Her skin is scaly and of different shades of red and white and she has a fish fin on her head as hair. Mipha is shorter than the average Zora. She has a serene face, with thin red lips and yellow eyes. Originally she only wore jewelry and ornaments of Zora royalty, but after she officially became a Champion she began to wear a robe with the emblem of Hyrule.

Although usually demure and introverted, Mipha can be courageous when needed and does whatever she can to assist Link and her allies in any way she can, especially in their battle to stop the Calamity Ganon's return. Mipha is known to be extremely kind, treating both her people and strangers with equal kindness. Her cutscene in the Champions' Ballad shows that she was a nurturing elder sister to Sidon. Mipha is also known to be in love with Link, promising to heal him whenever and no matter how bad the wound may be. She shyly tells him that after the Great Calamity was dealt with, she wants to spend time with him, like they did in their childhood.

Mipha was the Princess of the Zora, a friend of Link, and one of the Champions. She is described as being kind and soft spoken.[15] She has a gift for healing, known as Mipha's Grace.[16] She was the only daughter of King Dorephan and the elder sister of Sidon.[17] When Mipha was born, Dento crafted the Lightscale Trident for her.[18] When she grew older, she began to take lessons from the royal guard of the Zora, which led to them becoming fond of her.[19] In particular, Seggin loved Mipha as though she were his own daughter, and he taught her how to use her Lightscale Trident.[20] Her skills with the Trident were described as being in a class of their own.[21] She also received tutelage from Muzu, who she was close with.[22] Mipha met Link when he joined a group of Hylian diplomats visiting Zora's Domain at the age of four.[23] She was surprised by how energetic he seemed and impressed he was talented enough to best adults at swordsmanship.[24] Due to his recklessness, Mipha would heal his bruises with her Grace.[25][26] She found the way he looked up at her to be adorable.[27] As part of King Rhoam's excavations, Divine Beast Vah Ruta was discovered at Zora's Domain.[28] When she heard of this news, Mipha rushed to go see it.[29] Witnesses claimed that Mipha had a sparkle in her eyes when she saw the Divine Beast,[30] which Mipha claims is due to finding it cute.[31] She then spoke to Vah Ruta as though they were friends.[32] Mipha found it interesting to imagine the person who piloted the Divine Beast 10,000 years ago, and she wondered who would do so next.[33]

As a Hylian, Link grew up faster than Mipha did.[34] When he returned to Zora's Domain with the Master Sword, Mipha was proud of him, but she was concerned by how rarely he spoke and smiled.[35] When she asked how he was, Link shook his head at her, and Mipha felt as though he were looking past her.[36] Princess Zelda came to Zora's Domain, where she asked Mipha if she would be the Champion of Divine Beast Vah Ruta.[37] Mipha was overjoyed and, feeling a sense of duty to stop Calamity Ganon, agreed to Zelda's request.[32][38] Not only did she feel compelled to defend Zora's Domain and the rest of Hyrule Kingdom against Calamity Ganon, Mipha also wanted to help Link.[39] BotW Champion Mipha's Song Mipha speaking to a young Sidon at Veiled Falls During the "Champion Mipha's Song" EX Recovered Memory, which is exclusive to The Champions' Ballad DLC Pack, Mipha and Princess Zelda can be seen standing together on top of Veiled Falls. She asks Zelda who her fellow Champions are,[40] and Zelda describes Daruk, Revali, and Urbosa to her.[41] While Zelda refuses to say the Hylian Champion's name,[42] Mipha realizes that she is talking about Link.[43] Looking down the Waterfall, Mipha sees Sidon paddling in the Water, and she yells for him to Swim up to them.[44] Princess Zelda believes he may be too young to do so on his own,[45] but Mipha states that she will have to leave him to pilot Divine Beast Vah Ruta.[46] Mipha then dives down the Veiled Falls to join Sidon, where she tells him to ride on her back so he can get a feel for Swimming up Waterfalls.[47] At the top of the Waterfall, Mipha kneels beside Sidon and tells him that, if anything happens to her, it will be his duty to protect Zora's Domain.[48] Sidon smiles in response. Mipha expresses her belief in him before asking if he would like to try Swimming up the Waterfall again.[49]

