Zelda is a playable character in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. [If relevant: [Name] can also be faced in combat as an enemy. Please see [enemy page] for more information.]
In-game description: Burgeoning Scholar, Princess. The princess of Hyrule, in whose veins flows the blood of the goddess. She is devoted to researching ancient technology and awakening her sacred power.
Recruited during mission or challenge: Road to the Ancient Lab
Level when recruited: 3
Weapon when recruited: Ancient Memory Part with attack 5
Dash attack: When a run is interrupted with Y, Zelda generates a phantom Magnesis box and swings it around her in a semicircle to her right.
Aerial regular attack: When Y is pressed repeatedly while Zelda is in the air, she fires Cryonis spikes (similar to the ones generated from her Cryonis rune use) that instantly explode.
Slam-down attack: When X is pressed while Zelda is in the air, she generates a giant round Remote Bomb and drops it onto enemies in front of her, where it automatically explodes.
Weak-point smash move: Zelda uses all four combat runes in a row, finishing up by swinging a Magnesis attack in a complete circle.
Unique ability (ZR aka right trigger): Zelda detonates any placed Sheikah runes.
Special attack (A button): Zelda uses the Camera rune to take a group photograph of all enemies in front of her, dealing massive damage.
Additional special ability gauges can be unlocked to a maximum of 3. The second special gauge is unlocked through [add quest link] and the third is unlocked through [add quest link].
Cryonis: Zelda generates a series of ice spikes, aiming with the left analog stick and firing each one downwards by pressing X. The ice spikes can be detonated with ZR.
Magnesis: Zelda picks up a metal object and carries it over her head with Magnesis. When ZR is pressed, Zelda flings the metal object forward with great force, damaging enemies along a straight path in the direction she is facing. If ZR is not pressed, the metal object will eventually explode or despawn.
Remote bombs: Zelda generates a large remote-bomb device which automatically tosses out smaller remote bombs around it. It can be steered with the left analog stick, and Zelda herself is invulnerable while steering the device. After a certain time, the device despawns. The player may also choose to stop controlling it with B before it despawns, then detonate it with ZR. If the player detonates the device with ZR, all the bombs along the path of the device also explode at once, effectively allowing Zelda to lay a row of mines through an enemy group.
