Aonuma not sure if Zelda will star in a game of her own
Gradually, Zelda games have seen the princess take on a more prominent role. Spirit Tracks even allowed players to control her through Phantoms.
What about the future, though? Could Zelda eventually star in a game of her own? The short answer: Nintendo isn’t sure, though they could be open to the idea in the future.
Aonuma provided the following response when asked about the possibility:
“The way we present Zelda is always a topic when we think about creating a game. Normally she would be kidnapped and someone would save her in the end. But this time (with Skyward Sword) we decided to give Zelda more personality and provide more information about her. Of course, in presenting the character in more detail, it can be questioned whether or not she should have her own game. Perhaps it is an idea we can think about in the future, but for now I do not know.”
