Despite recent rumors presenting the idea of a male and female Link, the game will not have those options. Nintendo cites this is the case as “If Princess Zelda fights, what can Link do?” and despite saying this, I can’t help but feel annoyed with a comment like that.
Hyrule Warriors for example had Zelda fighting, and Twilight Princess (which got a HD Remaster this year) had Zelda use a bow and sword at specific points in the game. Regardless, this news comes out in addition to new promo art that will be shown in this article.
