Appearances
Breath of the Wild
When Princess Zelda visits Urbosa during sundown with her maidservants to request of her to become Divine Beast Vah Naboris's pilot, Urbosa immediately accepts without any hesitation as the Yiga Clan not only plan on resurrecting Calamity Ganon, but they are after their treasured heirloom, the Thunder Helm and refuses to rest until the monster is defeated, which Zelda thanks her on behalf of her father and the kingdom. When night falls, Urbosa and Princess Zelda are taking a stroll around town when the latter notes that she has never seen her so serious before. Urbosa couldn't say the same thing herself and remembers that Zelda seldom smiled a decade earlier, addressing her as "little bird". Zelda is puzzled as it sounded oddly familiar, and she asks where she got the name from, but she noticed that Urbosa had stopped walking. Urbosa stares at the two travelers passing by in the opposite direction and tells them to face her and adds that unlike them she prefers to fight her foes head-on and dares them do their worst. The "travelers" reveal themselves to be Yiga Footsoldiers as they charge at her and put up a fight with the Gerudo Chief, but Urbosa is able to gain the upper hand and one of them tries to attack her from behind as Zelda warns her. Urbosa calmly utilized "Urbosa's Fury" to strike the footsoldier. After defeating them, she tells them that she is sparing their lives out of respect for Zelda. After they leave, Urbosa goes back to the topic on the nickname and tells of the day that her friend, the Queen of Hyrule had always referred to her as "little bird", which Zelda deduced that she is talking about her late mother. Urbosa goes on that it had been a full ten years, yet her "little bird" still spread her wings to become the beacon of hope that Hyrule needed and adds that she sometimes loses herself and gets lost in the past.
With all four Champions assembled, Urbosa takes part in the Champions' inauguration ceremony with Link, Mipha, Daruk, and Revali, where they are bestowed blue clothes to show their new status. Urbosa wears her cloth like a skirt. When the ceremony concluded, she, Mipha, and Revali take interest in the Sheikah Slate as Urbosa tells them that the slate can produce still-images which gets Mipha's attention as she asks Zelda for a favor. Purah instructs everyone to get into position and when the setting is just right, Purah snaps the photo, but Daruk managed to pull everyone in at the last minute.
Urbosa attends Link's personal ceremony with the other Champions, where he is being appointed as Zelda's top knight. They are not very happy with Zelda's tone of voice when she is giving her speech as Daruk notes its lack of enthusiasm while Revali tells him off that the whole ceremony was his idea, but he does agree with its dry atmosphere as he relates to Zelda regarding their opinions on Link. Urbosa tells him to drop it as she states that Link is a living reminder of Zelda's lack of success which is in Zelda's perspective anyway.
Urbosa notifies Link of her whereabouts, and he arrived sooner than she expected. Urbosa wasn't too surprised given that Link is Zelda's knight. She tells him that Zelda ran an all-day survey on Vah Naboris when it took a toll on her by the time the sun went down. She asks asks how he and the princess are getting along, but she already knew their relationship was sour with Zelda becoming frustrated every time she sees him with the Master Sword, and often felt like a failure compared to him. She assures him that he isn't at fault for all this as she goes on to explain Zelda's personal problems regarding her inability to access her power and she had been dedicated to accessing it for many years, once even to the point where she passed out in the freezing water during one of her sessions without any desired results. It was the main motivations behind her research and adds that she is indeed special as she reminds Link that it is an honor to protect a member of the Royal Family. As the temperatures begin to drop, Urbosa comments on the desert's colder nights and decides to take her in. But, Urbosa had another idea as she snaps her fingers to use her champion's power, Urbosa's Fury which startles Zelda awake in confusion. She notices Link and wants to know how he got here, prompting Urbosa to laugh which further baffles the princess as she asks what was so funny.
Several days go by, Urbosa and the Champions await Link and Zelda's return from Mt. Lanayru where she was training at the Spring of Wisdom. When she delivers the bad news that she didn't get any results, Urbosa insists that she must move on as pitying herself won't do anything to help with her situation and that anything could help spark it. Mipha tries to give Zelda advice as she tries to explain how she uses her own healing power when she is interrupted by the shaking ground as Revali soars into the sky to check what was wrong before returning. Urbosa deduced that Calamity Ganon had returned as Daruk motivates the Champions to get to their Divine Beasts to launch a counterattack and instructs Link to head to Hyrule Castle. Urbosa then urges Zelda to take refuge, but the princess refused as she wishes to take part whether or not she had her power.
During the Great Calamity Thunderblight Ganon defeated Urbosa and took over the Divine Beast Vah Naboris. When Link returns a hundred years later, she tells him how excited she is for him to finally reclaim Naboris from Ganon.[4] She leads him to the map of Naboris and tells him he must enable the inactive terminals.[5][6] After reactivating the terminals and reaching the main control unit, Thunderblight Ganon appears. Urbosa explains that this creature was the one that killed her and warns Link to be careful.[7] Urbosa continues to assist Link by giving him advice and encouragement during the battle.
Once Thunderblight Ganon is defeated, Urbosa's spirit appears before Link and tells him that they can finally finish the battle against Ganon.[8] She then gives him Urbosa's Fury, which allows Link to summon lightning strikes to attack his enemies.[9] She then asks Link to let Zelda know that she does not need to carry the blame for what happened to the Champions and asks him to take care of her and Hyrule.[10]
Urbosa takes Naboris to the top of Spectacle Rock, where she uses her power to weaken Ganon at Hyrule Castle and says some final words to Naboris.[11] Since Ganon defeated her once before, she is eager to face him once again and achieve victory.[12]
When Calamity Ganon breaks out of Zelda's magical prison, Urbosa opens fire as she states it had been a hundred years in the making and assures Zelda that their moment has finally arrived as she opens fire to weaken Ganon. After Ganon is destroyed and Zelda is freed, Urbosa joins the Champions and King Rhoam as they see off Link and the princess before they vanish, having completed their duties.
