— Tetra

Tetra, also known as Dazel in some languages, is a recurring character in the Legend of Zelda series. Tetra is a tan, blonde pirate girl and successor to her mother's gang of pirates. A fearless and even merciless pirate, she seems, at first glance, cold and to care only about herself and treasure.

[edit] The Wind Waker

At the very beginning of the game, Link rescues Tetra in the Forest of Fairies on Outset Island, after she was dropped there by the Helmaroc King. However, shortly thereafter, Link's sister Aryll is kidnapped by the same bird. While she initially shows distrust for Link, she allows him to travel with her on their pirate ship, so Link can reach the Forsaken Fortress and rescue Aryll. Throughout the adventure she warms up to him and in return her pirates help him twice.

Tetra is revealed to be a descendant of Princess Zelda in the line of the ancient Hyrulean Royal Family when the King, Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule, gives her the rest of the Triforce of Wisdom. In the final battle, she helps Link defeat Ganondorf by shooting Light Arrows in various manners. At one point in the battle, Ganondorf's slaps her and knocks her out for around two minutes. When she regains consciousness, she again helps Link defeat Ganondorf. Shortly thereafter, she and Link embark to find a new land that will be the next Hyrule when ancient Hyrule is flooded.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

Early on in Phantom Hourglass, Tetra boards a mystical Ghost Ship. Suddenly, the Ghost Ship disappears with her still aboard it. Eventually, Link manages to find the Ghost Ship; however, he finds that she has been turned to stone by the monster Bellum. Link keeps her in the hold of the S.S. Linebeck. When Link eventually manages to restore her, she is kidnapped by Bellum, who possesses the Ghost Ship. Link chases after the Ghost Ship and eventually manages to defeat Bellum. After peace has been restored, Link, Tetra and the Pirates sail together back to the Great Sea from the World of the Ocean King.

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks

Theory warning: This section contains theoretical information based on the viewpoints or research of one or several other users. It has not been officially verified by Nintendo and its factual accuracy is disputed.

Artwork of Anjean, who bears a slight resemblance to Tetra.

Anjean, a character from Spirit Tracks, appears to look like an aged version of Tetra, and there may be a connection between the two. They share the same unusual hairstyle, and Niko, another member of Tetra's Pirates, is shown to be an elderly man during the events of Spirit Tracks, further supporting this theory. On the other hand, the Hyrulean royalty has been reinstated, so if Tetra was still alive she would probably exist as one of the Royal Family.
