None of those characters are stupid. No one is above becoming misguided or antagonistic. There's absolutely nothing about those qualities that aren't suited to Zelda. She can be flawed. There's nothing about her character that says she has to be always right. The idea that being tyranical is more suited to Ganon because the villians are the Zelda characters that are interesting holds absolutely no water.

Again, Impa is not shown to be any sort of power house in SS. There's pleanty of explanation, especially stealth, that far better explains how they got through those dungeons. Unless you're also assuming that Impa also has a whip, beetle, and every other puzzle item required for Link to defeat the enemies and puzzles in those dungeons.


Except Impa is shown to be skilled in SS, Link's near failure in one dungeon leads her to believe he'll be of no help indicating she actually had an idea of how to go about things something Link in many incarnations doesn't have when all hell starts breaking loose in the games, I'd argue that in a number of cases Zelda and other characters start out more powerful then Link who eventually gains more skills under her guidance, Zelda is an incarnation of a Goddess after all, Link is the only representative of the Tri-force who is an incarnation of a mortal being. Someone like Impa is more suited to be like those two mentioned anime characters then Zelda and in SS the were times she was slightly antagonistic.

Zelda does have flaws which is why Demise's incarnations constantly keep coming back to over power the kingdom otherwise she'd already have a fullproof plan waiting to put in motion, no matter her wisdom they can counter it with the sheer power they inherited from Demise. Becoming antagonistic is a trait that's not suited to her, she can be cold like in TP, bubbly like in SS, charming like in WW or elegant like in OOT but in the end her wisdom prevents her becoming oppressive otherwise she wouldn't be wielding that part of the Tri-force.
