The only people who are acting offended here are the ones butthurt that a silent protagonist in a 25year old game is referred to by different pronouns in a personal mod.

Which is why people are so confused that some people are SO against this. Link is literally a nothing in LTTP, but people are acting as if changing the pronouns completely changes the entire game and the entire character of Link and that any change is blasphemy.

Doing what he did is crazy? So I guess your mind got fucking blown when you saw other games and their mods?

But, but, but, the ARTISTIC INTEGRITY!!!! Somehow the artistic integrity of the Skyrim world remains intact with an anachronistic toy tank engine, but change some words in a script from “boy” to “kid?” ARTISTIC INTEGRITY RUINED!!!!

I’m still not seeing the issue. Like, are we thinking this is a household where the dad is going to ban any instance of the original games and completely censor them and act as if they don’t exist, and try to rewrite history? To me this is a lamer, less effort-intensive way of making a mod that inserts his daughter as…

I didn’t call you out at all, except in the case that I disagree with your assessment of what the only problem is. The dad, or the kid he did it for, didn’t get as worked up as the people who are getting angry in this thread

I think it depends on which one you choose. I’ve read that Birthright gets easier than the first 5 chapters (which would make sense, decided to try out Hard and chapter 5 wrecked me)

If someone did that for their own personal copy, I know I wouldn’t give a shit.

I mean, she’s going to take it in stride then?

Why are you calling him Link? Did you know the first thing you do when you start a game file is that you name him?

Who says anything about required? A dad wanted to make a change and he did it.

I mean, it’s cool that you don’t, but some people do.

Are you equally against the mod that put Thomas the Tank Engine in Skyrim?

I mean, why is canon relevant? He’s not selling the game, it’s a mod for his own individual game that he’s sharing. Link isn’t necessarily identifiable as a guy just based on his sprite, so it’s an easy way for the dad to say “if you think this character is female, then the script isn’t going to correct you.”

Yeah but let’s all get SUPER ANGRY because this super simple find and replace SHITS ON ART AND WILL RUIN A GENERATION.

My personal limit is actually 4. If 5 kids got their hands on this? This world is going down the fucking tubes if that happens

And that time he threw a pot! Man, such an amazing character moment, the writing there was very powerful

The only problem here is people getting up in arms about a single kid playing a slightly modified 25-year-old game.

Name one aspect of the gameplay that becomes different if Link wore pink.

As per the game design, Geralt in the Witcher 3 can only hold so much in his inventory. People modded it to be more expansive. Does that make you just as angry?
