History/Backstory:
Princess Zelda is a member of Hyrule's Royal Family. She is associated with the Goddess Nayru and the Triforce of Wisdom, Zelda is possessed of supremely good judgment in most cases—although this does not always aid her in avoiding capture. Zelda is also gifted with psychic and magical powers, such as telepathy and precognition. At her most powerful, Zelda can cast spells and create or undo barriers and seals. Her boyish alter-ego is a male Sheikah named Sheik who posses Ninja like skills.
Not much is known about Zelda’s family, they are rarely mentioned or seen in-game. The king and the prince who were related to the cursed Zelda in AoL are never even named, their actions merely provide an explanation for her fate and the Triforce’s condition. The return of the king to Hyrule Castle is seen briefly in the ALttP end sequence. The next time we hear of a royal relative is young Zelda’s mention of her father in Ocarina of Time, but this is brief and he makes no appearance. (Some speculate this king may be Daphnes Nohansen, but evidence is sketchy.) In TWW, Zelda’s relations consist of a deceased mother (a picture of her can be seen inside Zelda's quarters on the pirate ship, she has short dark hair and somewhat resembles Impa from OOT) who previously led her band of pirates, and an ancient ancestor who often takes the form of a talking boat. The first significant relationship shown is with Daltus, father of Zelda in The Minish Cap. When Zelda is turned to stone, he is desperate to find a way to save her. The quest to do so also requires Link to get help from the spirit of another royal ancestor, Gustaf.
