	~ Urbosa fires upon Calamity Ganon

Urbosa is a character in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. She is from the Gerudo tribe and is one of the Champions of Hyrule.

She is voiced by Elizabeth Maxwell who also voiced Nagato in Kantai Collection, Winter Schnee in RWBY and Arisa Uotani in reboot of Fruit Basket

Personality

Strong and courageous, Urbosa is determined to protect Hyrule in the upcoming battle with the Calamity Ganon. Urbosa is very close to Zelda - becoming genuinely concerned for the latter's well-being, as well as respecting Zelda's dedication to her duties. She is aware of the long history that Calamity Ganon once took on a form of a Gerudo, which she greatly resented, which was the reason she accepted her calling to be among the four Champions and wanted to ensure that her people remain loyal to the Royal Family, if anything happened to her. She holds a deep respect and looks up to Nabooru, who opposed Ganon and was responsible for the positive influence she had on the Gerudo, which were reformed from being a reclusive gang of thieves to living normal lives and engaging in foreign trade with other tribes as a result, and states that Divine Beast Vah Naboris was named in her honor.

Urbosa has a penchant for teasing others, particularly Princess Zelda and Link, as seen when she startles the princess awake with Urbosa's Fury, with Zelda's reaction with added amusement.

Biography

The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild

Urbosa lived in Gerudo Town with the other members of her race. She was recruited by King Rhoam and Princess Zelda to become the Gerudo Champion and pilot of the Divine Beast Vah Naboris as a protector of Hyrule. Urbosa was able to control her Divine Beast with relative ease. Unfortunately the Gerudo warrior was killed by the Thunderblight Ganon during the Great Calamity. Her soul remained trapped inside of the corrupted Divine Beast for 100 years.

Urbosa's soul was freed after Link had slayed the thunder demon, she gives Link her special ability Urbosa's Fury and tells him to ask Zelda that she shouldn't burden herself with Urbosa's death. She was later seen firing her Divine Beast's laser towards Hyrule castle to help weaken the Calamity Ganon.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity

In Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, which takes place 100 years before Breath of the Wild, just before Calamity Ganon launched his attack, a small Guardian named Terrako that traveled into the past to warn the past versions of Zelda, Link, and the Champions of Calamity Ganon's impending attack gives them time to muster their forces for when he arrives. Urbosa is returning to Gerudo Town, where she serves as chieftain, but in the meantime, Yiga Clan leader Master Kohga impersonates her and sends the Gerudo warrior women after Link, Zelda, and Impa. When they finally reach Gerudo Town and go to see Urbosa, Kohga prepares to strike Zelda down while still disguised as Urbosa, but is harshly electrocuted and knocked out by the real Urbosa just in time since the real Urbosa could manipulate lightning against her foes. His cover blown, Kohga summons several of his warriors to fight Urbosa, Link, Zelda, Impa, and the Gerudo warrior women while he escapes. Urbosa later pursues him and defeats him, but before she can finish him off with Link, Sooga arrives and saves Kohga before escaping together with him. Later, Urbosa explains about the Yiga Clan and how they are Sheikah traitors who turned their back on Hyrule to side with Calamity Ganon, leaving Impa hurt to know some of her own kind have turned their back on Hyrule for Ganon. Urbosa then agrees to pilot Vah Nabrois against Calamity Ganon, due to her close bond with Zelda, acting like a big sister to her due to how close Urbosa was with Zelda's late mother, the Queen of Hyrule. After all four Champions are gathered, they join Link and Zelda as they head into the Korok Forest to locate the Master Sword, encountering the large Korok Hestu, who they help reach home after learning that the forest is infested with monsters he can't get past on his own. However, upon reaching the grove where the Master Sword rests, Link and Zelda are ambushed by Astor, a follower of Calamity Ganon, who attacks them with Malice-made copies of Urbosa and the other Champions, known as Hollows. Just as the Hollow of Urbosa is about to stab Zelda in the face and kill her, the Master Sword reacts to Zelda being in danger and Link's presence, and destroys the Hollows, before Link draws the sword from its pedestal and prepares to face Astor with it. Later, after Link gains possession of the Master Sword and chases off Astor, as they return to Hyrule Castle Town, Zelda voices her doubts at becoming as strong as Link has become thanks to the Master Sword, but Urbosa once more assures Zelda that Link is still the same boy, despite his true calling as the hero to wield the Blade of Evil's Bane, and to remember what the Great Deku Tree said when they visited it earlier, putting Zelda at ease. Soon after returning to Castle Town, Urbosa is officially given her Champion of Hyrule attire, retiring wearing the crown she wore as Gerudo Chieftain. From there, she joins Link and Zelda as Purah shows them the Sheikah towers and their unique abilities when used in conjunction with the Sheikah Slate. Shortly thereafter, Urbosa returns to Gerudo Town and prepares to take Vah Nabrois for a run to test out Purah's theory about the Sheikah towers. Her mission proves successful as it clears the way straight to the Yiga Clan's main hideout. The Champions move in, and despite Master Kohga, Sooga, and their troops best tactics, the Yiga Clan are swiftly routed. Urbosa later returns to learn first-hand of the Sheikah towers' teleportation ability when Purah demonstrates it on her, Zelda, and Link alongside herself. However, Urbosa is forced to return to Gerudo Town to prepare Vah Nabrois for war when Impa reports to King Rhoam that Zelda's 17th birthday is the day that Calamity Ganon is to return, and Zelda is sent to the Spring of Courage to train, but after she, Impa, and Link fight off the monsters sent to deal with her, she chooses to head to Mount Lanayru to train at the Spring of Wisdom as soon as she is 17, while King Rhoam orders the civilians to evacuate Castle Town and Hyrule Castle, along with surrounding communities, to prevent collateral damage when the Guardians turn hostile thanks to Calamity Ganon's Malice, and has the Divine Beasts and their Champions prepare for the inevitable. The troops that are evacuated are transferred to Akkala Citadel and Fort Hateno, Hyrule's two vital strongholds, to reinforce the garrisons as if the Citadel and Fort fall, Hyrule is lost.

