Legend of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom introduced Sonia, the first Queen of Hyrule, and a talented cosplayer brought her to life. Elden_Cosplay, known as Hitomi_cosplay on Reddit, shared her Queen Sonia cosplay with the r/Zelda community, stating that the character had become one of her favorites. The cosplay community praised the detailed outfit and the makeup, highlighting the Triforce symbol on Queen Sonia's wrist.
Queen Sonia was a priestess before she met Rauru, the Zonai King, and founded Hyrule, becoming its first Queen. Though she wasn't present in Breath of the Wild, she played a significant role in Zelda's story in Tears Of The Kingdom. After finding Zelda unconscious in the forest, Queen Sonia took her in and taught her how to control time magic powers. While Zelda would ultimately become far more powerful, the two grew close, and Queen Sonia was fascinated by Zelda's stories from her time, including those about Link.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is the follow-up to Breath of the Wild, released in 2017. It is a direct sequel, which is rare in Zelda titles. In Tears of the Kingdom, Link explores the skies and learns about a mysterious kingdom in the clouds. While Zelda's time with Queen Sonia was explored in the game, fans are eager to learn more about Sonia's story and the founding of Hyrule.
