Rumour: Leaker says Legend of Zelda game starring Zelda as the main character coming

A known video game leaker who correctly leaked Metroid Prime Remastered shadowdrop and Mario vs. Donkey Kong for Switch has teased that fans should expect a new Legend of Zelda game featuring Princess Zelda as the main character. All the capital letters in the post on the social network X spell out “This is a hint.” Fans have been wanting a game featuring a playable Princess Zelda for a long time, so we could finally be getting one. As always this is a rumour, so take it with a grain of salt at present.

  1. Like with most rumors, I’ll keep it in mind but put little to no stock in it, but I’d be lying if I said I don’t want a Zelda game where Zelda is center-stage.

    The series is called The Legend of ZELDA; I think she deserves a player character role after all this time. But it has to make sense, and I don’t want to drop Link from the game either.

        But the title of this new game will be The Legend of Link, so the title still won’t match the playable character

  2. That would be awesome. I loved playing as Zelda in ‘Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity’ with her powers and we just got a new Princess Peach spinoff game so I see no reason why Zelda can’t have her own spinoff game too.

  3. Also is this by papageno himself or a guy told him this rumor, I followed the guy on YouTube during the ultimate days, the leaks he covered were usually not true

    1. Because, as the article says if you actually read it, he has leaked other things before. And the capitalised letters in the tweet spell out THIS IS A HUNT

  4. This isn’t a leak or rumor…just him saying he hopes a Zelda game comes with her being playable do to her having a ok design in totk …

    Personally I didn’t really like botw/totk design that much… And with the scrapped hair I’m happy they chose the one they chose because the others look very …..low mid

    1. This would be interesting. I don’t think we’ll ever see a mainline Zelda game where she is the main protagonist, just because it’s stated so much Link is supposed to be a blank slate for the character to project onto (hence why he’s always silent). I believe I recall them expressing some interest in this premise, so I could certainly see this being a spin-off. The timing of this rumor essentially confirms this, as there’s no way in the world a new mainline Zelda is anywhere NEAR finished with Tears of the Kingdom having come out so recently. In that case, it’s more likely that this would have been one of the ideas dropped when brainstorming the next mainline Zelda game before the premise is decided on and greenlit.

      I definitely wouldn’t rule out a spin-off, that seems much more likely. We have gotten several Tingle spin-offs on Nintendo DS, lol. My only worry would be in terms of its quality. It would have little to no main Zelda Team devs, and unless it’s being handled by a capable external studio, it definitely sounds like a hard pitch to a major audience. It would need either a really good hook, a super high quality and healthy production, or a mixture of the two.

  5. Hi everone my name is natan and i think maybe this game would be about zeldas time in the past that we see in tear to the kingdom i think nintendo could of started it as dlc before deciding it could be its own game which would explain why totk had no dlc it would also use her design or designs from totk which the leaker mentions just my opinion anyway lol imagine if it was called zeldas link to the past XD have a good day everone from natan ps i would TOTALLY play this game when it comes out >8-D

  6. Leakers are, for me, as unreliable as politicians…. and this year, they have definitely lost my esteem
    That said, if it’s true, it will probably be a spin-off

  7. Zelda never been playable in any main Zelda games. So this could be the first time. Leakers are very good on leaking info. So this is a most accurate info I have seen.

    1. Technically, Zelda is playable in Spirit Tracks. Also, not every leaker is true to their word.

            1. …Dude, what are you on about? Toon Zelda IS still Zelda.
              She has the triforce of Wisdom, is a desendant of the Hylian Royal Family, and can wield the light arrows. These are all primary Zelda-Characteristics.

  8. Fake. Also, Aonuma already dismissed it, bro thinks Zelda HAS to be a captive, otherwise “What about Link?”.

        1. How is Zelda held captive in BOTW and TOTK?
          Both cases was her own actions, she was never held against her will.

    My uncle from Nintendo has confirmed this rumor and it will be a Switch 2 launch but will come to Series X/S and PC with cross saves a few months after the Switch 2 version.

  10. I personally would say this can be 1 of 3 things
    1. It’s fake which I always default to if there’s nothing beyond words
    2. It could be a Zelda Spin-Off of sorts
    3. They make a game that covers the time Zelda was with Rauru and Sonia.

    1. Anonymous Skywalker

      Number 3 would have been DLC if they did that and they said they were done with the story. It is possible they go back on their word but it’s unlikely. Either way we will see if this “rumor” is just pulling things out from the place where the sun don’t shine.

    1. Anonymous Skywalker

      They are reporting on rumors which is news, it’s not My Nintendo Facts, they report news which includes rumors.

  11. My mind goes to a kiddy game like the princess Peach, fun and playable but simple. If the next top down assignment style starred Zelda that would be dope. What would be really cool is taking the BOTW engine and tweaking it for Zelda movements, and scaling down the game for a more focused adventure.

  12. I actually wanted her playble as the main character for a while her or Linkle or one where you play as Link and Linkle switching off
