The Legend of Zelda is supposed to be a man's game and I hope that one day it's going to be one again.

I hope this isn't a dig because I happen to have a vagina?

I am saying I agree with you. I just don't want to be disappointed.

It is a dig for exactly that reason.

The only real reason for men to talk about manliness and manly things is when women are around. It's part of our DNA (to make fools of ourselves).

And while I'm on that point

Zelda's fanbase is disproportionately female in comparison to Nintendo's other core IPs (saving only maybe Fire Emblem), and rigidly holding that oldschool values which didn't appeal to females at the time might be able to increase sales on the whole seems egregiously presumptuous.
