What do you make of Link being shown with and without a hood? Is the hood going to have some sort of central game play mechanic to it?
To show you can change all equipment on link not just his weapons but also his clothes
WEATHER MECHANICS
>>340939540
That's his stealth mode. Certain areas of the world will be restricted, and you will need to stealth through them.
Me on the right (i'm a female btw)
>>340939540
Maybe no iconic green cap.
Now hood.
>>340939540
It's to cover up the fact one of the Links is female.
>>340939863
>>340940136
>>340940336
Could be all true.
>>340939863
which you could do since link to the past.
>>340939540
One of them is Venom "Punished" Link, a fallen legend.
>>340941935
Hopefully more fleshed out though.
>>340942548
One does look like he has a mark on his cheek while the other doesn't.
>>340941935
Not really, those were permanent upgrades you couldnt even turn off
I'm so gay for Link when I see him I just want to kiss him
>>340940336
>>340939540
WHAT IF SHEILA WAS A BOY
>>340944625
>since
the masks are costume pieces in a way.
Also in TP you can change armor no problem
>>340939540
>roc's cape is back
HYPE AS FUCK
Much like in Red Dead Redemption, if Link chooses to murder innocent civilians, she can don this hood to hide her identity.
If she does not do this, Lawmen will be dispatched to hunt her down.
Please be excited.
>>340939540
looks badass
>>340940878
>pick female link

Far too deep for Nintendo
>>340945372
nice meme
>>340945372
being able to murder innocent civilians
shame nintendo will never be this innovative like rockstar.
Because each time you complete a dungeon a year passes in the game, and your relationships with characters change over time, as well as your appearance.

>>340946265
>>340946178
You do realize Link wore the same hood in the first trailer?
>>340945960
Femlink fags are scum. I'll be glad when this releases and it finally shuts their rumors up.
>>340946470
that's his shoulder
>>340946265
Thats his shoulder
>>340939540
My guess is that Link was either adopted by the Sheikah or the Gerudo nd he's actually a foreigner to Hyrule, specifically one who wasn't exactly welcomed there, at least initially.
AKA he's doing shady shit there, or someone or something is hunting him down, and the hooded cloak has some sort of stealth or invisibility mechanic implemented into it.
>>340940336
I could definitely believe the stealth grass shit that is in other games
>>340946630
My guess is that you're retarded and worthless.
>>340946265

