Role in Games

Purah first appears shortly after Link, Princess Zelda, and Impa bring the newly awakened guardian to her Royal Ancient Lab. She is fascinated by the diminutive guardian and wants to probe its memories for the secrets of what it can do. She believes it is linked with the Sheikah towers and believes the Sheikah tablet can unlock the towers. When proven true, Purah quickly recognizes the potential scanning power of the towers, quickly locating the secret hideout of the Yiga clan. She even works out that the tablet can teleport them to the towers once synced.

Purah now expands her team of researchers and discovers the date for when Calamity Ganon would attack thanks to the memories extracted from Terrako. She leads her team in a race against the clock to prepare for Ganon's inevitable revival. Unbeknownst to her and Robbie, the Yiga clan had infiltrated her team, intending to keep the knowledge they found secret. In a last-ditch effort, Purah tosses her tablet with the vital information to the tiny guardian, with instructions to take the images to Zelda.

The Sheikah scientist somehow managed to escape the Yiga turncoats, making her way down to Fort Hateno, uniting with the few remaining pockets of resistance among the Hylian forces. When Urbosa and Riju arrived at the last minute with their divine beast, Purah goes out to meet the reinforcements led by Zelda and Link. Purah had a plan to turn the tide against the Calamity forces involving hijackings the guardians to weaken their calamity corruption and stall their assault. This tactic, combined with Zelda's power awakening, led to victory at the fort.

Purah assisted with the counterattack against the Calamity forces by expanding the function of the Skeikah towers' teleportation abilities, allowing the rescue of King Rhoam and dropping a full army right on Ganon's doorstep at the outskirts of Hyrule Field. In the after scenes, Purah helped Zelda restore the broken Terrako back to functioning though the parts gathered up by Link and company.

Character Information

Personality

Purah is an eccentric researcher with a passion for uncovering the mysteries of the ancient relics. She can be hyper-focused and sometimes a bit oblivious of the world around her. She is passionate about her work, truly believing it to be of upmost importance. As Impa's older sister, Purah assumed a natural authority over her, despite her little sister's greater martial training. Although Purah can appear over-excitable, she proved quite reliable when threatened by the Yiga and forces of Calamity.
