AfterThe Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdommade series history by making the titular princess the main playable protagonist for the first time ever in a mainline game, Zelda voice actor Patricia Summersett says it’d be “amazing” to see her become the protagonist in a Breath of the Wild-style game, too.
Continuing, she notes: “I’m so happy for the fandom that they got Echoes of Wisdom, of course, but I mean, yeah, there can always be more playable Zelda as far as I’m concerned.”
All in all, it was a fantastic time, but there’s no doubt that many Zelda fans out there are hoping for it to mark the start of more princess-focused games, thank you very much. Here’s hoping that Nintendo is taking notes – considering that the series is over 38 years old and so little of it has featured playable Zelda in any capacity, it’s definitely about time she got a bit more spotlight, right?
