I'm seriously hoping that this game is drastically different than the previous incarnations. The Zelda format hasn't changed too much since LttP and it's getting old. I know that Nintendo is in the business of remaking the same games over and over forever until infinity, but fuck, it's time to move on.
The girl looks identical to the queen of the faeries from TP. Saying that she is the Master Sword is quite the stretch considering the resemblance.
I mean, look at the hair, colour of her skin and the shape of her eyes. Identical. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, it's probably a fucking duck.
Also, all Zelda games are pretty damn easy and that's not going to change. Nintendo wants children to play these games and if they make them harder for us folk who grew up with the series, they're going to alienate the casual audience they're marketing to this gen.
If a fairy can inhabit a boomerang, perhaps they can inhabit a sword?
The boomerang still looked like a boomerang though. Why would she look like herself while inhabiting a sword? I fully admit I could be wrong, but this theory seems like grasping at straws.

PS. Link was better as a lefty.
That's what she looked like in Wind Waker, not Twilight Princess.

I don't see any grasping. She has the design elements of the master sword exactly. Like you said if it looks like a duck. She looks like the sword.
I don't get how this is even up for debate after that image that shows the resemblance part by part. If she isn't the sword itself, she clearly has some connection to it.

She looks like the grown up version of the Queen Fairy from Wind Waker, not a sword. Honestly, look at the picture I linked and another poster linked a few pages back. If you don't see the obvious similarities, you're willfully blind.

If I have to honestly load up photoshop to overlay the image I posted onto the concept art, I'm going to be flabbergasted. There are way more similarities to the Queen Fairy than the Master Sword.
More games in the Zelda series need ways to replay the boss fights.
I bought Majora's Mask as soon as it was released on Virtual Console. I beat Woodfall Temple and haven't played since. Then again, I've beaten it at least four times before.
I dunno but ever since eiji aonuma has taken over the Zelda games you can see there are very distinct types of art and game play that he likes to have. The fairies and magical women fall into that spot. Also with the living magical item that you use in most of the games. I don't care for the guy much.
Oh, look. My childhood hero hasn't been butchered and turned into a child. Now provided they don't find some other way to inject hokey kindergarten crap into the game - I might just have to buy it.
Ignoring that Link was a kid in all the Zelda titles but OoT and Twilight Princess of course.

I really hope they put the magic system back in this next Zelda.
Taking it out so it would be more casual for gamers was kinda dumb.
I never got that. I mean it's a green bar. The bar goes down when you use magic items.
How is that complicated?
Maybe people who couldn't find the optional Bombos magic really hated having a blank spot in their inventory? I mean sure, the magic system from Zelda II was abysmal, but in LttP?

I could accuse you of being blind, I never said that she didn't look like the fairy from Wind Waker, in fact I actually agreed that it does look the same. I think she looks like both. It's you who is ignoring things as I don't know how you could not see the master sword design cues staring right at you.
Like I said Eiji Aonuma has got to be the dude who is asking for the living items in the games. Its kinda creepy.
Well Items with souls/personality are fairly standard in mythology. Also King of Red lions( fine I'll admit I forgot about that) was a walkie talkie. Past that no modern Zelda has had a "living" item factor into gameplay.

Minish Cap's cap, Enzlo was it? Or do you mean 3D by modern?
Hmm...Thinking about it every mask in Majora's Mask had a soul or piece of soul. That is how they were made. Define "modern" Zelda anyways.
New theory guys, the girl is that accordian player from OoT.

Gonna play some more MM today, try and beat Woodfall temple. I'm not looking forward to any of the later ones. At all. Especially without a player's guide.
Edit: That post from Algertman reminded me of something I was gonna mention. Navi. What the hell happened to her? Where did she go at the end of OoT, and why did she leave? Was it all part of what Zelda said to Link, go back and live the life you were supposed to or something? And Navi had no part in that? Cuz it must've weighed on Link heavily cuz off he goes looking for her, and ends up in Termina. And at the end of that, you still don't find her. What the hell?

Is your point that you can't refight the Woodfall boss? Because MM is the only Zelda that I know of that you can refight the boss in, just reset time and enter the temple, you can step onto the plaque at the start fo the temple and go straight to the boss.

She does look like the Great Fairy from WW. Her hair, eyes and colour of her skin are similiar.
She has more in common with the Master Sword.
Both sets of similarities could be coincidental but I'd say the similiarities to the Great Fairy are more likely to be coincidental than the similarities with the Master Sword are. Also Link doesn't have a sword in the picture and in the main Zeldas (OoT, WW, TP) Link always gets the Master Sword eventually.
Also whilst the person looks like the Great Fairy from WW she looks nothing like the Great Fairy from TP.
edit:
Wait, do you get the Master Sword in TP? I played it when it came out but havent touched it since...

Despite being in the same post, those are two completely seperate statements that have nothing to do with each other.
You fight the bosses again in Ganon's Tower in Wind Waker, but that's only one more time.
After seeing the pic above highlighting the similarities, anyone who is still able to claim they can't see the clear and obvious sword elements can go rejoin their friends the creationists and holocaust deniers whilst we laugh at their highly compelling "Lalala not listening!" argument.
Also the bird can happily resemble both the fairy queen and the Master Sword. The two are far from mutually exclusive.

Enzlo didn't actually do anything though he provided colorful commentary( technically he shrunk you I guess). I suppose by living I should clarify. It talked to you and was a basic gameplay mechanic. The masks were the hopes and dreams of the deceased not their souls.

No resemblance.
Isn't that just a regular great fairy?

How do I get it back? Do I just have to go back to day one?
I haven't played MM in ages, but there's a guy in the town in the middle who will sell stuff stolen by the bird on one of the three nights.

Thanks!
I'm guessing it must be the curiosity shop that's rarely open...
He'll sell it back to you at obscene prices!
My sword got stolen by that bird, and he wanted 200 rupies for it!
Went back in time, I have my sword again.
If you kill that bird he'll drop a silver rupie, worth a whopping 200 rupies!

Yeah, I don't get it either.
They had a guy play his hat, a girl as his sword is not that far out there.
Wind Waker didn't have one.
