When [[Link]] chases after [[Yuga]] to Lorule, he finds himself in [[Lorule Castle]], where Yuga surrounds himself with the [[Painting]]s of the [[Seven Sages]], using their power to obtain the [[Triforce|Triforce of Power]] and merge with [[Ganon]]. Hilda appears shortly thereafter to restrain him and allow Link to escape.<ref>{{Cite|Oh, Hero of Hyrule, I can hold the beast at bay for only so long. It should prove enough time to bid you a most sorrowful welcome to my kingdom. Welcome to Lorule. My name is Princess Hilda, and I have failed you in every way.

Yuga's appetite will soon consume our worlds. Hyrule and Lorule--the beast's for the taking. I cannot hold him back much longer. So...I must see you to safety.|Princess Hilda|ALBW}}</ref> She takes him to another dimension, where she explains that he must retrieve the Seven Sages who are now scattered across Lorule and join forces with them to defeat Yuga.<ref>{{Cite|Ah, here we are... A moment more of safety, Link. Though Yuga is slipping his bonds, I will try to keep you safe from him as long as I can. I'm afraid I must ask you to do what I cannot--defeat the beast. To do that, you must awaken your full potential, Hero of Hyrule. I sense that the paintings of Hyrule's Seven Sages are being sent to the far corners of Lorule. You must steal those paintings back. The secret to Yuga's defeat lies in uniting your friends! Farewell, Hero of Hyrule... We shall meet again...|Hilda|ALBW}}</ref> She leaves him in a road near the Lorulean [[Blacksmith]]'s house. After Link awakens, Hilda speaks to Link telepathically to explain the dichotomy between Hyrule and Lorule, and that Yuga's actions have caused [[Fissure]]s to appear, linking both worlds.<ref>{{Cite|Can you hear me, Hero of Hyrule? It is I, Princess Hilda. I wanted to warn you about the kingdom in which you've found yourself. My Lorule may remind you of your own home. But, in fact, our kingdoms are as different as night and day. Worlds apart, as they say. But Yuga's scheme has forced our two kingdoms close together. So close, they are now connected.|Hilda|ALBW}}</ref> She also explains that because of the ruined state of Lorule, Link cannot access all parts of it from within her kingdom, so the young hero must enter Lorule from equivalent locations in Hyrule.<ref>{{Cite|What's more, the Seven Sages you seek are spread across my land, locked away in dungeons.

Farewell--and be careful out there, Link.|Hilda|ALBW}}</ref> Afterwards, Hilda acts as a guide, telepathically communicating with the young hero whenever he enters new parts of Lorule. When Link enters Lorule from the [[Sanctuary]], she tells him that the Lorulean location was once a holy place, but has now become the opposite, and that something nearby will help him on his journey.<ref>{{Cite|Welcome back to the Lorule Kingdom, Link...

So say I, Hilda of Lorule.|Hilda|ALBW}}</ref> Upon entering Lorule near the [[Dark Palace]], Hilda tells Link that he has entered an evil place where former Lorulean soldiers have been corrupted and now worship a terrible beast,<ref>{{Cite|Welcome back to Lorule Kingdom, Link... You have entered a truly evil place. You must find the Dark Palace. There you will discover a Sage in desperate need of your help. Please...go quickly to the rescue.

After Link rescues all seven of the sages, Hilda informs Link that [[Lorule]] once had its own Triforce. The Lorulians fought brutal wars over the Triforce, and in order to put a stop to the chaos Hilda's ancestors destroyed their Triforce utterly. It was done with good intentions, but it had disastrous consequences. Lorule was not able to exist without the Triforce's power, and began to tear itself apart. Hilda couldn't bear to see her beloved kingdom rent to pieces, slowly dying, so when she discovered of the existence of another Triforce ([[Hyrule]]'s Triforce), she schemed to obtain it so she could restore Lorule and protect her people from destruction. With that, she swiftly steals Zelda's [[Triforce of Wisdom]] and summons Yuga-Ganon to take Link's [[Triforce of Courage]] by force.
On the [[Final Day|third day]], Dampé can be found underground beneath a gravestone searching for the treasure of Ikana's Royal Family.<ref>{{Cite|I came looking for the Royal Family's legendary treasure, but my torch has gone out.|Dampé|MM}}</ref> However, his torch has gone out, so he asks Link to guide him with [[Tatl|his fairy]]'s light.<ref>{{Cite|...A fairy?

