Also, pertaining to Zelda:
Spoiler (Highlight to read):
The mysterious bike rider that saves Link from the men that attacked the church is my modern version of Sheik. Zelda slips away from the castle and tries to live a life away from the royal pampering. She ends up getting interrupted by a religious/magical upset caused by these men stealing important religious/magical items from specific places all over Hyrule.

In the UK's case, the role of royalty is mainly ceremonial right? ...but nowadays royalty can serve in the military, go to college etc..I can see that ability fitting Zelda really well. Her current medieval position caters less to her personality ( tomboy, adventurous ) than the future would. It would be the perfect opportunity to take her even furthur away from the helpless Princess role that she is often forced into.

To the spoiler, I figured as much when I read it..and that role is appropriate.
So, your thoughts on a villian? I'm not sure the classic evil villian taking over the kingdom by magical and brute force method would work so well..a more subversive approach ( like the Emperor used in Star Wars ) may be the ticket. Ganondorf ( or whoever ) would need to be more devious.
