The designs are good, but it bugs me that it's basically (and unfortunately) a gender swap, especially when Shiek is already a well-established character and a game or spin-off focused on her mechanics would be great.

Ehh i dunno, she's still built around magic and wisdom like always, she doesn't carry a shield and she's apparently more acrobatic. Sounds like a lot more than just female Link. I love how Prince Link is a helpless-noble-but-adventure-craving type like so many "strong" female protagonists.
