Impa

Nursemaid, sage, ancient guardian, elder — Impa has outlived nearly every timeline she's appeared in, in whatever body that era needs.

    The old woman who tells Link, in the game's own opening story, how Zelda split the Triforce of Wisdom to keep it from Ganon.

    Zelda's Sheikah nursemaid and guardian, who teaches Link Zelda's Lullaby and later awakens as the Shadow Sage.

    Serves as Princess Zelda's trusted advisor inside Hyrule Castle.

  5. Hyrule Warriors: Age of CalamityAge of Calamity (alternate history)

    A young, front-line combatant a century before Breath of the Wild — the same woman, a very different life stage.

    The ancient elder of Kakariko Village, holding the clearest living memory of the Calamity a hundred years earlier.

  7. Tears of the KingdomDistant Future (BOTW / TOTK)

    Older and frailer still, but unmoved from her post as Kakariko's guide and Zelda's oldest ally.
