omg i didn't hear it until I saw your comment. it's adorable!

your so real for that

@@MissKyliee I noticed Zelda makes different noises when she does things (like picking up and throwing the rock). I suppose we'll learn who is the voice actress later but I hope she had fun doing all these cute sounds for Zelda.

Right? They put so much care around how she'd be played and it makes the gameplay really unique. Love it :)

Do you mean: The CDI games?

And I feel like this is the perfect way to introduce the freeform gameplay they introduced in BotW and TotK. Zelda "spinoffs" could use this idea of gameplay and the "traditional" top down LoZ games continue with Link as protagonist. We all win!

I hope they make a Gannon playable game now.

It is, yea? How they can come up with new stuffs everytime is mindblowing.

thank you!!!!!!

ZELINK FOREVER

right?!

One more zelda game I refuse to play

@@xtreme3353your loss and no one else’s😂

@@mattboyko09 not a loss for me but I'm glad you'll enjoy it

CDi games exist too ;)

DUDE!! SAME! I still see things people are creating from botw/totk... it was one of my favorite things about the game. Legit just seeing what ppl do with it. Can't wait to see what they do with this one

aww thank you!!! I'M SO EXCITEDDDDDDDDDD

Necromancer Zelda absolutely

ARISE!

😂 I like the same addition

Aw shuckssss

I love this, but I'd also like a game where you could switch between Zelda and Link, depending on each having vital skillsets for different situations. There are so many different concepts and gameplay styles I'd love for them to explore in a Zelda title

"How soon we forget" its only been several DECADES... of trying to forget that even existed.

As we should.

# 0001 That world is under new management, run by one Princess Arzette now.

Thank you Tim!

I'M SO HAPPY FOR US!!!

@@MissKyliee GIRL SAME SAMEEE WE'RE EATINN. I'm also so glad that Nintendo is still doing 2D Zelda games too. I had this irrational fear that they would drop it after the success of Breath and Tears :,)

AGREED!!!

YES!! LET'S GO!!

Thanks Bri!! :)

yay!

ReDeads are literally the worst

i'm really sorry to hear that :(

@@MissKyliee its okay, he was not well for a while, we just didnt really understand how unwell, he didnt want us to worry.

YAA!!

Thank you! :)

I’m going to assume 2 max 3 maybeeeee

HAHA NOOOOO

It should have been "The Legend of Link"

リンクを守ってくれるからゼルダ姫

It's felt like they've been toying with but backing away from ideas for non-Link gameplay for so long now. I mean, if the franchise were any sort of JRPG type of series then characters like TotK's sages or BotW's champions or SS's Knight Academy students or TP's Resistance members all would've been party members joining you on your journey, but the Zelda games haven't been that type of series and Nintendo has held back and kept them as sidelined support characters. This even goes back to MM as well with the three spirits who enable the three transformation masks featured throughout the game. Those could've been written in as party members but the "lone hero" concept made skinsuits out of them instead to keep the focus on Link. And many have fantasized about what could have been if OoT Zelda's time as Sheik could have been playable. Some might try to imagine what a side story from TotK Zelda's perspective could've been like as well. In both cases, Zelda's exploits are kept offscreen and recapped in cutscenes / dialogue. And one of the Oracles games (Ages, I think?) had that character Ralph who was running around on his own adventure offscreen somewhere the whole time we were running around but it's unclear (or I just forget any specifics that got mentioned) what he was ever accomplishing on his side of things. TWW had a couple characters that were temporary companions for just one dungeon each using that command song to swap control to them. Zelda in ST was a kinda similar concept whenever there was a Phantom in a dungeon for her spirit to possess, but then those moments are the kind of gameplay you'd expect from those hulking tin cans (not the kind of gameplay you'd imagine from a Zelda)... so does it really count? It could be good for the series that they're taking a chance here to take a step back and imagine how a Zelda would have to get by in a leading role. Conceptually we've got this loose idea in the franchise that courage, wisdom, and power are these three different strategies for solving problems / overcoming obstacles. They aren't mutually exclusive of course. Some Links have dabbled in what probably ought to be considered wisdom and power tactics (one way of looking at power could be the concept of "might makes right", it's what had the Bulbins in TP acting as muscle for Zant/Ganon and getting out of Link's way when he proved himself to them in combat against their king, and it's also the concept that endears Link to the Gorons in TP after some iron boots assisted trial by sumo as well) instead of sticking with something that could be called courage and only courage, and Ganon has sometimes tried a bit of strategy / mind games to outmaneuver opponents instead of always being the "every hammer is a key" sort of problem solver (although I think that was Koume and Kotake masterminding his deceptions for him in the events of OoT?), and there's also that idea that somebody needs to value all three approaches in balance with each other to earn a wish from the full power of the Triforce. But still, we've had the entire history of the series so far built primarily around just one side of that trio. Fleshing out the distinctions between the three approaches better could lead to new ideas later on in other Zelda games after this. Who knows, perhaps in the future they might have the nerve to conceive of a game where the player can swap between three heroes and each brings their own unique twist to the gameplay, or more heroes than that with them sorted into three categories. Each with their own signature weapon and their own set of tools to aid them. Which types of moves are most distinctly what the courage style should value most? Which are wisdom? Which are power? Distinguish those better and that can become the basis for "if we put characters like Link, Zelda, and a champions/sages type of cast together as equals in the spotlight, what can they each be able to do (and not be able to do) to really set them all apart from each other in terms of gameplay? What gets shared only between members of the same side of the triad? What gets shared between the whole crew? Which parts are truly unique to each character on their own?"

@@MuljoStpho A Link and Zelda cooperative game (kind of like Peter Parker and Miles Morales in the Spider-Man franchise) would be pretty cool in Breath of the Wild/Tears of Kingdom world. You would have to play as Link or Zelda for specific missions or choose and swap out the characters in order to or better solve a dungeon, boss, enemy, puzzle etc.... throughout the game. Lots of potential - Zelda is so popular as a character I'm surprised it took so long. Mario has had Luigi forever now.

Really? Why? I most likely won't play it. It doesn't seem fun. You can't just change the rules of a zelda and expect it to be fun.

@@xtreme3353 Have you not played more than one Zelda game before? The "rules", whatever those are, are constantly changing and evolving, even if a little. That said, if it's not for you, it's not for you, and that's okay. The people who want to enjoy it and be excited for it, will. (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ Also, you're responding to someone who's favorite game is Zelda II, so I'm definitely _all_ about the changing of the expected. ಠ‿ಠ

@@JaredSchmidt I mean like ie link is always the main protagonist. Not like minor semantics like what you're talking about.

ok but she is the main character in this one :)

Baby gonna cry? 😢

Well it is called the Legend of Zelda so to have at least one game starring her instead of Link makes sense.

yup :)

Couldn't agree more! There's only 29 Zelda games where Link is the hero. This one DEFINTELY robs Link of his purpose!

This is loser talk.

This is the reason why i don't like Zelda fanbase, one of the most old fashioned, stuck up and regresive that exist in videogames.

@@regionalflyer Link is supposed to be the hero in all of them. This is his series. We don't know what will happen moving forward

@@MatthewAvalos1 Can you explain why?
