Appearances.
"The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild".
Urbosa appears in "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" as one of its major characters. She is one of five Champions - including Link, Mipha, Revali, and Daruk - who are tasked with helping protect Hyrule and Princess Zelda from Calamity Ganon. She commanded the Divine Beast Vah Naboris, an ancient technology, but Calamity Ganon managed to take control of it and other Divine Beasts, resulting in the death of her and the other Champions with the exception of Link, who was put in a 100-year slumber. When Link awakens, he can go to Naboris to try and tame it, and there he meets Urbosa, who helps guide him in the innards of the Beast.
"Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity".
She reappears in the prequel for "Breath of the Wild", "", which takes place in an alternate timeline created when Terrako, a small Guardian that Zelda built in her childhood, time-travels into the past to prevent Hyrule's fate in the "Breath of the Wild" timeline. Urbosa arrives home to Gerudo Town just as Master Kohga, leader of the Yiga Clan, was about to strike down Zelda while disguised as Urbosa, only to be electrocuted into submission by Urbosa herself. Though Kohga later escapes thanks to his right-hand Sooga, Urbosa, due to her close friendship with Zelda, having been on very good terms with Zelda's late mother, the Queen of Hyrule, agrees to pilot Vah Naboris against the Calamity, seeing Ganon as a slur on the Gerudo name and insult to their honor as proud warriors. After Zelda and Link gather the other Champions in Revali, Daruk, and Princess Mipha, they travel to the Korok Forest to meet with the Great Deku Tree and recover the Master Sword, encountering Astor, the seer siding with the Yiga and Calamity Ganon. After recovering the Master Sword and heading back to Hyrule Castle, when Zelda voices her concern about Link changing after getting the Blade of Evil's Bane, Urbosa acts as a voice of comfort for her, assuring her Link is still the same boy who served in the Hyrulean Army before acquiring the Master Sword. Urbosa is then dubbed the Gerudo Champion and attains her Champion attire, before learning more about the Sheikah Towers with Link and Zelda through Purah, and returning to pilot Vah Naboris to locate the Yiga Clan's hideout through them. Though Kohga and Sooga escape again, Urbosa returns to Gerudo Town to prepare for the Calamity's return as King Rhoam orders the civilians to evacuate before they become casualties when Calamity Ganon arrives and has the soldiers that are evacuated as well transferred to Hyrule's two main strongholds, Akkala Citadel and Fort Hateno, to reinforce the garrisons there.
When Calamity Ganon finally awakens, Urbosa is cut off from the other Champions and Hyrule Castle when Ganon shuts down the Sheikah Towers' teleportation ability, and soon finds herself fighting a stronger Thunderblight Ganon sent to take over Vah Naboris from her. Before she can be killed by the Blight Ganon like in the original timeline, she is saved by Riju and Patricia, summoned from the future by Terrako to protect Urbosa until Link arrives to aid them in destroying Thunderblight Ganon, keeping Vah Naboris under Urbosa's control. Joined by the other Champions and their Divine Beasts after they too were saved by the future Champions, they protect Akkala Citadel and Fort Hateno from the Calamity's forces, saving the Hyrulean Army in the process, and then defend the Great Plateau, where King Rhoam is revealed to have survived as well. After Purah summons Urbosa's Gerudo warrior women to bolster the Hyrulean Army with the Rito, Gorons, and Zoras, along with a reformed Master Kohga and the Yiga Clan, Zelda leads the full-scale assault to reclaim Hyrule Castle from the Calamity. Urbosa helps defeat Astor and the Harbinger Ganon, that timeline's Terrako possessed by Malice from the future, before then facing Calamity Ganon manifested from using Astor and the Harbinger to make a new body for itself. After the future Terrako sacrifices itself to weaken Calamity Ganon, Link delivers the finishing blow with the Master Sword, while Zelda uses her awakened power from the Triforce to seal Calamity Ganon away for good, winning the war in Hyrule's favor. Afterwards, Urbosa bids Riju and Patricia goodbye as, with their job done, they are returned to their own timeline with Yunobo, Sidon, and Teba, before Robbie and Purah are then able to rebuild Terrako and reunite him with Zelda.
