SHE IS!!I just want I hyrule warriors alt for her link, ganondorf and possibly even sheik. They are by far my favourite designs in the series
I mean just look at her, she's gourgeous
I'm sorry, but her hair needs to be Brown. We'll probably get OoT Zelda or /SS Zelda, so if we get this one, I would much prefer her as a brunette.
Why? There are blonde zelda fans too, personally I prefer brown too but still, most zelda's are blonde anyway
But we've already got one brunette zelda, why do we need another?
The only blonde zelda I've ever liked is hyrule warriors, all the other look really generic and boring, skyward sword has to be the worst though, I love her characterisation, hate the design
We're talking about designs... The fact that she was trapped in a tower has nothing to do with her design. In my opinion, TP Zelda has the best design.
As ihskeyp said we're talking about the designs, looks wise the only one imo that doesn't look like a generic princess is the TP zelda, she's dark, brooding and mysterious and the fact that you know nothing about her adds to that.
I agree.
SS Zelda was there for only 80% of the game and then was kidnapped at the end.
TP Zelda is the matriarch, you're not supposed to know about her, she's the greater good that everyone looks to when things are going wrong (Midna dying, Ganondof's charge at the end).
I think SS zelda is good personality and characterisation wise but the design, it's just generic and a bit boring tbh
Oh yeah, she had character development that's only beaten by ST Zelda. Her design was also unique but she never quite clicked with me.
She wasn't that bad.
That's the problem she was a PLOT POINT not a full fleshed out character. Well skyward sword Zelda kept Demise sealed for thousands of years which is much more of an accomplishment then hitting Ganon with a few arrows.
SS zelda imo just looks like that classic, cute, blonde, ditzy princess. Design wise she's nothing special
The scene where Zelda gives up her (Life, triforce, body?) to Midna is really intense, it's one of my favorite scene in the series. It builds up, shows off Midna weak and helpless, than there's Zelda. When you watch the scene you can see it, just her realizing what's going on, how it's happening and what needs to be done. She does it. For the entire story her hands had been tied but here's her chance, here's her chance to change to make the difference. It may be a plot point but it's a really good one. TP Zelda is really subtle and you have to look for it.
I don't particularly love SS Zelda, but I don't hate her. So don't be mean.
Didn't look like a princess to me. Ditzy implies that Zelda was a scatter brain, at which point in the story was this portrayed?
I know i'm double posting! (sorry in advance)The scene where Zelda gives up her (Life, triforce, body?) to Midna is really intense, it's one of my favorite scene in the series.

They have few design similarities beyond the shoulder armor and banner. ST Zelda looks closer to OoT Zelda.
The Banner design (how it hangs on her hips), the crown, the middle piece of the armor, the gloves and dressed is detailed, the hair including the style and color are very different. The coloring is different, TP Zelda's dress is off white while OoT is pink. The top is different too. TP Zelda doesn't have a collar...
Shall I go on?
So what if she has blond streaks? I'm a brunette and because I go outside a lot my hair has natural steaks too, although not as pronounced as her. Brawl Zelda has other differences from TP Zelda.
I don't particularly love SS Zelda, but I don't hate her. So don't be mean.
SS zelda looks ditzy in the same way peach does, she just has that look. The design works for SS I guess but as a zelda design, meh. I don't find it very appealing
Okay, but Zelda is supposed to be a wise young girl. In fact Zelda is almost always portrayed as more child like. TP is the only game in which Zelda exceeds the age of 20. So why should we let one (mediocre) game dictate the portrayal of this character forever? It's like false advertising.No it's just that she has that child-like sort of feel to her, very cutesy
I'm talking about the adult zelda's which are the zelda's most people recognise. Wise, calm, reserved like her appearances in OoT and TP, she may have had appearances where she appeared more child like but that's because she is a child in those games
Because these designs are more iconic and recognisable. People generally prefer the OoT/TP styles
How are those specific incarnations iconic. Every new Zelda incarnation becomes the face of the franchise.
I believe it was Ganon as well, not so much N64 Link.
Because (mainly oot) is just the look people assosiate with zelda, when people think of zelda that's what they think of
*Toon Link and Young Link not withstanding*
At the rate it's going though I suspect that TP Zelda will become iconic if it already isn't. If you google Princess Zelda most of the image results are TP Zelda or something similar.
The Wii version did a lot better than the Game cube version. That's kind of crazy, if you combine them.... they almost rival Ocarina of Time. Jesus did that game sell a lot and that chart probably doesn't include the 3DS.
If we all had the same opinion it would suck.
Yes! There would be nothing to talk about! But regarding some other people, there is no point in arguing about having a difference in opinions.
We would stagnate if there was not a constant and consistent flow of new ideas in a society.
