I get that it'd be nice if Gimmie and Robin Williams got homages put in them into Zelda, but the Zelda games aren't a collaboration between every moron on the planet. If you want to pay tribute to dead people, do it in your own artwork, don't compel others to because all you can create is a signature.
Besides, if you force Nintendo to do that, it's not really an honest show of compassion towards the dead, it's just pressure.
>>342466078
They already have, the character is called Link, its a self insert.
>>342466078
This seems short sighted as fuck.
Only one who deserves a nice reference is iwata.

It's 2016.
Millennials think that the world revolves around them and they should have all their wishes granted just because they shared a twitter post enough times.
This sets a negative precedent.
If nintendo were to bow to their demands, they'd have to start doing it for every single death and tragedy that could ostensibly be linked to one of their franchises in any way.

She doesn't deserve more than others Nintendo fans.
>>342466258
Dead people can't really self insert themselves can they?
>>342466461
Reminder that if you were born after the 1980s you are a millenial
To be honest, I think Nintendo should name the King in Zelda after Robin Williams, but I have no idea who this Gimmie person is and simply liking Zelda is nowhere near as meaningful as what Robin did.
You could make a good argument for including Williams, cause Robin is a fitting in-world name, and he did name his daughter Zelda.
But that's Nintendo's decision. It doesn't matter if you have the best argument in the world. It's their game and they can do what they want. You got no leverage.

You do realize more than 98% of the people on /v/ are actually millennials, right? Heck, unless you are 35 or over, you're a millennial too. 'Millennial' doesn't just mean 'those annoying young people', it's an actual age group, quite a broad one at that.
>>342466893
I noticed you didn't debunk his claim, you merely said a lot of people are millenials.
Are you the useless fact man?
>>342466710
>>342466834
Wew
But to be honest, while the literal who singer girl doesn't deserve it, Gimmie sounds like it would fit Hylia.
>>342466078
Who is Gimmie? American or British singer? Pop? Rapper? Is Gimmie a man or woman? What does this person have to do with Zelda?
>>342466078
i literally had to do some investigating on google before this bitch came up. why does this slut deserve to be named? robin williams was a worldwide name who named his kid for the series so that is kind of understandable but this girl is a literally who american reality tv star.
i bet this is going to be made about some feminism bullshit when in reality it is just some mediocre singer who got killed by a stalker. girl should be eulogized on the show she was from (the voice) but not a game like zelda. maybe some shitty indy dating sim feat. zombies, but not zelda.
apparently this is her, for anyone wondering what the fuck this seppo is on about.

Hey thanks for the link to help people figure out the mystery of who this is, but there seems to be a problem. All of these videos of her singing songs of other people. There doesn't seem to be any videos of her music.
>>342466078
Ugh... come on Nintendo, it's 2016, you need to cave to all of our (by "our" I mean the journalists pretending 2 comments are actually a billion comments) whims or you're a bigot!
So does this singer have any actual ties to Nintendo or Zelda?
>>342467441she doesn't have any of her own songs
>>342467482
her youtube account is called zeldalover64 or some shit.
>>342467610
Well then how is she considered a singer?
Ist Christina grimmie. Google her and you'll find out who she was. I used to listen to some of her beginning stuff, she had a lot of promise. Kinda gutted to find this out desu

why should some unknown bitch get her name in one of the most popular video game franchise?
if this was for robin williams i could understand but come the fuck on now
>>342467670
You don't have to sing original songs to be a singer you know. Even then she hass her own stuff. It's just remembered for her covers because the voice is basically a contest about just that.
>>342467670
that just means she isn't a songwriter. apparently she was killed after a concert she performed at, so she was a professional singer/performer.

In the end, it's selfishness.
That's literally what it is. It's not Gimmie being selfish, but the petitioners. Think about it.
Why do they want Gimmie represented instead of all of the others who have died and were fans of zelda? Because she was on tv. Why does that matter? Because they're her fans.
Why can you understand robin williams getting named in the games? Because he was extremely well known and well liked e.g. >>342466695
>>342466834
The reason you can support robin is because he represents a lot of people, if he got named in the game a lot of people would appreciate that, including yourselves.
The reason they want Gimmie named is because she represents them.In particular, she's not THAT well known so she represents fewer people, so the petitioners are more relevant and "receieve a bigger chunk of the gratification" than if someone like Robin were.
That's literally it. They're selfish fucks.

