Urbosa (Japanese: ウルボザ, Hepburn: Uruboza) is a fictional character from Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda series. She first appeared as one of the major characters in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, where she is the leader of the Gerudo and one of the four Champions who helped Princess Zelda and Link protect Hyrule from Calamity Ganon, losing her life in the process. She also appears in the hack-and-slash video game Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity as a playable character.
Within the game, Urbosa is the pilot of Divine Beast Vah Naboris, one of the four Divine Beasts that the Champions used to protect Hyrule from Calamity Ganon. Like the other Champions, Urbosa has a unique skill that is used in gameplay, which is the ability to control the power of lightning. She has been positively received by both fans and critics due to her heroic, wise, and charismatic character. She was identified as both a fan favorite and a standout character in the cast, with multiple critics expressing a desire to see her in more games, such as the Super Smash Bros. series and her own game.
