I agree, i really want a Zelda Spin-off, but Zelda should not go Hyrule Warriors.
I think the game could mix puzzle, stealth and plataforming. Some puzzle-bosses would be great too, but not giants or dragons. You need a hero for those.
About her weapons. I think spells is a given, with mobility and defense as main aspects. I would also expect her light based magic to be pretty powerful against dark/shadow creatures, so i wouldn't mind if she went a little more combative with them. Arrows are ok too, but not the Hero's Bow or elemental arrows. Maybe the light arrow?
