Looks cool, and a major first letting players be Zelda
This isn’t the first game where you play as Zelda.

Wow, today I learned. Nintendo is pretty protective of its IP, so it’s nuts that these were allowed to be made by another company in the first place.
Does Spirit Tracks and Phantom Zelda count?
Can we just pretend that it is…
Absolutely not. Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.
The CD-i Zelda games had a really fun charm to them. Someone made a really fun homage to them, called Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore, and it's a sweet love letter of a game, complete with crudely hand-drawn cut scenes with confusing perspectives. The developer is "Seedy Eye", or... y'know... CD-i. ;)
Super fair take, haha
