The Wind Waker

File:TetraWW.png
The unconscious Tetra in the beginning of the game

The pirate who was kidnapped by the Helmaroc King early in The Wind Waker. When the bird is shot, she falls into the forest, and the Helmaroc King takes Aryll, mistaking her for the pirate. Template:Spoiler In her room in the pirate ship, there is a picture of the Royal Family including Princess Zelda and a band of people that look closely related to the pirates on board. This picture and others also hang from the walls in Hyrule Castle which Link visits during The Wind Waker. It is later revealed that Tetra is in fact a descendant of the Zelda bloodline, making her Princess of Hyrule which in her time, is still flooded deep under the Great Sea.

As Zelda, she later aids Link in the final battle against Ganondorf, wielding Link's bow and firing Light Arrows at the fiend.

After Hyrule's final end, Link and Zelda, once more in the guise of Tetra, float to the surface and reunite with Tetra's pirates, sailing away to find a new land to call their own.

Four Swords Adventures

Template:Sectstub In Four Swords Adventures' Navi Trackers mode, Tetra sets Link out to solve puzzles and locate several stamps held by the pirates. Tetra is exceptionally notable here as she remains to be the only character in the series to be given full voice acting, featured only in Navi Trackers.

Phantom Hourglass

File:Normal i 13150.jpg
Tetra in Phantom Hourglass

In Phantom Hourglass, she and Link happen upon a Ghost Ship, which they investigate. Tetra is separated from the others and is summarily kidnapped, forcing Link to try and rescue her.

After Link defeats Bellum, he and Tetra awaken on the Ghost Ship, only ten minutes after the prologue according to the pirates. Tetra's crew tries to convince her that it was just a dream, but Link finds the Phantom Hourglass in his pocket, and the S.S. Linebeck is seen sailing in the distance.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Tetra does not appear as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but hacking of the game have discovered that there were unused character files for 'Toon Zelda' and 'Toon Sheik', which many speculated to be Tetra, as Sheik has never had a 'Toon' form. As Sheik is already the alternative form of Zelda, Tetra could be the alternative form of Toon Zelda.

However, Tetra appears in the game as a trophy.

Notes about the Character

  • Tetra's name could be derived from the Latin meaning for 'four', similar to Tetris, this could hint at her being the fourth Zelda descendant in the timeline.
  • Tetra could also allude to tetrahedron, the physical shape of the Triforce.
  • A Tetra is also a type of South American freshwater fish, adding to the sea-faring theme of the game.
  • Although she is often considered one of the more independent and self-serving incarnations of Zelda, she is one of the only ones for Link to have to save in two games.
  • Although Tetra is never seen as Zelda in Phantom Hourglass, Zelda's Theme plays for a brief moment at the beginning of the game when she boards the Ghost Ship, and when her petrification is reversed.
  • Some members of the pirate crew call her Zelda in Phantom Hourglass. Tetra does not take very kindly to that.
  • Her lightning bolt shaped hair lets players know that she is strong, demanding character.
