ZELDA

This is the pattern for Zelda to go along with the pattern for Link.  I must admit that for a long time, I thought that the character you play in the game was called Zelda.  I was not until I beat Ocarina of Time that I discovered that Zelda was the princess that Link was saving in the story.  Use F crochet hook unless otherwise stated.
