When I saw the trailer, I was surprised to see no "waifu bait" but then near the end I thought, "Nah there's definitely going to be a character aimed for that audience. I just know it." Still, not a bad look so far.
Can't compare off hand, but they really upped her muscle tone it seems.
That's a good thing in my book!
I've sure been seeing this shot get passed around. It's so cuuuute! But yeah, I thought TP Zelda fit great in Brawl which was trying to go for a dark and gritty look. I really wasn't the biggest TP fan either. When Smash 4 came out, the dull colors of her look really stood out in a bad way IMO. Didn't really feel like how Zelda should look. I think
allenpergallon summed it up perfectly. TP Zelda is fine on her own in trying to be a little different, but not really the best Zelda to really represent the series as a whole..
Speaking of all the Smash stuff though, I wanted to ask:
What do you think of a lot of the added gender options announced by Sakurai? You know, like Female Pokemon Trainer, female pikachu, etc. I wanted to ask because I came across this tweet by Anita Sarkeesian.
And I've agreed with a lot of her stuff from Tropes vs Women and the like, but this just seems a bit condescending and obnoxious. I just wonder if it really came off that heavy handed for other people (namely women) too.
