After 23 years, Nintendo is finally getting with the times. In the upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks DS game, Princess Zelda will actually be adventuring alongside Link as his companion, not a victim who gets kidnapped every few years.
Instead of running around as a mysterious blonde man with a lyre (still don't get that), Zelda shall be accompanying Link as a spirit, with a unique ability to possess suits of armor called "Phantoms." Of course, she'll remain Link's guiding voice, traversing Hyrule on a customizable train, solving the usual puzzles as the storyline gradually reveals itself. Spirit Tracks also promises a closer look at Zelda as an iconic character who, until now, has never really been in the Legend of Zelda spotlight.
No, you are not. Good idea the first time, second time just seems to be the same thing with a change of character for Zelda and some trains. But maybe I've been using the Internet too long.

And also! Sheik is obviously a separate entity, clearly created for fangirls everywhere! He's just hiding right now
Seems like it might actually please me more than the last DS Zelda incarnate. We'll see.
Also interesting that the 'partner' isn't just a Phantom, as originally assumed. ;p
