I really like the way Sakurai said he didn’t include BOTW Princsss Zelda “because she prefers her studies instead of fighting” because it implies that every other Princess Zelda is 100% ready to Throw Down
Every others Zelda is 100% ready to throw down.
Ocarina of Time Zelda dressed up like a ninja so she could sneak out and punch bad guys. Twilight Princess Zelda personally swordfights with intruders and repeatedly shoots Ganondorf in the face. Spirit Tracks Zelda gets her soul ripped out of her body but doesn’t even slow down before she possesses a suit of armor and commences kicking all kinds of ass, including landing the final blow on Malladus. Wind Waker Zelda is the motherfucking pirate queen.
