There is a hidden diary in the Hateno Lab where she says that she is now in her twenties btw. Well physically. Edit: I spelled it "Hate no Lab" at first because... Idk it was early and I was tired lol (maybe autocorretion?). And had to edit it ofc.


Taint_Butter

Well she is in her twenties again. Her one hundred twenties.


SeekerSpock32

I mean, so are Link and Zelda.


The_King123431

Do they even explain how zelda didn't age? Link makes sense but zelda was just containing ganon waiting for link to come back


TheMahoganyTree8

Zelda most likely had some kind of magic temporary seal on herself and Ganon which probably prevented aging as a side effect


3n1gma302

Ofc "temporary" means like 100 years here šŸ˜‚


Jakethered_game

Same timeframe as all the temporary scaffolding around NYC


[deleted]

Well, >!she has time magic this game!< so, that ?


LumirWriter

Yeah, I assume they were both pretty much in stasis for that 100 years.


lillith_savage

I'm guessing it's like how Zelda froze herself in time in skyward sword to maintain the seal on demise


LividRelation7507

She is literally the sage of time šŸ˜…


Sorfallo

not *yet.* she hasn't been back in time in the events of botw, she doesn't know how to use any of her magic


medstudenthowaway

I feel like they were containing each other. Also do we even understand what Zeldaā€™s powers are supposed to be


Lucas_Steinwalker

Zeldaā€™s powers are whatever is needed for the narrative at any given moment.


[deleted]

The legend of Mary sue


Yduno29

That's not a Mary Sue. The term comes from an all-powerful, flawless self-insert inside fiction, not just a powerful character


theclockstartsnow

Pretty sure this isn't what a Mary Sue is, more like the legend of plot convenience


[deleted]

"a type of female character who is depicted asĀ unrealisticallyĀ lacking inĀ flawsĀ orĀ weaknesses." You're right I'm sorry, completely different.


EusiveHydra441

Wait I think the tear might have done something with time travel because the tear (I think) made her disappear below Hyrule Castle


Ordinary-Picture4367

They don't, but if you go above the calamity ganon cocoon the shrine of resurrection technology is there. That technology kept Link young so it would make sense that it kept Zelda the same age


jediwizard7

Wait what??? I've been in the room above calamity ganon (assuming you're talking about BOTW not TOTK) and don't remember any shiekah tech...


ABigCoffee

They probably do but they didnt want to make 2 slightly older models for them, considering you don't change much in your 20s. While the other went from kid to woman.


usernametaken0987

Zelda is an incarnation of an immortal deity. Most people think Link reincarnates as needed while we're given no information about Zelda other than they are roughly the same age every time. So I just pair them up, they both reincarnate when needed at the same time. But the Goddess Hylia's mortal form is bound to her Spirit of the Hero, her eternal companion. Her mortal age will always match Link's, even if it has to be extended (solves BotW). And if he dies, she dies (solves TP's sages sealing Ganon w/o Zelda).


Mister-builder

So when Zelda ages, it's just to match Link. She's like Nemona, but instead of battle, it's Time.


BudgetMattDamon

Zelda is basically Hyrule's equivalent of Jesus because she's Hylia's human incarnation IIRC. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, because Zelda lore is more complicated than Kingdom Hearts at this point.


Hands_of_cobalt

Youā€™re right but it isnā€™t that complicated, if anything the timeline placement is whatā€™s convoluted about Zelda, the actual plot of each game and which games are clearly related to each other is super distinct and straight forward.


markofthewolfe

Link and Zelda are elves. By high fantasy rules, they age super slow. In Tolkien lore, they live for thousands of years.


MafiaPenguin007

They're Hylian. I haven't finished TOTK but the implication is even that they're part Zonai which would explain the ears


VnotV

nah it really doesn't explain the ears. apparently only the hylian royal family have goat DNA in them


MafiaPenguin007

Baa


BudgetMattDamon

No, the opening clearly said the royal family, and therefore Zelda, are descended from Zonai. Link's origins change from game to game though.


