During the leaked trailer shown off for Hyrule Warriors 3DS today, GameXplain caught a hidden detail which could mean a few things. Keep in mind this is all speculation.

GameXplain seems to believe that a Female Link character may make an appearance, or even be playable in Hyrule Warriors 3DS. Given the appearance of the crossbow, this doesn’t seem like too much of a stretch. After all, Hyrule Warriors is non-canon, meaning a female Link wouldn’t mess with the oh-so controversial official timeline, where Link is always represented as a male.

Our Editor-in-Chief, The Boss Man Nathaniel Rumphol-Janc, theorizes that it could be Link’s female sister. He also says that the item could simply just appear in the game, with no connection to a female Link. This is also a very likely possibility, but as GameXplain says, you never know.
