Tetra fights alongside you in the final boss as well as being a Pirate Queen for most of her life and Sheik evaded Ganondorf and his forces for 7 years not to mention the Shiekah Tribe are skilled going by Impa in SS, just because you don't see them in active combat doesn't make them helpless.

Zelda doesn't need to be a Warrior yes but at the same time I'll add we don't need this notion of a strong female forced on us just for the sake of it, I don't want Zelda to be like Princess Mononoke or Kushana that kind of change in character is for Ganon as along with Link they're the two entities that change in the cycle, Zelda is meant to be the one thing in it that is consistent no matter her incarnation whether the bubbly Priestess in SS or the cold Princess in TP.

Zelda is already a strong female character, she's the most intelligent character in the franchise and has an influence that is pivotal to how things turn out, with out her Link would always fail.


I never said they were helpless. But they are clearly not skilled enough in combat to, say, fight their way through a dungeon and defeat a giant monster like Link can. The members of the Sheikah tribe are only so skilled. Impa in SS wasn't some fighting force. She used defensive magic against Ghirahim once, and it was only to buy time. The barrier only lasted a few seconds against him before he completely shattered it and Link had to save her. 

You obviously know absolutely nothing about Princess Mononoke or Princess Kushana, because neither character is even remotely similar to Ganon. They aren't evil and only one is slightly antagonistic, and that is only to protect her kingdom. Both are fit with Zelda's role and are literally nothing like Ganon or Link.

It's it's arguable whether Zelda is the most intelligent character in the franchise, and not Ganon, who has outsmarted her numerous times throughout the series. And Link has, on numerous occasions, defeated ultimate evils without even an ounce of help from Zelda directly.


Reading things in context helps then you'd realize no one said those two characters are evil but not suited to Zelda who is smart enough to not become misguided and antagonistic, I've seen both those movies, such a change in character and take note of the word character is more suited to Ganon why? The villains in Zelda have become a key driving point of interest as far as their character goes more so then any other character which is why the recent villains have been drastically different from each other because they're the reason anything is actually happening.

SS completely blows your notion that they're not skilled enough in combat, Impa lead Zelda through a few dungeons so unless you're saying all the enemies just magically materialized when Link arrives I don't buy any of this they aren't skilled enough notion. Ofcourse Ghirahim would do better against them he's second only the Demise the force that started the whole Tri-Force cycle.

Ganon doesn't outsmart Zelda he overpowers her, he's the representative of power, she uses her intelligence to aid Link as these two alone can't deal with Ganon that's the whole cycle, Link at the start of each game can't even fight Ganon or any other incarnation of Demise hence why he needs Zelda.
