Quoted from your wall:

Well, if you feel so strongly about it, keep your sig.


This is why I asked you to read it all the way to the end. So you wouldn't jump to this kind of conclusion. As I said I don't care. I do not feel strongly about it. I am just presenting you the facts. The facts say I won the bet, Eiji Aonuma said it himself numerous times that they made Link ambiguous enough that it could be male or female and that it was entirely up to the player to decide. Which is what I bet.  Now even tho I am entitled to your sig for a month, because again I won the bet. I won't even tho at this point I am having second thoughts. i am trying to be charitable and make an amends which you are not making easy. My charity has it limits, I already asked you once, I'm not going to ask again. All you had to do was accept ya lost, which again ya did Eiji Aonuma said if a female player chooses to see Link as a female then she is just as right as a male gamer that sees Link as male, and tell me what you wanted. If you can't do that then walk away and it will be entirely on you. So don't try to put it on me and say I feel strongly about it. I've made it perfectly clear I do not care and if I did feel strongly about it I would be be demanding your sig which I am entitled to. 


“I don’t want people to get hung up on the way Link looks because ultimately Link represents the player in the game. I don’t want to define him so much that it becomes limiting to the players. I want players to focus on other parts of the trailer and not specifically on the character because the character Link represents, again, the player.”

Notice how he said "him"? Straight from Aonuma's mouth.

No that was straight from the translators mouth. Read the rest of the story he clearly gives the same statement as other sources who asked him the same exact questions. Check this link which had a proper translator. http://www.gamespot.com/articles/e3-2014-the-legend-of-zelda-producer-confirms-the-hero-is-link-is-male/1100-6420451/ Notice how he says "And I don't want to look too closely at, or give too much information about, who the player character is, because it's supposed to represent the player--him or herself."

"The character's a hero, and represents the player in the game, so I leave that to the player to decide what the characteristics are of the player character, because it's supposed to represent him or herself. If that makes sense!"

It does not matter if the translator says "him" on one website when in the same story he gives pretty much the same statement he gave other outlets. Which is again in his own words that it is up to the player to decide. You can't pick and choose minor things and ignore the bulk of the context of what was said. He said it was entirely up to the player to decide.
