Who was the prettiest character in Twilight Princess, in your opinion?

My top three are Princess Zelda, human Midna, and Prince Ralis's mom. xD

They were GORGEOUS~!

And..Ilia is more cute than pretty. ^^;;;

And, of course boy-wise...Link owned my soul.

>_> <_< >_>

SUMO!LINK DESU. D:

I completely agree with you, those are indeed the top three most beautiful "women" in TP.

Also, I thought the Great Fairy in the Cave of Ordeals was quite pretty. ......is that a spoiler?

Yeah, I agree about Ilia. And Yeta also had such a cute face! ^^

Ah, YES, Link is freakin GORGEOUS in this game... I so cannot wait for Brawl... WOOO! :yay:

Bah, I envy you all to no extent! Every time I look, every store on my entire frickin' island is out of both the Wii and GC versions of TP... and everywhere is sold out of the Wii T_T

But, from screen shots and other related images, I'd have to agree that Zelda looks simply gorgeous in that game. I mean, I would love to wear a dress like that, and I have to be practically forced at gunpoint to wear a dress ^_^;;
I'd have to say, if I were a guy (or a lesbian), I'd be hot for Zelda :P

xDDDD Indeed, indeed! :lol:


Ingie: Ohh, yesh, the Great Fairy was pretty, too~! :D She seemed to have a youthful-looking face though, too....xD

Yeah, I thought Yeta was cute!!! Such an interesting Yeti design. xDD

She speaks cutely, too. xP

Remember the saying, "beauty is really on the inside"? I'll judge by a character's actions. ^_^

I don't really know if I can choose who would be the 'fairest of them all' but definatly two characters on the list are Midna and Zelda. Both obviously have given up alot for the sake of their kingdoms, and have done alot for one another (including Link as well)

I'll have to say, though, Midna not caring about the Light world before and treating Link like that was cold-hearted at first, but until she grew onto him and Zelda, she deserves the title as 'One of the Fairest of them All'. While entering the Palace of Twilight, she seemed to care and think about Zelda and the Light World alot, and even after that.

Zelda, even through her lack of screen time, has done alot too. Choosing to surrender to Zant rather than fighting and failing from above ALL, giving her life to Midna, aiding Link in the battle against <spoiler>Ganondorf</spoiler>, certainly deserves to be the Fairest of them all as well.

Ilia, has to be a notable mention. The fact she cares for Link like a brother is most definatly cute.

PH, I can quote your whole thing and completely agree! ^^ Yes, beauty on the inside is what counts. :D So yes... Zelda. (And there are some people that think Zelda is a total snobby brat. >_> I don't know about you peoples... but I would have to disagree with that...)

Though, if this is like that creepy mirror in Snow White... with outer beauty... I'd have to say Zelda. When I first saw her Twilight Princess design I thought, "WOW."

Midna was really pretty too, but when it boils down to it I think Zelda was the prettiest. And Yeta is an honorable mention. She was so adorable, uh!

...But OHMYGOSH LINK GORGEOUS. *drool* :ph43r: GLOMPAGE. :link: :link:

Woooyeah!!! Just finished the end of the game!!! (though where is this Cave of Ordeal that you speak of? I'd like to take a whack at it!! :D)

1. Zelda. She is friggen GORGEOUS in this game. Absolutely stunning. They added so much more detail to her costume, and she's absolutely radient!! Plus, the absolute selflessness of her actions only add to her beautiful spirit. Like what she does for Midna. Absoultely the sort of thing I expect from her. Her kindness to Link, even when he's trapped in wolf form.

