here is a gallery of the different incarnations of Hyrule’s Princess, Princess Zelda. From her early days on the NES in the 80’s to her current 2010’s look on the Wii U, 3DS & Switch.

2018 UPDATE: Now updated with versions of Princess Zelda from A Link Between Worlds, Hyrule Warriors & Breath of the Wild. (Excluding Zelda's Winter Gear from the ballad of the Champions DLC) Stay Tuned for updated versions of Link & Ganon throughout the ages too.

Name:The Damsel in Distress
Appearance: The Legend of Zelda ( NES)

The first appearance of Hyrule’s Princess. She was the guardian of the Triforces of Wisdom & Power, triangles that grant whoever possesses both their ultimate desire. (Not to be confused with Dairylea triangles which don’t grant wishes.)
When the Dark lord Ganon attacked, Zelda split the Triforce of Wisdom into 8 fragments and sent them in different directions in Hyrule. Ganon then stole both The Triforce of Power and Zelda who was held prisoner in Turtle Rock.
Zelda, who was stuck behind a wall of fire got bored until she got rescued by Link. She didn’t expect however to be rescued by a Elf who appears to be a bit short.

Name: The Sleeping Beauty.
Appearance: Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. (NES)

A princess who was cursed to eternal slumber by an evil wizard. The only way to wake her was for Link to find the Triforce of Courage and put stones in 6 palaces. However Link didn’t think to kiss Zelda waking her up as he fears Cooties.

Name: The Warrior Princess.
Appearance: The Cartoon series, Captain N.

A princess who is brave and takes matters in her own hands when Hyrule is invaded by Ganon. She is also bossy and orders Link about and makes sure the kingdom is running well. She is also very skilled with the bow & arrow and if Link misbehaves with sexist remarks she will not hesitate to shoot a light arrow in his butt (or worse).

Name: The Dream Invader.
Appearance: A Link to the Past (SNES)

A princess who is a descendant of one of the mystical maidens who imprisioned Ganon years ago. When Hyrule is taken over by the wizard Agahnim, Zelda was held prisioner and tried to contact link by Telepathy. She didn’t expect however that Link would be thinking of two Zeldas…and other things most people would dream of.

Name: The Psycho Killer.
Appearance: Faces of Evil & Wand of Gamelon (CD-I)

Possibly the worst princess Hyrule was ever ruled by. She was kidnapped by Ganon but upon rescue she denied she was rescued because she secretly hates Link.
When her father & Link disappeared for months in Gamelon, she had no choice but to go there herself, murdering people, dodging lawyers and beating up Ganon with a wand.
After their return, Zelda then poisoned her father’s dinner and took the crown. She made Hyrule a superpower and invaded the Mushroom kingdom.

Name: The forgotten one.
Appearance: Zelda’s adventure. (CD-I)

The most obscure version of princess Zelda. She was hired by some old dude to rescue Link and obtain the celestial signs because Link went out drinking one night, forgot his sword and got captured by Ganon.
After saving Tolemac by beating up Ganon with the ugly stick. She was never remembered again and faded into obscurity. She’s usually on Hyrules street corners these days selling her body and turning tricks.

Name: The Nosey Princess.
Appearance: Ocarina of Time (N64/3DS)

As a child, Princess Zelda had a habit of staring through people’s windows. The people of Hyrule feared for their privacy in case a princess is staring through the window. She was mostly spying on Ganondorf and people through bathroom windows. (Better check your windows just in case.) She is also the keeper of the Ocarina of Time which she threw into the moat when fleeing Hyrule Castle. Good thing she didn’t have a Piano of Time.

Name: The Sage of Time.
Appearance: Ocarina of Time (N64/3DS) Smash Bros Melee. (Gamecube)

Princess Zelda grown up after 7 years. Can open doors and gates but cannot pick up swords and throw then over fire. However she did Imprison Ganon and sent back Link to his own time. Realised that Link didn’t clean the Ocarina of Time after he used it.

Name: The Ninja.
Appearance: Ocarina of Time (N64/3DS) Smash Bros Melee. (Gamecube) Smash Bros Brawl. (Wii)

After being sent into hiding, Zelda gets trained in the ways of the Sheikah by her nursemaid Impa. (like a female ninja master.) She disguised herself as a boy and called herself Sheik. Sheik proceeded to keep an eye on Link and teach him songs by harp that helps him warp all over Hyrule. Sheik can also disappear by throwing Deku nuts and running away very fast as smoke grenades are hard to afford.
Sheik is trained in the deadly arts of the “Wax on, Wax off” technique and the “You’re already a Redead” technique.

Name: The Oracle Chick.
Appearance: The Oracle games. (Linked version)
(Game Boy Color)

This version of Princess Zelda usually visits Holodrum & Labrynna and gets kidnapped as a part of Ganon’s Resurrection. When Link foils the plan and defeats a badly-resurrected Ganon. Zelda proceeds to Kiss Link..much to the jealousy of the Maku Tree who has the hots for Link. (BOTH VERSIONS!)

