You can’t play as Zelda in Tears of the Kingdom, but you might be able to in the sequel

As a lot as followers may need her to be, Zelda is sadly not playable in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – however that does not imply she will not be in a future recreation.

Just about for the reason that very first teaser trailer for Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, followers have been speculating over whether or not Zelda herself will truly be playable in a primary collection recreation. The most important piece of proof for her being playable was a easy factor: she had a haircut (brief hair means it would not clip by way of her physique). This wasn’t helped by the truth that Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma acted oddly coy about whether or not or not she can be playable. Sadly for these hopeful she can be, she is in truth not playable. However Aonuma mentioned that does not imply she will not be in a distinct recreation.

Talking with Self-importance Truthful concerning the recreation, Aonuma shared his perspective on the opportunity of making Zelda a playable character. “We really feel like what takes most precedence is this concept of gameplay,” Aonuma mentioned. “If it seems that the actual gameplay we’re attempting to carry to fruition can be finest served by having Zelda take that position, then it’s potential that that could possibly be a route we may take. With that mentioned, after all, as a result of we’re not positive what the subsequent gameplay expertise goes to be, we will’t say what Zelda’s subsequent step goes to be.”

Clearly this is not an outright affirmation that she will likely be playable within the subsequent recreation, and even any recreation after that, however it no less than means Nintendo is open to the thought. This is a little bit recommendation from me to you Nintendo: it is best to do it. She’s arguably the primary character of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, however she deserves the total Zelda expertise – it is her identify on the dang field in spite of everything!
