Something Twilight Princess, and to a lesser extent Skyward Sword, experimented with was placing Link in the context of one or more people close to him who served as support characters and introduced another kidnapping nuance.
TP emphasized Link's struggle to rescue Ilia, Colin, and the Ordon gang from King Bulblin's clutches more than the primary story arc involving Zant and Midna until after the Lakebed Temple. Although the children were unfortunately quickly discarded, Nintendo attempted to continue the more layered plot by introducing the Resistance and highlighting their active role in the battle against Ganondorf.
Should Ninty implement a group of NPCs who assist Link during his journey once more? Did Twilight Princess strike a chord with Link's circle of friends? Or was that a "one and done" deal and you would prefer if Link rode solo?
