W-why cant I play as a strong female /v ?
I dunno I think it'd be cool for link to be a girl. Yuri is the purest form of love
I don't know, why don't you click the link in your screenshot?
Weird how both his retarded tweet and the link both allude to a reason, but neither give it. It's almost like they are baiting people to click the link...
>>341359210
Why do people feel the need to keep saying this in every thread?
The reason is because Link is a male..
If the main protagonist of an upcoming Zelda game was Princess Zelda, would the same crowd demand the option of making her playable as a male?
>playing as female
>instead of a qt boy
what are you, gay?
>>341359031
for those who don't wanna click, whats the reason?
Becuase they didn't want to make a separate model and set of costumes for the western version.
You have other as it is thankfully 2016. It's a shame we have to boycott Nintendo though, they were an important part of my childhood
>>341359424
its called a meme
Is this the state that video games are in, that the fact that an established video game character didn't get his gender arbitrarily swapped is somehow a bad thing?
>>341359031
Wow, that is the most fucking 1000% clickbait shit.
midna and tetra spinoff fucking when?
just play tomb raider
>>341359031
Zelda is a fuccboi so his gender doesn't matter.
What's the reason?
It'd also be cool to have the main three change genders some times to play up the whole reincarnation thing from SS. Female Ganon would be dope
>>341359523
Nintendo thinks it makes no real sense to give the lead female role to someone that's not zelda in a zelda game

Making Zelda playable would give Link nothing to do. Also something about the balance of the triforce.
>>341360135
It's not even a criticism. You cannot criticise someone for fucking choosing a character's gender.
>>341359031

Imagine if there was a gender option in Zelda U. There would be nothing but butthurt.
>>341360315
Not really
it honestly makes no sense to change a constant like Link's gender without it being an important theme in the story, and Nintendo is not interested in telling that kind of story. Legend of zelda borrows most of its symbology to fairy tales and in those girls are smart and wise, not strong fighters

Why is it an issue for people here to have an option to play a female Link?
Like, I remember discussing this type of shit here 4 years ago and a lot of people had no problem. Suddenly it's the most taboo thing ever, it can't be just because people are so petty they want to deny something some people want solely because SJWs might like it as well?
>>341360746
But then it wouldn't be link.
Its throwing out the entire core of the franchise for the sake of some retarded few who don't even fucking matter in the grand scheme of things.

So what is the reason? I dont wanna go to that link
>>341359465

>>341359386

>>341360047
Its fucking scary that they even acknowledged it. If they changed his gender because of some whiny lunatics I wouldn't buy another zelda game.

>>341360496
No, because the reason I want a female Link has nothing to do with progressivism or politics of any sort. It makes my dick hard and it'd be a nice change of pace.
Pretty much the same reason some bara fags want a big gruff tough Link. But I guess a character that is reincarnated every game into a new body needs to look the same forever and ever
Except that tunic and hairstyle, you can change those integral parts of the characters design and it doesn't offend anyone.
>I on't want female Link because Link has always been a guy and to change that is insulting!
>Dude, why would I care that he no longer wears a green tunic? So what if that has been a part of Links design since day 1 and is as integral to the character as his gender or name?
Honestly, it's become funny how /v/ warned me about SJWs taking away things I want or cock blocking things I want but it turned out to be the anti-SJW side that did it.
>>341361368

Yes they have, no point in denying that.
>>341361252
This is the second time in a row Aonuma vetoes the idea of playable female Link. He already got harassed over it in Triforce Heroes and he answered the same thing as now.
>>341359031
This is why Nintendo deserves to die. They live in the past, in a patriarchal society where gender equality doesn't exist. Nintendo is the past, Sony is the future.
>>341360746
But all of those things hes still a male because hes still himself. If hes a female its not the same person and it wouldn't make sense to change his gender after 20 games to pander to a few retards.
>>341360450
>Making Zelda playable would give Link nothing to do

This. A true co-op Zelda game where you can switch between Link and Zelda with different abilities (Link could have items while Zelda could use various kinds of magic for instance) to get through different obstacles would be baller. Basically Tower of Spirits from Spirit Tracks but expanded to the whole game and with much more variety.
>>341359031

