Development
During the developement of Hyrule Warriors, Linkle was originally conceived to be a female version of Link and was to be like a little sister to him, but the idea was later scrapped. After the game's release, sketches of her were included in the Hyrule Warriors art book included in the Japanese limited editions of the game.[2] Despite being incomplete at the time, she was one of the popularly requested characters in the open call for playable candidates posted onto the game's Twitter.[3] She was finally announced for Hyrule Warriors Legends during a Nintendo Direct, 12 November 2015, where she was revealed with a slightly different design and two Crossbows, rather than just one as shown in her early concept arts.[1]
