Title: Play as Zelda? (Pure Speculation)
Post by: SwordKing on July 07, 2005, 07:56:55 AM
I have heard rumors that Zelda herself might be a playable character in "Twilight Princess". I believe these rumors started when people first saw that artwork of Zelda holding an elegant sword.

IF Zelda is playable, I have two theories about how it will work...

- Zelda will be playable for a certain section of the game.

OR

- After finishing the game once as Link, you can start a new game as Zelda.

Any other ideas and/or thoughts on this matter?

Probably be playable as a side mission. I can't imagine her being available to play as a large-scale character.

Come to think of it, is there any other evidence thus that Zelda might be a playable character other than that artwork I already mentioned?

Haha, nope. All the rumors are based on her holding the sword in that picture.

Even her holding/using a sword could be cool.

Yes though I rather see her as fighting with a bow and arrow like she did in the cartoons and in WW

Hm... has anyone gotten the August issue of NP yet? I think there's an article about "Zelda concept art" in there; one might find some juicy gossip seeds within.

I don't recall if the July issue had anything...

There wasn't much, just the Link, Zelda and Stalfos pics already released. It did have some cool screenshots, but the author part just had the above stuff.

I have to say that that is an awesome sword.  It looks like it is Zelda's sword.  It matches her outfit.

In the future please read the previous posts before making a post. As the title says it is PURE SPECULATION and the discussion is whether you would like to see Zelda as a playable character

I'm too lazy to read through it now, but I'll get around to it.

Do any of you have a link to the picture of Zelda you're talking about?
Title: Re:Play as Zelda? (Pure Speculation)
Post by: weienw on October 21, 2005, 10:45:51 PM
We sure do! Just go to The Twilight Princess (or "next zelda") game guide here at TDC, click on Official Art on the sidebar, and then scroll down to near the bottom. Indeed, there is your Zelda.
Title: Re:Play as Zelda? (Pure Speculation)
Post by: predawn on October 25, 2005, 02:08:43 PM
Well, I see how that may have come about. But who's to say that Zelda didn't just get smart and decide to protect herself for once? ;)

Personally, I think it would be really cool to be able to play as Zelda, but that would get really tricky, and probably slightly annoying. Unless Nintendo can pull it off well, of course.

 :D I was reading an article that was an interview with one of the producers of TP, and he was asked if Zelda would be a playable character. He most frankly answered...NO.  :P But, then again, he did say that that what has been initially planned, and it may change at any time. But I sure hope that we can play as Zelda! She's AWESOME!  8)

I agree, Zelda should get a role in the game other than "damsel in distress".

i would rather be able to use her magic to levetate things and make enemies explode

I don't think Zelda should be a playable character... I mean, for me that all gets wrong.

We should dig in this and research it... shall we?

Ever since I heard that rumor, I wondered what it would be like to L-Target as Zelda...
Title: Re:Play as Zelda? (Pure Speculation)
Post by: Zelda Veteran on March 07, 2006, 06:55:51 PM
sounds cool! can you L target? Navi always did that for us, or at least the fairy. Is there a fairy in WW? Sorry i just cant seem to remember!
Title: Re:Play as Zelda? (Pure Speculation)
Post by: MagmarFire on March 08, 2006, 03:29:25 PM
No, there wasn't. I don't think that fairies allow you to L-Target; I think they just give you the weakness info if you do target onto the enemy.
Did you know that the L-Target arrow for Twilight Princess should be a boomerang-shaped kite?

Title: Re:Play as Zelda? (Pure Speculation)
Post by: MagmarFire on March 08, 2006, 06:51:51 PM
Oh, it's not so important. Let's just say that it's different from the arrow in WW.

Post by: TP Zelda on March 14, 2006, 08:14:36 PM
That would be SO COOL if u could play Zelda after u play as Link!
I mean, just imagine! Playing Zelda in Touru Villiage! Playing Zelda while riding Epona!
IT WOULD BE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Title: Re:Play as Zelda? (Pure Speculation)
Post by: Evilslayer on March 16, 2006, 04:31:39 AM
It's not Epona. :P It's a random horse you can name whatever you'd like. I'm going to name the horse Catherine, after Link's horse in the cartoons.
Title: Re:Play as Zelda? (Pure Speculation)
Post by: TP Zelda on March 16, 2006, 12:13:40 PM



           I never knew that Link had a horse named Cathrine in whatever cartoons you're talking about! Actually, I don't know what to name the horse,

                                   Here are some names. Anybody who looks at this can decide. Even ones that aren't on my list, okay?

#1. Epona
#2. Cathrine
#3. Medli
#4. Hemione (from Harry Potter)
#5.Ginny
#6.Mary
#7.Ginger


That's all! Names anyone? I might want to just name her Epona. 'Cause if u meet Zelda. She might want to ride the horse. And it would sound more Zeldaish if it were Epona.Come on people! Names! Any name! Don't be shy! The reason why I put Medli on the list is because when the horse runs, she kinda flies! I don't know which flys is right. This kind of flys, or this kind of flies.

Man, what kind of magic do you think that Zelda will have if she is a PC?
Title: Re:Play as Zelda? (Pure Speculation)
Post by: o0Zelda0o on March 18, 2006, 01:00:53 PM
pc? do u mean playable charicter?
Title: Re:Play as Zelda? (Pure Speculation)
Post by: MagmarFire on March 18, 2006, 02:40:11 PM
Yeah, it's an acronym for it (don't confuse it, though, with "personal computer"), much like NPC is an acronym for "non-playable character."
Title: Re:Play as Zelda? (Pure Speculation)
Post by: TP Zelda on March 18, 2006, 03:40:05 PM
Okay. Have u ever played OoT? When it's about time to deliver the final slash, Zelda uses her power to hold down Ganon/Ganondorf. I forgot wich one it is. Well, what if u could put away your sword, (as Zelda) and use the magic power so she can hold down an enemy so Link can slash 'em as much as he wants until the guy's dead! Wouldn't that be awsome!?
Title: Re:Play as Zelda? (Pure Speculation)
Post by: MagmarFire on March 18, 2006, 03:41:30 PM
Probably. The final blow was cool, though. ;D

Except if you think about the fact that the Shadow Temple had blood on the walls, and when was hit by an enemy.

I wonder what kind of blood it would be... A positive?
