It is the oldest mistake in the world: assuming that the protagonist of ‘The Legend of Zelda’ is called Zelda. However, the truth is that from its beginning in NES in 1986 until now, we have never been able to control the princess beyond titles like ‘Super Smash Bros‘, the failed horrors of CD-i or ‘Hyrule warriors’. However, only one game in the main saga gave you the honor of being able to control the princess, and it can’t be said that in ‘Spirit tracks’ it went beyond being an anecdote. However, that is about to change.
You have to wash yourself, don’t be lazy
Eiji Aonuma, who has been in charge of the saga since ‘Ocarina of Time’, is always looking for a way to innovate in ‘Zelda‘ and in an interview with IGN he has stated that anything is possible: “Link has always been the main character, and Zelda has been in the middle, they have a relationship and their own rules in each of the games”. Is there a catch? Of course.
“But it is true that I believe that you can always think about these kinds of things and the role of Zelda. And there may be the possibility of something similar in the future. Maybe. Maybe, maybe”. Perhaps after the ‘Zelda’ movie or after the new games in the franchise, away from the ‘Tears of the Kingdom‘ scheme, make their appearance, we can finally see what kind of gameplay the good princess could have.
If you have played ‘Tears of the Kingdom’, precisely, you will know that Zelda has a very important presence in the game, but she never becomes the main character. If Peach has had the opportunity to play alongside Mario and company, when will it be the moment for Hyrule to be saved by a female hand?
