Nintendo has yet to officially reveal whether Zelda will be a playable character in Tears of the Kingdom. Fans have wanted a playable princess for years and a lot of debate was sparked over her minimal appearances in Breath of the Wild.
While Zelda has appeared in a variety of spinoff titles like Hyrule Warriors and the much-loved Smash Bros. Series, Princess Zelda has still yet to be a playable character in her own titular title.