Those are sure some arguments.
>>342466078
None of the people who force that actually own a Wii U to buy Breath of the Wild to see her model in the game.
there were petitions for both. here is how nintendo responded.
williams
>Robin Williams was loved at Nintendo. Our hearts go out to his entire family, and especially to Zelda Williams who we've worked with multiple times. We appreciate the outpouring of support from the gaming community, and hear the request of fans to honor him in a future game. We will not be discussing what might be possible for future games during this difficult time, but we will hold our memories of Robin close.
grimmie
>We won't be making any creative or content decisions in this time of mourning. We are aware of the outpouring of support for her, as well as the petition.
they have no fucking idea who she is.
>>342469243
Can you fucking blame them? I literally had no idea that not only she has fanbase vocal enough to be, you know, heard, but exists at all until this thread.
>>342469243
They shouldn't do either of them. It's supposed to be a fantasy game.
>>342466861
FUCCKKKK MAAAAAN
>>342469414
I agree with you, but subjectively, I'd let Robin slide.
>>342469389
we should make a petition demanding that they include a character named after the recently deceased zelda williams.
>>342469414
i agree but only out of consideration for his daughter. i doubt they would include robin or anything like that, more likely they would have a character loosely based on a character he played.
>>342468231
Age 18 to 32/35
That's a bit hypocritical, lots of Zelda fans died in the past year, and they're not getting a dedicated character in the game just because they are not famous.
>>342469575
>>342469605
Except if they did Robin, there would be "WHY NO GIMMIE?!" and probably throw misogyny into the mix just because.
>>342468475
>GEN Y
>PlayStation
>not Xbox
DELET THIS
>>342469912
Yeah, but, who gives a fuck about Gimmie?
>>342469771
Hmm yes, we should respond and complain that it is ableist and classist to give a famous individual a mention and not my dead friend no one knows
>>342469243
I had never heard of the singer before this incident, and still have no real idea who she is.
Seems like just another cog in the reality tv/music machine, performing songs she didn't write for a paycheck. That's not to say she couldn't have real talent, just a face for a product.
>Millennial
>Called Gimmie
Imagine that.
>>342468475
>someone born in 1981 having anything in common with someone born in the 90s
shit list desu
>>342469912
they can't though, if they include one of his whackier characters like mork or the genie without naming names (although djinn or genie would be fine) then what are they going to say? that they should have had some randumb butterface singing a bunch of chart-toppers?
honestly, it would be easier to do a tasteful tribute to someone like robin williams than it would be for literally who.
>>342468458
Too bad for you that he already got it then.
>>342470160
Neither actively helped Zelda unless you argue them buying the game counts neither really deserve the "honor". furthermore, every single person who bought Zelda would arguably have to be honored. Above all though, it's kinda tacky to do. Like VGA's Iwata tribute. It felt more like a show than a actual tribute since probably zero people involved actually knew the man.
>>342470474
Yeah that's the problem. Not the fact that everyone born before 1945 is a part of the same generation.
>>342470676
>Neither actively helped Zelda
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bINUfbLV_0M
https://youtu.be/pQ-OcP6yXd8
They can gloss things over by saying the game is too far in development, and then when the next game comes out in 10 years hopefully everyone forgets about their petitions
>>342470485
I guess that's possible. But I just think it's best to just not do it at all.
>>342466078
I agree with you
>>342470856
Yes, neither actively helped Zelda. The person I replied to said "famous individual a mention and not my dead friend no one knows". The topic is about Christina Grimmie and the second party I am referring to is the nobody. Robin was not a part of the discussion.
Tasteful tribute idea:
>Be Link
>Zelda mentions that great heroes of the past can be seen in the stars
>Like the Lion King
>Wander Hyrule
>Darkness falls
>The stars come out
>Gaze upwards, and spot a constellation
>It's Robin
>R.I.P.
>>342466078
Nintendo should go through the obituary of every country on earth and insert the names of every human that has ever died into characters of their next Zelda game.
I also agree, forcing Nintendo's hand would defeat the purpose of the gesture.
>>342467379
Internet arguingat its finest, attacking one point in a multi-point statement and acting like that defeated the whole statement. Keep it up and you'll be just like old man Reddit!
>>342471231
To be fair, they could just pop a constellation in the shape of his signature or something.
It'd be vague enough to not break immersion, but the people that genuinely knew him would recognize it.
>>342466078
>ask
>forcing
>>342468475
>Communication media: hand-held (or integrated into clothing) communication devices
The fuck? Is this from some shitty science-fiction speculation rag?
>>342466078
They didn't make one for Robin they aren't going to make one for some no-name fart tickler.
What makes these people feel like they're so fucking special? How many Zelda fans have died in other accidents, maybe the next dungeon should be a Gerudo night club that you have to shoot up.
I'm pretty sure this is all Gearbox's fault for putting in the kid who died of cancer before BL2 came out.
>>342466078
>all that notification shit at the top
CLEAR IT NIGGA
>>342471526
>maybe the next dungeon should be a Gerudo night club that you have to shoot up.
Not listening to this sort of bullshit is precisely why old Nintendo games have such a timeless charm to them, unlike Sega or Sony games from their respective eras which are evidently products of their era.
>>342466629

in life you gotta make due with what you got, you should best learn from this guy, cause his shit was JUST fucked up, but he doesn't allow it to JUST fuck his shit up
>>342466078
Nah, they shouldn't name a character after her.
Besides, there's only nine months left of development, and three to four of those months are probably just doing touch ups on everything that's already completed, and another two or three will just be printing and shipping. There are no more characters to add at this point.
>>342471526
I'm pretty sure this is Nintendo's fault for putting Chris Houlihan in Zelda and setting a precedent.

>>342472457
Not him, but I just looked her up. She's a contestant on the TV show The Voice. She's the first of two contestants on the show who have been murdered. She died a couple weeks ago, and the other guy died two days ago.
They can't name a character after her without naming one after the other guy, because then fans of his will get pissed, saying stuff like "OH SHE MATTERS BUT WE DON'T", and if they cave at that point they might as well just name every character after anyone who's ever died.
>>342472880

If they want to, let them, don't force them to do it on people with little to no relevance to the game.

Theyre gonna get shit whatever they do, but the safest thing is to not get blamed on monetizing on other's death.
Its a business after all, and that stuff is delicate. They are wise by not addressing that.
>>342466078
These kids have no idea of what is or isn't appropriate, they should be ignored
