Would you like a sidekick for Link this time in the sequel?

I guess I wouldn't mind either way. :)

Interesting proposition. I would prefer no sidekick. I've never been a fan of having to slog through games with a second character slowing you down, getting stuck on invisible walls, dieing and forcing you to replay portions of the game.

What I would find interesting is some sort of flash back / dark link / alternative universe storyline where you play as a second version of Link.

Obviously Paya should just follow link around and act embarrassed whenever Link faces her.

Yeah they should introduce parties on the game like in actual RPGs and give them all individual skills and attributes that will really make Zelda a better game. Pretty soon you won’t be able to tell the difference between Zelda and Final Fantasy 15.

Absolutely not! What I like about Zelda games is that you're all alone as Link. "It's dangerous to go alone... take this"

More playable characters would ruin the game for me. I really hated that stupid fairy in the N64 game. It was so annoying!

@Maxpowers_32: Yeah it was like they were holding your hand. Fun regardless.

I would kind of like the game to have Link and Zelda travelling together, for a change. Zelda was actually kind of funny in BotW, and I remember a few of the people who worked on the game saying that was their favorite character to work with for that game, so maybe they want the chance to flesh her out in a new adventure?

Maybe they'll pull a twist this time around and have the player controlling Zelda from the start, and being joined by Link a bit later on?

every games nowadays seemingly needing a sidekick or a companion for travel, just allows link to talk and explain stuff when needed. The guy should at least aware of history of his world.

I like Navi, I like the sidekick sequences in Wind Waker, I like Midna. But that sword thing in Skyward Sword was lame beyond belief. As long as it fits the story and it's not annoying, I'm fine with a sidekick. For the BotW sequel, though? I'd probably prefer to be alone again.

@livingdeadman: Maybe in an Unchartered kind of way, it would be interesting. Perhaps Link and Zelda adventuring together, chatting and the ability to fight Ganon together. That could work!

I've only like good programed side kicks, some are awful or just okay. Atreus (GOW) and Elizabeth (Bioshock) where great companions. However in saying that, I've never liked the idea of Link having a side kick though.

No sidekick. Link is supposed to be alone, hence "It's dangerous to go alone...take this." His sword (weapon) is his companion, and his horse or his horses in BotW.

How about a Zelda game where you play as ZELDA and you save Link? Link cant be the only capable hero in Hyrule.

Why, though? Why flip them? Because pc? It just sounds beyond lame to me..

I guess now is the time to do something different though, with Ganon possibly being gone for good.
