Cast Of BOTW Discuss Their Thoughts On A Playable Zelda

Speaking to atMCM London Comic Con, the cast of shared their thoughts on a game led by a playable Zelda. Despite the franchise being named after her legend, players will instead play as Link through the series, but with recent decisions at Nintendo like the move to have a -led game in the universe, some have wondered if could follow suit.

This week, voice actors Patricia Summersett, who plays Zelda, and Sean Chiplock, who plays Revali, Teba, and Great Deku Tree gathered for a press panel during MCM London Comic Con, attended by, to discuss their work on the series. When asked if it was time for a game with a playable Zelda at the helm, here's what the duo had to say:

Patricia Summersett: It's pretty hard to set Link aside. He's kind of a main staple guy. But also there's, they have a playable Zelda, so that has actually occurred.

Sean Chiplock: I was just going to bring that up if you didn't. She's a badass in that.

Patricia Summersett: You've played a lot of her, haven't you?

Sean Chiplock: Yeah, she's got all kinds of different weapons and that, but she's immediately in charge of the kingdom, she's on the frontlines… And I was also going to say we got the CD-i games! [Patricia laughs] We got a game featuring Zelda way back when! You understand, so…

Patricia Summersett: Yeah.

Sean Chiplock: I think that I'm glad that they're not as afraid to give other characters the limelight nowadays, and I think it's always really cool when Zelda takes the fight, because she's really quite powerful, even if she doesn't start out confident in Breath of the Wild it's like, there's no shame in feeling the weight of the expectations placed upon you, that means when she finally takes control of that power and puts it to use, it's a really empowering moment, so I think that's really cool!

Patricia Summerset: Says Ravali/Deku, with all that wisdom…

Sean Chiplock: Well, Ravali cares for Zelda, he didn't care so much for Link.

Sean Chiplock: We need Zelda Teaches Typing! Mario
