Quite a good breakdown by Laura Kate Dale of Nintendo's handling of recent games featuring playable women characters from franchises usually headed up by men i.e. recent Peach game and upcoming Legend of Zelda game featuring the titular Zelda.
Featuring such Aonuma bangers as:
If we have Princess Zelda as the main character who fights, then what is Link going to do?
The triforce is made up of Princess Zelda, Ganon and Link. Princess Zelda is obviously female; if we made Link a female, we thought that would mess with the balance of the triforce - that's why we decided not to do it.
We feel like what takes priority is this idea of gameplay. If it turns out that particular gameplay we're trying to bring to fruition would be best served by having Zelda take that role, then it's possible that that could be a direction we could take.
i.e. Zelda has featured exclusively MANLY gameplay up to this point btw
Anyone who's ever tried to make me play Fire Emblem is a war criminal

I wanna play the Saturn SFIII trilogy! That was a banger Majuular video.
I actually started with Sword of Hajya on the Game Gear, which was cute. I think SFII would be fun too honestly.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
To be fair, all of that is from Fates, which sucks pretty hard lol
Suddenly so thankful I only played like ten hours of Fates. Apparently I got all I need, might still dip into Sacred Echoes (based) and Thracia.
Some of the maps on the purple version of Fates (Conquest, I think) were kinda cool, but the plot is super doo-doo.
My thoughts exactly, thank u for saying
