What if Zelda was a girl

Nintendo doing anything possible to not admit Wand of Gamelan exists

- Don't forget Zelda's Adventure too.

- At least in the direct they didn’t say “for the first time”

  You can play as Zelda in Spirit Tracks (Zelda in ghost form, that is).

It should be called "Legend of Link"

Been a minute since we’ve had a top-down Zelda game that you can play on the couch.

This looks like it might scratch my A Link to the Past itch.

- Look at the map. It looks like the LttP top down map, or at least a similar throwback to it.

  The town in the middle looked more like Minish Cap than anything else IMO

  Yeah, this looks a bit like LttP HD and ALBW. At least from the stills; I haven't watched the videos yet.

  Post-Wii Nintendo seems to be allergic to 2d and pixel art stylez

  The art style is what excites me the most. This is like next-gen Link to the Past.

- Didn't they remake Link's Awakening?

  Yeah, good point. I wonder if this is the same engine.

While I was disappointed we didn’t get a badass Zelda to play in Tears of the Kingdom, I’m glad there’s at least something focusing on her. Since it’s giving ALTTP vibes I’ll probably give this a play at some point.
