I know one of the things people want to be able to do in BOTW2 is play as Zelda, but for me personally I don't really care. I'm perfectly content with just playing as Link like usual.

I want to know who on ERA wants Zelda playable vs who doesn't/cares if she is.

No, I'm pretty sure Aonuma doesn't care either

(I wouldn't be angry, but I'd be disappointed. I have low expectations tho)

I wouldn't be mad, maybe a little disappointed because playing as zelda could create some interesting gameplay scenarios. In either case I'll still buy the game.

I'm just glad they're making another one.

Wanted playable Zelda since TP, not expecting anything really so I guess I don't care, probably. I don't know.

As a kid Zelda was one of my most influential role models in gaming and even now she's one of my favorite characters. As a woman, I want to play as Zelda because it's an issue of female representation and because she's a badass.

Yes, out of the 10 million people that bought BOTW, you are the last holdout and are the reason it won't happen.

Don't know why angry is the only choice, most people would be disappointed

I don't really care about Zelda being playable but I think it would be cool to have different character options or transformation abilities.

I'm more interested in a playable female Link myself.

But I guess that ship has sailed for now since this is a direct sequel.

It's probably the only way I would buy the game.

I really disliked BOTW for multiple reasons and largely plan to skip Zelda until/if they do a more classic style game...however I would buy BOTW2 if only to support a playable Zelda.

Voted Angry, but it's more like slight disappointment and move on.

Yes OP you are the only one in this whole wide galaxy.

Also weird poll options. I wouldn't be angry, but very disappointed.

I'd like to see Zelda playable, it would be cool, though I wouldn't be upset if she's not.

I only would care if she brings some interesting new game mechanics to boost the gameplay. If she is just a change of skin for Link, I just don't care.

Knowing how Nintendo prioritize gameplay over anything, if Zelda happens to be playable is because she has a gameplay reason to be, not just because she looks different to Link or there is some kind of story reason for that to happen. They don't design their games that way.

Either she is or she isnt, id still buy it. Though if given the choice between her and link I would pick Zelda.

Never seen the appeal in playing as Zelda. Link is the MC and I'm fine with him always remaining that way.

I feel so torn on this topic. I know getting to play as Zelda/a female character in a LoZ game is really important to a lot of people, but I personally have no interest to and really only want to play as (male) Link.

i find it weird people get incensed over prospect of playing a zelda game as... link

like, i get it, fan conjecture is fun but it's a weird expectation to make requisite

I wouldn't be "Angry" but I would be bummed.

I'll forever harp on the series being called "The Legend of Zelda" despite the titular character basically doing jack all.

I know I'm setting myself up for disappointment, but I really hope Nintendo includes Zelda as a playable character this time around. But Nintendo is stubborn so idk.

I'm fine with it being just Link for the main adventure. An unlockable Zelda as a new game plus sorta thing like Luigi in Galaxy would be cool though.

I don't understand the poll. Why can I only be angry if she's not playable or not care whatsoever?

Playable Zelda would be cool as hell. I don't expect it to happen but I welcome it. If she isn't, I won't lose sleep over it but I do "care."

I don't mind, but it would be pretty awesome. Esp cause in the first game she was kept down and not able to fight like she wanted. It makes sense for her to finally be able to do what she wants and fight.

I'm not sure any Zelda fan cares...we just want dungeons and temples, big ones.
