So having a female lead means being woke now?

Yeah, that's silly. I actually wouldn't mind seeing translink, Linkle, show up as a character in a future game. Currently they are non-canon because they were part of that fighting game but there was talk about making her canon at some point. She's kind of cute and I think it would work.

Link

I guess I should be clear that it's not like Link is getting HRT or anything like that. But just as a side character or additional character to a game. Or maybe some weird alternate universe. I know they mentioned that she was popular enough that they were considering putting her in a mainstream game at some point.

Nah it is always The Legend of Zelda because the Legend is retold by the Royal family across Generations and all traces back to the Goddess Hylia. Hyrule and Hylians are all descended from Hylia when she chose Mortality.

Prior to Skyward Sword the name was chosen because it sounds better and in 90% of all Zelda games, Princess Zelda, usually plays a pivotal role whther as a deutergonist, damsel in distress or is important to seal evil away as a direct descendant from the bloodline of Hylia(per Skyward Sword origins).

How about. The Legend of Ta & Tas ….

Metacritic comparison for anyone interested:

11. Phantom Hourglass (90)
14. Spirit Tracks (87)

I would expect a score around here, since it feels like a Phantom Hourglass / Spirit Tracks kind of spinoff. Maybe even not as inventive as those, so a bit lower.

So not even Nintendo is immune from the woke mind virus. Kidding.

This game is a delight. Had some frustration with the echo menus, and to be fair, I still hate it…but I’ve gotten used to it enough to really enjoy the game. Truly a great classic style Zelda game with a fresh gameplay twist. So far the dungeons have been really enjoyable and while there are far too many useless echoes, there are some really unique and fun ones. Honestly, it’s not perfect but I really enjoy the echo system far more than crafting in TotK. In fact I think this is a better Zelda game than TotK. Shots fired.

Also Zelda’s little chibi character model is too adorable. Yas queen!
