So basically take Portal, put Zelda in and set it in Hyrule. There, you have a badass spin-off! They wouldn't necessarily use Portal game mechanics, but I do like the increasing sense of danger Portal is giving to the player. Chell is in danger constantly, but she deals with it though intelligence rather than brute force. That is the kind of feeling I'd like to see a Zelda spinoff go for. So while I don't agree that it should be as harmless or cute as Captain Toad and think that the Hylian overworld should absolutely be dangerous, I would really like to see Zelda get a cool game of her own.

As for the main topic of 'zelda doesn't need to be a warrior', I feel like the only really compelling argument is that she represents wisdom. I am however not averse to gernderflipping the whole thing if thats the sort of vision Nintendo has for the game. I'd neither mind a prince Zelda nor a femwarrior Link or a femgannondorf. If they want to do it, let them. There's no reason to not allow experimentation. I think I get why people don't like the idea, but I personally wouln't mind either way.
