I hope Zeldathan is next

Looks like thoseeagle-eyed internet sleuths were right. Linkle, the woman version of Linkwho was previously revealed as a cut character from the game, will be making it to the upcoming 3DS re-release ofHyrule Warriorsas a standard character. She’ll also be available in the original Wii U version of the game via DLC.

Though Linkle’s design is based on Link, she’s a unique character in her own right, armed with dual crossbows and  a spin kick special. It looks like she’s a hunter from a town that’s overpopulated with cuccos, which we can guess will factor into some new story content for the game. I wonder if she’ll end up saving a prince or fighting a red haired woman namedShanondorf?

Pinkle, one of Nintendo’s previous attempts at an alternate, gender-bent version of a pre-existingZeldacharacter, was not met with the warmest reception. We can hope Linkle has an easier time winning over audiences when she debuts inHyrule Warriors Legendsearly next year.