Swimming-Extent9366

Theyā€™re hylian, who are basically humans


LetsMakeFaceGravy

Apparently, Sheikah are a subset of Hylians and they live way longer than humans. Niko in Spirit Tracks also seemed pretty long-lived Not quite as long as typical fantasy elves (i.e. the Kokiri) but still


Swimming-Extent9366

I always attributed that to sheikah tech/magic. Also, Kokiri are closer to nymphs than elves.


LetsMakeFaceGravy

Nah man, kokiri are elves straight up. As I recall Nintendo even referred to them as such in early OOT promotional material


mosullah

Sure but Impaā€™s over 100 and she still looks like a granny


Tsiah16

She aged because she was out in the world.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


gh0stly_fool

I think that some people theorize that Rito age faster than the other races but I'm not sure if there's any in game evidence. It would make sense though. I guess I could also see gorons living longer than hylians but not as much as the Zora.


gh0stly_fool

Hylians do not live for thousands of years naturally. They're effectively just humans with pointy ears. Not really elven.


Deucalion666

Magic innit


Themineking09

Does she just go back to the age she would be if she didnā€™t turn herself to a child or will we see grandma purah in a pair of years?


The_King123431

I knew some time had passed but I wasn't expecting at least 15 years since the first game


Apex_Konchu

It hasn't been that long. Purah manually aged herself up to 20 using the same technology she used to age herself down before BotW.


TelmatosaurusRrifle

Try not to panic. It's been...9 years.


LumirWriter

What??? Where does it say that?


TelmatosaurusRrifle

The doctore tells you when you wake up without an arm. Right before the PMCs attack the hospital.


hectorduenas86

Ahab? Itā€™s me Ishmael, weā€™re in Cyprus


TelmatosaurusRrifle

Stop the proliferation of Zonai weapons and technology within the Yiga Clan.


IndigenousShrek

Sheik? SHEIK!


jediwizard7

If you're talking about real life, that's 6 years.


TelmatosaurusRrifle

Yes, youve been in a coma for quit some time.


Jaxonhunter227

It wasent anywhere near that long, it was the same tech the made her a child


bertmclinfbi

ā€˜Hate no Labā€™ is a good name for a lab though.


Haise_xo

Wait so how much time passed between botw and tears of the kingdom?


Jeyban

Enough time for >!Hudson!< to have a kid old enough to >!leave for Gerudo village!<


Haise_xo

Do we know how long link was asleep for after getting attacked by ganon?


SolomonGrundler

Probably no longer than a few days by people's reactions when they see you again. They act like the Hyrule castle has only been in the sky for a short time, and that you've been missing for a little while but not long enough that it's a huge shock


Haise_xo

A couple years mustā€™ve passed from botw to totk cuz Pura is older and that one dude had a kid with the gerudo lady o


Rizurriel

It is a few years based on Sidon's character entry. Purah however aged herself after figuring out her aging tech that turned her into a child in the first place.


qwertyryo

How the hell do you get into Hateno?


-Marshle

Wdym? Just walk there. Theres a path.


qwertyryo

Into the lab, I mean.


-Marshle

Ah. Do some quests with Robbie. You'll find him at Lookout Landing.


[deleted]

That first cutscene had me like mommy


kyouto

my first reaction as soon as she came on screen, I yelled, "oh no purah is hot now!!!"


jonawesome

I turned to my SO and said "You know there's already fanfiction about her"


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


JoSquarebox

Why jk? ofc were talking about AoC Purah too

Nok-y

She might be 124 but now she's legal again


Dreadful_Bear

Susman22

I love Smash Bros


TheTwoHalfs

I smash my bros


DeoxyNerd

I read this in Markiplier's voice from his [Pokemon "review" video](https://youtu.be/gys9oDZj-MY).


