Would you like new new Legend of Zelda more if they let you create your own toon instead of making you play their "version" of Link? I think it would be a lot more immersive if it was more customizable.

Nintendo has done nothing but stomp all over womens rights by making Link a man, they should be shutdown for their hate of women
i want to jackoff to girl link grunting after she takes damage
>>341373301
you can customize him -- change his shirt, pants, sword, shield, etc. Completely customizable.
Boys play Zelda to blow stuff up and fight stuff.
Girls and gay guys play Zelda to control and drool over a male elf.
The very people who keep clamoring for a female Link for 'equality' would be the most upset if it happened. Since they'd no longer be able to obsess over their elf boy toy.
>>341374318

>>341373301
No,
Fuck off with your b8
>it would be a lot more immersive
Who cares.
>>341373301
I'm still holding out faith that Link is a created character this time. I think with the armor and clothing options you may as well. Also his hair is long, so maybe you could go to local barbershops and shit. and one barber will turn out to be evil and you have to fight him in his dungeon under the shop.
>>341374318
The people asking for female Link are disgusting waifushitters. Girls and homos are the ones who would fight the hardest to prevent it if it were ever a possibility.
>>341373301
fuck of neofaggot
then it wouldn't be link
>>341374217
can i change his gender identity to something more suitable of a transwoman?
can we change all the insensitive writing that labels and oppresses the lgbt community?
No.
Link is a character, not the player avatar.
If you want to create a character play one of the many, many rpgs and open world games out there.
>>341374318
Wrong. I play Zelda because I like the simple puzzles, the story, the characters, and the gameplay.
I jerk off to Link trap doujins, not a fucking video game.
Link is a character just like Raiden. Even though both Link and Raiden are the player's "link" to the game, they both have their own personalities and backstory. You are not Link or Raiden, you are only playing as Link and Raiden.
>>341373301
No. Go away and then choke yourself.
>>341374597
Whats wrong with wanting to enjoy your protag to the fullest.
Some of us like girls more than boys. Why does that offend you?
want a female link because the male design is awful. such a queer I don't even want to play the game
>Trading a video game icon for OC doughnut steel
Thanks PC gamers. Please go die now.
So who wants to bet that Link is a clone/artificial life form in the new one? That's the vibe I got from the intro to the game. Some sort of last hope to revive the heroic bloodline via science instead of waiting for the goddesses to get off their ass.
>>341374410
>he doesn't think girls play Zelda because of Link
At least three girls I've known played it for that exact reason. They liked the gameplay as well, but the motivation for them to try it at all was seeing a Legolas type character.
>>341374670

Because you're trying to ruin one of the few good boy characters in order to get it. It's disgusting, and homos have never done the same to your characters by trying to r63 them into men. Show some common courtesy and control your dick you fucking savage.

>LoZ is one of the more popular series among women for... some reason
>Suddenly feminazis start demanding that Link be female
Women seemed fine with the game before, male Link and all. Why is it such a tragedy now that the established character in an established series isn't all of a sudden changed from male to female?
It's almost as if feminazis both don't care about video games AND don't care about the opinions of other women.
>>341374838
Then don't play. Your shit taste won't be missed.

>Suddenly feminazis start demanding that Link be female
This is where you're wrong. The perpetrators are nu-male waifufags like this guy >>341374738
>>341375012
Link has no character. Nothing about him is defined by the fact he has a dick.
>>341375220
People in WoW who called their character a toon were mocked off the server, kid.
>>341375220
I played from vanilla to panda and tooniggers were always made fun of
kill yourself and roll a new CHARACTER
FYI toon is from EQ you retarded shitstain
>>341373301
What enrages me is that there are people who won't spot this obvious bait.
They can't make Link a girl because Aonuma is too obsessed with the 'lore'. Making one of the Link's a girl would destroy their focus on the triforce. Literally the only good thing the lore has done.
>>341375374
Everyone who likes Link disagrees, including Nintendo. If you don't like it then go play Senran Kagura you fucking cuck.
>>341375374
1. He's a knight
2. He's saving a princess
3. He slays might dragons and various monsters
4. He has numerous romantic interest in every game
5. Phallic Master Sword
>>341374738
because you want to literally change the game as it is delivered to suit your fetish. which is fine. but thank god idiots like you aren't the main consumers of art, books, media, writing, photography, videogames, television, movies, or music
>>341375374
Does 'he' even have a dick? Has anyone ever seen it?
ITT
>>341375374
Link has a lot of character. He storms into dangerous places without a second thought and manages to come out alive. Everyone knows women aren't brave, or capable, enough to do something like that.
>>341375374
So gender means nothing then and a gender change would mean nothing to anyone and everyone, so let's keep him how he is.
I'm glad we solved this problem.
Okay then make the next Metroid have a male Samus

