Princess Zelda (all eras) — TEARS OF THE KINGDOM ZELDA

The look

Tears of the Kingdom gives Zelda a noticeably different appearance from Breath of the Wild. Her hair is shorter and her clothing is more historically inspired, with white, green, and gold elements, decorative fabrics, jewelry, and a much more archaeological/royal aesthetic. Nintendo describes her as the princess of Hyrule who becomes caught up in the Upheaval.
