Zelda...wait, what?
Surprisingly, the series' often elusive namesake is Link's partner this time around. Having lost her mortal coil, Zelda is left in a ghostly form that only Link and a select other few can see. She and Link work together over the course of the story to regain her body and defeat Malladus. She often would take theform of a Phantom Knight to aid Link when they were in the Tower of Spirits, fighting with him, and aiding him in puzzle-solving. As a result of being so involved with Link, this Zelda is perhaps the most personal version in the whole series.
Zelda, unlike most sidekicks, did not offer much aid to Link through his journey. She would remind him of what he should do and point out things every once in awhile, but she was generally as knowledgeable as Link was about the world. But more than any other sidekick, she aided Link in battle in many sections of gameplay, often tag-teaming to defeat a foe or a boss.