It honestly doesn't matter. Would be fun to see /v/ get BTFO
YOU CAN CHOOSE TO BE A MALE LINK
YOU CAN CHOOSE TO BE A FEMALE LINK
NO ONE IS TAKING YOUR LINK AWAY CISCUM
>>340939540
Right side has tits.
Girl/Male Link.
The terrorists won.
>>340947671
Nintendo knows better than to dilute an iconic character. It isn't happening at all, you nutjob.
>Female link wears a hijab
Top fucking kek
>>340947857
>Nintendo knows better than to dilute an iconic character
>>340947857
i don't think it will happen but it won't be diluting anything if it did. it's an empty, mute character
>>340947156
Female Link is fine, if they don't give her a unique model
Link is already super feminine. Just make her use the same model but now all the grunts and moans are from a female VA.
>>340948010
The only people who say that are the people who have no investment in him as a character, meaning their opinion on the matter is moot. Plenty of people really like Link and don't want to see him changed.
I don't see why you niggas so scared
Like if Emily "Lying Hack" Rogers was somehow right with her "leak", then it's not like we're getting ONLY a female Link
We're getting the -option- to play as Female Link
It's basically the same thing as DK Mode for Golden Eye
>>340948023
>Female Link is fine
No, it absolutely isn't.
>Link is already super feminine
No he isn't.
>>340948325
It shouldn't even be an option. Link being male is part of his character. Changing that changes Link, and there's no reason to do that.
>>34093954 I dont know if the link on the right is posed weird, its just a fucking lanyard. Kinda looks like boobs
>>340948147
you just made that up. people can like link as a character, and want a female incarnation.
>>340948348
Go watch the Zelda U reveal trailer again
The one where people originally freaked out and had arguments whether female or male.
>>340939540
Princess monoke refs, like the original trailer was just a rip of ashitaka fighting demon boar
>>340948469
>It shouldn't even be an option. Link being male is part of his character.
What fucking character? He is literally a generic hero dude.
>>340948325
What has she ever been wrong about
>>340948517
ITs his shoulder
>>340948536
I didn't make anything up. If you care so little about the character that you think it's okay to ruin him then you don't deserve any say on the matter.
>>340948517
That's a shoulder
>>340948517
>>340940878
>female Link has to cover up
Was this game directed by NoA?
>>340948743
I don't see how the gender matters at all. I'm more pissed off that the trailers haven't even shown the iconic green tunic or even a fucking sword let alone the master sword, which is way more important
I've never seen someone jump the gun so hard. They look identical to me, why are people screaming oor is female?
>>340948590
He doesn't look feminine there, either.
I swear to god I kinda want Link to be a grill just so I can laugh at all the buttmad neckbeards who give a fuck about how Link looks
like what u guys were fine with cartoony link and wolf link BUT GIVE LINK A VAGINA THAT'S GOING TOO FAR!!!
>>340949006
because they get more retweets/clicks
>>340948517
>>340948147
With a few exceptions, every Link is literally a different character. If nothing changed what would be the point?
>>340949006
everyone is trying to be the first to report it and also to get clicks and views, they too look identical to me, Link is really femenine.
>>340949168
There's no need for change. He's a well established and well liked character. Changing a character for the sake of change and nothing else is a stupid move.
>>340949012
>fanart
He definitely looks feminine in the trailer.
>People assuming this link is a girl based on looks alone
Wow, sexist much?
>>340949000
I like that they're diverting from the pattern. For Nintendo, that's a huge step in the right direction
>>340939540
I'm more concerned by the fact that Link is righthanded all of a sudden
>>340949337
Get your eyes checked.
>>340949092
>buttmad neckbeards
The neckbeards and numales are the ones that want female Link. They'll be the ones crying when the rumors are disproven.
>>340949549
Pretty sure he was lefthanded in the first trailer they showed
>>340947156
>>340949486
So it's ok to divert from the green tunic and master sword but not the gender of a reincarnation? you have your priorities wrong
>>340949295
Why? Have any of the changes so far been stupid?
Link had been a child and a teenager, blonde, brown, and pink haired, right and left handed, had earrings and not, could change his size and species.
Clearly there are a number of people who want a female Link, but somehow this change is the bad one?
>>340950019
>pink haired
That was a glitch
>yfw these lanyards look better than the shitty cel shaded game graphics
>>340950305
you're thinking of a bug, and it wasn't even a bug because they were forced to do it due to the limitations of the hardware
>>340947156
>>340950483
That's how the game looks
Just look at the picture. Eyes are shaped differently, different hair style and color, different face shape. It's female Link
>>340950305
>>340950531
Does that really matter? Motherfucker had pink hair.
>>340950531
>they were forced to do it due to the limitations of the hardware
Thank you for spreading misinformation. It doesn't take any more than 10 seconds to see that Link's sprite in aLttP has both yellow and brown they could have used for hair
>>340948348
>Say I'm working out so I can look like TP Link
>Friends call me a fag
Do people not remember what he looked like in that game? He was kinda ripped.
>>340939540
Where did these even come from? Are they what they're giving away at E3?
>>340950950
Whatever. it wasnt a glitch or a bug
>>340951217
its a lanyard for e3 visitors
>>340948590
>Go watch the Zelda U reveal trailer again
>The one where he had a ridiculous manjaw and looked manlier than any link we've had in the last decade
That looks like Zelda
>>340949935
