Poll: Should Princess Zelda Still Need Saving?

[ScreamingViking]

I've not actually played the series, but doesn't Zelda have the triforce of wisdom or somesuch? Physical strength and combating enemies isn't her strength, and that's perfectly fine. But if she's supposed to be incredibly wise as well as an experienced monarch (or at least trained to be a monarch) then she could be badass on wits alone, regardless of being captured.
Solely being kidnapped doesn't make anyone a damsel in distress. The Joker, Loki, Khan, the bad guy from skyfall, they all got captured and nobody thought they were weak for it.

Yes, because it's getting repetitive and boring.
Which I guess is Zelda in a nutshell, but basically I'm up for anything that shakes up the Zelda formula, because the series really needs it at this point!

Nintendo's philosophy of game design is to keep making the same game with slightly better visuals at each iteration. If Zelda fans wanted something different, they wouldn't still be Zelda fans by now.

It's basically like asking for a Call of Duty game in which there is world peace and you fight aliens/zombies/vampires/etc instead - nice idea, but won't happen on this franchise.
