I guess you can't read then? "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!" That is not a lie those are his words. read them again. Where in that quotes does he say it is strictly a male? He doesn't he says it is strictly up to the player to descide. He's told that exact thing to every outlet that has asked him. Learn to read, it's not a lie.


No, you can't read. There is no place where he say's that the gender is up to the player, and he specifically refers to Link as a him in the interview discussed in that interview. Link is a dude. It's not "up to the player." It's a guy. Him saying "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" does not mean that Link's gender is suddenly up for grabs. Never says that Links gender is up to the player. He says his characteristics are. Learn to read. He called Link a him. Link is a him.

EDIT: It literally melts my brain that people are still discussing this after 20 different confirmations.
