She THINKS, you retard. She thinks she's something she's not, kinda like how so many desperate faggots think she's Link.
>>
So, she is Cloud?
>>
>>319840484
You just no some bullshit revelation is going to get pulled out of there ass like "Oh well the hero's reincarnation spawned two people this time."
FemLink confirmed.
>>
Just to avoid any future ignorance, she can't be the hero because the male Link from this time period has the Triforce of Courage.

No. That's dumb.
You're dumb.

>>319840731
So is creating a character named Linkle
>>
She only thinks she's the hero. She'll go around and be met with scepticism, she'll run into the actual hero and/or get her shit wrecked, feel bad about not actually being the hero, but will then learn she can still make a difference and be A hero even though she's not THE hero.
>>
>>319840841
Yes, it is about as dumb as you and your entire life.
>>
>>319840219
Okey, so she thinks she's the hero, and therefore she'll succeed just as much as Link.

Why not just make her the female reincarnation of Link in, you know, a different time?
>>
>>319840219
Plot twist, turns out she is right.
Aonuma laughs

How can you believe you're the hero if you don't have a sword?
>>
>>319840521
Goddammit, Cloud is fucking everywhere now.
>>
>>319841352
She has a compass.

>>319840219

Confirmed for not Link

She's Toon Link with a vagina.
>>
>>319841406
I have a compass too, that's makes me a hero?
>>
>>319841352
Does she even have the Triforce of Courage?
If not, then she isn't the hero.

Can't wait for feminist butthurt.

>>319841461
Absolutely.
>>
>>319840219
so it's the opposite of toon link where him becoming an incarnation of the hero was basically a fluke

>>319841669

>>
>>319841485
Link saved Hyrule from the Demon King in his first game without a Triforce of Courage.
>>
>>319841669
Oh shit that would be a great twist
>>
>>319841669
The problem with that is that Link has the Triforce of Courage, and was able to pull the Master Sword.
>>
>>319841485
The triforce of courage isn't needed immediately 2bh.
>>
>>319841669

>>319841669
He couldn't have drawn the Master Sword if that were the case, plus Fi explicately states that she recognises him as an incarnation of the chosen hero.

There's a difference about a girl from a small village who thinks she's destined to be a hero than Link who is the actual hero.

Well god fucking damn it. Gender options practically confirmed for Zelda U now.

After WW's celda controversy, Toon Link being forced into everything, Choo-Choo tracks, Skyward Shit, half-assed 3DS "remakes" of classic games, Triforce Heroes and now this, can this series get any worse?

I actually really like her storyline.

Hell, weren't there leaks and rumors going around in 2008 about Retro working on an OoT spinoff game shown from Zelda's perspective and it would have magic-based combat as well as stealth combat as Sheik, but then Nintendo canned it because they get mad fucking jelly when a western dev does better work then them?

Seriously? What the fuck are they thinking. What the fuck are the fans thinking thinking? Why make Link a girl when you have a main fucking female character that the franchise was named after, just waiting to become playable?
>>

Link is the popular one, the iconic one, the one who has value.

Not at all.

They get mad jelly when ANY dev has a chance of doing better work than them.

I don't want to play another franchise, is the problem. I love the puzzle solving, I love the dungeons, and I love the game concept.

This is such a shitty argument.

Can you name another game out there with similar lore that has a balance of combat, sidequests and puzzle-focused dungeons.

Because I already played Okami and Darksiders (the latter completely lacking the magical charm of Zelda) and both of those franchises are long-dead now.
>>
>>319851358

Because it's an insane theory. The director of the Oracle games went on to Skyward Sword.

For someone who's tired of Link, it sure doesn't seem like it. Chances are she would play exactly like Link, the only major difference would be her look.

No that's just a shitty fan idea like all Zelda fan ideas
>>
>>319851530
And it turns out the director is only good with 2D Zeldas, because Skyward Sword was shit.

Really hoping that the director for Triforce Heroes isn't involved with Zelda U in any way whatsoever because of this. Same with Fujibayashi, the director of Skyward Sword.

