I'm calling you young, sweetie, because The Legend of Zelda, The Legend of Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, and The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Aventures didn't have the Master Sword and they were DEFINITELY worth playing. </fanboyism>

Well sweeties, from what I'm assuming is that she might be the sword just from her design. Great first Link had a talking Fairy, cap, now sword. XD
And LoZ, LA, and TMC are among the best in the series at that!

Anyway, I don't think she's the Master Sword. It has a history. We know why it was formed.

The goddesses told the Hylia to create the Master Sword long before the events that take place in any of the games. It was a preemptive measure against evil ones who yearned for the Triforce.

I hope the girl's not the sword. You can't exactly bash people and cut stuff up with a girl. LOL.
And a battle ax or club or some other random weapon would never work for Link for the course of a whole game. He's too knightly and any other weopon wouldn't be... elegant enough.
Link without a sword is like... a s'more without a marshmallow!! AH!! He'd be a graham cracker and piece of chocolate! Not the same...
Though I admit, even if he doesn't have a sword, I'll still buy and play the game through at least twice. >_<

He would be like Goofy in KH, bash people with his sheild.

Or he could be like Cream in the Sonic series "Please Mr.Ganondorf, stop being bad!"

Or, maybe he has a HUGE battle axe!!!!! That, would be sweet...
lmao xD ahhh that'd be....weird/funny/strange

Lol, I don't think Link would have a problem swinging her from her legs, or any part of her body considering how big he seems to be in this game.

Is there an age estimate for Link?
All I've heard is what Miyamoto has said, which is older and more of an adult. I'd guess mid-twenties to thirties or so, based on the artwork and the assumed ages of previous 'adult' Links.

The last console game involved Link turning into a wolf and people are honestly surprised about this? Oo
Whatever the girl is, I can guarantee TP will have been weirder with that Wolf Link mechanic.

The girl being the sword is pretty likely. There is one thing I have to say though, why are we all assuming that she turns into the Master Sword?

If this is a new Link, then yeah, she's probably the Master Sword (Mistress Sword?), but if this is the same Link as was in Twilight Princess, which I believe it probably is as every Link in the past got 2 games released fairly close to each other and TP Link hasn't got a second game yet, then it may possibly be an entirely new sword that she turns into. I say this because look at the previous 2nd LoZs from after the Master Sword was created, they were always new swords, yet similar to the Master Sword.
Link's Awakening - LV2 Sword*
Majora's Mask - Gilded Sword
Phantom Hourglass - Phantom Sword

*The LV2 Sword was named after the Master Sword in LADX.

I do hope that she is the Spirit of the Master Sword though, the story of the Master Sword really needs to be fleshed out beyond that it was created by Ancient Hylians to slay evil.

That's strange. Call me old, but any game where Link has no Master Sword, is not worth playing.
There have been plenty of games where Link didn't have the Master Sword, most of which were good games.
The Legend of Zelda - NES (Magic Sword)
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link - NES (???)
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening* - GB (LV2 Sword)
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask - N64 (Gilded Sword)
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons** - GBC (Noble Sword)
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages** - GBC (Noble Sword)
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass - NDS (Phantom Sword)

* Link's Awakening DX renamed the LV2Sword after the Master Sword.
** The Master Sword is a password obtained item.

Well... the Zelda team was kicking around ideas for TP Link's second run or "side story" game. The end result (according to Miyamoto), unfortunately, was Crossbow Training and not a true title. This Link looks a heck of a lot like TP's Link (identical I'd say), but according to Shiggy it's a new Link. :\

This link is a new link different era from all the other games confirmed by Miyamoto. Strange thing though is that the resemblance is a lot like OoT link.
TP Link.

How do you see TP link in him? I see more of OoT link with the hairstyle and all.
If you can see more OoT Link, then this game must be finally finding navi, your lost friend. Also look at both artworks that you posted, the hairstyles and the facial looks are the same. Though really all Link's look the same(except Wind Waker Link)

Girl looks like the Queen of the Fairies from The Wind Waker.

He won't be swordless. Heck he has a shield in tat picture. What kind of Zelda game has just a shield?
That's what I thought it looked like too.

You'll probably be ssing him bashing enemies in the head with his sheild (which I would love to see). XD


Oh geeze, it must be true then.

Now I'm actually afraid Nintendo will put the WiiMotionPlus to use by making you flick your wrist to toss your shield at everything. >_<
Stupid shield movements that could possibly give you a carpal tunnel. XD
another game to break your T.V? I would be afraid if it was ONLY WiimotionPlus....
I'd blame Nintendo fro my T.V. breaking. lol

The hair style reminds me more of TP Link, but we are only getting a side view of his face.

I think this Link is around early twenties. Mid thirties seems a bit much, don't you think?

Anyway, I don't think she's the Master Sword. It has a history. We know why it was formed.

The goddesses told the Hylia to create the Master Sword long before the events that take place in any of the games. It was a preemptive measure against evil ones who yearned for the Triforce.
Of course we know why it was formed, but to my knowledge, it was never explicitly stated how they went about forming it.

I'm normally the type that thinks of speculation as a waste of time (for me, anyway) and am usually content to just wait for stuff and not think too much on it till it's actually out, but this seems awfully intriguing. Todoroki makes several good points, and I'll have to say I agree with him on the girl being some sort of personification of the Master Sword. I doubt they'd not have at least some parts where Link is wielding the sword itself, though.

I'm guessing Miyamoto's hinting at the swordlessness of Link in this artwork is to point out that the girl pictured is some form or incarnation of the sword that's a significant part of the game, and not necessarily that Link won't ever be wielding the actual Master Sword.

Link's a righty D8


I know it's for the sake of the Wii Motion stuff, but still, I kinda miss Link as a lefty. Link was one of the very few people who wielded his or her sword with his or her left hand.
(It was so special they put in a quiz over here).
Buh, make Link at least a lefty in the artwork? D:

Okay, now back on topic.
I stated before that I thought that strange girl looked a lot like the Master Sword (check the LoZ club). The similarities are too obvious, and as Todoroki stated here, it's not just the colourscheme. Even though it is obvious that she has something to do with the Master Sword, there is that chance she doesn't. But I can't think of a reason why they'd make her look as a living Master Sword if she's got nothing to do with it. @[email protected]"

I am looking forward to this game anyways, with or without a sword. =)

I say it's either the Queen of Fairies from WW or a personification of the Master Sword... or both.

Anyway, the girl's gem might not be the same color as the sword's, but then again, if it was... wouldn't it be awfully obvious?

Maybe the sword isn't really a sword in the sense that it's metal~

If she's as annoying as Navi, I'm sure link has no problem swinging her around and bashing her into bad guys.

I want to use Navi as slingshot ammo...
lol navi was very annoying
