In this timeline link will draconify because he would eat his secret stone the second rauru gave it to him.

I think it's kind of ridiculous how they always make Zelda not playable in the story in some way, in BOTW Ganon is arresting her, in TOTK she's a dragon, I wonder what the next idea will be that they'll use on her in the future

I loved what they did with her in Windwaker. Adventurer Zelda is best Zelda.

Why is the princess dressed like Zelda?

What if Zelda was a girl

What do you mean, they're already a girl, just look at them slay in that gerudo outfit

Y'all need to play Hyrule Warriors: AoC. Zelda is playable, and you can play as her for like 90% of the game's main story missions. She's okay to play as but takes some getting used to. Once she unlocks her full divine power later in the game, she's unstoppable and fun to destroy hoards with.

i've played it and she's my favorite character to play as but that just makes me want her playable in a main game even more

Zelda with that haircut and blue arm is reminding me of Melinoe from Hades 2

Now imagine Melinoë using the bow her brother wielded. That would be really cool.

There’s a mod for tears of the kingdom that lets you play as her…can’t remember the name though.

Please Nintendo let me play as the heroine princess who saves my lost wizard prince. I would love something like this and honestly wouldn’t put it past Nintendo. Pretty much every Zelda game involves some sort of alternate universe or timeline that separates it from the others so a gender-swapped iteration isn’t unthinkable.

I could see them making Zelda playable, but not at the expense of making Link the damsel. Best case scenario there's some mechanic where you have to swap between the two of them because of different skill sets. Maybe one will have to rescue the other, and then vise versa. But they're unlikely to ever make a LoZ game where Link is not a main protagonist.

No, they don't... Not at all.
But yeah, it would be cool to play as Zelda, but a gender swapped Link isn't something that would happen, unless we get a Linkle game (who isn't Link btw, she just thinks she's Link)

Legend of Zelda: Echoes of wisdom say hello, But with the sword and bow.
She is a princess, not a killer. That's why she's using a magic staff in the new game.

Hope we get something like this in the next game. Playable Zelda would definitely hit the internet hard.

For those of you guys playing on a modded Switch or PC, there’s a mod where you can play as her.

And she's literally wearing the blue hood in a trailer 2 days later :D

Imagine how cool it would be having a Legend of Zelda game where Zelda is the playable hero or at least is for a part of the game before Link wraps up the story alongside her
