reasons why zelda should be playable: one is she's awesome two is that she's awesome three is that she is like, really awesome and really those are the only reasons you need but here's another, four is that, she's awesome!
No. It cannot be Zelda who is playable. If there were to be a playable female, you'd want someone original and who could offer a new gameplay dynamic, like a Shiek or a Gerudo. Not Zelda herself however. No. Something about the dignity and the LEGEND of Zelda would be lost if she was playable at this point.
Spirit Tracks Zelda: Guys, I had MY SOUL RIPPED FROM MY BODY and I still fought alongside my hero for 90% of his journey. I even gave him piggyback rides! Why do you guys keep forgetting me ? :'(
Yes Spirit Tracks Zelda is one the useful Zelda the second one is Twilight Princess because she shoots the lights arrow at Gannon so she does fight a little and third is Ocarina of time Because she gives you song to travel between areas and seals Gannon away with the 6 stages
@@Lady_ETHNE I never played wind waker so I don't know the ending I'm just saying what I played so far which is a lot the only one I never played is wind waker, phantom hourglass and tears of the kingdom
This is why Spirit tracks is one of my favorite Zelda titles. Instead of being the damsel in distress, she gets body-napped and decides that being a ghost is no excuse to be a slouch and helps link through the entire journey of getting her body back.
Joking aside, I'm glad BOTW and TOTK Zelda isn't just a damsel in distress this time around. She sealed Calamity Ganon for 100 years and helped Link fight it. In TOTK, she was sent more than 10,000 years into the past to fight Ganondorf and sacrificed herself to become a dragon just to return a fully healed/powered Master Sword in the present.
When was she ever "just" a Damsel in Distress? In Ocarina of Time she fought off evil as Sheik and locked Ganondorf away. in Twilight Princess she used a light bow to f up Ganondorf's s**t on horseback. And if I'm not mistaken in Wind Waker she personally helps you fight Ganondorf on the battlefield. 🤔
@@Vyz3r I didn't mean to cherry pick, those were just ones I've personally played. And do you mean Skyward Sword? I thought she played a pretty big role, she literally used her own power to forge the Master Sword. Without it Link would've been totally helpless against Demise. At least from the games I've played, it's been a pretty consistent team effort.
@@joytheloneshadowbat129 oh snap really? I never played that one. Yeah as far as I know she's always been a pretty serious character with the game even being named after her. I'd assume any limitations in her role was only due to hardware limitations rather than her being a princess or anything like that.
The only unrealistic part of this is Link feeling fear. Not only do his contraptions and mechanical monstrosities outmatch anything the Gods could throw at him, but his soul lacks the ability to fear
In Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, our Link showed initial fear but overcame quickly and pressed on. One just first be exposed to fear before knowing how to overcome fear.
This is a really cool animation! Zelda’s transformation scene at the end is absolutely gorgeous. I love the colors, movement, and expression. Your art is crazy good!
Would’ve loved it if we switched between playing as Zelda and Link in Tears of the Kingdom. Seeing everything that happened from her perspective would’ve been super interesting. And playing as her in THAT moment might’ve made me cry even more. This animation is beautiful ✨✨
Imagine if TotK was designed with Link and Zelda being a duo in mind (obviously literally everything about the game and lore would have to change to make it happen). Link could be the weapon's expert, being able to use any weapon (like he already can) and instead of having Zonai powers, he had skills and tools that could help him with exploring. Maybe he has a grappling hook, he is better at cooking so his meals heal more than when Zelda cooks, or he gets more materials when he beats enemies or breaks stuff? Stuff like that. Zelda on the other hand could be a mage, with her having Link's Zonai powers as her starting spells (along with one that actually does damage). Sidequests and Shrines could give her more spells. She would be better at making potions than Link and help decipher Zonai runes (which could help her unlock even more magic). Maybe some of her spells require materials to cast, sort of like with Link's arrows? Imagine the number of sidequests you could create by having the Queen of Hyrule by your side! (I know she still called princess but she's literally the only surviving member of the royal family. She may not have much power but it still makes her queen by default). Imagine how cool their dynamic would be! Zelda crafts weapons for Link, Link would gather materials for Zelda to use for potions and spells, and they use their abilities in tandem to explore the skies and the depths.
It’s really funny finding this video now after a playable Zelda game has been announced. Dude was right we need a playable Zelda game, and they are delivering
They’re not gone, they’ve just dwindled after a century without use. In TotK Sonia mentions that she can sense both her own Time power and Rauru’s Light power in Zelda, the latter of which is clearly her sealing power. So it’s still there, it’s just dormant until it manifests later in Zelda’s dragon form.
@@coryfreake9070except she can? Maybe not her holy powers, but in the cutscenes she demonstrates her ability to control time, I still think it would have been more interesting to give Zelda the time control ability in the past in order to help link in the future, I understand that the current game's mechanics wouldn't allow for that but I think that if it were it would be more interesting.
During the making of four swords: Mr. Aonuma: "We are going to make a multiplayer Zelda! Who should we make a character? Mr. Miyamoto: "Uhhhh...." Mr.Aonuma: "I was just thinking of cloning Link. You good with that?" Mr. Miyamoto: "Yeah."
Remember, never expect the expected. Anything is possible. Theoretically a 2 player game might be the starting ground, but both must have roles that clearly demonstrate one needs another in gameplay form. The only scenario that could be possible is when the old ways of playing Zelda games, with the hero doing all the rescue work, is no longer sustainable and Ganon would find an obvious weakness that allows Ganon to finally win over Link. Only then Zelda would somehow magically get involved to save Link and then they work together the whole time.
@@froggycolouring If you read the mangas and you definitely should, the mangaka is amazing, you would know that was the tactic in four swords. Purple Link, the logical side of the split hero, joined forces with Shadow Link and betrayed the other Links. It was a ruse though and he instead manipulated Shadow Link into betraying his creator Ganon.
We all know if Zelda was an extension of the player she would become the same unhinged monster that Link has turned into. Her announcing "Good!" over the bubbling corpse of her defeated foe would become canon real fast.
Aaaand thats why I LOVE both Hyrule Warriors games! Chose your weapon: -Rapier + Bow of Light -THE Wind Waker -Giant statues -Overclocked Switch -Light magic -A bike
Two options: 1. Tears of the Kingdom sequel multiplayer. One Link, one Zelda, two different skill wheels. 2. Shiek’s tale from OoT’s missing seven years as its own game.
Lore accurate Zelda would require the save game feature to only be allowed when you sleep at a bed. Why? Link has courage which is gained from autosave and manual save whenever you want, but Zelda is Wisdom. She should be able to see precise chances of victory, hidden enemies, and her combat style would relate more with planning than reflex and training. Also the idea that the triforce of courage enables the save feature makes way too much fucking lore sense.
Skyward sword she literally had a mission to purify her body so she could inherit the role of goddess Hylia and seal Demise away forever, and Link was kind of just running after her and serving as a long distance body guard. Twilight Princess she shoots the bow of light in your fight against Ganondorf. In Ocarina of Time she is Sheik, successfully hiding the Triforce of Wisdom from Ganon for 7 years. In Breath of the Wild, she literally keeps Ganon trapped, communicates with Link because she's busy being a 100+ year old baddie that still can keep a world ending calamity at bay, and in TOTK she sacrifices herself to restore Link's sword to its former glory by becoming a dragon and losing all her memories. Older titles like Spirit Tracks comes to mind where she literally travels with Link everywhere and helps him out. Wind Waker she helps you fight Ganondorf. Do I need to go on?
I agree zelda should be playable but for most of totk she is a dragon if u wanna fight gannondorf as zelda who is gonna be the light dragon if u fought as zelda it would be weird and nintendo has established that link is the mc so idk
Honestly I am greatly depressed that Zelda, The woman's freaking name on the title isn't a playable character. Don't get me wrong, Link has potential and always is saving the princess, But "Legend of Zelda" Tears of the Kingdom should had better content or "First Time ever." Zelda is finally a playable character.
I know Age of Calamity isnt considered canon, but it showed us how powerful zelda coukd be if se were a playable character! MAKE HER A PLAYABLE CHARACTERS PLSSSS
I'm totally down for a LoZ game with Zelda as the protagonist. Though, holding the triforce of wisdom rather than the triforce of courage, that particular game should really be a different genre.
Yes, give me a playable Zelda already! They already have some basic companion AI due to how the sages work. Just polish that a bit and we can get Link and Zelda traveling around together, fighting side by side.
reasons why zelda should be playable:
one is she's awesome
two is that she's awesome
three is that she is like, really awesome
and really those are the only reasons you need but here's another, four is that, she's awesome!
yes
Did you not hear about echoes of wisdom?

