[42][14] Despite her initial lack of emotion, she develops a subtle friendship with Link, learning to cherish the moments they spent together and thanking him before she enters an eternal sleep into the Master Sword.[18][19]

In Hyrule Warriors, Fi's personality changes very little, although she seems to be somewhat fiercer, fighting alongside the other characters against enemy troops.

Other Appearances

Hyrule Warriors



HW Fi Render.png

Fi appears as a playable character in Hyrule Warriors. She does not wield a weapon in battle, as she the Goddess Sword itself. Her fighting style is very elegant, and resembles ballet dancing, using her legs and feet to deal damage. She is capable of turning into the Goddess Sword for her attacks, and summoning the Sacred Flames. Fi has great mobility and crowd control, constantly moving with her attacks and has wide, sweeping blows that have no difficulty hitting multiple foes at once. However, she does suffer against boss characters due to lacking a sufficient aerial or weak point smash move.

Fi first appears in the Land in the Sky Scenario, where she asks Link to come to the Goddess Statue. Recognizing that this Link is not from their time period, she still choose to ally herself with him, calling Link "Master." In Sealed Ambition, Fi assists in defeating The Imprisoned and Ghirahim on the Sealed Grounds.

When fought as an enemy Warrior, Fi occasionally drops the Fi's Heels Silver Material when defeated, and rarely the Fi's Crystal Gold Material.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Fi appears as a Trophy.

Design

SS Fi Artwork 2.png
Developmental artwork of
Fi from E3 2009

An early design for Fi drew inspiration from the Fairy Queen from The Wind Waker,[43] and depicted her with a grayer aesthetic. This design was used as the basis for her final appearance, which also incorporates design elements of the Master Sword itself.[44] Most of Fi's body is purple, like the Sword's hilt, though Fi's legs share the green straps adorning the hilt, and the rest is a bluish-white, like the blade. The upper part of Fi's cloak resembles the Goddess Sword's crossguard. According to Hyrule Historia, Fi is meant to appear between 13 and 14 years old.[45]

In contrast with her final design, the base of her dress from her E3 2009 design was initially segmented and there were significantly more green lines strapping her legs. She also had a collar, which was removed in favor of a line bisecting her cloak-like wings, leading down to the diamond adorning her chest. This diamond was originally much smaller and situated lower down, on her solar plexus. The golden lines flanking the diamond were also moved further apart in her final design, no longer converging at the sides of the diamond. The ends of her wings were initially pointed, ultimately becoming round and frilled in the final design.

Trivia

  • According to the Hyrule Historia, Fi was inspired by the personal assistants of main characters in 1980s anime.[46]
  • Hyrule Historia also explains that Fi actually has arms under them winged gown, but do not appear in-game as there was no need for them.

Nomenclature

Fi's name could possibly be a reference to the commonly-used abbreviation for fidelis, Latin for "faithful" or "loyal".

I do not have the capability to fully understand the human spirit, Link... But now, at the end of my journey with you, as I prepare to sleep within the Master Sword forever, I experience a feeling I am unable to identify.