Why should sexes be changed to please faggots who think girls can have dicks in the first place?
What DO you even want?

it takes time and money developing shit, animations, voice clips, and models don't drop out of the fucking sky

This so much. Anti-SJWs are resistant to an optional gender for no good reason other than it upsets their delicate sensibilities. It's bee proven time and time again that a female Link would not conflict with the story, the timeline, or the content of the game. Yet, they resist the idea regardless of all reason or logic.
>>341362259
Bingo friendo.
>>341361496
The reason Nintendo gave doesn't really explain why Link can't be a girl though.

Why would you cater to people who are never going to play your game? Everyone that's buying Zelda is perfectly fine with having link be a man like always
Can we just get the SJW to hate this series by telling them Tetra being forced into a dress and makeup and keeping her underground was something to do with evil men forcing women into servitude and even worse because he was the good guy. Zelda was doing fine even with strong female characters until they came along and wanted to change it. glad Nintendo doesnt give in and only put in her Hyrule warriors which has the worst characters with its horrible anime girls that the shitty fans want cannon
Leftism is a mental disorder.
>>341362789

>>341362742
why not make link a black woman, then
>>341360406
>cuckchera
>>341360012
I think the reason was that some curse a long time ago made it so a male named link, a female named Zelda, and a male named ganon would be reincarnated over and over again. and it had to be those genders. Its part of the lore I guess.
>>341362628
>they might do a femlink one day
No they wont. Never ever.
>>341362875
I'm pretty sure people already complained about Tetra getting white-washed when transformed into Zelda.
>>341362789
Someone has altered some of the text for some older games so that Link's never referred to as a guy, but it's not like that's something Nintendo can't do.

>>341359031
Link has always been male. I don't get the point of making him female. You don't change a character for no reason. It's as fucking stupid as making Samus a guy. If you want to play as a female character then play a different fucking game.
>>341362683
If it really has no effect on anything at all there's no sense in wasting the time to include it.
>>341362789
Because that takes effort and knowledge. They dont want to execute any plan, they want others to do it for them. Keep in mind the retards who whine about sucg trivial shit dont actually play games. See: treehouse members
>>341362628

>>341363235
Why isn't Samus male?
>>341361672

>>341359465
No, they'd complain about Zelda being objectified. If not that, they'd complain about every other game not rising to its standard. There's probably a flowchart somewhere.
>>341362947
but since when does nintendo give in to the demands of the fans as is?
people have been crying for years for new games from old nintendo titles and they've been very reluctant with it
like fuck, fans can't even get an official translation of mother 3 for fucksake
>>341362683
Implying that 'anti-SJWs' influenced the Japanese developers. I seriously can't believe how many people on /v/ entertain this shit. Link should remain male because he's fucking male. We don't have to justify it any more than someone has to justify ANY character remaining male. Seriously, kill yourself.
>>341363280
It's not a waste of time if the player enjoys it.
There's no reason to include half of the features they implemented in breath of the wild.
>>341363280
It'd make Zelda more inclusive for girls. The no effect thing applies to the people that want a male Link. They wouldn't lose that at all.
>>341363227
>Give me a good reason, and i'll concede.
Because Link isnt a black woman. He's a white boy.

>>341362993
I don't know why they would do it, but link is getting old
Know how comic book heros change over the decades, sometimes drastically in re-imaginings/reboots?
This is the future for vidya, so at least I would never say never,again
>>341363457
>>341363468
So then they should include an option to make Link gay or transexual as well? People would enjoy it and no one is forcing you to use it.
>>341363227
>Why not? Is there a reason not to have this option? I'm really asking. Give me a good reason, and i'll concede.
Because Link is a character, not an avatar. What little personality he has built up since OoT would disappear once you allow changes to sex/age/appeearance/etc.
>>341362634
this game was the perfect opportunity too, when you can finally take Link's clothes off and dress him up and change his hair and watch him shiver and blush and make cute expressions. this would've been fucking perfect for fapping to female Link, but now it's gone like tears in the rain. next Zelda game (if there even is one) will probably be back to normal, without these features, so even if female Link is added in the future she'll never be as perfect as she could've been now
>>341363423
I'm not asking you to justify anything. Or rather, I'm not asking Aonuma. He can do what he bloody well pleases. My only point is that anti-SJWs cry like babies to OPTIONS. Things that they don't even have to participate in.

