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
Can't believe how Just Like Me Fr Fr this is
I fuckin kinda hate Fire Emblem tbh. Shining Force is way cooler I'm p sure.
Shining Force was a wonderful series for its time, but I'm unsure how appealing it'd be to you this many years later.
This is about as modern as the series gets, if that helps.

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.
Majuular delivers for sure.
I wish I had a Game Gear as a kid; I was in awe of it during the Game Boy era (which I also didn't have)