OP here, holy shit you retards, I didn't say ANYTHING about a female link, that is something you guys ENTIRELY pulled out of your own ass. Weird. I chose the picture because it represented a gradient in what "link" is. I didn't mean Male link and Female link, I meant a full toon creation suite where you can build from the ground up.
>>341373301
>create your own toon
>toon
God, fuck off.
Would you like Super Mario to have customizable main character?
Would you like Kirby to have customizable main character?
Metroid? Metal Gear? Donkey Kong?
Dont like the main character? Don't play the game. They will NEVER EVER make Link a girl for the same reason Mario will never be a girl, so deal with it.
What's funny is that calling an avatar a toon was a 4chan-created meme from a long time ago inended to troll motherfuckers.
>>341375168
Hey as far as Zelda goes, that's not a cliche at all.
>>341373301
How would customization make it any more immersive?

So that brief part of the footage with him gliding into the desert. He had a different hairstyle, yeah?
>>341375374
You need to realize any statements about it ruining his character is just a lie since the real reason gets them ridiculed.
People don't want it simply to spite sjws.
>but I totally care about Link
Then why aren't you upset about his massive design change? No green tunic, no hat, where's the master sword and hylian shield? Why is his hair different? Why is his body type different?
And why do none of these seem to trigger the sudden "Link purists"?
>>341376502
And?
Open World games doesnt always have custom main characters.
Have you never heard of GTA? Witcher 3? Just Cause? Far Cry?
>>341376635

>>341377420
You are aware Link is almost never the same person and there are lore reasons for the tunic, master sword etc?
>>341373301
Would Female Link also rescue a Female Zelda?
>>341377265
I like Link as a boy too, clearly. I've played the series this long. I just don't spaz out at the idea of him being female, since I too enjoy women.
>>341377420
>You can't change your fucking gender it is impossible.
>>341373301
You never create your character in zelda games, and you never will.
Link will always be male and you'll never be able to do anything about it.
If waifufaggots, nu-male cucks and girls who think they like videogames but don't keep trying to shove female link down nintendos throat until they, or shithead memers like you decide to make fun of the situation caused by it, therein keeping it a topic of discussion, I promise you'll regret it.
>>341377597
>You are aware Link is almost never the same person
No he is the same guy reincarnated. It's not that hard to grasp.
> there are lore reasons for the tunic, master sword etc?
You don't really believe those won't be in this game right? You aren't that stupid right?
>>341377636
So you'd selfishly allow sjws to get what they want?
>>341377635
a male princess
>>341373301
There a million games with character creation. This isn't one of them. You play these games to play as Link. You can't rename him like the Dragon Quest Heroes but it's centralized on Link. That's the kind of game it is. Go play Skyrim.
>>341377742
SJW want a waifu link to fap to?
>>341377636
Who the fuck cares if there is a woman in a video game? Literally no one, not a single person here.
What people care about is WHY they are doing it, WHY change an established character, WHY appease people who don't even play video games, WHY get involved in social politics. These are the points that piss people off.
>>341377712
You are aware people have wanted female Link way before your American politics meltdown in 2013, right?
Most asinine thing I've seen from opponents of the idea is the idea anyone who wants fem Link is somehow an sjw or have some negative political beliefs you dislike
>>341374596
Theres a difference between a customizable canon character and a created character.
Link has never been nor ever will be a self insert character in anything other than spirit.
Just like Geralt of Rivia isn't a a true self insert any farther than being able to make choices changing his hair.
>>341373301
>toon
This shit needs to stop.
I get why avatars are popular, but I don't actually like them.
I much prefer characters that have a baseline personality but you can influence their behavior. Like Adam Jensen acts certain ways, but you can control how he reacts in specific situations?
Link is a blank slate, except he isn't really. Not anymore. He had certain subtle personality traits. I like that about him.
I, for one, am looking forward to more of the androgynous gay link twink porn.
>>341378150
>subtle personality trait
Like?
>>341378027
This has nothing to do with politics. There isn't an opposition. The only thing happening is shithead fake-fans like you whining that you don't get an irrelevant genderswap option in a game that has continued to avoid that in favor of persistent canon and lore which people like you don't think about because you don't actually play the games.
Link is a male hero. Cry about it elsewhere.
>>341377982
Everything in the game is there to appeal to as many people as possible. Devs want to appeal to people. They don't have any deeper reason for doing most things, chucklefuck.
>>341375285
After seeing all that shit with the shield, I actually would want to see what sort of TECHNOLOGY you could do with a wheelchair in this game.

