Linkle could appear in another Legend of Zelda game outside of Hyrule Warriors, according to Nintendo producer Eiji Aonuma.

We asked Aonuma what larger implications Linkle could have for the iconic adventure series. “I'm sure we will keep her in mind when thinking about future titles,” he told in an email interview.

Linkle was revealed as a playable character coming to Hyrule Warriors Legends, the upcoming 3DS installment of Nintendo’s Zelda action spinoff. She can also be unlocked in the Wii U version. The latest trailer as of this writing shows her wielding dual crossbows on the battlefield.


“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,” Aonuma said.

“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.”

Hyrule Warriors Legends will be available on 3DS in North America on March 25, 2016. What do you think of Linkle appearing in other Zelda games? Would you like to see her star in her own Hyrule adventure? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