>>341363653
>So then they should include an option to make Link gay or transexual as well?
Yeah, why not?
>>341359031
Is the reason because Link is the hero and Link is a boy?
>>341363509
He's second place. Did you mean on top?
FUCKING.

RRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>341363652
And those things do it in retarded ways, there's a reason they're relegated to occasional spin off shit no one care about. That's not how you save or reinvent something, it's a meaningless superficial alteration.
>>341362789
It's not, if people want a female protagonist so much they can play another game. Clearly people love Link, so Nintendo knows what women and men want, Link's hot bod.
>>341362742
yeah because getting a sex change is basically the same thing as changing your clothes right?
not to mention in almost every LoZ game including the very first one Link's clothes change colors at multiple points
and I have almost no doubt in my mind that at some point in BotW you will be able to get green clothes as well
>>341363376
I can't see the future, I can just tell you shit is always changing
by the time it does change you will have a new vidya fuckboy to cream over anyways, zelda an't made in a day
>>341363653
That comparison doesn't work, because most Zelda games don't have a sexual component to it. And when it does touch on the matter, it's generally one-sided. The girl likes Link, but Link doesn't show any real interest in the girls. It's very well that you could roleplay Link as gay without any assistance from the game.
>>341363946
>three most recent girls are the best ones out of all of them
I don't know what point you're trying to make here
>>341363632
You act like the only people who want this are angry american SJWs.
You know desire of this existed before SJW was a thing, right? We had threads about it, even.
>>341363856
Because Link is an established character, not a customizable from the ground up self insert. Something people like >>341363841 obviously dont know about.

Look at this guy. The Anti-SJW are against optional gender. Except their not. They are against identity politics, and every single attempt to force "inclusivity" and "diversity" into games is identity politics by your western developers.
Funny, a leftist lecutring others about being against all ideas regardless of reason or logic. Since all SJW and far left progressives are illogical and are the biggest source of anti-scientific rhetoric in the academic world.

LINK IS A MALE CHARACTER AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN WHY IS THIS A PROBLEM
WHY DOES THIS MEAN NINTENDO HATES WOMEN
What if in one reincanation the Triforce of wisdom is given to Link and the Triforce of courage to Zelda?

I'm glad I hacked my 2ds and downloaded a shit ton of games. I need to leave.
This shit is
Viral
By the way

Good job confirming exactly what was said
Black soldiers existed, to deny that is revising history. Also stop your left vs right bullshit, I'm not some alt right faggot because I dislike SJWs.
>HOW DARE YOU HAVE SEXY FEMALES IN YOUR GAMES THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE I DIDN'T SPEND TWO YEARS GETTING MY WOMEN'S STUDIES DEGREE AT A COMMUNITY COLLEGE TO COME OUT INTO THE REAL WORLD TO SEE MEN OGLING VIRTUAL TITTIES I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS YOU'RE ALL A BUNCH OF PASTY VIRGINS WHO CAN'T HANDLE A REEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAL GURRRRRRRRRRRRRL
>Over half of the Treehouse streaming the new Zelda was them getting all horny and wet while gushing about shirtless Link
I can't even get mad at this shit anymore
>>341363509
It's second.
It would be a terrible business decision to change the gender of a multi-million dollar, iconic character 'because there's no reason not to.'

