I’m glad Nintendo is finally starting to realize the potential of playable Zelda. Her style of gameplay will put a fresh new spin on the series. I also hope to see somewhere down the line a game where you can choose to play as either Zelda or Link and your choice will give you a different experience and cause puzzles to have different solutions, which would be good for a replay. Such a game would also have the potential for two-player co-op with vastly different abilities.
I like that they went with the Breath of the Wild approach of “Let’s just give the players everything and let them figure it out.” I hope that wand is just the cornerstone of gameplay though, I don’t think it can carry an entire game. I am a little worried that it’s all they showed, especially for combat.
I wish they would cut this stuff out. I want to go into a big temple, receive one new tool, solve a bunch of puzzles featuring that tool, and then beat the hell out of a large monster using that tool (and a sword).
Looks cool, and a major first letting players be Zelda
This isn’t the first game where you play as Zelda.

Wow, today I learned. Nintendo is pretty protective of its IP, so it’s nuts that these were allowed to be made by another company in the first place.
The Legend of Link
Shamelessly purloined from YouTube:
The Legend of Zelda: The Missing Link
The Lelda of Zelda
Everyone’s gonna think the protagonist is named Link. What a terrible idea.
Wait, you mean the girl with the wand is not Link?
No, the girl with the sword is Link.
This looks fun. I am eager to pirate this and play it on PC :)
And I will pirate it and play it on my Switch!
