Despite all signs pointing to her return, Fi's absence in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom begs the question of how long the series can go on until it gives her the opportunity to bring some closure to The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Though she remains as arguably one of Zelda's more controversial characters, the significance Skyward Sword has for the series' canon and Fi's relationship to the Master Sword often leads to speculation about her possible return in a future game. Among other factors, this is likely what prompted fans to suspect Fi might return in Tears of the Kingdom.
