In addition to the new dual-crossbow hunter, don't forget that Tetra, Toon Link, Skull Kid, and the King of Hyrule are showing up in the title!

Nintendo revealed that Linkle, a new original character, is going to make her debut appearance in the upcoming Hyrule Warriors Legends for 3DS.

Linkle, a character concept for the original Hyrule Warriors release, is a woman who lives in a village of cuccos and favors dual-crossbows to dispatch her enemies. She also seems to favor a color scheme evocative of Link's shades of green, but in a cloak and hood as opposed to a tunic. Her special attack is a spinning kick.

In addition to the new character, Nintendo made sure to show off that Tetra, Toon Link, Skull Kid, and King of Hyrule (from Wind Waker) were also being added to the game.

When the 3DS title releases in March 25, 2016 in North America it will be paired with a free 3DS Home Menu theme for a limited time.

Bad name aside, it's great to have another official female character in the franchise. Now give her a starring role.

I agree. With those weapons, do you think she could be the start of a re-sparking of the Crossbow Training line? I can 100% see her holding down some games with that as a starting point.

I really he is of some kind relation to Tingle, based on the name.

I'm totally down with a new game in the franchise starring her, Zelda and Sheik. This needs to happen in my lifetime.

It would be great if this is Tingle's sister. I could see some great comedic pieces where the goofy, clumsy Tingle is contrasted by the more serious, competent Linkle. All the while their father bemoans their shared obsession with fairies and the color green.

This sounds like an April Fools joke.

Which is why it's awesome.

At least Tingle didn't coerce her into slavery for him.

Nintendo's knack for awful hardware and software names is spreading to their game characters as well, now.

They didn't named her New Link U.

That cool piece of concept art is real!

I hope the Wii U version will get the new characters without have to buy the 3DS version.

Stratos · « **Reply #11 on:** November 12, 2015, 09:07:40 PM »

Most of it has been confirmed to be available as paid DLC on the U version.

Linkle was revealed back when Hyrule Warriors was released on Wii U but she didn't make the cut at the time. Looks like they are including her now. I believe the idea behind her was that she was Link's sister but the internet took it as the possibility of a Girl Link finally existing or being thought about and seems to be the way people are taking her reveal now.

Here's the NWR article on her that even revealed her name to Linkle back then:

Linkle! Buhahaha! sounds like something I would call my pet doggy, which I would then KILL!

Stratos · « **Reply #15 on:** November 12, 2015, 09:51:22 PM »

This is really a missed opportunity. They should have named her Aryll if she was Link's sister.

Wah · « **Reply #16 on:** November 12, 2015, 09:53:19 PM »

Or shemale because she looks like it! Buhahhaha!

broodwars · « **Reply #17 on:** November 12, 2015, 10:44:00 PM »

I kind of feel that giving her a separate name from Link kind of reinforces the idea that "Link" can never be a girl. Girls can never be the hero on the same scale as the legendary character. Instead, they're "Linkle", a "separate but equal" hero who nevertheless only exists because of her male counterpart.

I kind of feel that Nintendo would have made a stronger statement about gender equality if they had just named her "Link" OR if they had just created a whole new female character altogether who doesn't look like Link but stars in the next Zelda.

Wah · « **Reply #18 on:** November 12, 2015, 11:07:17 PM »

Wow that sexist remark is even to low for a Demon to make fun off, well done Mr. Broodwars!
Would you like to be my Evil Apprentice!
Buhahaha!

ShyGuy · « **Reply #19 on:** November 12, 2015, 11:11:07 PM »

Well she looks cool, I like the dual weilding crossbows.

Wah · « **Reply #20 on:** November 12, 2015, 11:12:31 PM »

My duel-wielding Crossbow would like some fun with her!
Buhahaha!

Khushrenada · « **Reply #21 on:** November 12, 2015, 11:35:24 PM »

You may want to see a doctor about that. That's not evil. That's a serious condition.

Wah · « **Reply #22 on:** November 12, 2015, 11:36:47 PM »

Demons are like echidnas we have four penis's!

I love Setz's "Hurl Warriors" series.

He made a new comic about Linkle:
