How about a Zelda game revolving around Zelda herself?

Tingle got one. I didn't like this idea at first, but kinda how Tingle's game wasn't like the rest, this one would differ greatly as well.

How about this: It would feature Zelda (same Zelda from TP) performing her duties as Princess. Also, action segments would include Zelda leading her army in Dynasty Warrior's style warfare. Link would appear and have his own, mostly average "Zelda" segments upon request of Zelda (investigating, ect.).

So, add to my idea or critique it and discuss.

A political intrigue simulator based on the Hyrulian Royal Family and court would be pretty cool, actually.

Are you implying Zelda is too weak to pick up a sword? -CSM

I don't think a Hyrulian army simulator would be much fun, seeing as they are usually laughably incompetent.

(10,000 Hyrulian Soldiers attack a Rabbit! ... ... 9,991 Hyrulian Casualties!)

I wouldn't mind a game featuring a different or multiple playable characters, though.

Old Man should be playable. He can wield the bonfire.

You mean the guy in the green garbs? That's Link, Kenny! Zelda is actually the Princess.

The two posts before this one are artistic: there are clear parallels detected between the two members Kenny and Kevrosini. No, really. This is pretty cool. I salute both of you.

Well, obviously the way I see it there seems to be a slight misunderstanding. And I'll most definitely admit that I'm not very knowledgeable with the Zelda series... my bad I guess! Therefore, In future, I shall certainly keep out of topics such as this!!

^Kenny was just joking based on a common misconception that many first-time Zelda players succumb to. No need to leave the topic...you just didn't get the joke.

I'll imply it if no one else wants to. (Because she's a royal, mind you, not because she's a woman. Although that's probably part of it, too.)

Saying the Hylian Army is incompetent is kind of meritless. All we're seeing in the games is your palace guards and such, and, to be honest, I don't think I'd put the finest warriors in the land on guard detail if I were King.

'Dynasty Warriors' is a terrific game series. A mash-up with 'Zelda' would be odd, but I can see it working, as long as they cared more about making it good than fan-service.

Didn't Zelda wield a sword in some character art before TP came out?

Kargath has the right idea, but I wanna put an emphasis on Link's role. Let's say another region has an item of importance which Zelda requires. Link could infiltrate the hostile area, like the sneaking segments in WW and OoT. Or he could also take out sinister villains behind the scenes as Zelda wages her political warfare. She would also be responsible for Hyrule, SimCity-style.

Btw, I also thought Link was Zelda at first.

Me: what are you guys pwaying[at recess]?
Girl: we're pwaying zwelda
Me: can i be zwelda
girl: no, i am zwelda
me: zwelda is a boy!
girl: no, zwelda is a princess
Me: omg, Zelda is a girl!


Also, I wasn't making fun of you, Kev, if that's what you're thinking. I just there were some cool parallels there. (ie: kev the knowing, kenny the asker) Though, I'm not sure if that's a parallel, or just me making stuff up.

Also also, yes, there was concept art of her with a sword. A similar sword is used by her when she's possessed by Ganondorf. Not sure where s/he suddenly pulled it out from.
