Zelda Informer: "Zelda games come in many shapes and sizes. They appear on both handhelds and home consoles. They span massive 3D adventures, dense top-down quests, and even a side-scrolling action RPG. Each new installment in the storied series can be very different from the last, and yet there is one thread that is a constant throughout all of the main games (excluding spin-offs and the CDi games).
Is it the Triforce? No, that hasn’t appeared in every game. Princess Zelda? Nope; despite her influence as the series’ namesake, there are several games she has not appeared in. Even Ganon has been swapped out for other major villains, like Vaati and Majora.
No, the one thread that is constant throughout the entire Zelda series is its protagonist, Link. He is the hero of every game, the player character in each installment. And it is he who makes The Legend of Zelda my favorite series of video games."
Link should have a voice in The Legend of Zelda Movie. While he mostly stays quiet in the games, he canonically does speak but usually holds back on expressing his thoughts. In a movie format, it is better for the character and the story itself that Link speaks.
I just hope it's not a bunch MCU Snarky McJokeface dialog. Started playing veilguard free on PSN (would not recommend) and it's a perfect example of how dialog in contemporary entertainment is garbage.
Nintendo is hoping to continue working on both top-down 2D and dynamic 3D The Legend of Zelda games in the future.
A Legend of Zelda fan has been modding various aspects of Ocarina of Time into The Wind Waker over the last few years. They recently gave a big update on the project and it looks great.
Link is hero and belongs with the Zelda franchise no matter how shitty the games are like the CDI game years ago. You can't have a Zelda game without Link he is the back bone for the game. I couldn't picture a Legend of Zelda game without Link. Its the same as you can't have Transformers without Optimus Prime he is the backbone for the Autobots. Rodimus Prime is useless as a leader always doubting himself with the burden of being picked by the matrix to be leader.
