Yeah, now that we think about it, Princess Zelda in Spirit Tracks wasn’t exactly the most flattering portrayal of the titular heiress. In Ocarina of Time , she masqueraded around as this badass ninja, in Twilight Princess , she was a killer with a bow and arrow — heck, in Wand of Gamelon , you actually get to play as Zelda. As Awkward Zombie points out in last week’s Wrapup-winning comic ” Off Track ,” all she can do in the series’ second DS outing is follow a dotted line, often into a wall, obstacle or slavering jaws of a hideous beast
