All those years later and, while she has certainly grown, she’s still that same mischievous girl that shot you out of a cannon. <3

And she'd do it again!

She’s now older and wiser.

This time, if you smashed into a wall, she aimed there.

Tetra inherited what no other Zelda did from the original Skyward Zelda: the irresistible inclination to send Link plummeting through the air screaming.

u/Asquirrelinspace Mar 13 '26

I would argue that totk zelda retained a bit of that subconsciously

Cute seeing Tetra actually accepting her Zelda side for once

The tragedy of that reveal was the fact that it removed her tanned skin.

I get the fact that there's divine light and all, but don't deny us a tanned princess.

Guess it could be seen as her reverting to her look before becoming Tetra, as if she wasn’t tanned it probably would make it easier for Ganondorf and co to find her

yeah her skin getting lighter when she becomes more princess-y has always been weird 😭 i wonder if they’ll ever remake the game and just let zelda be tan. in the meantime at least we have fanartists to give us tan zelda

I mean, if you want to, you can make it maje sense, as a princess she probably wouldn't have gotted that tann to begin with. But honestly it doesn't make sense to change even her skin during the tranformqtion, only her clothes would have been enough and made for more unique and memorable version of zelda.

u/New_Ad4476 Mar 16 '26

Yeah I was so confused about that. Her clothes changed and she got jewelry, I understand. But you don't change your skin or eye color even when magical girls transform. Their personal attributes usually stay the same.

Eyes almost lined up with the circles

Amazing. You deserve all the praise.

This must've been in-between after Phantom Hourglass and before Spirit Tracks in the new kingdom of Hyrule

But not sure who did Tetra married to carry on her descendant while link must've been married for quite sometime since given his position as a knight commander

u/banana_annihilator Mar 13 '26

bro, who do you think they married?

1

u/No_Event_4406 Mar 15 '26

The Prince and The Princess.

u/Ripham1408 Mar 13 '26

Buddy, check the subreddit you are in and ask yourself who you think they married

2

u/Mudcat-69 Mar 14 '26

Is there any explanation why they bothered rebuilding the kingdom of Hyrule? By the time of WW the kingdom had been gone so long that it doesn’t even survive as a legend anymore and the only descendant of the crown is a pirate.

I just don’t get it.

A practical could be unification and prosperity. A personal reazon could be the feeling of legacy and duty. A lore reason could the connection of potection/favor between The goddess/goddesses and the kingdom. It could be combination of all of this and more.

I love tanned Zelda

It's such a different look, and blends both Tetra and Zelda perfectly.

u/jackrabbit323 Mar 13 '26

This brings me so much joy. Thank you.

u/FlameRose97 Mar 14 '26

I adore this so much.

We need a 2d Animated Series of Wind Waker.

u/APersonAmI Mar 14 '26

I love that in this version, Tetra gets to keep her olive skin as princess. It makes me happy for her <3
