Characters currently in-game: Fingon
CHARACTER
Character Name: Zelda, Princess of Hyrule
Character Age: 17
Canon: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Canon Point: Immediately post-game, after sending Link to his childhood
History: Princess Zelda
Personality: Zelda is a clever and kind soul, and as a girl proved to be both perceptive of ill-intent and capable of taking initiative when others would not heed her instincts. But when her plans to protect the Triforce backfired and ended with Ganondorf in control of both Hyrule and the Triforce of Power, Zelda's life suddenly careened down a different path than the one which might be expected of Hyrule's Crown Princess, and the trauma has marked her ever since.
As a young woman Zelda is quiet, melancholic, and tends toward the introspective. She has a love of music and poetry, and besides the company of her mother-figure, Impa, her ancestral harp is one of the few pleasures she's been able to indulge. The usual hallmarks of a secure adolescence- a normal education, social interaction with others her age, and a place to call home- are a distant memory at best. Instead she has spent her life training to evade Ganondorf and assist the Hero of Time, and she is utterly dedicated to both tasks.
Fueling this dedication is both a natural sympathy for her people in their time of need, and a deep sense of guilt for her role in Ganondorf's rise to power. This guilt makes her harsh and unsparing in her self-criticism and desperate to rectify what she can of her perceived mistakes. Her inability to significantly alleviate the suffering of the people of Hyrule frustrates her, but in the long run she knows that caution will serve both her and them best. If she slips in her disguise, reveals herself and allows the Triforce of Wisdom to fall into Ganondorf's hands, his capacity to project his will on the land will be all the greater.
Remembering that keeps her sane, but it's a cold sort of comfort.
Despite these experiences, Zelda retains her capacity for hope- in Link and in the ultimate resilience of the land of Hyrule- and is determined not to slip into bitterness or cynicism. Her regrets will haunt her for the rest of her life, but she does not want to succumb to them. Her people deserve better than that from her, and she does not intend to fail them so badly again.
Inventory: One royal dress with attendant jewelry, the Ocarina of Time and the Goddess' Harp. She's able to summon the Sheikah body armor for her Sheik persona, but it isn't on her at the moment.
Zelda would also have the Triforce of Wisdom with her normally, but given the potential for abuse that might cause I'm willing to say it remained in Hyrule when she came through the Door.
Abilities: Zelda is the Seventh Sage and bearer of the Triforce of Wisdom, both of which grant her significant magical abilities. She has a particular affinity for magic using light, time travel, mental abilities, and music. She has also inherited precognition from the ancestral powers of the Royal Family, and can sometimes discern the future from prophetic dreams.
Zelda was also trained by her Sheikah attendant, Impa, and has experience with survival training and fighting in the Sheikah style. As such, she also has an alter-ego, known as Sheik, which she often uses to evade danger.
Flaws: Her role in Ganondorf's acquisition of a Triforce Piece and an adolescence on the run have left Zelda an isolated, deeply guilt-ridden young woman. She's prone to blaming herself for the state of her native country and has little experience bonding with anyone who is not Impa or, to a certain degree, Link.
When she allows this guilt to act as her driving force she is prone to colossal mistakes of judgement, the most notable being her decision to send Link back to his childhood at the end of Ocarina of Time. She correctly judged that his childhood had been stolen from him over the course of the game, but in trying to rectify that loss her actions left him worse off than he was.
