Tetralyna Nohansen Zelda V (Total War)

Tetralyna "Tetra" Zelda Nohansen V is the fifth Princess of Hyrule of the Zelda dynasty, daughter of Princess Oraiya Zelda IV and King Kazakk.

Appearance
Tetralyna Zelda is a female Hylian with traces of Sheikah blood, roughly 5 feet 3 inches tall. She displays golden blonde hair, blue eyes and fair skin. She is rather short compared to her ancestors, and carries a rather youthful appearance through most her life. Tetralyna is also characterized by a scar on her left cheek, possibly caused by the resulting flames from her prophetic nightmares.

Personality
Tetralyna is remarkably boisterous and outgoing. She is often found running around Hyrule Castle and throughout the streets against her mother's wishes. This adventurous and head-first personality leads to her being rather aggressive prideful later in life, with more concern for matters other than her royal duties. Though generally kind to her friends, she often pranks them and is usually very forward with her opinions of them, even if they are considered mean or harsh.

Powers and Abilities
From a young age, Tetralyna has been suffering from prophetic nightmares that leave her burned. However, nobody else can see the flames and everyone just considers them to be a figment of her hyperactive imagination.

History


Second Golden Age
Princess Tetralyna Zelda V is born to Princess Oraiya Zelda IV and King Kazakk Nohansen in 105 AG. A rowdy and independent child, Tetralyna is considered tomboyish and is more fond of fighting and exploring rather than her royal duties.

Return of Sulkaris
In 126 AG, during a vacation at Malkariko with her mother, Princess Zelda V dreams of Hylia, Rauru, Impa, Darunia, a Zora, a Kokiri and a Darknut trapping a screaming girl into a sword. When she tells this to her mother, Princess Zelda IV assures her it's just another normal dream and tells her to stop obsessing over them. Immediately, Impa enters their room, informs them of a Gohma army marching on the town, and suspects the involvement of the Fallen Sage Sulkaris.

As the Hylian army starts getting overwhelmed by the Gohma, Princess Zelda IV orders Tetralyna to hide until Impa returns. However, Impa doesn't come; instead General Akazoo enters the room and reveals himself as a traitor. Princess Zelda IV stabs Akazoo in his cheek, but he removes the dagger along with part of his skin. He uses it to stab Oraiya herself, assuming he killed her. Afterwards, he discovers Tetralyna hiding under the table, and tries to convince her to cooperate with him. She attempts to run away from him, but finds her escape route being blocked by Azrily, who imprisons her inside the Malmord.

The traitors attempt to barter the captured Princess Zelda for a dangerous and powerful artifact in the hands of a band of Keaton criminals under Vigjaro Glade, but their plan is foiled by Kazakk and the knight Link, who brings the fight to them. During the course of the battle, Link secretly secures the Malmord and intends to bring it to his master Hylia.

During the march to Vigjaro, when juggling the Malmord Link accidentally imprisons himself inside it, much to Princess Zelda's displeasure, until a mysterious woman known as Liyer frees them by destroying the Malmord. At this point, Zelda has a vision of Hylians kneeling under the throne of Hylia and a war between the First Sages over control of the Triforce. When Carock, Link's friend in the Order of the Wizzrobe shows up, she warns him that Carock is bringing with him an army to kill the Hylians - a prediction which ends up correct.

During the ensuing battle, Carock ambushes Link and Zelda and prepare to imprison in a block of ice, though Kazakk comes to their aid and injures Carock, forcing him and the rest of the Wizzrobes to retreat.

After the battle, Zelda explains to Link her prophetic powers: ever since she was a child I would dream of events, and every time she dreams flames would appear, but no one believed her until Link. Not knowing what to do, Link decides to bring Zelda to Vigjaro and see what Hylia would do. Zelda dissuades him by saying that Hylia is not who she says she is and that they should get away from her, but Link expresses his doubt since the False Goddess has practically raised him as a mother since the end of the Gerudo Wars.

Unique Bonuses (Kingdom of Hyrule)
Princess Zelda offers several avenues of playstyle to the Hylian forces. She focuses on ranged units, buffing all archers with her Royal Bows tech and her Eyes of the Prophet Ability. Units in formation with her also regenerate health, increasing their survivability during breaks between fights. Her Unique Unit is the mighty Light Arrow Archer. This unit is a powerful combination of a Mage and an Archer, dealing tremendous damage to units with no Magic protection and countering any Shadow units. Choose Princess Zelda as your Hero if you want an army with Strong Archers and minor healing.

Unique Abilities (Kingdom of Hyrule)
Princess Zelda as a Hero begins as a fast attack melee unit, though as she gains levels and power she shifts into a magical ranged attacker. She has rather low armor values for a Hero unit, relying more on her Nimble Footing to survive blows from melee attacks. It is recommended to keep a close eye on her at lower levels and not send her out on her own. Despite her low armor values, she herself deals excellent Pierce Damage and even has the Armor Piercing bonus, meaning she can deal full damage to units much more durable than she is. When she gains the ability to wield Light Arrows she serves you far better as a ranged unit that you can keep behind the battle lines and safe from damage.

Battle Queen Tetra
An alternative costume for Princess Zelda V, the Battle Queen outfit, is available exclusively for UndyingNephalim's Patreon supporters who pledge at least $3 per month. This costume is based on Queen Zelda's outfit in Hyrule Warriors. It will come with a unique bodyguard and a Hyrule Historia mission set in an alternate timeline.
