History


First Golden Age
Oraiya Zelda is born to Princess Zelda III and the Sheikah wizard Agahnim. Though she had Sheikah blood Oraiya's eyes remains blue, possibly through magical intervention from Agahnim. Oraiya grows up rather sheltered and notably antisocial compared to her predecessors.

The Gerudo Wars
Princess Zelda IV is forced to hide within Hyrule Castle when Gerudo forces under the command of Ganondorf attack the city. She remains hidden even after her mother is killed and Ganondorf has conquered Hyrule Prime. Eventually Impa arrives with an army of Sheikah and she is discovered. When Oraiya learns that Impa plans to kill Agahnim, Zelda reveals that Agahnim is her own father and she still retains memories of him. Impa then convinces Oraiya that she has to distract her father so that he could be arrested and put on trial for his crimes. Agahnim, now an Avatar of Majora, is lured into Hyrule Castle by Sheikah forces where Oraiya confronts him and explains that she still had memories him as a good father. Heartbroken, Agahnim breaks down and embraces his daughter, apologizing to her and asking for forgiveness just before Impa impales him.

With Agahnim dead and Ganondorf's forces in retreat, Oraiya is swiftly kidnapped by Vaati and taken as a hostage to the Darknut Cathedral of Ontheon. There she remains trapped until a Hylian army lead by General Kazakk and Rauru rescues her.

Second Golden Age
Because of her Sheikah blood, Oraiya Zelda IV ages slower than most Hylians. Despite her youthful appearance she is instated on the throne after the Gerudo Wars resolved. Impa spends time in secret to train the Princess in various Sheikah arts, as well as serving as an advisor to the throne. Eventually Oraiya marries General Kazakk in 141 AG, giving birth to their daughter Tetralyna Zelda V a year later.

The Return of Sulkaris
Oraiya remains on the throne for an extended period of time due to her long life. In 160 AG, Lord Akazoo unleashes a swarm of Gohma upon Hyrule Castle and confronts Oraiya in the throne room. Remaining calm, Oraiya attempts to dissuade Akazoo from his takeover, though his jealousy and anger over being denied marriage to her blinds him to reason. General Akazoo then stabs Princess Zelda IV, believing that he has killed her.

Oraiya Zelda goes into hiding to recover and dons a disguise as a Sheikah to aid her daughter and later Link in retaking the Kingdom from Akazoo and the Gohma. She aids the Hylian army in assaulting the Gohma Grand Hive, locating Saria and rescuing Link from the Oocca leader Demoko.

Manifest Destiny
Now living by the alias Sheik, Oraiya watches over her daughter as she takes the throne. When Labrynna begins an invasion against Ordona Province and the Kingdom of Hyrule, she quickly approaches her daughter and aids in leading a counterattack against Queen Ambi. During the assault on the Black Tower Sheik is mortally wounded in battle by Veran. There she reveals her identity to Link, and makes him promise not to expose it to her daughter. With her dying breath she gives Link a key to her personal vault to pass on to her daughter.
