    Playable Zelda has been in my top list of desires for the Zelda series since I was a kid, this is nonsense drivel.

      Same. Although it turned into make Link female over time and then don’t gender Link in game and keep the character andro. I stand by that but there’s still room for a fame starring Zelda and this looks like it’s gonna be pretty damn fun as well

        It’s the toy looking aesthetic they used in the Link’s Awakening remake a few years ago. It worked for me with that game, but the orchestrated arrangements of songs I used to hear so much on my brick Gameboy might have helped in selling it.

        Half agree there, I wanted a full zelda game, but I’m spinoff pilled and think a lot of the best ideas Nintendo actually implements are in spinoffs these days, mainline games are generally too “safe” even if they are polished

        It reminds me of how they handled Princess Peach Showtime. The game was clearly aimed at children, which is good of course, but it felt like it could have been more complex. It’s just that they will only make one game and then revisit her only in that format.

        I’d have loved to see a Zelda- focused game that had the ambition of Breath of the Wild.

        Just feels like a concession to give detractors an example so the woke would stop complaining.

    Shoving the criticism of “woke” down everyone’s throats more than actual the “woke” stuff that you claim is being crammed down everyone’s throats

      Yeah, like the plot always depends on Zelda’s magic, so while she’s not the playable hero and needs Link’s help damzel in distress doesn’t seem accurate. I mean in TOTK

      spoiler

      Zelda literally turned into a giant light dragon and travelled back in time to restore the master sword lol.

        She’s a cool ninja and leader of the Sages in OoT
        She’s a cool pirate and helps fights Ganondorf with Link in WW
        She is basically organizing a covert resistance from her castle in Twilight Princess and also helps fight Ganondorf.
        In Skyward Sword she holds a magical seal in place for a thousand years.

      Since the first game. She was the one that hid the Triforce pieces in all of the dungeons behind all the locked doors and monsters and puzzles that kick Link’s ass, then got caught by Ganon, but only after sending Impa to get some help

    See, that last comment is precisely why when YouTube suggests shit like this, I don’t go to the comments to tell them how ridiculous they are. I just tap the “don’t recommend channel” button. Engagement just makes the algorithm promote the channel even more.

      That also tells the algorithm to promote the channel more. You engaged by pressing the DO NOT LIKE EVER button. It’s controversial now. You’ll never see it again, but Advertisers are now interested.

      Fuck this straight Earth.