2. Midna-human: Holy, was that ever a shock! She had that mysterious beauty, exotic. It was really cool to see her like that!! I squealed, lol. I must admit, I was rather annoyed by her at first, but once we got deeper into the story and I understood more, I came to adore her. She too thinks of the best for her people, even at the cost of her own happiness. . . *thinks about the ending and bursts into tears*

3. Link: Nuff said. The boy was absolutely beautiful in this game. Lovely lovely lovely!!!! *huggles him*

I hafta agree with the cute perception of Ilia *coughMalonwannabecough* She didn't have the same kind of inner beauty/ outer beauty that we see from Zelda, Midna and Link. She reminds me in some ways of Saria with her innocence, and she's very child-like. I'm trying to be nice, since I really didn't like Ilia much at all *sweatdrop*

Ah! I have found out that the Zora Queen's name is Queen Rutela. :) Like Ruto! xD

Ohhh the Fairest of them all? That's actually kind of hard to say. Zelda has a more elegant style as opposed to Midna who has a more exotic, foreign look to her. The moment I saw them both I was like "Wow, they're both so gorgeous!"

So I'll have to say that it's a tie for them.

And in second place, I'd say it's Rutela. Also, was I the only one who loved the Shaman Guy who's name escapes me at this moment.

Me neither, but in terms of her looks, I think they were purposely aiming for "cute"...I don't think she was ever supposed to be as beautiful as Zelda or Midna. She reminds me of Saria lookswise...I totally agree on the innocence, that unspoiled look she exemplified. All in all, she fit in perfectly with the look of Ordon. I would almost call her Saria 2.0, with Malon likely coming out looking more like Hena, but with red hair.

As for the prettiest?

1) Zelda for sure. But I think what made her truly beautiful was her radiant and compassionate spirit from within...she personified the light as much as Midna did the dark. In terms of appearance, the terms elegant, ethereal and graceful also come to mind.

2) Midna, but more in an exotic way than anything. I think she's got the classic beauty features, but what really stands out about her is her unusual looks: as much as Zelda's appearance seems to echo light, Midna echoes darkness...twilight.

3) I have to agree with these people...Link was gorgeous. He looked "common" when compared up against Zelda's aristocratic looks...but that's likely intentional. He was still totally good looking. Overall, he strikes me as OoT Link 2.0, with Zelda being OoT Zelda 2.0 as well...similar, yet more detailed.

Hmm... well, there are many types of beauty...

Personally, my jaw dropped when I saw Queen Rutela. Usually, queens are portrayed as older and stern-looking, but Rutela... she definitely looked old enough to be Ralis' mother, but she had this... warmness that radiated from her design. Her figure was absolutely perfect- she wasn't a slender little girl. She had a shape.. that figured, motherly shape. She looked exotic, yet strong. I was just in awe when I saw her design.

I think this time around, Princess Zelda wasn't the most beautiful. She was gorgeous, yes, but Queen Rutela and Midna (true form) were more beautiful by far. Midna looked... exotic. Sensual, even. She had a fire to her... and, like Rutela, she wasn't the flimsy, stick-figured stereotype they give to princesses. She had meat on her, and it was beautiful. She was also incredibly tall, lol. But.. her eyes, among all else, are captivating.

Zelda comes third in line for me. She was lovely, but I prefer the more innocent styled Zeldas (like ALttP or OoT). I loved how graceful she was this time around, though... she was older this time, and both her design and demeanor showed it.

As far as fairest male? Link. Fair, in the terms of well... girly. I honestly found him to be far too girly for my tastes, and that makes me sad. They fixed his face in Brawl and made him hot again though, lol. I think the most attractive male was most definitely Shad. He's not a skinny nerd... he's got some muscle to him, and a vair manly facial structure. Mmm...

Well, my favorite out of them all when it comes to the most graceful is Queen Rutela. The most cutest is Illia. Not saying she's pretty, but she's cute. The most captifying in beauty is Midna in her normal form. Even Link had no words left to say! But, Zelda was... absolument enchantée! That means absolutely enchanting. She's almost always pretty in the games, but here, she was just awesome! In, my opinion, she is the best Zelda version the series has created. If anyone wants to change my mind, show me a more beautiful pic. of another zelda incarnation. I really want to see Zelda be more beautiful than she is in TP!

