One hundred years later, Link's revival process was complete, at the cost of all of his old memories. Zelda was able to telepathically contact Link even while holding Calamity Ganon at bay. The first time she did so was when she urged Link to wake up. She also informed him about such things as the blood moon. Her power was weakening, and she could not hold Calamity Ganon back for much longer, so Link's quest was an urgent one. Eventually, Link was able to enter Hyrule Castle just as the power of Zelda's seal broke completely. Link did battle with Calamity Ganon, and after he assumed his second form, Zelda was able to lend some help. With her power, she created several vulnerable points in Ganon's protective [[Malice]] that Link could attack. Link was able to exploit the weaknesses she created and defeated Calamity Ganon. Zelda was then able to resume her physical form and used her power to truly seal away (or possibly destroy) Calamity Ganon. She then met with Link for the first time in a century and asked him if he remembered her. If Link had regained all of the memories of Zelda that were available in the game, freed all of the Divine Beasts and regained the Master Sword, an extra ending scene appeared after the credits. In that scene, Zelda was shown to be traveling Hyrule with Link and helping the kingdom's citizens to rebuild their lives following the fall of Calamity Ganon. They also continued to look after the status of the Divine Beasts. It was shown that Zelda had lost her magical power completely, as she could no longer hear the Master Sword's voice, but she accepted that with contentment. | One hundred years later, Link's revival process was complete, at the cost of all of his old memories.

This is also the first time Zelda is shown as being skilled with a bow, and her costume reflected her more active physical role in the series. Her father, King Harkinian, also appeared. Link and Zelda also appeared in an episode that crossed over with ''Captain N: The Game Master''. |

*The manga adaptation to ''The Legend of Zelda'' established the "Zelda lineage" as the caretakers of the Triforce, and the backstory showed the previous blue-haired Princess Zelda (XVI) as the holder of the Triforce of Power, until Ganon killed her to claim it. However, the young Princess Zelda XVII, her daughter, was able to repel him with the Triforce of Wisdom that her mother had passed down. This Zelda grows into a rebellious, tomboyish princess who convinces the cowardly Link to accompany her in investigating Ganon's return. She actually battles Ganon briefly, but she is defeated and captured, at which point she scatters the Triforce of Wisdom so Link could find it. She remains in a slumber until Link slays Ganon and awakens her, at which point she is glad both to see that Link had rescued her and that her mother's Triforce was free. Although neither of the two find out, it is shown within this story that Link and Zelda are actually half-siblings due to the previous princess's taboo affair with the elf hero Rune. | *The manga adaptation to ''The Legend of Zelda'' established the "Zelda lineage" as the caretakers of the Triforce, and the backstory showed the previous blue-haired Princess Zelda (XVI) as the holder of the Triforce of Power, until Ganon killed her to claim it.

*Zelda appears in the 1992 comic adaptation of ''A Link to the Past'', which expands on her relationship with Link in a tragic light. They communicate primarily over telepathy to defeat Ganon. Zelda becomes queen afterwards, while Link becomes guardian of the Triforce. Their duties force them to be distant after they used to be so close, with Zelda reflecting on the irony that they were at their closest when fighting Ganon, and that she would never forget when they were together in their dreams. | *Zelda appears in the 1992 comic adaptation of ''A Link to the Past'', which expands on her relationship with Link in a tragic light.

*Over the years, there have so far been two instances of a titular "Legend of Zelda", and each instance has involved a character who is implied to be the original Zelda. The backstory for ''Zelda II'' was referred to by Impa as the Legend of Zelda. The other instance is ''Skyward Sword'', where developers referred to it as the true Legend of Zelda due to the revelations about Zelda in the game. However, the phrase is never used within the actual game aside from a joking reference when Groose refers to their adventures as the Legend of Groose. | *Over the years, there have so far been two instances of a titular "Legend of Zelda", and each instance has involved a character who is implied to be the original Zelda.

Out of them, three of them have only been seen in picture form (from the backstories of ''The Minish Cap'', ''The Wind Waker'' and ''Breath of the Wild''), and only one (Tetra) goes by a different name.

There are still references to her in both games: in ''Link's Awakening'', [[Marin]] mentions Zelda's name at the beginning, as apparently Link had said her name while waking up.