In order to become a Champion, Mipha was tasked with undertaking three trials.[50] These trials included Swimming through a Glowing Ring in the Lanayru Sea, fighting Guardians in Upland Zorana, and Swimming through Glowing Rings on the Waterfalls of Mikau Lake and Lulu Lake.[51] For the first trial, she kept a note describing when the Glowing Ring would appear, which she would often repeat to herself.[52] The next time Link visited Zora's Domain, Mipha told him about the Lynel on Ploymus Mountain, which had been causing trouble for the Zora.[53] Link immediately left for Ploymus Mountain, and Mipha followed after him.[54] Link tried to convince Mipha to leave the fight to him, but their arguing led to the Lynel ambushing them.[55] He then defeated the Lynel with the Master Sword, which fascinated Mipha.[56] Inspired by his strength and desire to help other, Mipha realized that she was in love with Link.[57] This event would later be documented in the History of the Zora, Part Seven. Mipha was also interested in Link's Spin Attack, which she wanted to practice with the Lightscale Trident.[58] BotW Picture of the Champions The Picture of the Champions The "The Champions' Ballad" EX Recovered Memory follows the inauguration of the Champions in the Throne Room of Hyrule Castle. King Rhoam bestows upon them blue cloths, which symbolizes their connection to the Royal Family of Hyrule and were crafted by Princess Zelda.[59] Afterwards, the Champions gather at the Castle's gazebo. Alongside Urbosa and Revali, Mipha learns about the Sheikah Slate from Princess Zelda.[60] Revali hands the Sheikah Slate to Mipha, and Urbosa recalls that Zelda recently showed her the Camera Rune's ability to take Pictures.[61] Mipha is amazed by the prospect and wishes to see it, and she asks whether she can request a favor from Zelda.[62] The scene then cuts to the Champions standing together, while Purah directs them from behind the Sheikah Slate.[63] Noticing that Mipha appears tense, Pura

Mipha later wrote in her Diary about the inauguration, claiming that she does not recall much of the ceremony itself.[65] However, she believed that she would remember the moment she shared with the rest of the Champions forever.[66] In particular, she is grateful for Princess Zelda for allowing her request and Daruk for bringing her so close to Link.[67] Despite gaining such a happy memory, Mipha was saddened to hear that Link would be spending so much time with Princess Zelda as her personal guard.[68] During the "Subdued Ceremony" Recovered Memory, Mipha attends Link's appointment as Princess Zelda's guard with her fellow Champions. She appears annoyed by Revali disrupting the ceremony. Zelda also notes that Mipha had the easiest time mastering her Divine Beast.[69] Due to Muzu's dislike of Hylians, Mipha never told him about her feelings for Link.[70] Despite this, she still prepared Zora Armor for Link, which is traditionally given by Zora princesses to the man they will marry.[71] She considered giving it to him during his next visit to Zora's Domain, but she had doubts about doing so.[72] She took hope from a legend about a Zora princess falling in love with a Hylian swordsman.[73] Since she and Link would be on their own, she planned on riding Divine Beast Vah Ruta's trunk together during the sunset.[74]

Their meeting can be seen during "Mipha's Touch," which is the 10th Recovered Memory. As she heals a wound on Link's arm, Mipha recalls their first meeting and how she would heal him.[25] She comments that since he was a Hylian, Link seemed to grow up much faster than she did.[34] Mipha then changes the subject, wondering what can be done if Calamity Ganon returned, since they do not know much about his abilities.[75] Mipha assures Link that no matter how difficult the battle is or how severe his wounds may be, she is will always be there to protect and heal him.[76] Mipha hopes that they will be able to spend time together after Calamity Ganon is defeated.[77] During the "Return of Calamity Ganon" Recovered Memory, Mipha and the rest of the Champions can be seen waiting at the Lanayru Road - East Gate on the day of Princess Zelda's 17th birthday. She appears dismayed to hear the Zelda failed to unlock her sealing power at the Spring of Wisdom. In an attempt to help Princess Zelda, Mipha reveals that she has been thinking about what goes through her mind when she uses her Grace.[78] However, she is cut off before she can finish the thought as the ground behind the shake.[79] Revali flies into the air to investigate, discovering that Calamity Ganon has emerged from below Hyrule Castle. Urbosa discerns what has happened,[80] and when Mipha asks if they are certain,[81] Revali states that he is positive.[82] Daruk takes control of the situation and orders the Champions to their Divine Beasts.[83] To reach Divine Beast Vah Ruta during the Great Calamity, Mipha swam through the Lanayru Wetlands and up Zora River.[84] By the time she arrived, Vah Ruta had already been overtaken by Waterblight Ganon.[85] Mipha was defeated and killed while fighting Waterblight Ganon.[86][87][88]

While mourning Mipha, the Zora attempted to send the Lightscale Trident down the Zora River, hoping it would allow her soul to rest.[89] When they did, the Trident began to glow, and Mipha's voice was heard.[90] She told them to stop grieving and crying over her, instead, they should focus on remembering.[91] Due to this, the Zora began to celebrate the Champion Festival on the anniversary of the Great Calamity.[92] Mipha's Statue was also erected in her honor in the Zora's Domain Square.[93] Since her death during the Great Calamity, Mipha's spirit has been trapped within Divine Beast Vah Ruta.
