Fans of The Legend of Zelda may soon celebrate as rumors hint at a significant shift in the beloved series. According to hints dropped on social media, a new game might feature Zelda as the protagonist, not the traditional hero, Link. This suggestion comes from known leaker GenosPapa, whose cryptic messages on the platform X/Twitter have sparked discussions among fans.
GenosPapa’s post hinted at a long-awaited change, saying: “Tears of the kingdom Had a great zelda design I think we are Severely overdue for a game where zelda Is the main character. Seems to me A Hyrule adventure like that Is something fans want, Nows The time.” This message, when deciphered, reads “THIS IS A HINT,” suggesting that fans might finally get to lead Zelda in her adventures.
The speculation has not been confirmed, and Nintendo has yet to make any announcements. However, the same source previously leaked details about the Metroid Prime Remaster before its official unveiling, lending some credibility to the rumor.
While fans have had the chance to play as Zelda in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, the demand for her leading a mainline title has grown. With no confirmation yet from Nintendo, enthusiasts of the series should take these rumors with caution. If true, the game would likely be a title for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.
