A Zora who lives in Hyrule. She is quiet and reserved. Yet she possesses a special power that no other Zora have.

A Gerudo lady and one of the Champions. She has the power to control lightning. Strong willed, she stays true to herself while still being considerate to those around her. She cares for Zelda like a big sister.

A type of monster that lives in Hyrule. They usually band together to make the hideouts they inhabit. Rather endearingly, they have a fear of bees. But if you run into them on your journey, then expect a fight!