Neil Druckmann
Writer of The Last of Us and Uncharted 4
>>341364052
He does in SSjust another reason why it's shit.
And none of those things are anymore inherently more sexual than what's already provided in the game, so it does work.
>>341360047
Then why don't they just make Zelda the protagonist? Apparently it was okay in Hyrule Warriors, so what gives?
>>341363958
>I don't know shit about comics:the post
I know you are clueless, but some of people's favorite portrayals of batman are where he kills people
you know the one thing he is not supposed to do and is very not batman
don't get your hair in a knot over shit you can't control or predict
>>341364114
>Because Link is an established character
Yes, that's why he's a completely different person in nearly every game. Also, you seem to be forgetting that Nintendo made Toon Link. He's not set in stone at all.
>>341363420
Why aren't all the characters in Mother 3 female?
>>341359031
You can just not in that game?
>>341364083
Wrong, because only angry SJW progressive dumbasses are angry about this.
Anyone who wanted to play as a female in a Zelda title outside of far left politics doesn't actually want it so bad that they will get angry. You do understand the difference right? Because it DOESN'T MATTER except if your a SJW.
>>341364187
>Do you progressive fucktards
Stopped reading. Not going to entertain your going to project whatever you imagine on me. Don't have time for that bullshit.
>>341362175
This. Lesbian couple that shops where I work split up a bit back because one tried to stab the other to death.
>>341363946
Yeah, it sucks but they sunk their claws in that series already.
>>341364351
It's just what delusional fanboys believe in.
No matter what system the love or what corporate cock they suck, there's always people like this.some of them don't even play videogames
>>341364505
They tought about it, but then they wondered what the fuck link would do, so they reverted it back to the classical triangle.
>>341361591
If you believe Link is the same exact character across every game, you don't play Zelda.
I know /v/ doesn't play video games but Jesus fuck.
>>341363672
So...why don't you flip about the green tunic change? Probably because you don't actually care about such things.
Link has worn a green tunic since the first game and in every single game sense, and whenever featured in promotional materials he wears a green tunic and has a fairly specific hairstyle, but they changed that design in this game. He's far more lithe now, his hair is different, and he no longer wears a green tunic (something that had lore reasons for existing)
But hey, that's fine, who cares about such superficial things if politics aren't attached?
>>341364187
Well said.
>>341364364
If it's about Zelda taking that courage to act where others won't, great.
If it's about Zelda, being a woman, taking the courage, that other women, to act where other women and ESPECIALLY MEN won't, then it's missing the point entirely.
Why people care about what gender their little player avatar is and not simply being a hero in games like these is baffling.
Link doesn't even fucking talk.
>>341364295
Don't worry. On that matter, I just bought the Kirby amiibo from the Planet Robobot line. It's amazing.
>tfw now want link as a girl since you can undress him
>>341362683
You aren't fooling anyone faggot
>>341364151
>the mere thought of someone playing the game with your husbando as a female instead of male ruins it for you
Good, you don't deserve to have nice things or be catered to, since options upset you and you're clearly an irrational nutter.
>>341360746
he changes into all those things but he's still himself, don't really see how a making link grow tits for a temple would be useful
>>341360579
Their lives are empty. Speculating about gender politics in upcoming video games based on spurious evidence is the Tumblr equivalent of shitposting.
>>341359031
Click bait bullshit. The reasoning is sad? No it isn't. The reasoning is the developer saying he didn't feel like that was the direction he wanted to take the game. Done. Case closed. That's the end of it. The developer makes the game they want to make, they way they want to make it. The day game developer start making games they don't want to make, and in a way they don't want to, that will be a shit fucking day.
>>341364595
Would you prefer 'regressive fucktards' instead?
>>341364083
There were discussions about it and a male Samus, yes. Then SJW's came in with their literal retardation and got arm-flailingly pissed when they couldn't get their way and started making a shitstain about it in their leaky echo chambers.
>>341360406
>>341360746
Anyone else getting the impression that Ben has a TF fetish?
Also, Link already got be a woman. Just last year, in fact.
>>341364441
Everyone was getting #wet over shirtless Link
>>341364151
Oh you silly dumb retarded faggot. I wouldn't care if you did that. If you got canon rule 63 of my waifu that would mean there would be more porn of my waifu being fucked by her male self. And selfcest is the best cest.
You'll never get me to stop sexualizing things. I could sexualize a goddamn pumpkin. So why even try cockblocking me?
>>341364508
I was talking about the changes done to their gender or race, not methods or motivations. Keep acting like you're in some form of authority for absolutely nothing you fucking idiot.
>>341364656
Have him be off fighting Ganon's forces, or something heroic. This isn't tumblr, where Link has to be an emasculate pretty boy who needs to be rescued. They can both be heroes. Making Zelda useless in each game, until a very very specific moment, is just stupid.

