Should There Be A Female Link or Maybe a Game Starring Zelda?

No, absolutely no.

1) Zelda is not really a good characters to build a game around. Link is so much more charsimatic and versatile.

2) Link is an incredibly charismatic character and the true symbole of the Zelda serie. Allowing to play a female player would just kill Link, the symbol of the serie.

So are you saying that a female Link cant be charismatic? What characteristic that male Link have that a female couldnt? His pretty blue eyes? His cute little nose? His pretty long hair? His huge manly mucscular figure a la Gears of wars? His pretty baby face? His stylish blue earings? or his huge deep manly voice?

The only thing that would change would be... add boobs (small boobs, i wouldnt see female link with a huge cleavage lol)... longer hair... slightly change the sound of her grunts... and mayyybe make her a little shorter. And here you go, you have a female Link, pretty much the same as a male, you dont even have to change his face, facial expressions, movesets, animation or clothes.

A female Link would not be Link. That's all.

Link is the face of a serie, if you dilute this it kills the symbol. And let's be real 99% of people would not want of this female Link, female player included. Link is a male, he is the incarnation of the courageous knight. The female is Zelda.

That would be similar to allow players to play a female Mario. Epic failure.

I can guarantee you that if they added the option to choose to create a male link or female link, like they did with Pokémon, theyr would be alot of ppl that will want to create a female... I personaly would pick a female Link for my second time playing a game (Master quest/hero mode...)

Link is pretty much a girly boy... A female Link would differ only in longer hair, voice and boobs. She would pretty much be the exact same character, with same animation, personality... She would have the exact same interaction with other characters and she would be just as courageous. Link is far from the huge male protagonist with huge muscle, so a tomboy female Link wouldnt change anything IMO.

And the difference between mario and Link, is that mario is always the same character... While theyr is a new link in every games... In each games theyr is a new hero that gets reincarnated I see no reasons why he couldnt be reincarnated into a girl if we wanted to.

All im saying is that we should be able to CHOOSE, you can always pick a male link and forget that the option of a female link even exists. If you hate female link, fine pick male, the option of choosing wont affect you.
