Ha. Had this been a female character we would have seen a never-ending barrage of articles accusing Squeenix of fat-shaming.

If you still have nipples you’re clearly not running enough.

chunk of their fans? LOL more like the few handful of people that played a Dynasty Warriors spin off that were like “O M G LINKLE SQUEEEEE” GTFO with that new-fag shit.

Because Ninty don’t want too it’s their game not yours calm down nerd.

And if we are to make Link a female, why stop there? let’s make Samus male, let’s make Bayonetta a male, let’s make Princess Peach a male, and then we can make any counterparts they have of the male variety female? Fair is fair right?

A protagonists gender matters because the protagonist becomes an extension of the player in a good game. Allowing a female player the opportunity to control a female protagonist is empowering.

So by all means, Nintendo, make a Prince Zelda.

No, no,no,no and no. Stop with this gender, race, and sexual orientation changing bullshit.

The real reason is that there is no demand for it. LoZ sells like hot cakes every time.

Having a role reversal just for it’s own sake would be pointless and would hardly be a step towards being progressive. A protagonist’s gender shouldn’t matter to the player as long as the game is good, and the Zelda games don’t necessarily need to be an exception to that.

This. Let the creator do whatever he wants. Nobody is being oppressed

I’m fully up for having female main-protagonists, but I see no reason for an existing and established character to have his gender changed just because #equality.

Man people are going wild with the puns

But did it take your Breath away?

Wow. Such original commentary here on kotaku.

Most people’s? Or just one person’s?

I was literally jumping of excitement for the Zelda trailer. Looks so good!

A game starring Norman Reedus with his Norman Feetus

Look, I enjoyed Crash 1 and 2 back in the 1990s. But I also enjoyed Hypercolor sweatshirts and POGs and Ecto Cooler and those snap wrist bracelets that killed a kid once. Just because I enjoyed them then doesn’t mean they were good or that I’d like them now.

It’s a style or a character thing I guess. It’s exactly the same for all of their games(ICO and SOTC).
