With Koei Tecmo promising future content for Hyrule Warriors, could the rejected female Link be in contention?
Earlier this month, scans of the Hyrule Warriors accompanying art book emerged amongst the interwebs, with one particular highlight being a female heroine. Dressed in the traditional Hero of Time green garb and armed with a crossbow, the character would have been known as "Linkle."
Recalling the concept on Twitter, the studio noted how "it looks like she got quite a lot of attention", teasing that "maybe we should have included her in the main story..."
As for the main series, reaction to a female protagonist is something producer Eiji Aonuma would "like to take into consideration", he told Edge Magazine, but "that doesn't mean that we are going to change the main character into a girl."
