Again Mike, have you read what that guy/gal said to me first? It had nothing to do with my argument or how I feel on the topic of The Legend of Zelda. That person attacked ME and called ME a nasty name FIRST. What is it about that that you are not understanding? If you can't comprehend, then please just stay out…

You're actually completely and factually wrong. When people grow accustomed to something as impactful as the already known typical everyday household Link, they don't like change. You and I who don't presonally mind the change, and are open to it, are unfortunately the small minority. Look at my previous posts in…

Correct. I said both of these things numerous times in this thread already. But everyone keeps overlooking real world issues such as money, historical impact, and business. in general. It's not about the mythos or lore.

Wrong. You are making the vital mistake of assuming that I am speaking for people who would not support, buy, or care about the game if it made that change. That isn't the case. That isn't the logic.

The he/him pronoun usage isn't really a big deal. Some gamers would find it appealing for sure. It wouldn't be unique by today's standards. The issue, is less of the actual changing of gender, and more of the fact that they'd be changing a major Nintendo (and gaming in genereal) icon. People catch a glimpse of…

That's very true. But still isn't a reason for it to happen. Just because it can, doesn't mean it should. Tomb Raider became shovelware, and badly needed a reboot. LoZ does not. It's not broken, Nintendo doesn't need to fix it. Sales are already amazing for Zelda games. Tomb Raider was hurting. They could have…

Again... I agree with you 100%. The lore doesn't stop Link from being a girl. Money does. It's bad for business. The playing field is too uneven, and the game is too legendary in gaming and pop culture. It has already been coded into the series DNA, and all representations of Link, for him to be a boy.

Hot mess, you've missed the point. This was already said and addressed. It's not that Link can't be a girl... It's that it doesn't make any fractional amount of common sense in terms of business for Nintendo to make that move. The best scenario is for them to make it an option, like most modern RPGs give.

I hope you're kidding. I specifically said that I was "all for Link being a girl", and that I would buy and enjoy the game regardless. You're failing too see the real facts, because you're blinded by your fandom for the game. First, read what I said in my replies. I never once said that Link should NOT be a girl. …

Yeah. I completely get that. But you're falling back into the whole fan syndrome thing again. It's not written anywhere saying that the hero cannot be a girl. Nor am I saying that I don't think it should be. My point is that it doesn't need to be altered. People have grown accustomed to the Zelda series having…

Did you see who I called that? Did you see what they called to me just prior to that? It is really rude, except for when that person just called me far worse, and accused me of not reading the article, when they clearly did not bother to read my post, or who it was directed toward. They 100% deserved that. If…

You are both right and wrong. Factually, you are spot on. Like I mentioned in previous posts, there is no part of the lore or let's say "essence" of the LoZ series that says Link needs to be a boy. You are also right in saying that Link has technically been different people, with a few exceptions, across the…

I was, and am, completely calm. I was just sharing why I think Link will keep on being a boy character. Not based on my own oppinion of what I would like for Link to be. I honestly don't mind either way. I always enjoy Zelda games, and it wouldn't make a real difference to me personally. But at the same time, I…

Retard. Did you even read the post in which I was responding to? Do you lack basic comprehension skill? I wasn't talking about the fucking article. I was responding to someone else's post in which they were "disappointed" that the main character in the next Legend of Zelda installment, would officially NOT be a…

I can see your argument. I don't really even disagree with your reasoning. I agree that it has never been set in stone that he HAD to be a boy hero. But the series is very popular, and helps define video game culture in the likes of Donkey Kong, and Sonic the Hedgehog. Precedence has already been set, and the…

Oh man.

Really?!?! Why? He's always been a boy. Regardless of whether his name is Hero, or Link, or Poop, he is still a boy in The Legend of Zelda lore. Why make him a girl all of a sudden? I have nothing against it personally, but it doesn't make any sense to alter the vibe that way. I would be SUPER excited to find a…

I hope this makes it's way to PS4 eventually, or even WiiU. I liked Fallout 3, but couldn't get fully into the game, and even with all of it's praise, I just couldn't enjoy Mass Effect 3. This looks like a completely different beast though, and I like the fact that you can get 4 peeps teaming up against one…

Is that a Rancor?
