From iconic heroes and valiant allies to powerful villains, the Legend of Zelda series has had some of the coolest and most interesting characters of any game series. Though some of the characters changed over time, the characteristics they carry across different titles in the series are what make them memorable.
With such distinctive characteristics, these characters are ideal for comparing to the astrological signs and seeing how well they fit in. These 12 Legend of Zelda characters are perfectly suited for the typical traits associated with the signs of the zodiac.
Aries - Midna
The ion associated with the Aries sign can often manifest in a fiery temper, which is partially the case for the Twili from Twilight Princess who is possibly the sassiest of any of Link's companions. Midna shows the desire for independence and commitment that is typical of the Aries astrological sign and she is sometimes honest to the point of insensitivity.
However, even from their first interaction, Midna shows how capable of an ally she can be and why people in the Aries sign are often deeply valued as friends despite their independent, trailblazer instincts. Midna's energetic nature also makes her fun to be around, which is just as important.
Taurus - Darunia
Darunia may be skeptical of those he doesn't yet know well, but that is because of how important the values of honesty and commitment are to the leader of the Gorons. These are also traits that are fundamental to the Taurus sign, and go a long way to explaining why they tend to make good leaders.
Like Daruk in Breath of the Wild, Darunia demonstrates the loyalty and courage that mark out the Gorons at their finest. People of the Taurus sign may be hardworking, but they also know how to let loose, relax with friends, and, perhaps only in the case of Gorons, eat some delicious rocks.
Gemini - Princess Zelda
The Gemini sign is often known for containing chameleons, people with the ability to blend into whatever environment they find themselves in, and the Hyrule princess could definitely be seen in this light. Though she displays kindness and great listening skills as a leader, being able to immediately tell when things aren't right in her kingdom, she also reacts well in situations of adversity.
Whether forced to go into hiding and disguise herself or take an active role in securing the future of the people she loves, Princess Zelda uses her intelligence to thrive no matter what.
Cancer - Great Deku Tree
Intuition is a key trait of the sign of the Crab, and there is perhaps no one as intuitive as the Great Deku Tree who can feel great changes in the world simply through having roots deep in the ground and a lot of thinking time. There's no doubt that the Great Deku Tree is in touch with the earth, but it is also in touch with its inhabitants, always taking the time to listen to others.
As with the Cancer astrological sign though, the only problem can be choosing when to abandon this ive, sensing role and speak up about what it knows. On the other hand, with a lot of experience and a deep understanding of the world, there is no doubt that every choice the Great Deku Tree makes is likely the wise one.
Leo - Ganon
Though there aren't many redeeming qualities to the power-hungry Gerudo warlock who thinks nothing of plunging a whole kingdom into darkness, some of his traits do resonate with those of the Leo sign. There is no denying that Ganon is bold and powerful. He is fully aware of his strength and doesn't have any time for modesty.
Likewise, in the world of the zodiac, these traits reflect some of the elements that are important to Leo. Leadership skills are just as important and, in that sense, Ganon does show his capability, commanding armies who remain loyal to him to the end. Furthermore, when others can't get the job done, Ganon is more than willing to roll up his sleeves and deal with trouble, usually in the form of a pointy-eared boy, himself.
Virgo - Fi
Link's companion in Skyward Sword is one of the most divisive but their strong points are plain to see in the game and helped them earn a place as one of the best ing characters in the Legend of Zelda games. The helpful spirit is smart and hardworking, always on hand to offer advice and any help they can even though their help might not always be wanted. As is typical of people of the Virgo astrological sign, Fi is a perfectionist and wants to see things done right.
Despite this, Fi manages to stay composed even when things don't go to plan, always trying to use their intellect to think of a new way around every problem. Though their dedication can grate on others at times, Fi gives a lot for the cause they believe in without complaining.
Libra - Great Fairy
Kind, generous, and sometimes very unique, the Great Fairies in the Legend of Zelda games are a great reflection of a sign that is known for producing valuable friends and allies. The Great Fairies are obviously altruistic, offering at least a restoration of life and energy when Link visits them and often giving even more than that.
Of course, the downside of selflessness and being willing to put others before oneself is that it could mean giving their energy to people who aren't worthy of it. Similar to how its better for people of the Libra sign to wait for others to prove themselves before dedicating too much, the fairies often present Link with tests to make sure that he truly is worth their generosity.
Scorpio - Medli
Scorpios are often known for their ion and determination and these are both traits that Medli displays from a young age, wanting to help her people through any means she can in Windwaker despite being one of their youngest. Not only does she shoulder this burden herself, she sets out to prove her independence by attempting to solve the problems that face her people alone.
Though it may have been a dangerous choice in the end, people in the Scorpio astrological sign aren't known for shying away from risks. Always wanting to be independent can backfire, however, as can always speaking her mind for the young Rito, but when she does get along with others, she is able to achieve great things.
Sagittarius - Link
Link is a born adventurer and, whether or not he has been called out by a world in danger, it seems as though he thrives from being out in the world, meeting new people, and exploring new realms. This makes Link an ideal fit for Sagittarius in the zodiac, and this connection is strengthened by the creative intelligence he shows when forced to solve puzzles in the games.
Link is willing to find his own path to achieving his goals, especially in games with a high degree of freedom like Breath of the Wild. Of course, he also carries the important qualities of empathy and a kind heart, which allows him to step easily into the hero role that is often thrust on him. These qualities are also what made him the most likable character in Breath of the Wild.
Capricorn - Epona
There is no character who exemplifies the qualities of loyalty and determination better than Epona, who has been at Link's side in countless games no matter the danger he is in. Epona's commitment and hard-working attitude are the kinds of traits that are also the reason why Capricorns are valued so highly as friends.
Epona thrives when someone else is at the reins, and though this doesn't mean that Capricorns can't also be strongly independent, it shows how they can sometimes be their best when they have a strong sense of order in their work and their lives. Most importantly, when Epona is given a goal, she runs at it at full speed until it is achieved.
Aquarius - Impa
In the world of the zodiac, Aquarius is an unusual sign. People in this sign are often unique and are at their best when doing things in their own style and at their own speed. Because of this, the Sheikah protector who has taken on countless different appearances across the games is a great fit for the sign.
Though some may see Impa as a mostly ive character in the Legend of Zelda series, through acting as a protector and mentor wherever she goes and pushing others to achieve their potential, she does play an active role in achieving her dream of leaving behind a better world. As people of the Aquarius sign often are, Impa is uncompromising and believes in the potential of others, and this helps make her parting with Princess Zelda in Skyward Sword one of the most iconic scenes for a Legend of Zelda character.
Pisces - Groose
Groose is one of the most surprising characters in the Legend of Zelda franchise, turning out to be entirely different from what initial impressions of him suggest, which makes him a great fit for Pisces. This is because Pisces is associated with people who have multiple facets to their personality and who are often capable of surprising.
In Skyward Sword, this is seen at first in the form of Groose's boisterous outward self. The player sees how emotionally driven he can be as he becomes angry and frustrated at Link, who he views as a rival. As time goes on, however, Groose is able to show his strong intuition when it comes to what's right and wrong and he becomes one of Link's best allies.
