Hyrule Warriors Guide Warriors
Zelda
Graceful, elegant, refined and skilled: These are Zelda’s traits on the battlefield. She can alternate between the precise and elegant Rapier and the flowing, graceful Wind Waker as her weapons. Don’t be fooled by her refinement, however, she’s easily one of the deadliest Warriors in the game. She can power up her Rapier to extend any of her combos with incredibly powerful Light element attacks that sweep the area of large numbers of enemies. She is also very agile and swift, which makes her hard to hit and harder to stop.
How to Unlock
Zelda will become available after completing Scenario 11, “The Sacred Sword,” in Legend Mode.
Zelda’s Weapons
Rapier
A movement-heavy weapon similar to Impa’s Naginata and Lana’s Spear. The key difference between this weapon and the others is its ability to create and store charges of light. By pressing 
(
in Zelda Style), Zelda’s Rapier will fill with three light charges (your current number of charges can be found below the Special Meter), which extend your Combo Attacks by up to two attacks, depending on which Combo Attack you used. Every additional attack you use depletes a light charge, so you’ll have to pay attention to how many you have if you want to keep extending your Combo Attacks. It should be noted that pressing 
(
in Zelda Style) isn’t the only way to refill your light charges; you can also perform a full Regular Attack combo to refill a single charge.
Polished Rapier
This is Zelda’s starting weapon.
Glittering Rapier
You can find this weapon in the Sealed Weapon in Scenario 11, “The Sacred Sword,” in Legend Mode.
Gleaming Rapier
You can find this weapon in Scenario A-9 in Adventure Mode. You must first use an Item Card in the Search Screen to locate it, and then get an A-Rank to unlock the weapon.
Baton
This weapon is the bane of all enemy soldiers everywhere. The Baton is a conducting wand that Zelda can use to tear apart an area with the power of wind and lightning, like some sort of mad maestro; a crazy conductor; a calamitous composer; a malicious musician; a pernicious prof—oh! Sorry about that. We get a little carried away when it comes to this weapon. Zelda isn’t particularly mobile with this weapon and its speed is a bit on the slow side, but when it gets going, it takes everything on the battlefield with it! If you press 
(
in Zelda Style) while using this weapon, you’ll be given the ability to control your very own tornado, which you can use to pick up enemies. The tornado continuously grows as you pick up more and more enemies, making it that much more terrifying to everyone who isn’t currently calling themselves Zelda’s friends.
Wind Waker
