Legend of Zelda: Clockwork Empire
Added 2014-09-29 19:40:12 +0000 UTCSo last year I put together a hypothetical Zelda game where Zelda herself was the protagonist, called "The Legend of Zelda: Clockwork Empire." (http://dresdencodak.tumblr.com/post/47724463171/inspired-by-anita-sarkeesians-video-game-tropes) It was well-received, and this summer I started toying with a deeper and more thorough exploration of the concept. This was the finalized design for Zelda herself. One of these days I'll probably do more!

Pretty much! Since the setting of Clockwork Empire is post-Medieval, and Zelda herself carries no shield, it made sense.