The fairest if them all is... Zelda. :thumbs: :yay:

Well, I say Zelda. She's beautiful on the inside and the outside. Midna had an exotic type of beauty that would stun anyone who first saw her like that. I mean, she was an imp thing and all of a sudden you see her in her natural form. Illia, was nice and cute, but not captivating or fair. To me, Zelda is the fairest of them all. :zelda:

POSITIVELY! ZELDA! ZELDA! :yay:

:zelda:

And yeah, Illia was really annoying to not give Epona back, for one thing, and she's a wee bit bratty. And I don't like bratty.

Sometimes I wonder: What does Link see in her???

Well, Link's changed from the adventure so it might be "what did Link see in her?" Well, she was the only one close to his age and he was a simple goatherd so she would've been the only one to choose from. Maybe he decided to just focuse on her good points and eventually grew to accept that he would always be with her. Until the adventure started that is...

Probably, and he didn't know the outskirts of Ordona Province very well, so he couldn't go look for a girlfriend or anything like that. Poor guy, but lucky he went to save the world.

Maybe that's a good part of the reason Ilia was so insecure about him leaving in the beginning. He'd never seen other girls before and she may have been afraid he'd meet someone else. ( I doubt she was actually afraid of Zelda taking him, but Rusl had mentioned meeting her to Link, as if it was a good thing. )

That temper though I think really spoiled what beauty she did have...she got nice and sweet later, but it was hard to forget how angry she had been.

To remark on what Zeruda said: I have to agree in that I prefer some other designs of Zelda better. When I look at her design for instance on the banner above, she almost looks "cold", reminding me of one of those power-women in business. Or of Queen Elizabeth I...totally beautiful, yet powerful. I liked how she seemed warm and vulnerable in WW or OoT.

I just finished reading the manga for Oot, and I haven't played the game, so now I know about Oot. And yeah... Your right. I don't like the Zelda that much now in TP... She might be one of the most beautiful females in TP (actually, the most beautiful...), but she is almost emotionless in the game, and there is a minor connection between Link and her... But I think that there's a reason why the makers did that:
In every game, they set up a certain number of clues to show relationships between Link/anybody. So, since there few clues about Zelink in TP (which SUCKS!!!!!!!! :blehh: ), they will either show it all in the manga, or do something else to repave the road they set up already for Zelink... Hopefully...


:link: + :zelda: = :zelink:

I totally agree with what you said about Illia. You just can't forget that she got so mad at Link. About Zelda, she shows those emotions in TP too. When Link's a wolf for the fist time and he meets her, she looks startled that you're there and sad, almost vulnerable, when she talks about how she had to surrender. At the part when she gives herself up for Midna, she's warm and kind. She shows that too when she's revived and feels sympathy for all the sufferung that Midna's endured. At the end, Zelda also shows how kind she is when talking to Midna about how the godesses ment for them to meet and that their world can't exist without the other. The banner here has pictures from SSBB and the pics in the middle look beautiful, but neither look kind. It doesn't mean that they aren't warm in the game.

Oh, I agree she was downright warm mannered with Midna in the end, but she still seemed so "business like" compared up against different versions of herself. I think the difference was really she had no unique connection to Link here. I almost saw Link as a servant compared to her...not her equal barring the one scene in the end.

I think another thing that affected this was that she truly should have been "Queen Zelda" here, the term I've seen is "matriarch" used to describe her role. She was sitting on the actual throne when Zant invaded, her father gone. In that she was very much a woman, not a girl. Her appearance reflected that. I guess I just prefer her more as the younger Princess, comparable to Link who is never quite a man either.

I completely disagree with what was said about Zelda in TP. She is a warm, caring individual, but at the same time she is a strong, independant woman. Why would anyone want a woman to be vulnerable? Just because Zelda doesn't need a guy to survive in the world doesn't make her cold. In fact, I believe that Zelda in TP represents a more modern personality that women have today. Women and men are equal, and more women should embrace the new ways that have been opened for them. One of the reasons why I like this Zelda is because she does not strike me as the type of person that has to rely on a man. She should not be portrayed as someone who cannot fend for herself. The only thing that I do agree with is the fact that Zelda is very beautiful.

