It grants them myriad mystical abilities, including the ability to heal others, though there is a possibility that this could also be an effect of their bloodline passing down Hylia's own powers and, later, the [[Light Force]]. Each incarnation of Zelda uses their powers to keep evil in check.

To break the curse, a hero must possess the complete Triforce, but obtaining the [[Triforce of Courage]] would prove difficult as the king of ages ago had hidden it within the [[Great Palace]].<ref>{{Cite Manual|quote= There are three kinds of Triforce -- Power, Wisdom, and Courage. [...] Of the three, I have left Power and Wisdom in the kingdom. But the Triforce Courage I have hidden for a reason. [...] The Triforce of Courage is hidden in the Great Palace in the Valley of Death on the largest island in Hyrule.|game= TAoL|page= 9, 10}}</ref><ref>{{Cite Manual|quote= The magic spell cast upon Princess Zelda will sure to be broken if the Triforce is used. Please, Link. Unite the Triforce and save the princess. And bring back peace to Hyrule.|game= TAoL|page= 12}}</ref> Only one who proved themselves worthy would obtain it.


In the end, Link obtains the Triforce of Courage from the Great Palace and awakes the sleeping princess from her slumber.

{{Term|StBotW|Zelda}} appears in the {{StBotW}}. Picking up where the true ending left off, Zelda alongside Link traversed through a cave, only to find [[Ganondorf|a mummified Gerudo corpse]] with an ethereal hand touching its chest, as well as it attracting Malice. She eventually ended up separated from Link, and witnessed the corpse revive itself via the malice.
Following the defeat of {{Term|TotK|Dark Beast Ganon|link}}, {{Term|TotK|Link}} and {{Term|TotK|Zelda|link}} move into {{Term|TotK|Link's House|link}} in {{Term|TotK|Hateno Village|link}}. When {{Term|TotK|Gloom|link}} begins to seep out from underneath {{Term|TotK|Hyrule Castle|link}}, {{Term|TotK|Purah|link}} tasks the duo with investigating its source. As they travel {{Term|TotK|beneath Hyrule Castle|link}}, {{Term|TotK|Zelda}} takes note of the architecture and writing, concluding it to be {{Term|TotK|Zonai|link}} in origin. {{Term|TotK|Zelda}} also finds a mural and explains to {{Term|TotK|Link}} that it likely depicts the events of the {{Term|TotK|Imprisoning War|link}}, an event that occurred around the time of {{Term|TotK|Hyrule Kingdom|link}}'s founding that shaped the course of history. When they reach the depths of the tunnels {{Term|TotK|Beneath Hyrule Castle}}, they stumble upon a mummified body with a {{Term|TotK|Right Arm|link}} gripping its chest. The hand lets go of its grip and drops its {{Term|TotK|Secret Stone|link}} when {{Term|TotK|Zelda}} draws near. After {{Term|TotK|Zelda}} picks up the {{Term|TotK|Secret Stone}}, the mummified body awakens and spews {{Term|TotK|Gloom}} toward {{Term|TotK|Zelda}}. {{Term|TotK|Link}} deflects the attacks in an attempt to protect {{Term|TotK|Zelda}}, but the {{Term|TotK|Gloom|link}} corrupted {{Term|TotK|Link}}'s arm and torso and caused the {{Term|TotK|Master Sword}} to break. {{Term|TotK|Ganondorf}} then releases a strong burst of {{Term|TotK|Gloom}} upward, tearing {{Term|TotK|Hyrule Castle}} from the ground around it and sending it into the {{Term|TotK|Sky|link}}. This causes the ground beneath all of them to collapse, sending the three into a freefall. While {{Term|TotK|Link}} attempts to grab {{Term|TotK|Zelda}} midair, the {{Term|TotK|Secret Stone}} she picked up begins to glow and she is sent to the distant past.
 
When {{Term|TotK|Link}} first enters the {{Term|TotK|Temple of Time}}, an image of {{Term|TotK|Zelda}} gives {{Term|TotK|Link}} the ability of {{Term|TotK|Recall|link}}, allowing {{Term|TotK|Link}} to make a single object reverse its trajectory. The decayed {{Term|TotK|Master Sword|link}} is later sent back in time to {{Term|TotK|Zelda}} in the distant past.
 
Visions of {{Term|TotK|Zelda}} appear throughout Hyrule in the modern time.
 
During the {{Term|TotK|Imprisoning War|link}} in the distant past, {{Term|TotK|Zelda}} is known as the Sage of Time. Shortly after the war, {{Term|TotK|Zelda}} foretold to the other Sages of {{Term|TotK|Ganondorf}}'s resurrection, and told that their descendants should fight along with {{Term|TotK|Link}} when the time comes. In order to ensure that the Master Sword will be restored when Link needs it, she transforms herself into the [[Light Dragon]].

In the {{Term|TMC|Minish Legend}}, a hero clad in green clothes, the [[Hero of Men]] arose to fight the demons attacking the world. This story of the {{Term|TMC|Minish Legend}} is depicted in a series of stained glass windows beneath the [[Elemental Sanctuary]]. One of the stained glass windows depicts a Princess of Hyrule wielding the [[Light Force]]. Using the stained glass window, [[Vaati]] is able to deduce that the Light Force is currently held by the current Princess Zelda.
