For Zelda's debut as a playable main character, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom gives the princess the cutest dang horse the series has ever seen
Firstly, the most important thing from the new Echoes of Wisdom trailer: this darn hors. They look incredibly cute in that Link's Awakening remake art style, and Princess Zelda can beckon a horse to her by leaving out carrots for them to find - a far cry from Link's method of sneaking up and mounting them in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
What's more, horses can be called from anywhere in Echoes of Wisdom's overworld, once Zelda has learned the spell to conjure carrots. You'll also be able to ride straight over weaker enemies while atop a horse, instantly defeating them, as well as jumping over smaller terrain obstacles like fences. These horses aren't just cute - they put in a shift, too.
The new Zelda trailer also unveils the Princess' new ability for her adventure: Bind. This ability lets Zelda pair herself with an object or creature, and lets her either move the object as she moves, or move along with the creature. If Zelda Bonds with a spider, for example, you can have it walk up a wall, which will similarly left Zelda up and over said wall.
Conversely, you can use Reverse Bond to go where an object goes. If there's a platform above you for example, which moves horizontally and bridges a gap, you can attach Zelda to said platform with Reverse Bond, and when it crosses the gap in motion, it'll pull Zelda along for the ride.
Zelda even has her own version of Fi from Skyward Sword. Tri is a ghostly new companion which sort of powers some of Zelda's abilities like Bind, and I just hope they're a damn sight less annoying than Fi.
