Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 - Playable Zelda?

you're not a zelda fan, get this gay anime shit away from my zelda games.

>what do you think about a playable Zelda
Shit.
How many games are there where you play as the boy saving the princess and kingdom.
Even if you change it "just" to a boy/girl selection or something, it will totally change the overall vibe of the game.

Seriously, how many games are left pandering to boys. Exploration, rescuing the girl and saving the day. Fuck playable zelda.

I agree with you in practice, but the Sheikah slate was always planned to be for Link according to the Monks per the revelation from the Goddess Hylia (pbuh).

Male Zelda is Sheik.

Nah, Zelda shouldn't use magic, since she had such issues with her powers in the flashbacks and then in the true end she says she can no longer hear Fi's voice, implying her powers have diminished again. Give her magitech instead, or runes for the Shiekah Slate in exchange if she's meant to be the magic user.

Link should be the more traditional magic user because he's got the new glowy arm instead of her.

was talkin about botw with some people today, dude says lol mipha is a fish how could there have been a thing between her and link?
>yeah haha that's so weird bro

My main point is that sword Zelda is a shitty idea. She would need to be mechanically distinct, possibly mechanically complimentary depending on if they'd be going for a co-op thing, otherwise there's no fucking point in adding a second character.

>playable female Link
I will singly handedly shoot up Nintendo headquarters if this is the case

I want dark Zelda to be my gf

Yeah it's very weird.

>adding more woman protagonists in gaming is pointless
That's a very problematic thing of you to say user

user, I completely agree with you here. Don't make Zelda just a palette swap for Link, and don't turn her into Linkette. Zelda and Link should play differently, but I think Zelda's strengths and powers should be based off her own interests instead of just traditional magic. BotW Zelda has never been good at magic and nearly drowned trying to awaken it before.

>BotW Zelda has never been good at magic
Disregarding the fact that by the end of the game she wields magic well enough to nuke Ganon, wouldn't her being bad at magic at the start actually serve as a good basis for learning skills and power ups and all that crap?

Not interested in playing as Zelda. Completely unnecessary.

This rumor goes way back to when this game was announced. I didn't like the idea then, and I don't like it now.

If it's going to be some kind of co-op game like Ico, it sounds like it would be too tiresome to keep up in another large open world Zelda game. When I'm exploring, I don't want to worry at all about someone who isn't the character I'm controlling following along. It has its place in gaming; Ico was a puzzle game and was great, but I'm leery about this, if true.

If it's something along the lines of choosing a character or switching between them during gameplay, Nintendo might be able to surprise us with something interesting. I'm not going to put bets on being able to pull it off well though. Think something along the lines of GTA V, except the characters here would be more mechanically driven. I could totally see Nintendo making it so that you have to visit places two times with both character to access everything or doing cute stuff like switching back and forth to solve puzzles.

Again, could it work? Maybe. I have my doubts.

Sure, if done traditionally. However, this Zelda has never been all too INTERESTED in magic at all, preferring to work on the Divine Beasts and the Guardians instead. She's a scholar, not a sorcerer, and her chosen field is ancient magitech. She also says in the true ending that she's fine with her power dwindling down to nothing again, since it was power borne of necessity that stressed her out for years.

zelda and link both used swords in hyrule warriors but they had distinct movesets. link was more unga bunga cave man mode while zelda did fancy rapier stuff.

Fair enough, I can see your point. At the end of the day I'd just rather a playable Zelda be anything but a Link-alike, because even at this point despite it not having happened yet the concept already feels played out and dull. Oh, the guy I move around and hit things over the head with has tits now. So interesting

Half as Cool as Fate, Bleach, Kimetsu stitched together?

I would accuse this of Rey effect, if it was official.

Who would make this cringy anime shit. And i kinda *like* anime

Zelda can't do that.

What the flying fuck is this?!? Naruto?!?

>the duality of man

I feel there are rumours of playable zelda before every zelda release.

Ahem
