Linkle is a very unique fighter in Hyrule Warriors. It’s rare that a character outside of the canon Zelda lore gains Linkle’s level of popularity, and yet she was brought to life through fan demand when sketches of her in the Japanese Hyrule Warriors art book were first revealed. It stands to reason that such…
Hyrule Warriors is a game that certainly isn’t afraid to mix things up in the Zelda series. It had a whole new gameplay style, it featured characters that had never been playable before, and it threaded multiple games and timelines together.
