The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is here, and at this point it's probably no spoiler to say the titular Princess is once again a non-playable character in her own series. Nintendo says it's open to giving Zelda a starring role in a future game, but only if there's a "particular" sort of gameplay that fits her.
"We feel like what takes most priority is this idea of gameplay," producer and series boss Eiji Aonuma tells Vanity Fair. "If it turns out that the particular gameplay we’re trying to bring to fruition would be best served by having Zelda take that role, then it’s possible that that could be a direction we could take. With that said, of course, because we are not sure what the next gameplay experience is going to be, we can’t say what Zelda’s next step is going to be."
