Main Characters

These central figures drive the core narrative and are pivotal to the storyline.

	Princess Zelda In this installment, Princess Zelda steps into the protagonist’s role. After Link is swallowed by a mysterious rift following Ganon’s defeat, Zelda embarks on a quest to rescue him and restore Hyrule. Armed with the magical Tri Rod and guided by the fairy Tri, she utilizes her wisdom and newfound abilities to confront emerging threats and mend the fabric of her kingdom.
	Tri Tri is an enigmatic fairy who aids Zelda on her journey. Initially appearing as a small, yellow figure, Tri reveals their full form after Zelda’s escape from Hyrule Castle’s dungeons. They bestow upon Zelda the Tri Rod, a powerful artifact that allows her to create “echoes”—replicas of objects and creatures—to assist in overcoming obstacles and enemies. Tri’s knowledge of the rifts and the Still World is instrumental in guiding Zelda through her mission.
	Link Traditionally the hero of Hyrule, Link plays a different role in this narrative. After defeating Ganon and freeing Zelda from her crystal prison, a sudden rift opens, pulling Link into the Still World. His capture serves as the catalyst for Zelda’s quest, as she endeavors to rescue him and uncover the origins of the rifts threatening Hyrule.
	Ganon Known as the King of Evil, Ganon is initially believed to be the primary antagonist behind the dark rifts appearing throughout Hyrule. However, it’s revealed that the Ganon encountered in this adventure is actually an echo—a replica created by the true antagonist, Null. This deception adds complexity to Zelda’s journey as she confronts this formidable foe.
	Null Null is a primordial cosmic entity that existed before the creation of the world. Resentful of the Golden Goddesses for sealing it away beneath Hyrule, Null seeks to return existence to nothingness by generating destructive rifts across the kingdom. It possesses the ability to create echoes, using this power to manipulate events and challenge Zelda’s mission to restore balance.
