Purah (Japanese: プルア, Hepburn: Purua) is a character in Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda series. She originally appeared in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, where despite being elderly she appears as a young girl due to a science mishap. A young adult version of Purah is depicted in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, which is set 100 years before Breath of the Wild. She appears as this age once again in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, having aged herself up since Breath of the Wild. In Japanese, she is voiced by Ayano Shibuya, while in English she is voiced by Kate Higgins.
Purah's appearance in Tears of the Kingdom received significant praise, with several media outlets voicing approval of her redesign in comparison to her child-like appearance in Breath of the Wild. Many reactions from media outlets and fans alike voice approval for her attractiveness in this new iteration. Purah was often sexualized by the latter, with searches on PornHub for content related to the character rising dramatically after the game's release. Additional praise was given for the character's expanded role in Tears of the Kingdom, and how she was an integral part of the game's story and a driving force for its narrative.
