List of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom characters

Summary

Nintendo's action-adventure game The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a game in The Legend of Zelda series, originally released in 2017 for the Wii U and Nintendo Switch. Following a century of stasis in the Shrine of Resurrection, an amnesiac Link awakens to the kingdom of Hyrule ravaged by Calamity Ganon. He sets out to free the spirits of the Champions, the riders of four enormous animalistic machines known as Divine Beasts, rescue Princess Zelda, and save Hyrule by defeating Calamity Ganon. The game's sequel, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, released in 2023 exclusively for the Nintendo Switch, takes place a few years after the defeat of Calamity Ganon and expands on its predecessor's map and cast of characters. In this game, Link works to defeat the newly revived Ganondorf and save Hyrule again, while Zelda is time-displaced and must figure out a way back to her time.
