On a serious note, people need to stop battling SJWs now. Now is the time to take all of their attention, and thus their clicks, and thus their money, and thus their fame, and thus their power away from them.

Just remember when you argue with these people, you're not accomplishing anything. Gamergate is over. The feminists and SJWs made fools of themselves. They've demonstrated that as a community, they can't come up with good arguments, and they can't substantiate their claims. The people who love freedom, and are against censorship, and just don't buy into feminist dogma, were the majority before all of this. We are now the super majority. Pretty much everybody who uses the internet is aware of their bullshit, and knows how to make counterarguments against it. The battle is over. Freedom has prevailed. Now stop giving them attention.

This is a completely subjective argument as there's no concrete reason for Link to stay male nor is there a reason for link to be female. It all comes down to preference and the creator prefers Link as a male. You won the "battle" the moment it began but I bet you still argued anyway

it doesnt matter what that bitch said. he CANT be female because of the cycle formed in skyward sword. link will ALWAYS be male because hylia loved her male hero. zelda will ALWAYS be female because shes hylias reincarnation. ganondorf will ALWAYS be male and evil because of demise. and as to why they cant switch roles, thats because of their triforces. link has the triforce of courage. hes the hero who must be courageous and overcome obstacles to save the triforce of wisdom. ALWAYS. link cannot be female or have a different triforce. zelda cannot be male or play the hero. ganondorf cannot be female or play anything but the bad guy, even if he wasnt born evil he will be driven to the triforce of power and become corrupted. thats just how it works and how it always worked and how it will continue to work because the games are set on those basic fucking rules
>>
>>341614204
Why do you want it? She didn't make a single decent argument. Her post boiled down to, "Link has always been a boy, therefore he should stay a boy."

Nevermind, y'know, the lore that states that each Link is a different incarnation, and therefore it is perfectly plausible for the Hero of Time to be a girl at some point. Who cares! He's *always* been a boy, so duh he should keep being a boy xD

I think a big part of this "debate"* is just more of feminists trying to attack the idea of gender "stereotypes". Of course, they're not stereotypes, they're facts. For example, Zelda is a princess. She wants to take down Ganondorf, but she isn't physically powerful. Men are bigger and stronger than women. Zelda needs to team up with Link; she needs to inform him of the Ganondorf's evil, and inform him of the plan to stop him, and she needs Link to protect her and save her. A man protecting and saving a woman is an offensive idea to feminists. Why can't Zelda just be a strong independent womyn, capable of taking care of all of this herself?

Because then there wouldn't be a game.

*it's not even a debate. As >>341616813 pointed out, it all comes down to Nintendo's choice. It's their universe, it's their story. They don't have to have a "good reason" for Link being a male. Nintendo doesn't answer to shithead feminists who don't buy their games anyway.

The game isn't about sex, or having a lineage, it's about reincarnation.
The game has never mentioned Link having to be a boy aside from using "hero" instead of "hero and heroine" but that's because hero can be used as a genderless term like "mankind"

Why should Link not be male?

If that's what the developers want, why should it change? Why force your ideas into others' artistic vision?
>>
Link is male because he identifies himself as male. Forcing him to become female by any means is against his free will. Since we're talking crazy bring in the LGBT argument. No one should force their view of gender on another.

>>341619259
This is true, but I was speaking more in terms of when they initially created the core Zelda concepts. It's their universe, and they can do whatever they want with it.

Let's do a little experiment. I'm going to create a story right now. I have 2 characters, Jack and Jill. Jack is a boy, Jill is a girl, and their story is to go up a hill together.

Now, some SJW might say "Why is Jack a boy? Why can't it be 2 girls?", or why can't it be 2 gay men, or 2 Muslims. Well, it's not your fucking story. Make your own god damn story if you want things changed. This is my story, and their names are Jack and Jill, they're both straight and cis gendered, they're Christians, and they're white. If you don't like it that's too fucking bad. Make your own. But notice how SJWs never make their own content, they always just complain about others' content and demand that it be changed.

hylias hero was male. so the hero is always male. play skyward sword. why do you think the hero has always looks the same? he fucking LOOKS the same every time. dresses the same to. down to the fucking clothes and choice of weapons. same with zelda. they always look the same and always use a bow.

there is no extrapolation. this is just fact. every facet of their being is identical every time because of what is established in skyward sword, which is the first game chronologically. down to their fucking clothes, across eons of time, always the same

>>341619358
Well, he has the triforce of courage. I think the concept is that with wisdom, courage, and a good plan and determination, you can take down a great evil, regardless of their immense power. Even if Link is a little fairy boy, he still has more physical strength and dexterity than Zelda. If this wasn't true then either Link, or Zelda could be removed from the equation, and it would just be Link VS Ganondorf or Zelda VS Ganondorf.

>>341619709

But he doesn't. There have been blonde Links and brown-haired Links and pink-haired Links. If they don't all have to have the same hair color as the original Hero, they don't all have to have a dick like the original Hero.

It's not a question, because the concept of Link being a female originated from SJWs, and not Nintendo themselves.

So it's not really that I'm just blindly demanding that Jack and Jill be the way I created them for no reason. It's just that it's my story. I could envision them however I want, and if someone doesn't like it, I'm not obligated to change it if I don't want to. This idea is ridiculous, that SJWs can just come up with an idea for any movie or game or book, and it should just instantly be implemented no questions asked. No, I trust the actual content creators to make quality content. I don't trust SJWs, because all they do is whine and complain and they don't create anything themselves.

The legend of Zelda is a tale about a boy from the forest and a girl that lives in a castle.
The only reason why they so desperately want Link to be a grill is because Zelda is mainstream and they think they have nerd cred for pretending to like it.

link is a memorable iconic part of video game history, he is right up there with the L-shaped block from Tetris.
>>
>>341621783
In video games, archery and magic are typically for characters who aren't physically strong. Bows are typically associated with small framed, skinny, fast, stealthy characters. If a character is big and strong they'll probably wear heavy armor and wield a big axe or a two-handed sword or something.

Also, the proof is in the pudding. Link uses a sword, Zelda uses archery and magic. They're both presumably using their weapons and fighting style of choice. This means Link is better than Zelda at using a sword, and Zelda clearly has some magical abilities that Link does not.
>and apparently has swordsmanship we have yet to see.
The only incident of her having a sword (not counting the spinoff Hyrule Warriors), was when the enemies were in her chamber in Twilight Princess and they had to make a final stand to protect the princess. It is probably a last resort.
>you need to be incredibly strong to even pull a bowstring.
Firing light arrows probably has magical elements because Zelda pulls it back so effortlessly. Unless you want to say that this just proves how strong she is is or something.

Why else would you make smartass comments and try to deny that the SJWs did indeed want a female Link, and Nintendo gave an official response saying it wouldn't happen?

Because as you said, Zelda is a princess, and was do Princesses do? They uphold their kingdom and keep watch over their citizens. If she were to just run off without anyone appointing someone to take over her duty then shit would fly off the walls they kingdom would probably be in shambles without someone to guide them with their WISDOM.
What if she gets killed? Who would carry the Triforce of Wisdom to guide and protect the kingdom, as well as their citizens from being destroyed? Zelda has a HUGE roll to play that's too impotent for her to be out on the front lines without some sort of help.