Courage is not the lack of fear, but the ability to overcome fear.
well nope actually--- courage is the act of being scared but still pushing through to do what's right.

AoC was a test run for playable Zelda.
They knew how op she would be and scrapped the idea.
Link burns down Hyrule
Zelda obliterates it
I love how Link does the Finn scream, I never realized how similar they were ngl
The Finn scream got me
Link, you must protect me!
Link, you must protect the triforce!
Link, you must find me!
Link, protect them all!
"Link, you must *protect yourself if you wish to survive."*

0:29 ok bro you didn't had to go that hard in this animation 😭👌
Dunno why the Game Grump audio was needed, but seeing her go super sayian was amazing!
Honestly, there shouldn't need to be a reason why. She just SHOULD be playable. Great animation btw, looking forward to the vid! 😄
It’s really funny finding this video now after a playable Zelda game has been announced. Dude was right we need a playable Zelda game, and they are delivering
"Lliiiiinnnnk, you must protect the triiiiiiiiiiiforceeeeeeeeeeeee, Link where you going? Wh- that's not where the triforce iiiiss."
"FINE." 💀💀💀💀
Zelda: Link, complete the triforce or I will make it the duoforce next incarnation
I could have sworn that Zeldas sacred powers were said to be gone.
Thought the same, that's why I never got the idea of her being playable in totk
They’re not gone, they’ve just dwindled after a century without use.
In TotK Sonia mentions that she can sense both her own Time power and Rauru’s Light power in Zelda, the latter of which is clearly her sealing power. So it’s still there, it’s just dormant until it manifests later in Zelda’s dragon form.

Zelda should have been playable since Ocarina of Time. Both that game and Tears of the Kingdom had the perfect setups for a playable Zelda.
The Finn scream😂
Tbf twilight princess Zelda wasn't a nag, and helped in the end. Spirit tracks Zelda was awesome, and in Wind Waker she did a bunch too.
She didn't only help in the end; TP Zelda also prevented Midna from dying. Her soul basically travels along with you for half the game.