Actually, it's pretty interesting how they haven't even announced the director of Zelda U yet. We know Aonuma's producing it and Miyamoto's lending a helping hand on occasion, but that's about it. Zero news or confirmations regarding the director.
>>

She's the support character. People rail on this, but it wouldn't be as fun as you think it is. How would you think all that magic would translate into gameplay?

That'd be interesting. I'd be all for it.

>over another chance to play as a gorn/zora/deku/nonhuman race again
Yes, but why? We got the masks in Majora, we got the transformation items in the other games.

>For someone who's tired of Link, it sure doesn't seem like it. Chances are she would play exactly like Link, the only major difference would be her look.

Except the fact her signature weapon is the polar opposite of Link's signature weapon. All of her items/weapons would have to be rebalanced to account for the fact that she starts with a crossbow.

Doesn't really matter. Link used a crossbow in Link's Crossbow Training. It's nothing new, and a signature weapon isn't enough to differentiate her from Link. Example being, is Zelda U Link, whose signature weapon appears to be the bow now.

Nintendo seems to usually keep directors in the shadows, while producers play the PR game. It's the same with Tezuka and the Yoshi games. Sakurai is the only exception to this I can think of, and he's part of Sora.

Are you joking with this? Like 'Ha ha, get it? it's not an actual zelda game, but I brought up the crossbow from there anyway'.

>and a signature weapon isn't enough to differentiate her from Link.
Explain.
Because Link's weapon has and always will be a sword. Not even the master sword, just a sword.
Rebalancing for a ranged user is way different than balancing for a guy whose main attack is up-close.

>Example being, is Zelda U Link, whose signature weapon appears to be the bow now.

You and I both know that neither of us know if this is accurate or not. It's shown that way in the trailers because it's cinematic, and we won't know otherwise until that game comes out.

Why do I have the feeling that Linkle as FemLink in a Zelda game seems inevitable?

The way you guys are talking about it, giving her legitimacy and popularity and all. I'm pretty sure Nintendo's listening to all your bickering and will decide finally, at some point in the future, that Linkle in a Zelda game would be a good idea.

They'd have to get over the most important hurdle: Linkle doesn't belong to them.

I mean, I get why people like Ganondorf, but I feel like he's played out at this point. There's nothing he does that old school Ganon couldn't. I know in OoT/TP/WW he just turns into more monstrous versions of classic Ganon, but I always felt like Ganondorf was boring by comparison. He's just a gerudo dude who's not as good at swordfighting or magic as Link. (though obviously nobody is, being as he's the hero)

I feel like old-school Ganon at least would have different melee attacks being as he used a trident, fireballs that didn't always result in energy tennis, had teleports, etc.

Not that they couldnt just make an entirely new moveset for Ganondorf, I just don't think they would. Ganon at least has the potential for different movement/acrobatics seeing as how he's a big ass monster.

I fully understand nostalgia faggotry is the driving point behind this arguement

Linkle is just the same as Lana right: an OC for one game. It'll probably stay that way. Whether FemLink will happen is a mystery and depends on what they have planned already, something hard to tell from how invisible the game has been.
>>
>>319852603
It was inevitable from the start because Nintendo wanted it from the start. They approved of Linkle, Aonuma won't shut up about her and his ambiguity during E3 2014 was the cause of all of this femLink controversy to begin with.

Makes me wonder... how old is Aonuma's son now? He should be in his early or mid teens now, right? That would explain a lot.

I don't think that's anyone on here's concern. I think we're all worried that the fan-fiction isn't going to stop and that Zelda has become a second Final Fantasy series.

As far as the average joe who doesn't know Hyrule Historia isn't canon, Zelda lost all intrigue with the advent of a third timeline. What makes Hyrule Warriors any less canon, when the main series is a joke itself?

No longer is there just one other universe with transcendental time ramifications following coherent causal laws observable in-game (like when Ganondorf gets the Triforce because his other self still possessed it), but one other on top of that which consumes over half the present series, on the basis that some piece of paper is canon. There's now one other universe whose events are not accountable to the divine intervention of the The Wind Waker. I.e. one more timeline where Termina is destroyed. One timeline where Dethyl/Bellum killed the Wind Fish. One timeline where the Twili's prophecy of the blue-eyed beast who would save them didn't come true.

