Skyward Sword: Princess Zelda

Her father’s name is Gaepora. That is the short answer to the “dad” search, and the rest of her path is a sequence of places, not a single title.

At the Wing Ceremony she stands in for the goddess while Link plays the hero. Ghirahim’s tornado knocks her from the cloud barrier. Impa takes her out of the woods. She prays at the three springs so her body can hold what she is about to do, and at the Temple of Time she puts the Goddess’s Harp in Link’s hands. The sentence she speaks about herself is that she is Hylia reborn. I quote that as her account inside the story, and I do not add a second mythology on top.

She seals herself in crystal to keep Demise bound. When she wakes, Ghirahim abducts her and Demise consumes the soul he was after. The places, in order, are Skyloft, the springs, the Gate of Time, the seal, and the last battle. A query that repeats her name three times is too ambiguous to chase, so this page stays on the plot roles above.

HD does not rewrite those scenes. It lets you skip the dialogue. The character is the same daughter of the academy headmaster, whether the disc is Wii or the 2021 Switch release.
