We are all waiting for the arrival of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 (There are already some juicy leaks) to be able to get back into Hyrule and, it seems, this time we will be able to alternate between Link and Princess Zelda as characters to play. Although a server feels like it is high time that Zelda is the only protagonist of at least one game in her saga, without the need to have Link as a partner.
Don't get me wrongI'm not saying that Link has to disappear from the face of the earth, what's more, for nothing in the world would I want something like this to happen. But according to him he has had the opportunity to Accompany us by Hyrule over the years aloneI personally would like to do the same with Princess Zelda. And is that this character is one of the most charismatic and mystical
If we look back, we will realize that Princess Zelda knows how to handle the sword (in your case a rapier), you have access to time management and resurrection and also at very powerful levels of magic as she is “the emissary” of the Goddess Hylia, creator of life. If these are not compelling reasons to create a quality playable protagonistWe do not know what else would be necessary to achieve this.
Zelda, a warrior princess with great power
It's hard to decide what it would be like a Princess Zelda adventure through Hyrulebut I wouldn't put it on paper where I have to escape evil, but in the tessitura of save herself and Hyrule. Something similar to what you try to do in Breath of the Wild, but without limiting it to contain Ganondorf.
In fact, Zelda owns the Triforce of Wisdom partSo his role in restoring Hyrule's balance would be more than justified (the same as Link who only possesses the Triforce of Valor). It seems to me that an adventure with Zelda in the role of a warrior princess It would be the most interesting thing that could be done in the saga, not only renewing the gameplay, but giving a turn to the point of view from which the story is told
Without going further, a fight between Zelda and Ganondorf It could be really shocking and full of both magic and devastating attacks, almost as if we would drive a Galadriel, but in its version of Hyrule. This journey would not only serve to defeat evil; we could also delve into the lore of the saga with more details on the role of the Hyrule Royal Family and, specifically, in the responsibilities that become the princess for her goddess conditions on earth.
For me Zelda is a character full of mysteries that he would like to solve and that would be achieved through a solo role and protagonist in a installment of The Legend of Zelda, building piece by piece the puzzle that “hides” the princess's secrets.
An off-road character that would wipe out gameplay
Without a doubt, the Princess of Hyrule would have an intense application for a truly varied gameplayWell, if we remember, Zelda has an alter-ego called Sheik what's wrong with it the skills of a ninja, so it could not only attack, but also confuse, surprise or enter stealth mode after slipping through the shadows.
I am one of the unconditional fans of the saga who believes that a well thought out game with Zelda as the protagonist it would be a resounding success, especially if Nintendo puts all the meat on the grill and gives it a potential similar to that of heroines like Lara Croft, Aloy from Zero Dawn or even the Half-Genius Shantae.
Surely many of you do not agree with this premise, some because you don't want anything to change in The Legend of Zelda (if it works, why touch it, no?), others because you prefer that Link hold your hero position and secondary character Zelda and others because they just Zelda doesn't interest you as a character. Well, I will tell you all that a Zelda as the protagonist it would not remove one iota of quality to the saga or the specific title, as long as it is done with the same care and care That so far.
Breath of the Wild 2: a turning point for Zelda?
