Here are my revisions.
Zelda is from a world that floats happily in the sky above the once prosperous kingdom of Hyrule, known as Skyloft. She is the only daughter to the village Chief, aiding when needed to help the citizens of Skyloft. She has since been learning to become a leader for her people, using the teachings of the village to be more like the Goddess Hylia that they praise. Even with her responsibilities she is able to smile and be a teenager with her friends, especially when it comes to teasing her childhood friend Link.
It is very clear from the start of the game that Zelda has some manner of feelings for Link, a boy who was studying to be one of the knights at the Academy her Father oversees. Zelda taunts and teases him with glee, even going so far as to wake him up when he’s overslept and forcing him to be responsible while others take no notice. The morning of the Wing Ceremony, Zelda sends her Loftwing to wake up Link, knowing that he was still in bed. This shows that Zelda is very attentive and that she keeps a close eye on those she cares about, but that she is also resourceful and also a bit of a practical joker. Several times after that we see Zelda tease Link during their morning routine, obviously flirting with him but also to try and set him right on preparing for his race. This properly shows that Zelda does care for him in a capacity that could be identified as being much more than friends, and that she isn’t afraid of being herself around the people she cares about.
Zelda also has a motherly attitude about things, as seen by how she treats her Father and in how she keeps Link accountable for things. It also reflects her gentle nature in how she is with not only the people she knows, but her Loftwing and the animals she encounters during her travels around the world below. When Groose begins bullying Link at the beginning of the race, Zelda is quick to step in and scold the brute without so much as batting an eye. It shows that even in the face of opposition, Zelda stands her ground and defends what is important to her. When her Father begins trying to recollect what is needed for the Ceremony, Zelda is quick to keep her Father focused as well as helping to jog his memory by being stern.
Though Zelda can be quite girly or flirty at times, she is also very strong and she doesn’t sacrifice one feminine trait to be taken seriously. Every part of her personality and appearance are significant and no part of her is more prevalent than the other, showing that she is very much a well-rounded and strengthened woman. For as much as Zelda is able to be gentle, compassionate, and kind, she can also easily turn around and be forceful and stubborn. When her Father tells her that he believes that she is being too hard on Link for sleeping in, Zelda is quick to cross her arms and give her Father a mouthful in order to prove that she is right. To do such a thing to a village Chief and a Headmaster is very impressive and shows her gumption.
She constantly faces choices that show her amazing strength and diligence. After being swept away from the land of Skyloft to the world below, Zelda doesn’t run away from the responsibilities thrust at her. Though it was difficult to hear everything from Impa, Zelda sought to fight the darkness even if it meant peril or death. It was sometimes painful to see Link travel and fight on his own, as their paths seldom crossed. This shows that Zelda has a strong resolve and a sense of ethics. She can distinguish between the greater good and her own desires.
Her knowledge and experiences are vast but she still holds on to her youthful attitude and innocence, even when the weight of the world is put upon her shoulders. When she is told that she is the reincarnation of the Goddess Hylia, Zelda does not seem to break mentally or try to deny what has been told to her. Instead, she takes up the charge and pushes forward. Throughout her journey she is tested this way but she doesn’t lose her hopes and dreams. She has a strong sense of faith in the people around her, even if she still worries about them. Though she knows Link very well to be a lazy sort of Knight, she still does her best to focus on her own tasks while putting faith in the hope that Link will become the Hero she believes him to be.
Zelda’s vast knowledge doesn’t just come from the power of the Triforce that her soul bears. It comes from the teachings of her Father, her ability to listen and understand, and her ability to quickly comprehend the things she faces that she would otherwise have no experience with. She remains calm and level headed during her trials so that she can make the wisest decision possible, even if it is a choice that pains her. She stands by her choices because she believes them to be the right option. This is seen as she leads Link through his journey, giving him her most treasured Harp and knowing that he as the Hero will know what to do with it when the time was right.
When Zelda first discovered the details of her past life, she was reluctant to accept them as fact. We see this during her time explaining to Link just before she seals herself away to protect her powers. During these flashbacks of her time spent with Impa, Zelda's usual cool-headed demeanor is flipped upside when the responsibility of the world as well as the gravity of her situation is put upon her. However, this situation further proves how solid her resolve and sense of responsibility are in that she doesn't turn away from the revelation. Though it pains her to not be able to stand by Link in his time of need, given how her own Father says during the beginning of the game that she's "a whole different person when she worries about Link", this further strengthens her so that she's able to go from temple to temple in order to complete her tasks as given to her by Impa.
The flow of memories does knock her askew a bit, but it doesn't totally pluck her from her willpower or wisdom, unlike how she was swept up by the cyclone on Skyloft. When she slowly comes to learn of her past, it does worry her that she might not be the person who she thought she was growing up in Skyloft, but finding out that Link is the Chosen Hero helps to remind her that she has always thought well of Link even before knowing that she was Hylia. When she's freed from the crystal-state, Zelda realizes that being a Goddess has not changed who she is to Link, and that she is still the same girl who befriended him during their years above the clouds. This shows that Zelda can at times have doubt, but ultimately a friendly reminder will always help her back on her feet.
