Depends on what you mean by 'main character'. The original poster was, I assume referring to a game where Zelda takes the place of Link and becomes the primary character controlled by the player, which is one definition of the term. If you look at the majority of the games in the series though, Link is at the centre of the plot and the game, while Zelda is more than often just another character (especially in games where she barely appears, e.g. Link's Awakening, Majora's Mask, etc). She is 'a' main character, but her being 'the' main character in the games is debatable, and just because her name appears on the box of nearly all the games in the series certainly doesn't constitute Link being shunted aside to give Zelda the protagonist role.

I think he was being sarcastic. I think...

It's painful knowing a new Zelda will be coming to the Wii U while I, among many others, have to idly stand by because life's necessities come before entertainment. If I did have the money, though... ah, forget it. Maybe I'll win the lottery.

You've got quite a while, I think.

I'm hoping, but I've been skeptical ever since witnessing that tech demo of Zelda Nintendo had on Wii U a couple years back.

**BCVM22** · 19th November 2012, 7:40 AM

No, you've got a while. A tech demo is a tech demo. Nothing more.

When they actually go about announcing and unveiling a new Zelda title, then you can bemoan your lot in life. Again, you've got a while.

What will come first, Zelda 3DS or Zelda Wii U?

**ZombieMeatballs** · 19th November 2012, 8:12 PM

Wait ... there is music in video games? Who listens to that?

Unless you're severely hard of hearing or the sound of your TV/console/device is broken, I don't see how your sudden moment of enlightenment could have come at such a seemingly late stage.
In any case, I doubt you've ever played a Zelda game in your life because there's no way you could play one and not notice the brilliant, kick-arse music in it, even with hearing impairments.

People. Awesome, awesome people.

Anyways, never mind the troll. HYRULE HISTORIA HAS A NEW COVER

I really hope your trolling if not get out!

That's extremely pleasing. I definitely prefer that cover.

My guess is Zelda 3DS.

That is absolutely beautiful.

**Torpoleon** · 22nd November 2012, 12:27 AM

Yeah, Zelda 3DS probably is the best bet. Handheld Zeldas seem to take less time to make, considering PH & ST were released only 2 years apart. Hopefully we get some info on it at next year's E3!

By the way, loving Hyrule Historia's new cover. Might pick it up sometime after it is released.

That would be due largely in part because they use the same engine.

Zelda 3DS.

Still have no idea what that could possibly mean, though. Closest I can think of is the perspective puzzles from Super Mario 3D Land where you need to turn the 3D on to see where you are, but apart from that...

**giratina519** · 23rd November 2012, 5:56 PM

Idk what that means anyways.... I see how Anouma makes those games so puzzling. I guess I need to get link to figure this one out.... *Gets Link* * Asks Link question* Link:...... ZAAAAHTTTAAAAAHT!!!!! (He doesn't talk) Me: -_-|||

Intriguing.

Hyrule Historia "Limited Edition" one sale for $45.73 on Amazon?

Confused.

**BCVM22** · 26th November 2012, 6:30 AM

What's the confusion? Amazon routinely offers significant discounts on products.

**Poetry** · 26th November 2012, 6:33 AM

Confusion wasn't on the price, it was on the entire "Limited Edition" thing itself - i.e. why produce two editions when the standard edition is luxurious enough? What is the difference between the two editions? Does the reference to the cover in the Limited Edition description mean that the Standard Edition will have a different cover to the green one? Why does the Limited Edition have less pages than the standard edition? Why is it so much more expensive if it has less pages - Surely the fact that this has gold gilted pages isn't the reason for the hike in price?
Therein lies the confusion.

**EeveeSoulSilver** · 27th November 2012, 7:15 AM

I'm hoping that Zelda 3DS comes out soon. I haven't even decided if I'm going to buy a Wii U yet. I still want a PS3 as well as some other games that are coming out, but I'm not going to talk about that here since they don't have anything to do with Zelda. Don't want to get off topic here.

Depending on one's definition of "soon", this is unlikely.

What I meant was I hope that it comes out first before Zelda Wii U. Sorry! Should've been more specific. XD