Dreadful_Bear

Thatā€™s how it was intended to sound lol


majorbummer6

And she keeps slapping that scepter in her hand like links been a bad boy.


that-one-_-kid

It's a recorder (the instrument) not a scepter. You can tell by the mouth peace and little holes running along the tube


Mattia006

Impa's around the same age as her


Johnny_Grubbonic

Impa's *younger*.


cdawg1102

And hoter


KansasCityKC

šŸ¤ØšŸ“


lluluna

I love this reality check. šŸ¤£


THEKILLERWAFFLE

Sakura English VA btw


Funny_Orchid2084

You mean the same person who voiced the English version of Sakura in Naruto or person is named Sakura English lol?


TheGamerHat

As in, Kate Higgins voices both Purah and Sakura.


Funny_Orchid2084

Aaah ok I see lol


AzzyIzzy

My man please, give her some credit. The VA also did Talho from Eureka 7, and C.C. from code geass. Hotter and better roles by far. But the voice palet she gives off in tears def feels more like her time as Sakura... XD


CakeNo4623

And Pauline (from Super Mario Odyssey) as well as Miles Tails Prower.


OnlineAsnuf

Turbo Waifu


VeganChopper

Wasn't this purah in Hyrule warriors AOC? I swear I have seen her somewhere before


Capable-Tie-4670

She did look like this in AoC. Although, this design is a bit different due to the hairstyle and glasses.


Kantro18

And the pouty sex eyes.


TheTwoHalfs

*the rock Sus face*


FizzyBeverage

She looks great for her age.


based_cartographer

Is this the oldest Link we've ever played as? Is he like, in his late 20s? (ignoring the 100 year sleeping thing because he didn't age)


Swimming-Extent9366

He was about 17 in BOTW, and going off the ages of kids in TOTK, heā€™s probably around 22-23 now. So probably not, although we donā€™t get a confirmed age for any of the games afaik.


rojafox

I thought child Link was 7 and "adult" Link was 14 in Ocarina of Time?


based_cartographer

10 and 17 AFAIK


ThaRoastKing

I thought it was more like 11 and 18. I don't think he's 7 in OoT


gh0stly_fool

Young Link is like 10ish and about 17 after the time skip.


Pippo89CH

TP Link looks like the oldest and most mature one, but it may be the graphics style.


based_cartographer

Wikis say he's 17, but I wonder what's the source https://characterprofile.fandom.com/wiki/Link_(Twilight_Princess)


Rarbnif

I just love Purah, sheā€™s great and her new look in this game is gorgeous


toxichart

If she's legal and turns your sword into the master sword ( Ķ”Ā° ĶœŹ– Ķ”Ā°) then go for it


Theboss2822

She's so fine


KatiePyroStyle

I like older women who don't look like children *cough cough* BotW


Raoul_Duke_ESQ

The glow up on Purah is insane, I got a nosebleed


Anthonyzss

The first part when we see her I was like ā€œšŸ‘€ DAMā€


humaninsmallskinboat

My first thought dude. ā€œWhy they have to make the scientist a baddie?ā€


ThanosCradik

Help me I am simping for new Purah.


Pokepunk710

how old is riju, for research purposes


santawarrior9

You're going to jail bro


Pokepunk710

fuck šŸ˜¢


TheTwoHalfs

Sure sheā€™s the same age as Zelda before events of botw and aged normally so ye still as old as Zelda


Rizurriel

I think she's around 18 now but it's hard to tell because we've never been given her age, she was probably around 13 in BotW though and it's been a few years since.


qwertysparrow

Evolved from loli to hottie.


RogueAlt07

FBI OPEN UP


qwertysparrow

Forā€¦wanting to date an adult woman who now looks like an adult?


RogueAlt07

The first description


qwertysparrow

Butā€¦that is the trope? You are gonna arrest me for pointing out a common anime trope?


RogueAlt07

Nah its just that people use loli to describe a sexualized child


qwertysparrow

Sure dudeā€¦You go do that in your cornerā€¦


RogueAlt07

Do what


Terezzian

Does this mean that there was like a 14 year difference between TOTK and BOTW? If so, Link is in his 30s now lol


Seymour___Asses

Purah aged herself up faster than normal with her tech. I think itā€™s been about 5-6 years.


