(Sorry if this is a double post)
Believe me, Tales of and FF have way too many things that Zelda does better. =\ I really REALLY don't think Link's "partner" will be any where near as strong as Midna's character. I highly doubt they would repeat that same concept again. I already see Link's new partner as a laid back kind of character. Don't sweat it just yet.
Yeah, I just ignore that.
