Legend of Zelda game actually starring Zelda, done in the style of Link's Awakening remake
People are going to go nuts over this for whatever reason. I already have my playable Zelda in a Legend of Zelda game, even if she isn't technically the star of the game.
It depends on how Link is treated in the game like if he's disrespected then it's a bad sign.
If he's not and is just indisposed for some reason or just not there yet so Zelda needed to act, then this could be one of those games where the side character steps up.
Trailer shows that the game literally starts with him rescuing Zelda from Ganon. Then the world starts breaking apart and being swallowed into a void. Firing an Arrow of Light at Zelda's crystal prison is his last act before being swallowed into the void.
Sounds a little bit like the opening to Super Mario RPG. Only instead of playing the usual hero trying to find out what happened to the chick, it's the opposite.
I'm betting this will make everyone "REEE" to the moon when the next Zelda game goes back to Link being the only playable character, proving this was a one off rather than the series new direction.
Echoes of Wisdom feels cheap. At least with the Link's Awakening remake you could argue the aesthetic is a result of Koholint Island being a dream world. Why is Hyrule and Zelda all toy-like aside from cost-saving asset reuse?
my gut tells me NoA put them up to having Zelda star in a mainline Zelda game, that or ESG. however, judging from the trailer, it seems to be handled with taste.
it should have been called The Legend of Link though.

So he possibly dies a hero's death with his last act being to save Zelda.
Well that's actually a good start, they just better not pull an 'Actually he didn't need to sacrifice himself ' plot twist
I didn't get the impression he died so much as got stuck in some other dimension and needs Zelda to save him for once.

"Muh female protagonist!"

If anything this should help shut people up who want it. Here is your Zelda game where she solves stuff with magic and isn't a combat girlboss.
You're thinking about this too logically. I fear you have way more faith in humanity than I.
