Linkle is making her debut in Hyrule Warriors Legends. However, it’s possible that we’ll see the character in future Zelda games.
Speaking with IGN, series producer Eiji Aonuma said: “I’m sure we will keep her in mind when thinking about future titles.”
Aonuma also said that he was able to share input about Linkle during the development of Hyrule Warriors Legends:
“I had a chance to give feedback on Linkle during development, but the satisfying action of using a crossbow, which we developed for the spinoff title Link’s Crossbow Training, was implemented this time completely by Koei Tecmo. It may feel a little different from other titles in the franchise, but she doesn’t feel out of place at all in the world of the Zelda games.”
Nostatic Software is bringing another game to Europe next week. Ascent of Kings is due out via the Wii U eShop on December 17. Pricing is set at €1.99.
