A well-known Nintendo leaker has claimed that a new Legend of Zelda game starring Princess Zelda as its main character is currently in the works. Despite Princess Zelda's name being in the title of the franchise, the Hyrulian royal has rarely been a playable character, outside of spin-offs. In many of the mainline games, Link has firmly been the series' hero and playable character, with some wiggle room depending on the game. It's likely no surprise that many fans want to see a Legend of Zelda game headlined by the titular princess of the franchise.
