female link > zelda suddenly becomeing a warrior.

Why would a princess risk death? they have people to do that stuff for them.
Besides someone has to be saved, the world / the girl... someone.
You could choose to make that someone a differnt person than zelda... but you know... the game is kinda named after the princess.

At most either;

a) make link female if you absolutly must have some girl power character.
b) bring zelda along on a adventure with link (where she doesnt fight, but can still aid link in some form).

I think warrior princes zelda would go against everything the game is/has become.
Why change it? just because? girl power? it would be silly and hurt the game I think.

Yes we dont want a Xena warrior princess clone.

Link is the little train that could, gathering his curage to go against almost silly odds, even he isnt a warrior.

Hes just a brave lil dude that does what needs doing. Its what makes the game appealing.

 

You dont suddenly become a warrior... are we to believe zelda has spent 2/3 of her life training for combat, but shes just never tried to fight back against anyone before? have you seen her body type? she doesnt look like shes ever trained. But suddenly shes just a warrior princes? Next game zelda looks like a muscle freak, and has become a warrior princess?

Even the concept of a warrior princess... a real ruler atmost goes to battle with a intire army behinde him, staying in safety even on the battle field.

Except she's already done this as Shiek. Second: if she isn't a "warrior". Than why does she have magic abilities? And third: Each Zelda and Link are new/different people, right. Who says one universe, she isn't a warrior? If Link can be a kid or an adult. Or Zelda be a Pirate, or her job on skyloft. There can be a Zelda that can help along with Link.

There's no pre determine rule to their ocupation. Same can be reversed to Link. He could be King of Hyrule, in one universe. And they're married. Or they work as a team. One universe could make Zelda and Link brother and sister.

Also, the whole when does she have time to train? When did Link in Wind Waker? He just found a sword and sheild. And started saving lives. To rescuse his sister. That's not questioned. But Zelda, who is sorounded by Impa and the Hyrule army, in most games. Can't find the time?

Even if you want to argue: "The Master Sword gave him the ability". Make her need to touch/use it. It's breaks up into two weapons. And when combined can form the true Master sword. Or the Feirce Deity sword can come back. Granted. The series has to stay within a preset box. But these suggestions don't violate any of the core elements.
