“What is it like to be a princess of a kingdom blessed so many happy endings?” and “Can you even comprehend how lucky you are?” Sure this helps us see why she is much more cold and weary compared to her Hyrule counterpart, but the dialogue just seemed like jealous or disdainful shots taken at Zelda herself. It’s the little questions she asks here and there. How does she know Yuga, what is the meaning of the breaking inverted Triforce in the cutscene after Ganon’s resurrection, and what is it about Lorule that she is clearly holding back? The periodic scenes with her speaking to Zelda’s painting don’t help us trust her must either. This does not get explained for a long time, but it puts many players on edge about Hilda. This, along with his “Her Grace” comment he let slip before offer a hidden connection between him and Hilda. Oddly, Hilda’s dress and her office itself both display an inverted Triforce emblem, matching one that Yuga himself wears. After Yuga finally prepares his alter and releases the demon king he seems ready to take Link out, and yet our hero is saved by the Hilda, the apparent owner of the royal office Link entered this new world from, and according to her, the Princess of the land of Lorule (The girl finally saves the hero. You soon end up slipping through a crack in the wall of Zelda’s Office, and come out in what appears to be a mirror image of not just the office, but the whole world. Yuga seemed like the main antagonist the whole time, collecting paintings and getting ready to free Ganon, but after seeing him face-to-face with Zelda in Hyrule Castle, he mentions “Her Grace”, referring to someone that holds authority over him, which is odd to hear coming from Yuga. Hilda was subtly foreshadowed in the first chunk of A Link Between Worlds. My name is Princess Hilda,Īnd I have failed you in every way.” – Princess Hilda Join me as I take a look at the ins and outs of one of the most well-designed and under-appreciated characters in the series: Princess Hilda. Not only did the real villain not reveal herself until the end, but she proved to be a truly relatable and tragic figure that we were sad to have to fight. Ganondorf, Vaati, and all the one-off baddies are people we were happy to do away with, but then, A Link Between Worlds came along, and did something new. Tragic characters are not something we see much of in the Zelda series, especially not among the series’ villains.
