Princess Zelda from Ocarina of Time holds the Triforce aloft above her head. Her face is streaked with large, bubbly tears and she seems concentrated. She has more arms, all arched around her body to frame herself. In one of the pairs she holds the ocarina of time. She is surrounded by purples and blues, her hair is incredibly long and blonde, creating a pillar of light in the center of the image.
