Ever since the initial teaser for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom dropped back in 2019, one question has popped up time and again: Will Zelda be playable? From her shorter hairstyle to her appearance in trailers, speculation has continued to circulate, with some even pointing to new artwork as evidence that the princess may at last be a playable character in the upcoming Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild sequel.
Apart from anything else, it speaks to just how much demand there is to have the opportunity to be Zelda in a mainline adventure. Sure, you can choose Zelda in Super Smash Bros. and Hyrule Warriors – and even control her to an extent in Spirit Tracks on the 3DS – but after three decades, fans are pinning their hopes on a playable Zelda in Tears of the Kingdom.
