It doesn't really make sense, so naturally. How can something with three pieces be gender-balanced either way, unless Zelda has got something to hide under that dress?

Why does anyone want a female Link? Just because the modern Link looks feminine?

I don't even think women would like it if they made a woman version of Link. He fits an iconic niche, and probably wouldn't feel as good if it was a girl running around with a sword and shield making squeaking girly grunts.

Western feminists trying to export their culture wars onto Japan is so fucking stupid. Japan's historical relationship with women is so much more balanced and healthy than whatever was going on in the Christian West, especially in the Imperial court and among the high nobility. Women were seen as physically weaker but more emotionally developed than men. Their sensitivity was actually a quality that was highly valued in Japan's nature-venerating culture, which is why some of Japan's most respectable poets have been women.

The original way Akuma Toriyama imagined Zelda was with three characters, one of them being a girl. Since he invented Zelda, it's his call to make. If he wanted it that way, and still wants it that way? It's going to stay that way.

Not really. SJWs are SJWs. And SJWs only care about complaining something, so when they get bored and dont have much to complain about, they complain about each other and eat their own. Thats how it works.

>>341440135
Link is male.

If you're trying to actually tell a story that has years of canon behind it, then you should treat it with some dignity. Don't just rape it because, hey, it could be fun! You need rules if you are actually trying to tell a story. If it's something retarded like Hyrule Warriors, who cares?
>>
>>341440259
They didn't make a male female, they added a female option with Kris in Crystal as a gimmick. Your character isn't some legendary hero that always shows up to stop evil. It's just a kid who happens to stop evil organizations, that get progressively more powerful as the games go on, from stealing pokemon to changing the landscape of the world to tearing the fabric of reality.

I hope that if ever they do use a female Link it is because it is vital to the actual concept behind the games' story and not just a random inclusion to appease the "we need equality so please change all the genders of characters who are male because that's what the story requires" audience - a.k.a. the "we won't buy the game anyway" audience.

And I hope that, if it ever happens, it's one of the handheld Zelda games and it's developed by Team Ninja.

/u/? The general level of "flirting" in these games is so low it wouldn't even need to be changed between the two to just come off as close friendliness, outside of very specific non-central characters and scenes.

I don't want Link to be a girl, but people were suggesting this Zelda would be Link/Linkle co-op, and I thought that was a really neat idea.

Link would have the sword and shield, Linkle the bow. Co-op puzzle solving is fun.

Really though tumblrites would still be offended at this, somehow. Even if Linkle had the fucking Triforce of Courage they'd be mad that she wasn't Link.

And you do get to play as a female in Zelda. You possess Medli in WW, Midna does shit when you're in wolf form, I think you do something in Spirit tracks and like 90% of the hero roster in Hyrule Warrior is female.

I'd be not mad, per se, but a little miffed.

Not at her not being Link, at Link's role in the game ACTUALLY being diminished and made redundant. I'm never going to understand why letting an OC take over the heroing job is somehow seen as less threatening to the role than the idea that Link could have been born a girl.

Anyone who wants a female Link who wouldn't be okay with Samus suddenly being male is an illogical hypocrite.

You're welcome to want it, but understand that if it actually happened, it'd be undermining an established character that's existed in more or less the same form for a very long time.

Pandering to fans is always a recipe for disaster. If you want something in life you have to either luck out and get it handed to you, or else forge it for yourself. Trying to wrangle someones prexisting vision to conform to your trite desires is greedy and insulting.

>>341442441

This.
Either playing as captured Zelda and escaping from the Dorf with a partner game where you play as Link so you get two sides of one story...

... Or in a game where there is no Link or he lost to Ganon or he's gone to Prague for the weekend and shit's going down.

I don't want Super Maria World and I don't particularly want Legend of Zelda: arbitrary gender-change either.

>>341442739

Link is the same character in every game, along with Zelda and Ganondorf, even if they aren't necessarily the same person.

Rather than make a Zelda game where link is arbituarily changed to be a girl, why not just have one where you play as Zelda? That's a more sensible idea than making such a pointless, left field change.

You could be right. There don't seem to be many people who would enjoy Metroid games any more if there was, though I could be wrong.

What does that have to do with the fact that she doesn't reincarnate and so it couldn't be seamlessly integrated with previous games with a simple "this time, you chose to have Samus born a guy"?
