Tetra's Pirates

Tetra's Pirates are a recurring group in the Legend of Zelda series. This group of pirates consists of Gonzo, Mako, Niko, Nudge, Senza, Zuko and their leader Tetra.

Interestingly, on one of the walls of Hyrule Castle in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, there hangs a picture of Princess Zelda with a group of royal subjects, all of whom look very similar to the pirates. Also, Zelda bears a striking resemblance to Tetra. It is possible that the pirates' ancestors were servants to Princess Zelda in generations past.

Their ship, which is simply called the "Pirate Ship", appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a stage.

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
Link meets the pirates on Outset Island where he saves Tetra from the Helmaroc King. When his sister Aryll is kidnapped by the Helmaroc King, Tetra agrees to take Link to the Forsaken Fortress to save her in return for saving her own life.

After "delivering" Link to the Fortress (by way of catapulting him in a barrel), the pirates are next seen docked on Windfall Island where they are stealing bombs from Cannon in order gain entry to Jabun's cavern on Outset Island. Tetra decides to let the pirates stay in town "for the night" which ends up being a rather long time, as a semi-permanent darkness has descended on the Great Sea for the time being. In the meantime, Link, whom the pirates were confident they could out-run, gets to Jabun first.

The pirates also return to help Link rescue Aryll and the other kidnapped girls during Link's second trip to the Forsaken Fortress. They take the girls back to Windfall Island in return for an award from their fathers, however, return Aryll to Outset Island for free and give her a pink skull dress.

Near the conclusion of the game, the pirates can be seen with an array of other characters to greet Link and Tetra after they emerge from the sunken Hyrule. They later accompany the pair on another unspecified journey through the Great Sea.

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
The game startes with Link and the pirates sailing the Great Sea searching for the legendary Ghost Ship. Tetra is eventually taken away by the appearing ship, and Link is stranded on Mercay Island.

After the ultimate defeat of Bellum, Link and Tetra reunite with the pirates.
