*Zelda appeared as a main character in the 13-episode ''Legend of Zelda'' cartoon series, where she frequently had to be rescued by Link and would often refuse his attempts to kiss her, prompting his catchphrase of "Well excuuuse me, princess!", and she had the role of protecting the Triforce of Wisdom from being stolen by Ganon. This is also the first time Zelda is shown as being skilled with a bow, and her outfit (which included pants as opposed to the dress that was typical throughout most of the game series) 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.

*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.

*The 2012 ''Skyward Sword'' manga that was included in the [[Hyrule Historia]] acted as a prequel to the game featuring the goddess Hylia. It was shown that Hylia was the original rider of the red Loftwing that would later be Link's, and she also brought the Master Sword to Link when choosing him as her champion. She claimed that the Master Sword was originally created for the gods and had Link reforge it so that it could be wielded by mortals. It was also revealed that she was responsible for the trials Link had been through in being wrongly imprisoned, as a way to test him and prepare him for his role as a hero. Link ultimately died helping to raise Skyloft while fending off Demise, and Hylia chose to reincarnate their souls whenever Hyrule was in trouble, explaining the cycle of reincarnation throughout the series. A young version of the ''Skyward Sword'' Zelda also appeared in scenes bookending the manga, in which she kept Link from falling asleep during class. It is unclear if this manga is meant to be canon.
 
*She was featured in Akira Himekawa's manga adaptation of ''Twilight Princess'', which ran for 70 chapters from 2016 to 2022.
