Why does Nintendo keep making Link so feminine? I just want to play as the masculine, buff link from Ocarina fuck.

That's funny, anon. You're funny.
Link was at his most masculine in TP anyway. Fucker wrestled goats and gorons and threw a giant steel ball halfway across a room without needing bullshit magical gloves.

you should so play Ocarina again. you're nostalgia glasses are fogging up

Effeminate men are manly in Japanese culture.
Stronger/manly men are made fun of, and typically the butt of the joke. They are often stereotyped as Americans or super American military macho dudes.

Buff men in Japan are treated like they are compensating for something, insecure, or something else. There have been very effeminate male characters in Japan that were changed to females in America to not clash with our culture.

Link has always looked like a metrosexual,plus he's a elf.

Completely untrue. Don't act like you know anything about Japanese culture just because you've seen five whole animes.

he looked kinda tough in the artwork, but his in game model looks like a goon. Look at the way he limply holds his sword and shield while idle. Nigga be lazy. OoT link is ready for action every single moment

that shit triggers me as well

It's developed by Japanese people.
Men are generally more effeminate in Japanese culture.
Apparently in Japan, hyper-masculinity is considered to be pretty gay.

Not enough love for OoT 3D. They got the graphics to match the art pretty damn well.

They're barely noticeable in most of the game.

OoT Link's in-game model doesn't exactly make a graceful transition either.
Also, every Link is pretty lazy, that's one of his few universal traits. Every major Zelda game since aLttP introduces Link by showing him sleeping in for a good reason.
