Consider my eyebrows raised for sure.

Direct descendent of Link from Skyward Sword, maybe?

Spoiler

Since that ends with establishing solid human civilization on the surface world again.

Would fit nicely with the new stuff and wide-open world in the trailer.

Guys. Look closely at the bracers.

 

[Wyndstryker]

The real protag

 

[jacksepticeye]

Oh daaaaaaayum

 

[FyreWulff]

If they're going all open worldy, it'd make sense to finally choose your gender/attributes

 

[oatmeal]

YOU CAN CHANGE THEN AME OF YOUR CHARACTER CONFURMED>

 

[Mr. Bamboo]

O_O

Gimme moreeeee! Damn, now we have to wait ages to learn more. Hopefully more is discussed during this E3.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

SO ITS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE....A LEGEND OF.. ZELDA?

OR Female Link.. That Might be cool too!

 

[Scratch]

link's sister!

 

[Netherscourge]

 

[Garcia]

If this game is about Zelda saving Link or doing some kind of co-op switcheroo, then holy shit, this is going to be EPIC.

 

[maquiladora]

Farewell sausage link ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[Soma]

It'll be his new name "Linq"

 

[clemenx]

"...but it was Link."

This is what I feel it's going to happen but it's fun seeing people freak out.

 

[Team Top Hat]

This changes everything! Holy cow

 

[Daingurse]

Interesting . . . totally would be down for female Link/Zelda as protag.

 

[Mr. RPG]

Why is everyone so eager to destroy the old Zelda traditions?

May as well just make an entirely new IP.

Guys. Look closely at the bracers.

If this is true, i cannot wait for the 100 page thread on Ganon's whitewashing.

 

[RK9039]

Zelda is a man?

 

[Kinyou]

Ms. Link

 

[linko9]

It was link, he's just laffin it up.

 

[shadyspace]

Spoiler

Guys. Look closely at the bracers.

Oh nooooooooo

 

[illmatic22]

Wow Female protag!

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Guys. Look closely at the bracers.

Problem is he/she doesn't look remotely like Ganondorf or other Gerudos.

 

[Femmeworth]

FTM Zelda. Nintendo going super progressive.

 

[Thoraxes]

Reminds me of Zelda's tunic she wore in the Twilight Realm in TP in that cutscene after you first go wolf.

 

[devonodev]

Eiji saying vague things just to get a reaction out of the internet. It's working

 

[fredrancour]

Man.

Starting the game as humble farmgirl zelda and walking into hyrule castle to see king link staring at you from the throne would be pretty hype, actually.

Or king ganon, with evil link as main villain.

 

[Zeyphersan]

LET ME PLAY AS ZELDA

MAKE MY DREAMS COME TRUE

 

[ignata]

Spoiler

Guys. Look closely at the bracers.

Well this is a potential blockbuster.

 

[potam]

They're taking their cue from Rockstar and having 3 PCs: Link, Zelda (shown), and Tingle

 

[Axass]

Yes give me that female main!

 

[Scum]

Incoming "create a character"?

Maybe they will wait for the reaction to playable female character on Zelda after Hyrule Warrios and decide from there?

Could be his younger sister from the start of The Wind Waker, maybe?

:O

 

[Kimawolf]

The Legend of Link: Zelda's Adventure. I'm going to call it.

 

[Eusis]

Would be cool if he was actually Zelda.



However, I fail to see how having a female character or a different male character would shake up the series to it's core. It'd most likely amount to a skin swap and nothing more.

I think it's just the longer things stay stagnant the more even the smallest of changes can be shocking. Plus it probably means we can have a fundamentally different story from before (outside of LA and MM anyway.)

The real protag

A little too sunny there.

... What's be funny is if that really just meant "well, you DID name the game's MC whatever you wanted, so he's only Link outside of mainline Zelda! And if you didn't choose that name."

 

[Touch]

#gamechanger

 

[AlexMeloche]

It's Linkette guys, his sister.

 

[20cent]

Farewell, sausage

 

[Mango The Magician]

I really don't want a generic create-a-character.

 

[Brian_FETO]

Unnamed child/descendent of Link and Zelda, name is whatever you enter in?

 

[Netherscourge]

Has it anything to do with this?

[ohlawd]

Please be Zelda.

 

[Kinvara]

What if Zelda was a girl???

 

[crooked spin]

probably a male Zelda

 

[Raist]

It's Link's long-lost twin brother, Gink, who was kidnapped at birth by Ganon and trained to kill Link, in the secret 4th timeline that split out after OoT.

 

[Wazzy]

Yessssssssssssss please let it be a female lead!!!

I want Link in some form but damn it would be awesome to have a female lead in Zelda.

 

[Colorful Vocabulary]

Could be nothing. Taking it with a grain of salt.

 

[Monocle]

Looking forward to playing as Li'l Ink, a character with a mysterious connection to someone in the franchise's past...

 

[Garcia]

May as well just make an entirely new IP.

Don't know about you but to me the most important part of Zelda has always been the gameplay, and shaking tradition a little bit is a very healthy thing to do for the franchise to keep growing.

 

[pargonta]

must be teasing. i mean he even has the earring.