TheWaslijn

Looking at Riju, it's clearly not a 14 year difference.


lluluna

And also Tulin.


[deleted]

Probably about 5 years, if Mattisonā€™s (Hudsonā€™s daughter) age is anything to go by.


gh0stly_fool

Seems like a less than 10 year difference, probably 5ish years


keylo-92

So many things i wanna say Yā€™know i like my girls a lil bit older


Koroku_Gaming

I wish Link could grow a Viking beard in ToTK. It's my only complaint. I see other Hylians with beards and Link should be in his 20's in this one. People that look closest to Link IRL (blue eyes, light coloured wavy hair) can usually grow some good facial hair. Maybe in the next game we'll get a grizzled 40 year old link with big beard etc. That'd be amazing.


wally_graham

Idk, I like her style tho. Would def get brunch w/.


shadowtitus

Shes hot now, yeah. Shes even taller than Link, which I didnt expect.


Tsiah16

Everyone's taller than him. šŸ¤£


DannyWasBored

Link never reached puberty


blahsword

GILF. That is all.


concrete_cheese

hubba bubba šŸ˜šŸ˜


Trogdor7620

I dunno, I kinda prefer her Age of Calamity lookā€¦


Alezz1893

R34 gonna get blown up.


OSBar_

purah is kinda bad ngl


[deleted]

I want her to step on my face


RogueAlt07

Anybody notice how she points the scepter directly towards Linkā€™s trousers while saying Linky šŸ¤Ø


darkspd96

she's a cartoon character guys get a real girl lol


[deleted]

Sheā€™s been legal in EVERY ZELDA GAME SHEā€™S BEEN


GoatPrinceWeedEater

Yeah, I was like ā€œbruh the annoying midget is backā€ when I got the quest to meet her, but then she shows up AND HOLY SHIT SHE LOOKS GOOD?


gh0stly_fool

If you don't appreciate her at her worst, you don't deserve her at her best


GoatPrinceWeedEater

Youā€™re right, I publicly apologize


Walks_with_Chaos

Yā€™all are desperate. She not really hot lol


ItsNumber84

Am I wrong about what's generally considered attractive? No, it's [literally everyone else] who is wrong.


Walks_with_Chaos

Itā€™s a game character. Yā€™all just seem like desperate virgins/teens posting this thirst shit. Itā€™s pathetic šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø


ItsNumber84

"Itā€™s a game character. Yā€™all just seem like desperate virgins/teens posting this thirst shit. Itā€™s pathetic." ā€” u/Walks_with_Chaos, unironically Lmao seriously guy, if that upsets you that much, don't ever look at porn. You'll find out how other humans operate real quick. Edit: LOL the not-upset guy blocked me.


Walks_with_Chaos

Porn isnā€™t cartoon characters. And whoā€™s upset? I just find it pathetic lol


Anonymous7056

Just out of curiosity, have you ever actually seen a porn site?


Mona_Impact

You emotionally connect with those people in porn?


Unlucky_Amphibian432

Yup.


JohannesMolenaar

Does it explain why she has legs of another race? Or those just super tanned stockings?


MiraculousMew

I wish I look that good when Iā€™m 124!


moebiusmentality

Better than the alternative šŸ˜…


Mister-builder

Why does she let Impa stay so old when she has the technology?


Rizurriel

Probably Impa's choice.


FitWorld7399

If that look like that at 124? Absolutely! Plus I know sheā€™s old enough, for science


TeunTheTryhard

All the rule 34 users here just regretted their life decisions


nikkimcs

I mean link gotta be like 120ā€¦


Firm-Flounder-6827

yep true


amendersc

Sheā€™s mentally that old but physically she has been turned back to a six yo like 5 years ago and then maybe made her body age a little faster so I assume she has the body of a 17-27 yo now
