Biography

The Wind Waker

Descriptionshide ▲
Sue-Belle
Place of birth: Windfall Island
Personality: Serious

Sue-Belle was born and raised on Windfall, but she became concerned for the health of her grandfather, Sturgeon, so she decided to move to live with him on Outset Island.

Morning, noon and night, she fills vases with water and carries them on her head from the well to their house. Strangely enough, she actually enjoys the task.

Sue-Belle was originally born and raised on Windfall Island, but now resides on Outset Island with her grandfather, Sturgeon. She wears a pink dress and has blue-purple hair. She is always carrying a Jar of water over her head, and gives Link advice on how to lift jars and throw rocks. If Link throws a rock or any other projectile at her, the Jar will smash, leaving her shocked and saddened. If Link speaks to her after smashing her pot, she will take ten of his Rupees.

She is friends with Linda of Windfall Island. Sue-Belle sent her the orange dress she wears.[4]

Four Swords Adventures

The following section is not part of the Zelda canon and should not be taken as such.


In the exclusive game mode in the Japanese and Korean versions of Four Swords Adventures, Navi Trackers, Sue-Belle appears as one of the navigators. She can be unlocked by collecting three Secret Seashells.[5] She guides the players by providing instructions and updates on the current situation. She refers to Link with the "-san" honorific.

Sue-Belle is described as "a sweet lady",[6] and unlike her appearance in The Wind Waker, she speaks in an overly flirtatious tone. Her reactions toward Link when he is low-ranking are more cheering compared to the other two navigators, whose reactions are more mixed with warning. When she is the navigator, Links can find green and blue Lucky Stars in the Pots on the course.[7]
