Tulin
As the primary born check in the zodiac, there may be a brave, fledgling, easily excitable innocence to the Aries spirit. All things are recent to them and the whole lot seems possible, they greet challenge with enthusiasm and examine set backs as fuel. We see these qualities expressed within the wet behind the ears but ever ready for battle energy of beak and bow bearing hero in training, Tulin.
Impa
Taurus folk appreciate nice garments, an extended tedious quest and the power to live and work in nature, all hallmarks of the character ark of Impa. Bulls are smart, formidable when called to be, slow to motion or anger, patient and powerful and a tempering force within the lives of others. Impa is described as such by her elder sister Purah, “She’s incredibly responsible, but at what cost? She’s wound waaaay too tight, if ya ask me. I’m the sort that charges ahead once I’m inspired! Impa prefers to attend and see. But mostly wait and wait and wait. Mainly, she’s the one who puts a stop to a few of my crazier antics.”
Tingle
A map making, catchphrase wielding, deal making, underwear as outerwear rocking, youthful trickster susceptible to floatation of the literal and metaphorical variety, friendly fan favorite Tingle is definitely a Gemini.
Princess Zelda
Cancer represents the divine feminine and the archetype of the mother and Zelda is the incarnation of a female deity whose powers have been passed all the way down to her through matrilineal descent. It tracks. Cancers are sometimes remembered for his or her sensitivity but as Zelda perennially proves, they’re equally imbued with strength and the true spirit of survival. Burdened by guilt, susceptible to martyrdom and imbued with magic, Zelda represents the holy trinity of cardinal water.
Lady Makeela Riju
Leo is the sign of royalty and as ruler of the fifth house of delight and play, synonymous with the inner child. Chieftainess Lady Makeela Riju, a youthful, enthusiastic ruler with probably the most impressive headwear of any character, occupies a throne by day but looks forward to the setting sun and her nightly retreat into the private company of stuffed animals and her own imagination. She is a capable leader, who, like most Leos, puts out the vibe that they’d fairly be partying than governing.
Link
A dutiful creature of few words, humble bearing and plenty of challenges, Link is emblematic of the Virgo spirit. Virgo rules the sixth house of service and as such is enlivened by purpose and the necessity to feel needed. When it comes to modalities, Virgo is mutable earth and Link operates because the ever flexible avatar to Zelda’s legion of players. In “Breath of the Wild,” Zelda’s diary explains why Link rarely speaks, revealing that he thinks it’s “obligatory to remain strong and to silently bear any burden,” the guideline of many a Virgo like him.

Agahnim
Libra is the sign of partnership and as such is represented by the scales and balances. The sun is in fall in Libra, and because the only check in the zodiac represented by an inanimate object, natives require the influence, impetus or activation of one other person or force to take motion. Enter Star Trek headband wearing, gray clawed Agahnim who operates because the evil doing avatar of Ganondorf. Runner up is Mipha who shows the sunnier side of the Libra archetype and her Venusian nature by being lovingly dedicated to Link and making our man a set of marital armor, an apt metaphor for relationships in all realms.
Midna
Ruled by Pluto, the planet of death named for the Roman god of the underworld, Scorpio folk don’t have any fear of the dark and share a deep affinity for shadows. Enter Twilight Princess Midna who initially speaks only in cryptic hints, rules over a nighttime kingdom and wears a hooded cloak. Like many Scorpios upon first impression, Midna looks as if a self-serving loner type but further investigation and following just a few tests of mettle and a martyr move by Zelda, Midna reveals she is immensely compassionate and constant, willing to go to great lengths to do right by those she deems worthy.
Prince Sidon
Prince Sidon is an unflappable, ceaselessly optimistic youngest son who leads by example relating to keeping on the sunny side; whilst his kingdom is plunged into disorder and suffering. A capable warrior with a formidable fan club, Sidon is representative of the buoyant spirit of Sagittarius and the bubbling kid brother/boderline toxic positivity vibe they emit
Ganondorf
Within the Major Arcana of the tarot, Capricorn is represented by the Devil card. Apropos of this probable, sea goat Ganondorf is a reincarnated demon king narcissist hell bent on recreating the world in his broken image. Cheerful. Caps are strivers, builders, strategists and doers which can be ever trying to get to the highest and be the most effective they might be. Yet, when their pinnacle is absolute power and their peak is ruthless rulership their means get ugly, their greed goes deep they usually turn out to be incorrigible, punishing and the very prototype for villainhood.
Blissful Mask Salesman
A set air sign represented by the mythical water bearer, Aquarius is the uncontested cult leader/snake oil salesman of the zodiac. In kind, or cult because it were, the enjoyment promising, questionably intentioned Blissful Mask Salesman matches the vibe of a sinister peddler. Aquarians, with their objectivity and dual rulership are hard to define and even harder to get to know, often wearing metaphorical masks that protect their true identities, a degree made manifest in HMS.
Skull Kid
Pisces individuals are ruled by Neptune, planet of imagination, deception and escape. As such, they’re all the time looking for trap doors, liminal spaces, disassociation and the outer edges of reality. Fittingly, and in response to LoZ lore, Skull Kids were children who got lost within the forest and were transformed into imp like creatures with a taste for mischief and the power to teleport. Like most Pisceans Skull Kid likes a bunch sing along and is very suceptable to the influence of others. Further, Pisces are known to fall in love easily and the popular currency of Skull Kids is Pieces of Heart.
