IGN interviewed Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma and Tecmo Koei producer Yosuke Hayashi to find out more about Nintendo’s new heroine, including why she didn’t initially make the cut for Hyrule Warriors.
Linkle, the female Link-alike set to appear in Hyrule Warriors Legends, was originally meant to be Link's sister.
Rise of the Rōnin producer Yosuke Hayashi and director Fumihiko Yasuda are watching Shogun and recommend you watch Yojimbo.
Koei Tecmo's Integrated Report 2023 published this morning alongside the company's financial results includes interesting insight from veteran Yosuke Hayashi.
Famitsu: "Rise of the Ronin is a PlayStation 5 (PS5) software scheduled to be released on March 22, 2024 by Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE).The game is being developed by Koei Tecmo Games' Team NINJA. This is a completely new open world title set at the end of the Edo period in Japan. Along with a story full of historical romance typical of Koei Tecmo Games, you can enjoy an action RPG with a high level of combat typical of Team NINJA, making full use of melee weapons and firearms. In this article, we interview Koei Tecmo Games' producer Yosuke Hayashi and development producer and director Fumihiko Yasuda. We asked him in detail how the development of this work began, and what kind of story and game it is."
I know I'm probably the minority on this but I don't really care for many team ninja games. I can't think of one I actually really enjoyed. Ninja gaiden I liked but coulda did without, probably more a nostalgia thing on that.

So, she is not Link sister finally.
Lets keep her in the spinoff where noncanon characters belong
Its kinda funny that the only reason IGN and other sites are drawing attention to her is because she is a female character. If she was a male character that was otherwise exactly the same, the character would get absolutely no hype.