>>341377982
Least you admit it
>you're not allowed to have this because of my politics
Funny, you guys told me sjws would remove and deny things I want but it seems to be done far more by anti sjws
Oddly enough the same people who cannot enjoy watchdogs 2 or BF 1 because the character isn't a white guy
>>341378427
We're not denying you shitheads anything. The developers are, and for reasons that you crybabys can't accept.
This has nothing to do with politics.
>>341378321
No they make you think he isn't but in the end he actually was.
>>341378321
Confirmed didn't finish the game.
>>341378279
He's fairly easily surprised, slightly cautious, sometimes even a little nervous in new situations. Sometimes he's reluctant to try something or agree to a deal, but he's nice so he does it anyway.
Is nothing huge, but people claiming he's a blank slate just ignore shit like that.
>>341379041
You're literally describing all Heroic characters.
>>341378793
Since when are our souls and spirits tied to a gender?
Does my soul have a penis now? Is it a little ethereal penis?
Gender and sex are physical and social things. They don't apply to some fucking reincarnated spirit
>>341378427
>youve been denied things that you never had
>toon
>>341379386
The option sued to exist, people used to be okay with it and the only sole reason as to why there is MASSIVE resistance to it is because anti-SJWs think the inclusion of it would be a loss for them and a victory for their enemies.
And it sucks to not get something solely because you're caught in the crossfire of political nutjobs from a shit country that doesn't respect itself.

Just because they are shared doesn't mean they don't exist. Link's occasional shock or reluctance is important to highlight his courage. If he never hesitated he'd just be fearless, not necessarily courageous.

Fuck that. Link has to be a MALE just as Zelda has to be a FEMALE...
>>341378084
Link is barely a character. Hell he hasn't even gone by his actual name in a main game until now. It seems really odd to make a game all about freedom and then not have character creation as well. I'm guessing the whole thing is just lazily designed though
>>341379302
In their canon it does, and i approve of it.
>toon
We will slowly converge until every game on every platform is completely identical, mark my words.
Link will never be a fucking chick.
Do people seriously believe this or is it some kind of trolling attempt? EVERY SINGLE FUCKING GAME HAD A MALE LINK WHY WOULD THEY JUST CHANGE IT NOW? It's fucking Nintendo they barely change shit in zelda games.
man you guys are autistic. nowhere in the OP does he even mention gender.

>>341379302
>gender is a social construct meme
Only since the 60's, even then it was limited to acedamia until the last 30 years.
Before then it was synonymous with biological sex.
It still should be, there's no reason to coddle people's schizophrenic-tier delusions.
Also, Link has always been male, if they want a "Zelda" game with a playable female they should start their own series.
