Zelda - Skyloft
Zelda, daughter of Gaepora, lived in Skyloft with her childhood friend Link, where they were both students at the Knight Academy. After playing the role of the Goddess at the Wing Ceremony, Link and Zelda went for a flight together, when suddenly a twister pulled Zelda and her Loftwing below the clouds. This phenomenon was later revealed to have been caused by Ghirahim, who needed Zelda's soul to resurrect Demise, his master. Upon Zelda's arrival on the Surface, however, she was rescued by Impa before the Demon Lord could capture her. Link then began to look for Zelda and eventually found her in the Earth Spring, but Impa impeded him from reaching the young girl, and instead urged Zelda to continue praying at each Goddess statue to finish purifying her body.
Eventually, Link caught up with Zelda and Impa at the Temple of Time, but their reunion was cut short when Ghirahim attacked the duo. In the midst of the frenetic action, Zelda gave Link the Goddess's Harp before she and Impa escaped through the Gate of Time, with Impa destroying the gate to escape Ghirahim's grasp. Link managed to activate a second Gate of Time and met with Zelda, who explained her true nature as the mortal reincarnation of the Goddess Hylia before telling Link that she, as Hylia reborn, must remain in a deep sleep to keep Demise imprisoned within his seal. Before doing so, Zelda explained that the Goddess needed someone with an "unbreakable spirit" to defeat Demise. However, Hylia, knowing that the young hero would "throw himself headfirst into any danger, without even a moment's doubt" if it meant saving Zelda, used Link to try and bring about the destruction of Demise. She proceeded to seal herself into a crystal and sleep for thousands of years to ensure Demise's seal holds, and told the Hero of the Sky that he must find and use The Triforce to destroy Demise so that she will be able to wake up in their own time.
Although Link used The Triforce to wish for Demise's destruction, Ghirahim kidnaped Zelda upon her awakening and took her through the Gate of Time, where Demise was still sealed. Zelda's soul was absorbed and Demise is revived in his true form, but Link managed to defeat the Demon King and seal his remains in the Master Sword. After her soul was restored, Zelda and the young hero returned to their own time, where she mentioned to Link that she wanted to remain in the surface and watch over The Triforce. Zelda asked what Link's intentions are for the future, and Link smiles at her, with the camera panning to show both his and Zelda's Loftwings flying back into the sky, implying that Link chose to stay with Zelda.
