"I doubt Rauru and Impa would imprison an innocent girl, your dreams are playing tricks on you. You need to stop obsessing over your dreams."

—Oraiya to her daughter.

Oraiya Nohansen "Zellie" Zelda IV is the fourth Princess of the Zelda Dynasty, wife of Daphnes Kazakk, and mother of Tetralyna Nohansen Zelda V.

Physical Appearance 

Oraiya is a female Hylian of ancient blood, roughly 6 feet 1 inch tall. She displays very long light blonde hair, red eyes and fair skin. Due to being born with red Sheikah eyes, she was magically altered by her father Agahnim to appear to have blue eyes throughout her reign. She is incredibly athletic, possible due to her Sheikah heritage. As she ages more slowly due to her Sheikah bloodline, she retains the physical appearance of a child into her mid-teens, and has the appearance of a young woman in her prime at the age of 40.

History

Second Golden Age

Oraiya 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.

When Marhala Nohansen Zelda III ascends to the throne, Agahnim's Sheikah heritage is discovered and he is labelled a traitor for violating the Sheikah blood pact. He is forced to use the Eye of Truth to destroy all knowledge of his marriage to Marhala - only Marhala and Oraiya retain memories of him as their husband and father.

The Gerudo Wars

When Gerudo forces under the command of Ganondorf attack Gundrumether, Marhala orders Impa to evacuate her daughter alongside the civilians to the safety at Vigjaro. After Ganondorf kills her mother and conquers the capital, he is immediately forced to retreat and let Agahnim and the Darknut Legion occupy it, then goes on to conquer town after town, under the guidance of Agahnim.

During her exile, Oraiya devises a plan to kill Agahnim and liberate the Kingdom of Hyrule. When she tells this to Rauru, he is horrified, saying he doesn't want her to have to put herself at risk or become a killer. Oraiya assures him she doesn't want to kill her father but finds his death necessary to stop Ganondorf, at which point Rauru only says he couldn't stop the Princess but he won't aid her either.

While Agahnim, along with Vaati and Onan, is watching Impa (who has allowed herself to be captured) fighting gladiator games, Oraiya comes to offer him a proposal to spare both the Gerudo and Darknuts should they leave her kingdom immediately. Agahnim tells her that the war was to repair the damage the Sheikah did to their family, but Oraiya begs him to stop, telling him that he was directly responsible for Mahrala's death. When Agahnim decides that he must see the war through to the end, Oraiya proclaims that she no longer recognises her father, before Impa, Kazakk, Akazoo, the Sheikah and the Hylian garrison openly rebel against him.

Agahnim makes his last stand in front of Hyrule Castle, killing any Sheikah who dare approach him, even managing to incapacitate Impa herself. As Agahnim prepares for the kill, Oraiya calls him 'Father', causing him to abandon Impa and run towards his daughter instead, giving Impa enough time to recover and stab him in the heart. Agahnim spends his last moments embracing his daughter before falling into Termina.

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

Princess Zelda IV stabbed by Akazoo

Despite her youthful appearance, a 19-year-old Oraiya assumes the throne after the Gerudo Wars are resolved, being briefly wed to Akazoo Vapith, one of the Gerudo Wars' heroes. 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 annuls her wedding with Akazoo and marries General Kazakk in 105 AG, giving birth to their daughter Tetralyna Nohansen Zelda V a year later.

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

Return of Sulkaris

In 126 AG, Oraiya and her daughter go on a vacation in Malkariko only to find it under attack by the Gohma, behind whom Impa suspects the involvement of Sulkaris herself. As the Hylian army starts getting overwhelmed by the Gohma, Oraiya orders Tetralyna to hide until Impa returns. However, the person that comes is not Impa, but General Akazoo. Oraiya asks Akazoo on how the Hylian army is doing, but he does not answer and instead reveals himself as a traitor, telling her how much he hated her and her husband Kazakk. Zelda IV, reacting in self-defense when he tries to touch her, stabs Akazoo in the cheek with a Sheikah Kunai. Much to her horror, Akazoo survives and removes the dagger along with part of his face, and uses it to stab Oraiya herself, killing her.