Name: The Pirate.
Appearance: The Wind Waker. (Gamecube) Phantom Hourglass (DS) Navi Trackers (Japanese only.)

After Hyrule gets put underwater, the royal line of Hyrule was in decay save for a Pirate Girl named Tetra, unaware that she is the latest incarnation of Princess Zelda.
Tetra and her crew agree to help take Link to the Forsaken Fortress where his Sister is held prisoner and throwing him in by catapult. When not raiding towns, pillaging, and illegally downloading songs off the internet, Tetra likes to relax listening to Alestorm.

When She and Link meet the the King of Red Lions in the underwater version of Hyrule Castle she is transformed into….

Name: The Toony Princess.
Appearance: The Wind Waker (Gamecube), Minish Cap (GBA) Spirit Tracks (DS).

After no longer looking like a cool pirate and have to do princess things instead of pirate things, Zelda is made to stay in Hyrule Castle Basement to hide from Ganondorf..which fails.
Unlike OOT Zelda, WW Zelda is able to pick up the Master Sword when it got out of Link’s hand and shoots Light arrows in Ganon’s face as he has an allergy to light arrows.
She was made to revert to being a pirate again and agrees to help Link discover America.. I mean a new Hyrule.

Name: The Four Swords Chick.
Appearance: Four Swords (GBA) Four Swords Adventures (Gamecube)

A princess who gets kidnapped by the wizard Vaati. She is pretty much fed up of her line getting kidnapped all the time. And now she has 4 Link’s trying to win her over. Then again a fivesome might not be so bad.

Name: The Badass.
Appearance: Twilight Princess (Wii/Gamecube) Smash Bros Brawl (Wii)

Possibly the Fantasy equivalent of Princess Leia. Zelda tries to defend her kingdom to the end when it is invaded by the Twilight king Zant..who may or may not sparkle shrouding the lands in darkness.
She is helped by a wolf who turns into an elf and a twilight girl named Midna.
She also gets possessed by Ganondorf violating her but she gets her own back by shooting a light arrow in his butt.

Name: The Dead Girl.
Appearance: Spirit Tracks.(DS)

WW Zelda’s Granddaughter. Not knowing that her Chancellor is an evil jerk with two hats, Zelda was part of his plot to resurrect the demon Malladus. With the help of Link, a train driver in training, they try to confront the evil Chancellor only to have her body stolen leaving her spirit behind. Ghost Zelda doesn’t want to be ghostbusted so she tries to get Link to get her body back of She will haunt him forever, and stare through his windows.
She proceeds to assist Link restore the Spirit Tracks and get her body back with the help of a Train and an old lady version of Professor X. At least Zelda can ride the train without paying for a ticket.

Name: The Female Alphonse.
Appearance: Spirit Tracks. (DS)

(Named after Alphonse Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist who is also a Animated Suit of Armour.)

In ghost form, Zelda is able to possess Phantom Knights so she can become an animated suit of armour to kick ass and protect Link. However she is not allowed to hug Link as last time she did that she broke his spine. Hates mice as they might run up her armoured leg.

Name: The Headmaster's Daughter
Appearance: Skyward Sword (Wii)

Before they was a monarchy, before there was even a Hyrule, Zelda was the daughter of Gaepora, headmaster of Skylofts Academy of Bird-riding Knights. She has a Blue Loftwing named Binky and is a pro at Harp Hero. She plays the role of the Goddess at Skyloft's graduation ceremony and is best friends with Link who she likes to push off things..provided she gives him the Sailcloth she made for him for winning the tournament first. After flying with Link she gets knocked off her Loftwing and fell towards the world below..where she realises that she isn't in Kansas..er Skyloft anymore.

Name: The Goddess Reborn
Apearance: Skyward Sword (Wii)

After arriving in this strange world below, Zelda was sent on a mission to pray at some temples to purify herself and become the Messiah of the Surface. She is assisted by this cool ninja chick named Impa. She gets constantly hounded by a fruity man named Ghirahim who may or may not be related to David Bowie. After an attack on the Old Temple of Time, she lobs a harp at Link and tells him to meet her in the past. After Link & Zelda are reunited a million years in the past, she reveals that she is the reincarnation of the Goddess Hylia and she must cyrogenically freeze herself till Link finds the Triforce and defeats Demise, the Surface's version of Satan. So then Zelda sleeps in a crystal like a Mosquito in Amber for thousands of years hoping no-one goes and clones her DNA and create a Zelda theme park. After Link has to defeat Demise in the Past & Present as well as Ghirahim, by ripping off He-Man, Zelda decides to stay on the Surface with Link and rule over the land known as Grooseland (It was renamed Hyrule after Groose died.)