It's the leader of the ghosts!|Dampé|MM}}</ref> causing Dampé to run away. Once Link defeats this enemy, a treasure chest containing an [[Empty Bottle]] reveals itself. If Link leaves this area, he will find himself in Dampé's house.

After the battle is over and Zelda is revived, Hilda, at the end of her rope, asks "What can I do now?". Zelda tries to tell her she understands the burdens of being a princess and a leader, but Hilda snaps that she knows nothing. Suddenly Ravio intervenes and reveals himself to be Link's cowardly Lorulian counterpart. He tells his princess that he knew Yuga's and her plan to steal Hyrule's Triforce was a bad idea, but he was too scared to confront them on his own. So he journeyed to Hyrule in search of a hero who could stop them. At first Hilda is furious at his betrayal, but soon realizes that she is perpetuating the chaos that caused her Triforce's destruction. Horrified at herself, she apologizes to Link and Zelda and agrees to send them home. She and Ravio take them to what was once Lorule's Sacred Realm and use the last of [[Ravio's Bracelet]]'s power to send them through a crack to [[Hyrule]].
Dampé is one of very few characters from ''Ocarina of Time'' to appear completely unaltered in terms of name and personality in ''Majora's Mask''.

Template:Character Princess Hilda is a character appearing in A Link Between Worlds. She wields a staff with an inverted, tetrahedron Triforce floating at the tip.

Biography

Princess Hilda appears to be Princess Zelda's Lorulean counterpart. She wishes for her land to have a hero, and believes Link to be a suitable candidate.[1] Hilda can communicate with Link telepathically. She acts as a guide while he traverses Lorule.

When Link chases after Yuga to Lorule, he finds himself in Lorule Castle, where Yuga surrounds himself with the Paintings of the Seven Sages, using their power to obtain the Triforce of Power and merge with Ganon. Hilda appears shortly thereafter to restrain him and allow Link to escape.[2] She takes him to another dimension, where she explains that he must retrieve the Seven Sages who are now scattered across Lorule and join forces with them to defeat Yuga.[3] She leaves him in a road near the Lorulean Blacksmith's house. After Link awakens, Hilda speaks to Link telepathically to explain the dichotomy between Hyrule and Lorule, and that Yuga's actions have caused Fissures to appear, linking both worlds.[4] She also explains that because of the ruined state of Lorule, Link cannot access all parts of it from within her kingdom, so the young hero must enter Lorule from equivalent locations in Hyrule.[5] Afterwards, Hilda acts as a guide, telepathically communicating with the young hero whenever he enters new parts of Lorule. When Link enters Lorule from the Sanctuary, she tells him that the Lorulean location was once a holy place, but has now become the opposite, and that something nearby will help him on his journey.[6] When Link enters Lorule near Turtle Rock, she tells the young hero that there is a fiery maze nearby, and that he must find a way to control the flames to find the Sage within.[7] Upon entering Lorule near the Dark Palace, Hilda tells Link that he has entered an evil place where former Lorulean soldiers have been corrupted and now worship a terrible beast,[8] a fact which she laments over.[9]

Occasionally after Link saves a sage, Hilda is seen talking to Zelda's portrait in Lorule castle, commenting on how she hopes that their Hyrulian hero will succeed.

After Link rescues all seven of the sages, Hilda informs Link that Lorule once had its own Triforce. The Lorulians fought brutal wars over the Triforce, and in order to put a stop to the chaos Hilda's ancestors destroyed their Triforce utterly. It was done with good intentions, but it had disastrous consequences. Lorule was not able to exist without the Triforce's power, and began to tear itself apart.

Link and the Princess re-enter their world in the Sacred Realm with their Triforce straight ahead. Zelda and Link look at each other, knowing they each have the same wish, and touch the Triforce together.

In Lorule, Hilda and Ravio have not moved. Suddenly an earthquake rocks them to the ground, startling them both. They watch in amazement as the Lorulian Triforce is remade above them, whole and intact once more. An overjoyed Ravio smiles hugely as Princess Hilda happily cries. Lorule's darkness is infused with light, and Hilda thanks Zelda and Link for gifting Lorule its rightful Triforce.
