Fi

Character          Quote “The one chosen by my creator. I have been waiting for you. You will play a role in a great destiny. According to your social customs, I should provide you with my personal designation. Fi is the name I was given. I was created for a single purpose, long before the recorded memory of your people. I must aid you in fulfilling the great destiny that is your burden to carry.” — Fi     C Fi   [Edit]   [Talk]

Fi is a character in Skyward Sword and Hyrule Warriors. She is the humanoid representation of the Goddess Sword. Fi is the spirit within the Sword, enlisted to guide Link during his adventure, serving as the hero's companion in the game.

History[]

Unified Timeline[]

Creation[]

The Goddess Hylia created the Goddess Sword and Fi, an intelligent humanoid spirit who resides in the Sword, and gave it the purpose of assisting Hylia's chosen hero in fulfilling his destiny of defeating Demise. She then enshrined the Sword inside the Statue of the Goddess before raising it into The Sky as part of Skyloft.

Helping Link[]

Preceding the Wing Ceremony, Fi appears to Link in his dreams, foretelling him of his destiny. After Link and Zelda are attacked by a black tornado, Link wakes up in his room where he hears Fi speaking to him. Fi guides him to the Statue of the Goddess, further explaining his fate as the chosen hero and encouraging him to draw the Goddess Sword from its pedestal so that Fi can formally acknowledge him as her Master. Fi gives Link the Emerald Tablet and tells the hero that he must go beneath the clouds in order to find Zelda and fulfill his destiny, with the tablet illuminating the path ahead. In addition, Fi will warn Link when the Wii Remote's batteries are low.^[1]

Sleep[]

Once Link seals away Demise within the Master Sword, Fi requests that Link end their relationship by returning the Master Sword, as her purpose in aiding the chosen hero in his mission is complete. Link thrusts the Sword into its pedestal in the Temple of Hylia, but Fi calls him back to give a true goodbye, showing emotions for the first time and claiming that their time together was the most precious, for she has experienced happiness before falling into an endless sleep. She then thanks Link and hopes that they may meet again in another life as her consciousness fades away into the Master Sword.

End of the Timelines[]

100 years before The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild[]

100 years before The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, one of Link's reincarnation is nearly killed by Guardians that fell under Ganon's control. Fi, as the spirit of the Master Sword, told Zelda to find Dr. Purah in order to get her master nursed back to health.

During Breath of the Wild[]

Once Link complete the "The Hero's Sword" quest, Fi manifests herself once again with her signature speech sound and glow.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity[]

During the Guardian of Remembrance DLC secret ending, a small scene plays where Link and Zelda are hanging out at Hyrule Castle and when Link turns away from her, Fi manifests herself as she greets the princess who is the only one who notices it as Link remained oblivious to this phenomenon.

Tears of the Kingdom[]

When Link finds a strange light at the Temple of Time, the Master Sword glows and Fi's sound effect plays, instructing him to place it in the light. After Link does so, the sword time travels thousands of years into the past where Princess Zelda is waiting for it. Once in the past Fi informs Zelda that Link is safe, having survived Ganondorf's attack, and that she has traveled back in time to find Zelda and so the Master Sword can regain its strength.

When Link later retrieves the Master Sword from the Light Dragon where it has been recovering its power for thousands of years, Zelda refers to Fi by calling the sword "she" instead of "it".

After Link defeats Ganondorf and saves Zelda, Fi greets the princess once more from within the Master Sword and Zelda realizes her plan worked.

Hyrule Warriors[]

Fi appears as a playable character in Hyrule Warriors. She does not wield a weapon in battle, as she the Goddess Sword itself. Her fighting style is very elegant, and resembles ballet dancing, using her legs and feet to deal damage. She is capable of turning into the Goddess Sword for her attacks, and summoning the Sacred Flames. Fi has great mobility and crowd control, constantly moving with her attacks and has wide, sweeping blows that have no difficulty hitting multiple foes at once. However, she does suffer against boss characters due to lacking a sufficient aerial or weak point smash move.