“	Vile creature! How is it moving like that?	„
	~ Urbosa as she and Riju stare down Thunderblight Ganon

Soon, Calamity Ganon arrives as planned, starting with when Yiga Clan members, who had infiltrated Robbie and Purah's lab, ambush them and their Sheikah staff, but Purah gives the Sheikah Slate to Terrako to take to Zelda. Shortly after that happens, Calamity Ganon's seal is ruptured, and the Malice and evil incarnate engulfs Hyrule Castle, turning the Guardians against those they were meant to protect. Urbosa and the other Champions take notice from the Sheikah towers in their respective regions before the towers lose their power and are rendered ineffective by Calamity Ganon, cutting the Champions off from aiding each other or the castle. King Rhoam and his Royal Knights are forced to stay behind and be presumably killed by the corrupted Guardians as Link and Impa grab Zelda and flee for their lives. Meanwhile, Urbosa is attacked inside Vah Nabrois by Thunderblight Ganon. She puts up a defiant resistance, but the Blight Ganon proves too quick and agile and soon she collapses to one knee in exhaustion, but before she is slain like in the original timeline, Terrako, in Zelda's grief and guilt, is able to summon Riju and Patricia from 100 years in the future in Breath of the Wild to arrive just in time to save Urbosa from Thunderblight Ganon, buying time until Link arrives to destroy Thunderblight Ganon for good, keeping Vah Nabrois under Urbosa's control and saving her life in the process. Before Link arrived, Riju was doubting she had been able to save Urbosa's life, but upon seeing Link had arrived, Urbosa assures Riju her efforts were not in vain before pointing out Link's arrival, raising Riju's spirits. With Urbosa and Riju piloting Vah Nabrois together, and joined by the other Champions and their future counterparts in the other Divine Beasts, both Akkala Citadel and Fort Hateno are saved from destruction by the corrupted Guardians and other monsters under Calamity Ganon, thanks in part to Purah having installed a failsafe that destroys most of the corrupted Guardian automatons, costing Calamity Ganon a huge chunk of his army as the Guardians were its main means to raze Hyrule in the Breath of the Wild timeline. Without them, Ganon only has a handful that survived to reinforce his monsters, giving Hyrule the upper hand. Urbosa later engages the enemy forces in Hyrule Field with Vah Nabrois, but after dealing with the first wave, she and Riju are exhausted as a second wave approaches, along with the dead enemies being resurrected as skeletal versions of themselves. Thankfully, the other Divine Beasts arrive to relieve them, thus clearing Hyrule Field of enemy forces to clear the path to Hyrule Castle. With Zelda taking command of the remaining Hyrulean Soldiers at the Citadel and Fort Hateno after awakening her power granted to her by the Triforce and Hylia, they defend the Great Plateau, supported by a reformed Master Kohga and the Yiga Clan, where Zelda finds that her father, King Rhoam, and his Royal Knights are still alive thanks to a Ancient Guardian Shield that Zelda gave her father earlier that protected them from the Guardians and stunned the corrupted automatons, buying the King and his men time to withdraw to the Great Plateau before they recovered. They are able to soon unite the Gerudo, Rito, Zora, Gorons, and Yiga Clan Sheikah together thanks to Purah as a united Hyrule allied coalition, and under Zelda's leadership with a still-living King Rhoam and his Hyrulean Soldiers joining their cause, supported by the Divine Beasts and their still-alive Champions, they launch the full-scale assault to take back Hyrule Castle from Calamity Ganon. After defeating his Harbinger in that timeline's Terrako that had been corrupted by Calamity Ganon's Malice when it followed the future Terrako back in time, along with Astor and resurrected Blight Ganons, Calamity Ganon uses Astor as his conduit to assume a physical, and more human-like, form to fight the Champions, Zelda, and Link with, destroying his Harbinger in the process. In the end, Terrako sacrifices himself to weaken Calamity Ganon enough for Link to deliver the finishing blow with the Master Sword and allow Zelda to seal Calamity Ganon away once and for all. With Calamity Ganon gone, Riju, Patricia, and the other future Champions are returned to their time period by the residual energy from the ancient screw left from Terrako's sacrifice, and with herself and the other Champions still alive, Urbosa and the others are happy to see their future looking bright, especially after they are able to rebuild Terrako and reunite him with Zelda once more.
