I don't think it's forshadowing at all, but a game where we get to play as someone other than Link I will welcome with arms if it has the title of Legend of Zelda. No, I'm not one of those...sillier Zelda fans. "Legend of Zelda" just means that the game has really high standards, nothing more (of course, barring CD-I games). Although, if Hylia makes a playable appearance at all if ever, I do not want her to be weak nor do I want her story to be as bad as it was "orally passed on" in Skyward Sword. I didn't like the whole goddess aspect of her, because she's somehow a mortal without any real explanation.
