PRINCESS ZELDA BREATH OF THE WILD SERIES
Very early on in Cadence of Hyrule, you are given the choice to play the game as either the series typical hero, Link, or as Princess Zelda. While Cadence of Hyrule has this musical fighting gimmick and was not made by Nintendo, it is an officially licensed Legend of Zelda title and one in which you can totally play the entire game as Princess Zelda.

Both Crypt of the Necrodancer and Cadence of Hyrule are top-down adventure games, but with the gimmick that you have to play the game by moving and attacking in time with the tempo of the game’s soundtrack.

The game was developed by an indie studio called Brace Yourself, known mainly for their 2015 hit game Crypt of the Necrodancer. Released a few weeks ago, Cadence of Hyrule is an official Legend of Zelda game, but one not developed internally by Nintendo. It’s OK for a princess to wait around for someone else to fight and save the world, but the idea of a boy needing to wait for a princess to fight in and save him is just not something Nintendo sees as feasible.īut there are existing Zelda and Zelda-style games you can play today that prove not only can Zelda be a viable combat-based hero, but also that its time Nintendo themselves embraced that idea. The implications of this statement were pretty clear. we have princess Zelda as the main character who fights, then what is Link going to do?” "We thought about it, and decided that if we're going to have a female protagonist it's simpler to have Princess Zelda as the main character. Speaking to gaming website GameSpot, producer Eiji Aonuma’s reasoning basically boiled down to the fact that letting a woman save the world would leave the series' regular male hero without anything to do. However, what caught my attention at the time was an explanation given regarding why Nintendo decided against having a playable female protagonist. The Zelda series has been seeing regular new entries for 30 years now and almost exclusively has you play as Link, our sword-wielding forest boy hero. It’s not necessarily surprising that Breath of the Wild didn’t let you play as a female character. There was never much in the way of evidence for the theory, but it gained a lot of traction at the time before Nintendo eventually confirmed that it was not the case. A little over three years ago, during E3 2016, the gaming world was briefly abuzz with rumors that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild would finally give players of Nintendo’s flagship adventure series the ability to play as a female character.
