I thought Kat was your WAIFU

She would be upset to see you with another woman, a Hussy at that

I was looking for my waifu's photo.

My heroine

 

[IAmRei]

The version got, i think is the best. At least for me. And her EN voice is angelic <3

 

[Valt7786]

Yeah pixie cut Zelda is something we never need, ever.

 

[SlimySnake]

I like the version we got. The rest are too modern.

She is absolutely wonderful in the flashback memories. A massive improvement from the meak constantly on the verge of crying zelda in BOTW. She has agency and plays a pivotal role in the story. I fucking love the ending.

honestly didnt think a fucking zelda game would have the best story last year. (didnt play baldurs gate dont @ me.)

My heroine

Someone say HEROINE!?

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

She needs an under shave haircut, septum piercing, and a square jaw.

 

[Diddy X]

All but 5, 6 or 8

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

-Zelda-

 

[Gojiira]

Nice VA but boring design…Give us a Urbosa game instead

 

[AJUMP23]

Do Zelda in the style of deja thores and watch the internet weep.

a woman doesn’t need short hair to be a lead bigots.

 

[funking giblet]

Sorry Nintendo, we've decided that Link is officially a girl

Adjust your 1950s-era PR statements and internal development memos as appropriate. Print new editions of your ultra-important half page long Legend of Zelda lore pamphlets. All your Links are girls. All of them, from her landmark NES game onward. Thanks for understanding, Nintendo.

That guy can just GTFOH with that whole Zelda becoming the main character. What's wrong with these ppl.

Legend of Zelda is about Link rescuing a princess Zelda and getting master sword along the way. Everything else is just gravy. The end.

Good choice on avoiding the #8 Karen "I want to speak to your manager" special

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

My waifu is my heart

 

[Woopah]

If you look at only the capital letters it spells THIS IS A HINT....

She is my waifu

 

[nikos]

Those are some of the worst hair styles I've ever seen.

Can't consider AI diffusion Kat as waifu material. The art is soulless.

Seriously. I remember the first time I saw this idea posted on era. This was years ago. Probably right after the era people left here. And I thought to myself, why does Link need to be a chick or why would you play as Zelda. Then it's not Zelda.

After learning about what the purple site is I now understand.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

I like what we got, but haircut 7 looks fantastic. I like the pixie cut as well.

 

[FeralEcho]

Those are shitty "I'm a strong female character" hairstyles you see everywhere nowadays,boring as shit. I'm happy with the one they went with.

 

[digital_ghost]

Princess Zelda: Showtime

Need to see zelda in a bikini plz.

 

[Robb]

The only one I don’t like much is #6.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

The only one I don’t like much is #6.

Its more like the lesbian hair style.

How exactly is it "not Zelda" to be playing as the person literally named Zelda? Damsels in distresses aren't what come to my mind as what defines the series. The adventure, the exploration, the dungeons, the puzzles, the items, the NPCs, that's LoZ to me.

 

[TheUndeadGamer]

Some of those hairstyles look quite cute on her.
I really hope we get a Legend of Zelda game staring……well Zelda.

 

[Ikutachi]

It's about her butt.

 

[FoxMcChief]

It's about her butt.

As is life. It’s all about the butt.

 

[LakeOf9]

She’s very hot

I'd argue that along with those things you mentioned playing as Link to rescue Zelda is as much part of the series.

 

[Solarstrike]

 

[Krappadizzle]

I'm not adverse to Zelda being a playable character in a game, but I'd much prefer Link as the main character. Gimme a co-op game with the two...That'd a fun way to shake up the formula.

 

[Shadowplay1979]

Eh the game design was the best one. Ive made better zelda designs using ...sadly using ai. Having zelda just be a cute princess that needs to be saved is pretty much the most revolutionary thing you can do with games these days.

 

[MAtgS]

I'd argue that along with those things you mentioned playing as Link to rescue Zelda is as much part of the series.

My first LoZ was Link's Awakening, there ain't no princess saving in that one and never needed it.

Dude, all totk Zelda does is stand around and cry before doing her big sacrifice that sidelines her for the rest of the game only in a much lamer and contrived way than it did the first time.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

She is the best

 

[captainpat]

Ugh, if we ever get a playable zelda in the mainline games I hope she still has long hair.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

I'm not adverse to Zelda being a playable character in a game, but I'd much prefer Link as the main character. Gimme a co-op game with the two...That'd a fun way to shake up the formula.

I love that game, because of the fact that Zelda is a controllable character, I always choose her.

 

[kiphalfton]

#6 looks like Ellen Paige before she became Elliot Paige.

Others look like hairstyles for middle age house wives.

 

[F0rneus]

That dude is a leaker. Now look the capitalized letters in the tweet...

 

[BlackTron]

I think we are Severely overdue for a game where zelda Is the main character.

Where is the Legend of Link, Nintendo

 

[Scotty W]

Y’all know Zelda doesn’t exist, right?

 

[BlackTron]

I'm not adverse to Zelda being a playable character in a game, but I'd much prefer Link as the main character. Gimme a co-op game with the two...That'd a fun way to shake up the formula.

I was hoping TOTK would have this when the reveal was Link and Zelda in a dungeon.

 

[RoadHazard]

Some of those haircuts are good, some are awful. I prefer TOTK Zelda. That general character design is the best Zelda ever (the same goes for Link and most other characters, they just nailed it).

 

[SirTerry-T]

I put it to you "PapaGenos", that you are in fact talking bollocks.

 

[cireza]

I love that game

Is that game actually playable ? I tried but couldn't see shit. Nintendo should have better standards.