The mythos is trite if you buy the HH. This guy was right. http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/editorial/33996/hyrule-historia-a-timeline-for-the-trash

>>319853156
Around 14 years old, give or take. He was born while Wind Waker was being developed.

Just wait a little longer, then Aonuma can lament how his little boy is grown up now, and it reflects on Zelda by making Link a pacifier sucking baby who gets new diapers after every dungeon.

all of this, the marketing surrounding her, is basically a widescale focus test. it's all just a litmus to see whether it would be market suicide or not. and the character has been well received by everyone but the assholes who always complain about everything, so it seems inevitable. it'll probably be a NX title, or sharing the protag role with the main male Link.

The games were barely linked other than direct sequels before and after the Historia anyway. Just minor references to eachother here and there.

The best thing that the Historia did was just confirm the Hero's Shade wasn't a Stalfos, said that Oracles Link was the same as ALttP/LA Link, and ended the same timeline arguements that plagued threads for a decade. It didn't make the games or stories worse in any way.
>>
>>319853440
>I think we're all worried that the fan-fiction isn't going to stop and that Zelda has become a second Final Fantasy series.

It has been that way for years. Twilight Princess was the last decent game, and the last mainline console game that fans and the gaming community at large took seriously.

The series is just a joke desperately attempting to remain relevant thanks to its glory days now.

And I completely agree with you about Hyrule Historia. The fanbase and online community was pretty great before that book was released, if autistic with the timeline shit.

It's still interesting that you decided to compare Zelda to Final Fantasy though, because Square Enix is finally trying to put themselves back on track with the FFVII remake, FFXV being brought back into the limelight, A Realm Reborn's success and so on.

Nintendo needs to put the same amount of effort into Zelda. Zelda U better live up to half of our expectations, because they blew their chances of a proper console remake for OoT and MM, big time.

Not that anon, but I hated all of this confirmed shit.

Sometimes it's better to leave mysteries as mysteries. Of course, Aonuma doesn't seem to comprehend the aspects of 'show, don't tell' so of course he had to ruin all of the magic and mystery with some half-assed lore book.

>>319853440
>Not one Zelda title Aonuma worked on appears on the Hero is Defeated timeline. To me, this feels like Aonuma has taken much of my childhood and thrown it in a Zelda lore dumpster. Whether this is because he doesn’t enjoy those titles as much, or just isn’t comfortable enough with their lore to work them into his own main timelines, is something that has left me confused and hurt.

I'm glad someone else noticed this.

>>319854106

The show, don't tell thing is only something that should be argued when it's within the game. If the game had 400 snippets of dialogue explaining how the Hero's Shade wasn't a Stalfos that'd be one thing, but a lot of people already thought it was OoT Link's ghost. Whether it was OoT Link, another Link, or just some knight didn't really make a giant difference on the game. It just ended a bunch of arguements that lasted for years and didn't do anything fruitful.

As far as canon though, all that matters is if the game you're playing at the moment is fun/well written in it's own context, who cares what timeline it's in. At the end of the day, it's always going to be a story about the next unstoppable kid named Link that saves the world from magic monsters, all that matters is how it's told a little differently and how fun the level/enemy design is.

He produced A Link Between Worlds. Not sure what parts of that game are his design but he did work on it a bit.

Even though SS is still a self contained story, it was the first game to take the "lore" seriously and play the Spirit of the Hero shit completely straight. That and Hylia/Demise helped really sour what I like about Zelda. On the other hand you have the Handheld games which try too hard to not take themselves seriously because Aonuma just wants to make Wind Waker 2.

Hyrule Warriors is Otaku-bait but at least it'll forever be notcanon.

This reminds me of an old fake leak that a new Zelda was going to star someone who also thought they were the hero of time, which was always a cool idea to me. Even though it's just some spinoff game, it's nice to see the concept used for something.
