Exploring the Living NPCs and Zelda's Story in Tears of the Kingdom

In an interview with director Hidemaro Fujibayashi, details about Princess Zelda's story, character growth, and new hairstyle in the upcoming game The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom were revealed. The game will explore Zelda's perspective separately from Link's, focusing on her journey to find her purpose after the destruction of Hyrule. Her shortened hair reflects her active involvement in restoring the kingdom, and she becomes a more powerful character as she learns from her ancestors and gains control over her powers. The game also emphasizes the passage of time and the development of other characters in the world of Hyrule.
