    I cannot over state how much I love that “Legend of Zelda” finally stars Zelda, not to mention the art style… But why did they give her apparently no offensive capabilities? Why wouldn’t she be able to swing a sword? I want to see my Zelda kick ass, not summon monsters to fight for her.

      Seems like it’s leaning hard on the “puzzle” aspect of LoZ. Honestly, I’m personally stoked.

      Dude. She hurls boulders at bad guys in the trailer.

        Yeah, and she can use boulders to block attacks - but it looks like the main method of attacking will be using echos of baddies. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

      It’s not really a new development to have Zelda be more magic-y. She always has been. There’s some exceptions but by and large Link is the sword-y one and Zelda is the magic-y one.

      I agree, but appreciate that Zelda isn’t just “girl Link”. Ganon & Link sword fight enough, with Ganon dipping into magic, it makes sense for Zelda to lean heavily into it. I do think a bow would be fitting, but I expect we’ll have enough creativity with the echos that it won’t be necessary.
