I know that second point goes against the point of the game, but it's kind of a bummer that she has to channel Link in order to fight anyone directly. She barely has any agency in her own game.

And it's not like there isn't any precedent for her fighting! She uses a bow and arrow plus magic in the other games, she kicks butt in Smash! I think I'm salty because getting to kick ass as Zelda is so rare, and I got a brief taste of it in Cadence of Hyrule, which isn't even a mainline game
