Princess Zelda is a central character in Nintendo's enduring The Legend of Zelda video game series. She is typically depicted as the princess of Hyrule, bearing a portion of the Triforce of Wisdom. Zelda is often tasked with protecting her kingdom from Ganondorf, the series' primary antagonist.

Zelda's roles vary across different games. While often depicted as a damsel in distress, needing rescue by Link, she is also frequently portrayed as a courageous and resourceful leader. She possesses magical abilities, including telepathy, premonition, and light-based attacks. In some iterations, she even adopts alternate identities or disguises to fight directly against evil forces, like the Sheikah warrior Sheik.

Her strong connection to the goddess Hylia is also a recurring theme, emphasizing her divine lineage and responsibility to protect Hyrule. Zelda's wisdom, courage, and dedication to her people make her a vital figure in the ongoing battle between good and evil.