Name: The Twins
Appearance: A Link Between Worlds (3DS)

Set many years after the events of A Link to the Past. Zelda notices that various people have been turned into paintings, including her captain and asks for Link, a blacksmith's apprentice for help. She then gets turned into a painting herself by painter-turned clown Yuga and gets transported along with the sages to Lorule, a bizarro dimension of Hyrule that kinda resembles the Dark World from ALTTP. Lorule was ruled by Hilda (a Bizarro version of Zelda) who was usurped by Yuga in a attempt to bring back Ganon.
After Link defeated Yuga & Ganon ( who did the fusion thing from DBZ to create Yuganon). It was revealed that Hilda was the true mastermind behind Yuga & Ganon in order to obtain Hyrule's Triforce as she accidentally destroyed Lorule's Triforce when it fell off the mantlepiece whilst cleaning. And she would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for those meddling kids. But Ravio ( Bizarro Link) made her see the errors of her ways and use Hyrule's Triforce to resurrect Lorule's one. With everything well again Zelda & Link went back to Hyrule where she promptly threw out every painting in the castle in case one of them takes her to yet another Dimension.

Name: The General
Apperance: Hyrule Warriors (Wii U/3DS/Switch)

One of the most Fierce & Mightiest Princesses in Hyrule's History. Zelda had a nightmare of a great evil enveloping the kingdom ( as you do). She and Impa saw a knight in training and knew he is the one that will save them all (as he's the only trainee knight without a helmet). In her war against the threat lead by a Witch with huge tits, a dragon man and a wizzrobe with a huge eye, she has rallied many great heroes from Hyrule's history to her banner including a bug collector, a girl with a book, a 35 year old man in green Pajamas and a Link Fangirl. Groose offered his services to her cause but she replied saying that they were fully staffed and will inform him when a vacancy is available. She never bothered to read his C.V either.

Name: The Last Princess
Appearance: Breath of the Wild (Wii U/Switch)

It is unkown where in the timeline this game is set but it is set in a unknown future where Zelda rules Hyrule (Now as big as Tamriel from the Elder Scrolls games) under her father, King Rhoam Bosphoramus Phosphorus 'Miggidy Mack Daddy' Hyrule. Zelda took an interest in the ancient technology of the Shiekah who founded electricity, powered huge megazords called 'The Divine Beasts', walking tentacle things called Guardians and they invented the ipad. This annoyed the King who saw that her daughter was ignoring her princess duties earning the name 'The Stain of Hyrule' which is exactly what a loving Dad would call their Daughter. He wanted her to awaken her powers as it was prosphesied that the demonic entity known as 'Calamity Ganon' will return by her 16th birthday and she needs to get her arse in gear. Resisting the urge to shoot her Dad on the toilet with a crossbow (she kinda has Daddy issues) Zelda decided to utilize the Guardian tech somehow and put together a team representing the main races of Hyrule. Travelling over the kingdom she has created The Champions of Hyrule, soldiers of fortune where four of them are given the cool Megazord Divine Beasts and the fifth is given the Master Sword and the job of sealing the darkness away.
Unknown to her and her champions, She and her Father are doomed to be the last rulers of a destroyed kingdom...

Name: The Researcher
Appearance: Breath of the Wild (Wii U/Switch)

Trying to undertand and use the lost technology of the Sheikah and to be prepared for Calamity Ganon's invasion, Zelda travelled over Hyrule with her bodyguard Link, the son of the captain of the Royal Guard and was entusted with the Master Sword. Zelda didn't get along with him at first, at one point having a go at him when she failed to open an ancient Sheikah shrine. Although Link doesn't talk much due to him being shy or something, he stood by her side saving her from an army of beasts on Death Mountain, Yiga raiders in the desert and also was used for Zelda's experiments including licking/swallowing frogs (as long as it's not anywhere else). She also likes to wear really tight pants that makes Link very sexually frustrated and he often has to go into a cave to “relieve" tension

Name: The Priestess
Appearance: Breath of the Wild (Wii U/Switch)

With the time of Calamity Ganon's return coming even closer, Zelda had to awaken her Divine powers to seal the demonic entity away. So she travelled to the main shrines of Hyrule to pray to the Goddess Hylia ( its uncertain if Din, Farore or Nayru are still worshipped) for her help...and nothing happened.
After praying at the last shrine it was too late. Calamity Ganon arrived but in a surprise attack emerging from Hyrule Castle. The Champions went to their Divine Beasts but Ganon has been busy, learning hacking skills off the internet and managed to take over ALL Guardian tech turning them against Hyrule. The Champions were slaughtered by Ganon's Blight Avatars and Link & Zelda made their last stand whilst Hyrule burns. Link was mortally wounded but then Zelda protected him from her awakened powers. Zelda then placed him in a magic bathtub that will put him in suspended animation for a century whilst she goes and prevents Ganon from escaping Hyrule Castle. She's a bit annoyed by this as she has to hold back Ganon for over a century whilst Link gets a nice sleep during that period as he heals and then she has to wake him up at the right time. Hopefully he goes straight to the castle and not get distracted by anything.
