Talk:Princess Zelda
Name
Zelda's name is Princess Zelda (or possibly more formally Princess Zelda Hyrule). Not Zelda Harkinian (after King Harkinian), in the same way that it is not Zelda Daltus (after King Daltus, or Zelda Daphnes Nohansen (after Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule)!! --Adamcox82 13:48, 8 August 2007 (PDT)
Age
Someone changed her age from about 17 to about 20; is there an official source for this? Or if we are just guessing, would it not be better to suggest her age as "late teens"? Adamcox82
17 - 19
That's what Link is in tp? so zelda's almost certainly the same age!
- OK, if we're saying 17-19, isn't that the same thing as "late teens" as I said above? Adamcox82 12:54, 24 April 2007 (PDT)
- Yeah, true. Sorry. :)
im pretty sure somewhere in a nitnedo magazine i read 17 - 19 so lates teens is correct.
"Princess Zelda is about 20 years old, and is the Queen-in-waiting of Hyrule." <--- this statment comes from the official players guide to Twilight Princess.
- Do you mean this one?
No, this one This is where I found the info on Zelda. She's on the right side, third person down. I found the page at The Hylia. In their toolbar, there is word "Media" with an Ocarina. -->[1]
- Thank you very much, I've now cited this as a source in the article. --Adamcox82 13:09, 21 June 2007 (PDT)
You're Welcome.
- Is a strategy guide really a good source for information like this? Strategy guides have been known to screw things up, Prima included (you can't get the Honey & Darling heart piece in Majora's Mask before Woodfall, Prima). Ando 21:24, 19 January 2008 (EST)
- Addendum: After re-going through the game, I've deemed it IS possible to do that, so, uh... They still made some mistakes in the Majora's Mask guide, though. D:< --Ando 23:04, 1 February 2008 (EST)
- Since you apparently agree that strategy guides can get it wrong, isn't it wiser to generalize and say "late teens", so nothing is explicitly wrong? Saibh 16:14, 21 March 2008 (EDT)
Don't understand
although she does not become a spirit like her people under the influence of the Twilight King's magic. The reason may be from Zelda's Triforce of Wisdom. What does this line mean?
- I thought the same first time I read that sentence. I've rewritten it; does that make more sense? --Adam 17:56, 23 September 2007 (EDT)
This is a good article, but i am disappointed that it became the featured article. I'm not sure why, but I have a deep down hatred for Zelda (link does all the work and she reaps all the rewards?) Anyway, I guess this means i shouldn't be here.--Claire 20:46, 31 January 2008 (EST)
- Wait, she reaps all the rewards? What? She gets just as much as Link. :/ --Ando 14:11, 1 February 2008 (EST)
I put it in the parentheses () because i didn't mean it literally, possibly a reason somebody else would understand. I hate Zelda; but at the same time I feel bad for her, because i hate her. Whats the word?...--Claire 20:53, 1 February 2008 (EST)
The word is. . . uh. . .oh. . .nevermind. --Claire 19:19, 17 February 2008 (EST)
Just a thought
"Link transformed into a wolf by the Twilight's power." <--found in the explanation of Zelda's role in TP.
I thought Link was transformed because he was also protected from the twilight (because he holds the triforce of courage), like Zelda, (holds the triforce of wisdom).
When he enterted twilight, the triforce started to glow on his hand, and transformed/protected him. Isn't that something of what one light spirit said?
- Correct. The quote form Faron is:
- And the triforce emblem is shown on Link's hand as he transforms into a wolf. The implication of this is that the power of the triforce offers partial protection from the effect of twilight, by enabling Link to maintain a corporeal (if altered) form. --Adam 02:54, 28 September 2007 (EDT)
Zelda is kinda creepy as a kid in oot.
I Wanna Know If She Remembers??
I was wondering after the Legend Of Zelda : OOT, does anyone know if Zelda remembers Link at the end of the game when Link goes to her as children? Template:Nosig
- Nope, she doesn't. During Majora's Mask, when you reclaim the Ocarina of Time, a memory of Zelda comes back to Link and she says that, although she hasn't known him for a long time, she feels as if she has forever. Saibh 18:17, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Ok....but your missing the fact that she say "I'll never forget the time we spent in hyrule." So i think she remembers!And she wouldn't entrust someone she just met with the ocarina,and to top it all they hardly knew each other to began with seeing that he was in the temple of time for seven years! Template:Nosig
- Well, we know for a fact he comes back to meet Zelda from the end of OoT. There's no saying a certain amount of time hadn't passed. Besides, if Zelda had remembered, than she wouldn't of said that she hadn't known him for that long. If you already had an opinion, why'd you ask? O.o Saibh 20:37, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
I didn't know it's just an opinion i thought there was a fact...... Template:Nosig
Triforces
Does anyone know why Zelda was still normal...but Link turned into a wolf??? Does that mean the triforce of wisdom is stronger or something ..why didn't she change or why DID Link change if she didn't? --Remo 04:07, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
- I've been wondering that too. Perhaps it was because she was the person who chose Hyrule's fate. Therefore, her remaining normal would be part of her punishment. It could be that Zelda is aware of the Triforce of Wisdom and knows how to use it. Link, however is not aware right away. It is just a guess. I'm not sure.--Mjr162006 04:28, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
that makes more sense..the part about knowing she had the triforce..I think since Midna turned into an imp being human wouldn't be a punishment for her. --Remo 18:37, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