I'm sorry Jo, i couldn't protect you
>>341364481
>And none of those things are anymore inherently more sexual than what's already provided in the game, so it does work.
??? Help me understand what you just said.
Link could have been gay in SS. He shows no real affection with Zelda any more than a good friend would.
fem link / linkle would be to pander to weebs, not sjw. femlink wouldn't be a punk girl with a shaved hairstyle, piercing, tattoo and 'strong girl'.
i'm fine without it but people can't fucking argue it being added as pandering to sjw, if anything we'd get people saying "OH MUH DIKKKKK" thinking about having a naked playthrough with femlink and the doujins surging more than just few femlink ones
>>341364616
I used to work in a family court office and there were A LOT of angry lesbian love triangles.
>>341363718
Na its true,
Women hits man nothing happens because he holds back, woman hits woman and its just a catfight.
Man hits woman and its just over
Man doesnt hit man because they respect each other too much

You mean nega-sjws? Nega-sjws have proven they are identical to SJWs right down to not caring about vidya outside of political reasons
>>341364897
So...because SJWs want it we can't want it anymore and must actively prevent it? You're a fucking retard.
do you guys just parooze twitter looking for retards posting to their hundred or so followers so you can get mad and post it on 4chan?
why do you put so much importance on a website who's only gimmick is word character limits and queries?
what's next, are you gonna go browse neogaf waiting for one of those circle jerking retards to spout something stupid?
>>341363626
oh u already did LMAO
>>341364520
Yeah, but he shares traits across his incarnations. One of those is that he is male as evidenced across all his games and confirmed by the creators. Some aspects clearly are set in stone.
I dont see the point.
Master Chief is a man.
Why arent we asking for Maestra Chief?
Why do people want gender swapped characters? It's like asking a writer to swap the genders of an established character. Hey, newsflash, men and women are different.
I know, shocking, right?
>>341364415
Yeah, there were black soldiers,
But they weren't allied with fucking Germany.
On top of that they weren't really recognized until world war 2. Fuck, they even gave away niggers to the French in world war 2 because they were still assblasted about segregation.
>>341360070
>luigi btfo
>>341364820
I offer a rebuttal for your image.
>>341364959
If he's off fighting ganon forces then what is zelda doing ?
I'd much rather Zelda does stuff on the side, kinda like Peach in PM
I'd be okay with link being a girl because of all the new porn it would inspire.
I couldn't care less otherwise.
>>341359031
>The reasoning is sad
No it isnt.
The reason is because Link has been the MC since the first game, and he is a premade character, not a fucking custom character for the player to create.
>>341365104
Wouldn't it be Mistress Chief?
>>341364870
No, that's you just imagining who and what I am, and then arguing against your imagination. I've not patience for it. Address my points directly, or fuck off. Not interested in playing the role you're attempting to give me.
>>341364683
Why didn't I flip about purely cosmetic changes? Gee, I wonder. Maybe because he's still easily recognizable as Link, you pedantic asshole. Are you really suggesting that changing outfit is on the same level as sex? I guess mentally ill liberals actually believe that to be case, so I suppose I shouldn't have asked.
>>341364817
If Nintendo had to give any reason as of why Link couldn't be a girl, it should've been because of that
Why do these fucking psychotic sickos think that changing away from light-skinned and male is always beneficial?
>>341365136
>If he's off fighting ganon forces then what is zelda doing ?
Have her also be fighting his forces? It's called multiple fronts.
Shoot, have them team up once in a while.
>Wanting to stare at a dude's ass all game
This thread needs a little cultural enrichment
>>341365221
True, Mistress Chief, and her companion, Cortan, a skimply dressed,MALE, muscled AI companion that wisecracks all the time.
You know reviewers are actually going to deduct points because of a lack of fem Link?
These people need to make up their minds whether gender identity is important or not.
