The Legend of Zelda franchise is one of the biggest in the industry, with some of the most undoubtedly hardcore fan-bases around. The franchises namesake is the Princess Zelda, who is often confused with the hero and protagonist Link. Zelda is a member of the royal family of Hyrule and in almost all of the video games she sends Link on some sort of quest to stop the villainous Ganondorf. Possessing keen insight as well as good judgement, Princess Zelda often does some heroics of her own!
In The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess the evil Ganondorf possesses Princess Zelda and forces her to fight against Link when they meet at Hyrule Castle. Once she becomes Ganon’s puppet she is a near unstoppable force, but as a true hero of Hyrule Link is able to stop her without causing too much harm.
