| ~ Princess Zelda during Spirit Tracks. |
Princess Zelda is the titular deuteragonist of the 2009 action-adventure game The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks.
She is the princess of New Hyrule and the direct descendant of the pirate, Tetra. She is the constant companion of Link who accompanies him wherever he goes.
Personality[]
When Zelda is first met at her castle, she initially appears similar to her other incarnations, being kind and considerate towards Link. But due to being sheltered by Chancellor Cole for much of her life, she is rather inexperienced with the outside world. Because of this, she is easily frightened by rats and the various monsters that roam the land. She is also shown to have some lack of self-esteem when faced with the tasks that lay before her and Link. However, as time goes on, Zelda gradually becomes more confident and courageous as she assists Link on their quest to save New Hyrule. Despite this, she is still shown to have a fear of rats.
History[]
Spirit Tracks[]
Princess Zelda, descendant of Tetra, plays a much larger role in Spirit Tracks than in previous installments, as she also aids Link (who is portrayed as a conductor) in the salvation of Hyrule. She is first seen acknowledging Link as a full-fledged train engineer at the palace when he heads there for his graduation ceremony, but then secretly invites him to her quarters where she voices her suspicion of Chancellor Cole. After sneaking out of the castle with Link's help, the two of them and Alfonzo attempt to escape via train, but the train crashes due to the disappearing tracks. Chancellor Cole then appears in his true form and attacks (and technically kills) Zelda, taking her body in process in an attempt to revive the Demon King Malladus; Zelda's spirit fortunately escapes and returns to Hyrule Castle. There, she meets with Link, who seems to be the only one that can see her (as she is now a ghost).
Link and Zelda travel to the Tower of Spirits, where they attempt to restore the Spirit Tracks.
Eventually, Zelda's body has been possessed by Malladus, Link frees her body by firing a Light Arrow using the Bow of Light. Zelda is initially unable to reenter her body, which allows Malladus to attempt to possess it again. This is countered, however, when Byrne uses his power to repel the Demon King, giving Zelda the strength to pray to Tetra to reclaim her body. Zelda, now back in her body, assists Link in the final against the Demon King, and together they bring an end to him for good. They are then seen holding hands as they witness the departure of the Lokomos.
After the ending credits, Princess Zelda can be seen at her office signing papers and, depending on whether Link chose to be an engineer or a warrior, she will go look out the window and wave at Link upon hearing either a train whistle or swords clanking or simply remember her adventure with Link.
