So...anyone else suddenly want a Tell tale X-Files game?

There's so many possibile ways they could make it excellent, while allowing the internal consistency of the lore to stay the same, and give Zelda more agency.

If you believe gender swapping is less lazy from a creative standpoint than creating a game around Zelda, or a new female character, I don't know what to say other than your not as clever as you think, remotely creative, and probably shouldn't be snide.

I was a new iteration of Link and Zelda, and for whatever reason, when the big bad showed up, The Hero never arrived. So instead Zelda escaped, and set out on her own to find out what happened him. Perhaps he even set out on the Quest, and she's tracing his steps. It strikes me as a much better idea to maintain that…

Yup. She went from being a young Princess to a badass. There's absolutely nothing stopping Nintendo from making a new iteration of the timeline with a badass, playable Zelda.

Huh? Oh, yeah I saw it. I thought I edited my post as well, but I guess it didn't go through.

I am both excited, and afraid.

I was goint to tell a friend I heard the game was faster and harder.

Uh, I'm going to assume you just didn't my post, because I'm fairly sure gender swapping has nothing whatsoever to with game design, and it is indeed lazy, compared to actually making a Zelda game about Zelda.

I've seen a lot of people say that tradition is the only reason to keep Link male, and that isn't a good enough reason to not do it.

So you're saying giving an already established game of her own, in a series named for her unnecessary and uninteresting?

Two birds with one stone, and the first cover won't confuse people into thinking Link is Zelda. Or confuse them more.

This. Seriously. A Legend Zelda game, starring fucking Zelda.

They don't seem to have much faith in a new, compelling female character. So gender swap a male one.

It wouldn't be hard at all. Simply take a look at Tetra. They've already managed to take Zelda out of her royalty and show has a different, more adventerous nature.

Because for some strange reason, people prefer the lazy route to the interesting one.

All right, I think we can all agree lines have been crossed.

Well, at least it's not like that novel I read (Daemon, I believe) where after his death an elaborate virus began, people started dying, and a bunch of cool and crazy shit started happening.

I did Nazi that coming.

I have no idea what the fuck is happening here, but I'm giving you a star because my brain is insisting on it.