Note: There were hints in the game that supported Zelda/Link

Of course there are hints, but people think that there should be more because there are two other eligible bachelorettes in TP. Since Zelda spent the least amount of time wih Link, we start to think that it's not Zelink to be the main picture in TP. I said this in my last post, and I'll say it again: Maybe there's a reasonable explanation for all this mix-up. Hopefully it's reasonable, because it's a argumentable topic. I'm almost positive that in the next game, they'll show something to us that'll either make us go "THANK GOD! I'M SO HAPPY THIS FINALLY WORKED OUT!!!", or a "LIFE SUCKS! WHY DID THEY HAVE TO DO THAT???"...

:zelda: + :link: = :zelink:

I don't think that they will explicitly state that there is something between the two, mostly because it allows different people to interperet the story in different ways. It's like you can create your own ending that will suit what you feel should occur.

What I mean by vulnerable is more, "vulnerable with Link". I like the idea of an internally strong, independant and beautiful heroine who can drop her barrier around someone who loves her dearly. I loved her for it in OoT...she was so strong as Sheik yet when she met him in the Temple of Time she was so open.
She was in TP, but the vulnerability was more with Midna than Link. She was somewhat distant.

In terms of looks, I think I have a better idea of what I meant: Zelda in this one doesn't look as compatible with Link, IMO. Brawl Link seems to be better but I thought TP Link with his facial features and such just looked so common next to her. I love the Magic Armor on him ( which is basically the guy-version of what Zelda wears ) but it took some getting used to. I like the concept of it more than the actual look on Link. Mainly because I thought Link doesn't look imposing enough to wear it properly. He also needs to be cleaned up a bit to wear it. ( a haircut for one )

Personally, I think his hair is ok, but maybe a trim on the bangs I suppose, and I think that the one thing that keeps Zelda from looking compatible from Link in the game of TP was his nose. Not pointy enough for, and it's driving me a bit insane. In the titles and mangas, he's got the perfect pointy nose. Even in the banner above is a bit pointier than in TP! I don't know why the makers did that, but I hope it changes next time.

(Is it just me, or are there less and less active members here???)

Eh... I don't think the "looks" really matter when it comes to relationships. It should be based more on whether or not the pair are compatable, which I believe they are in TP as well as the others. They are the same in certain ways but different in others, which is the best kind of relationship you can have with someone. If they were exactly the same, what would they really bring into the other's life? It would certainly get boring after a while, that's for sure.

Of course looks don't matter... I was just making a statement about how they made Link in TP, not necesserily about how Link and zelda go together about looks. Misunderstanding! i do that a lot... :whistle:

Is this topic really about the relationships in the game??? I thought it was about the fairest of them all...

I'm not arguing for Link and Zelda not to be together, merely talking about outward appearances for the sake of it. I have no doubt Link and Zelda would love each other regardless of looks.

To Hylian Princess: I like how neat and tidy he looked in Brawl. In TP, he just looked shaggy and unkept next to Zelda who has to keep a neat appearance as the representative of her land.

As for his facial features, again, he looks so common next to her. On the bright side, any talk of "Link's her brother" should die on that basis alone. I wouldn't be suprised if they are distantly related ( both Hylians with the strong genetic traits of them ) but not closely.
Their facial structure and such are too different.

Yeah. I agreed with you on most parts, and I always thought he looks that he looked much better in Brawl, but he's still good in TP.
I actually prefer that Link doesn't quite look compatible with Zelda in looks in TP , because it shows that, for one, looks aren't everything, and that they compliment each other in style and where they come from. Link comes from a care-free land where there is always fresh air, but Zelda is always kept inside in the stale air with less freedom. That may be based on their personality and life-style a bit more, but it still shows.