Wearing a certain thing or using a certain thing are things that he does, being male is a thing that he is. Big difference between changing those.
>>340939540
Because they need to fill 2 sides on the lanyard but only revealed one character
>>340947156
If she isn't wearing spats then I'll be fucking upset.
HD
>>340947156
>>340952109
unf, to the dual monitor
>>340951918
but they're reincarnations, meaning diferent people anyway. they all wear the same clothes and weild the master sword, that's the only consistent thing between them
>>340939540
The hooded one isa girl
>>340952109
IDK how I can be hyped about a game that we just have like less than a minute of footage and a couple of screenshots.
>>340952291
>that's the only consistent thing between them
>being male
>being hylian
>being courageous
>being initially lazy with a tendency to oversleep
>being left handed until motion controls forced a change
Yes it's generally a different person to facilitate the plot, but the character has stayed consistent throughout the series.
>>340947156
>>340952109
what's with the giant swords in the background?
>>340953678
watch towers/ beacons
>>340946318
But she predicted Paper Mario!
>>340945145
Mah nigga, I loved that show.
Eric 4 Life
>>340953678
You can see a few of them in that picture. Pretty sure they are some kind of tower.
>>340955039
Why people like to go after her that much? Every leaker is usually wrong 90% of the time, despite people wanting to suck their dicks during the 10%, it's because she is more recognizable than the usual "a neogaf user"?
>>340947156
Don't post that shit, James has uncucked himself
>>340939540
Link will put the hood up during stealth sections. We AssCreed now.
>>340945656
Remember when OoT came out and had day/night AND weather? In 1998? And it single handedly validated the 3D adventure genre and established mechanics still used 18 years after?
I miss that Nintendo.
>>340947671
Literally lore rape
>>340947156
>>340948695
>his
>>340955596
We literally have several different links, how another one would rape anything?
>>340939540
When the hood is on people will mistake him for a little girl.
>>340955941
>she
>>340956293
30 years icon status
>>340956293
Their logic is that Link isn't allowed to reincarnate as a girl because the "original Link" was male.
Or something.
I dunno.
People are retarded.
i just want it to be good. is that too much to ask?
remember when games were good? I miss when the industry didn't have all this drama and it was just people having fun and making games.
Hooded one is actually zelda in disguise as guy she has to hide her identity so she wraps her breasts and hides her face. There will be two characters this time that you can switch between.....I wish lol
>>340956779
>People have standards
Fixed that for ya ;)
>>340956897
We were invaded by a loud obnoxious minority
>>340956779
literally the entire reason he keeps reincarnating is because Hylia wants his dick
>>340956897
>remember when games were good?
Yeah I remember playing Splatoon, Rocket League,Undertaleand Xenoblade Chronicles X last year...
>>340957040
We saw link removing the hood in the very first trailer, anyone thinking that the hooded version is a different character is literally retarded
>>340955439
Because despite her spewing obvious bullshit and having leaks everyone with half a brain could predict (make up), everyone and their mom thinks she's the greatest leaker of all time.
>>340947156
That might be one of the very few things that would prevent me from buying the new LoZ
>>340958059
The spirit reincarnates because there's evil to fight, but you could say that hylia always come back as a girl because she likes having boobs
>>340958278
>she's the greatest leaker of all time.
gross
>>340939540
It's just for fashion, you fucks. New Link is /fa/.
>>340958278
This happens with every leaker, you could hang out on /vp/ when the launch for sun and moon approaches and you'll see people making fanclubs for leakers, we also had that with the smash leakers, even after some of them were proved fake several times
With how Nintendos fan base has almost all but dried up, them making a female Link and pissing off most of the "Link has to be a guy" crowd would be a stupid move. Then again Nintendo has been making decisions that border on autistic anyway so it might happen.
>>340958479
>there's evil to fight
why doesn't she just stop reincarnating ganon?
>>340958059
This.
It's like people who want a girl Link don't actually understand the series.
>People don't realize Linkle is actually female Tingle.
>>340953678
Landmarks/radio towers/probes/whatever you want to call them. For fast travel, probably.
>>340958918
they can retconn something. not like it even matters.
>>340958757
But Emily Rogers' popularity goes beyond 4chan. every goddamn nintendo site and Youube channel will talk about her "leaks". She could fart in a train and they'd make articles about it.
>>340958909
Because there's always a moron trying to bring him back
>>340958757
The problem with Emily Rogers is that every single time she gets proven obviously fake but people still fucking pay attention to her like she's never said ONE wrong thing.
EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. It's fucking rage inducing thing.
>>340959431
It's the whole basis for why there are multiple links in the first place anon.
Link does not exist in a vacuum. He has reason and purpose in his world. In spite of what people might think, he's not just an avatar of the player. He is his own character, and we all take his role.
>>340959491
Again, I see this happening with every leaker, specially in this age where random tweets are considered a good source for "jounalists"
The only thing different about her is that she seems to have some influential friends
>>340958479
>>340958909
It's actually the opposite, Demise cursed Link so that his incarnation would always be there to terrorize his and Hylia's descendants/reincarnations.

