Princess present but not in weapon form

Just in: not Zelda

Stating that the sword itself is the driving force behind Link's next adventure, Mr Aonuma says:

When that sword is actively guiding Link it actually transforms into a feminine figure. I wouldn't say that it's female per se but it's a feminine figure. It would be kind of nice to keep this a mystery, but I can tell you right now that it is not Zelda.

That's one theory down, 2,000 to go. With there being a relative lack of memorable feminine figures in Zelda history other than the princess, this could even be a brand new character to the series. Or could it be a returning face from old? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

It's going to be a new character.

It's gonna be a new character that's Midna-like. 

Midna was cool. 

did anyone really think it was Zelda?!

old news. I posted some scans and a summary of those scans several weeks ago......

of course.... if anyone bothered to check the official thread.....

^lol!!

anyway, it's probably tingle in a form we all knew he always desired.

It's true.

Zelda isn't in the game at all.

What? There are tons! More than male figures, too. The 3 creator goddesses Din, Nayru and Farore, sages like Saria, Nabooru and Ruto, Impa, who is a recurring character as well, the oracles from the Oracle GB Zelda games, there's Tetra, Midna, Navi, Malon, Marin, the entire Gerudo tribe, Aryll and Link's grandmother from WW, Medli, also from WW (she even accompanies you through an entire dungeon), Tatl (Link's fairy companion from MM), heck - even Epona's feminine.
