"They would sooner have Link dress up as Zelda, than actually let you play as Zelda!"
With Tears of the Kingdom released now, yeah, that's definitely still accurate.

I really liked Zelda’s personality in Windwaker. It’s a shame they just had to activate princess mode at the end. It felt so off putting, almost like an entirely different character.

The problem isn't so much that Zelda is a damsel in distress that constantly needs to be rescued and is otherwise practically uselss. In fact, most of the time she only gets captured as a consequence of getting in Ganon's way. The real problem is that we only see things from Link's perspective. Sure, we get hints about what she's doing but we don't really get to see it.
In Ocarina of Time she is Sheik, so she's the one guiding you the whole time
In Skyward Sword she goes on a whole adventure with Impa.
In BotW she's been holding Calamity Gannon at bay for centuries.
We don't get to see any of that.

In Cadence of Hyrule she's another playable character, who you can either play as from the get-go, or you wake her up from a magic coma super early if you picked Link. She's on par with Link as being the hero of that game, which was cool.

In spirit tracks she actually does a lot surprisingly

You did NOT just downplay how much Zelda actually does in Spirit Tracks, it is the SINGLE most agency she has had in a Zelda game to date.
She:
1. Sneaks directly out of the castle with Link's help in order to investigate the Tower of Spirits and the titular Spirit Tracks HERSELF
2. Possesses a suit of armor, which was about to KILL Link if she didn't step in
3. Uses said armor to help Link with puzzles and navigating the Tower of Spirits
4. Has TONS of funny moments and one liners over the course of the story
5. Helps Link fight Byrne, one of the guys who kidnapped her body, by PULLING HIM TO THE GROUND BY HIS GAUNTLET
6. Grabs her own body possessed by Malladus to keep it still for Link to shoot with the Bow of Light
7. Calls upon the power of Tetra (not Zelda!) to take back her body from Malladus
8. does the final song with Link in order to expose Malladus's weak spot
9. RANGED SUPPORT TURRET during the Malladus fight
10. HELPS LINK STAB MALLADUS IN THE GODDAMN FACE

Spirit Tracks was my first Zelda as a kid, I loved that she had a partner role and her own abilities the whole game. Having gone back and played the other games now, I hope Tears of the Kingdom keeps her as a partner. There's a lot of repetition and wasted potential when it comes to Zelda as Astro mentioned. Great video!

In TP's defense, the game was really more about Midna than zelda, who played a very important role in the story and wasn't kidnapped once (weird that I have to specify that she wasn't kidnapped)

I’ll fork over my thoughts & just say that they should make Zelda playable in a mainline game at some point, ideally in Tears of the Kingdom.

I don't think you gave Spirit Tracks enough credit. She's a full character in that game, on par in importance (though sadly not quality of writing, though that's more of a Spirit Tracks budget problem than a Spirit Tracks design philosophy problem) as Midna, and Midna's a great character. (As is Zelda in Spirit Tracks, in my opinion)
She has likes, dislikes, a goal, a personality which isn't just "save me", and she even drops the HIMARS at the end of the final boss to finish him off together! That's right, I'll say it since nobody else will: Train Zelda is Peak Zelda, fight me.

For years I've dreamed of a co-op Legend of Zelda game where Link and Zelda travel together and get different dungeon items so they have to work together to solve puzzles. I was one of the people who got excited seeing short-haired Zelda, hoping it meant she'd have a more active role, or better yet, an equal role. I'll be fork'in disappointed if Tears of the Kingdom just turns her into a damsel in distress for the (looks back at the video) 15th time.

What I've learned from this is that the "Legend" of Zelda is just her getting kidnapped for the main player to save

Its actually kinda funny. in terms of pure Agency. Skyword Sword kinda wins. Sure shes not the best character. but Story wise she has more agency than Link. Link constantly has to chase her around when she goes where ever she wants. And she even freezes herself through her own choice and kinda just...tells link "Hey, uh, i need you to defeat Demise so i can be released, k? thanks!"

2:42 Well Actually
It's the Windfish's dream and Link just somehow ended up inside it. Idk the logistic either.
36 |
Don't forget Cadence of Hyrule. That game slaps. You can play as Zelda, and her kit is totally different from Link's.
74 |
Real talk it's crazy how you've somehow gotten significantly more funny and charming since the first video of yours I ever saw, you're always one-upping yourself and you're on a total roll lately. Keep up the great work my lovely lil' spaceman <3

I’m still confused about Tetra’s skin color changing when she becomes Zelda. Like a fork becoming a spoon when you’re putting steak in your mouth, a spoon can get the job done too but why?
108 |
Should have waited until ToTK came out to release this, her story is the most engaging part of the entire game

It's so telling (and given it's by Team Ninja, somewhat of an indictment) that the game where Zelda has the most agency is the spinoff that WASNT made by Nintendo. To fill you in, in that game she's not a princess but an actual QUEEN and acts accordingly by being an army commander and taking proactive measures; literally as soon as she gets kidnapped she just nopes out to start helping as Sheik, and her relationships are also different like how instead of being her guardian Impa acts as her retainer. She's easily my favorite version of Zelda after Spirit Tracks and Tetra, especially with both Zelda and Sheik being absurdly OP in gameplay.
Also a thing I still can't believe happened that I don't think anyone should forgive let alone forget is how when the person who has been in charge of Zelda games for like 2 decades, Eiji Aonuma, was asked why we haven't gotten a game that has zelda as the playable main character, they honest to god gave the asinine excuse of "if we have Princess Zelda as the main character who fights, then what is Link going to do?". I think i'd somehow have respected them more if they flat out said 'because we don't think that'd sell as well' i mean jfc...