>In celebration of E3 kicking into full gear, and new Zelda on the horizon, now is a great time to unveil a piece I did for my patreon (www.patreon.com/Odera) a few months ago.

>>340960275
I'm still bummed by the curse because that's not really used, you could say that vaati and the guy from spirit tracks are also under this, but most of the time is just the same ganon coming back, you don't really need a curse when it's a guy with a personal grudge

Gee, imagine. Now if you don't mind, I'm waiting for news about the new Zelda where I'll wield my Armless Robot Girl Sword, reincarnate because Goddess has a wet vaj, and fight against I'M EVIL 'CAUSE DESTINY LULZ Ganondorf.
Truly, Skyword Sword is not a travesty. Can I get a Zelda HYYYYYYYYYPE?
>>340960578

>>340939540

>>340961223
I liked Skyward Sword.
And those people hardly get to decide what's canon.
>>340961223
I think a lot of people liked Skyward Sword. Granted those people are shiteaters that like anything related to LoZ, but it's hardly hated.
>>340960578
>nigress
No thanks mate.
You probably have to hide your gay Hylian ears in certain places in order to not get lynched.
Wouldn't be the first time in LoZ we've seen hylians getting hunted down.
>>340961134
same, actually. well, there was this https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/plugindigitallabel/aurion-legacy-of-the-kori-odan
but it doesn't look like something I'm interested in.
>>340960578
Just fucking start off on your own African inspired stories, stop being derivative of other fiction that shit's for weakass writers with nothing to say or show.
>>340961831
>I liked skyward sword
you're in the minority. even aonuma hates it
>>340962262
sometimes they'll start out blatantly copying something and gradually change it to fit their own style. most things do this.
>>340947156
>>340961223
The demise curse was only needed to explain the first appearence of ganon, he has a personal grudge with zelda and the hero, the curse doesn't matter for ganon after OoT, in WW his quest was entirely personal, trying to bring hyrule back to rule it, he wouldn't even need zelda if she didn't had part of the triforce
>>340947156
>>340940136
>Snow
>Rain

I believe it.
>>340963071
Yeah but taking very european-style fantasy and just switching the ethnicity of a single character isn't going to make that story cohesive or anything but a fanfiction.
>>340962150
>people discover about the demise curse
>hylians start to being chased because people believes that killying every one that could be related to hylia or the hero would stop the evil from coming back
I would play that
>>340964290
>the curse goes to a Gerudo instead
>Now Hylians start genociding the gerudos as an act of revenge, since they have a proper excuse to do so now
Yeah this would be amusing.
>>340947156
>>340956293
Their thinking is more in line with SJW logic than you might think. See, it only counts as rape when it involves a woman.
>>340947156
>>340944625
What are you talking about? You could switch tunics in multiple games. They've had that since Oot
>>340976623
All visual changes in previous games were gameplay upgrades with specific uses, I think what people are getting at here is that you will be able to change your outfit just for the sake of cosmetics.
>>340945656
nigga they put pickable fruits in the trees
>>340978861
Wow, a lot of fucking open world games do that.
Big deal.
The only thing I'm legitimately curious about is the non-green clothes, which so far seem to be the default apparel in the game.
>>340979151
Nah, if anything I take it as a sign that we're going to get multiple armor or clothing sets to customize, the typical green hero's tunic will come later on after playing a decent portion of the main story mode.
>>340947156
>>340979597
They did it, the absolute madmen.
Am I the only one that is totally indifferent to the idea of getting to choose Link's gender?
>>340981491
No. Actually yes, because I'm all for it.
>>340981803
Actually now that I think of it, this creates the problem of if there ever was a Zelda movie, which gender would Link be?
But there's never going to be a movie, so I guess that's a moot point.
>>340982617
>there ever was a Zelda movie
theres no fucking dialog what the shit would a zelda movie be about you fucking idiot
>>340956395
Ok am I the only one who doesn't see anything remotely masculine about Wu? She just looks like a really, really, really fucking ugly woman.
>>340983356
>he's never seen 10,000 Years BC
>>340982617
>never going to be a Zelda movie or anime
>when Nintendo has consistently stated that they're now very interested in turning their IPs into movie and anime franchises to the point where we're getting a pokemon movie
No, we're definitely getting something eventually. And they'll keep Link as a guy because adventure movies with female protagonists don't really sell under some rare exceptions, and Link has been male for 30 fucking years
>>340983984
>the point where we're getting a pokemon movie
How underaged are you, exactly?
>>340984164
Oh, my bad, I meant a live-action pokemon movie. Forgot to type that in.

Isn't there a Twilight Princess manga releasing in Japan? It'd be nice if they made an anime adaptation of that.
>>340984801
No, they really shouldn't base any of the potential anime adaptations on the manga. The manga books are all shit.
>>340983793

>>340985032
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

They're that bad? I've never got the chance to read any of them. I only recently heard about the Twilight Princess one and thought I'd give it a read.
>>340960578
does this artist know that zelda is a beautiful princess?
That might be the ugliest dark elf I've seen be given that much attention to detail.
>>340984980
Wind Waker one is funny as shit though.
>>340986156
The WW one was the only decent one.
