This has nothing to do with political correctness. It's all about choices and broading the player's horizon. You can pick up what you want at the start: male or female. There's your option there if you want Link to be male. For the rest who want Link to be female, there's the option as well. You might find it wrong, but there's nothing wrong about it in itself. Gamers don't develop Zelda games. Nintendo does. If Nintendo sees fit making a Zelda game, then we would gladly purchase it. If they don't, we're stuck with what they give us. Nintendo thinks it's a good idea (it is, it's actually great) to include a female main character in the new Zelda game, which can potentially be female Link (Unconfirmed yet). Yeah, Samus is female. A transgender female, that's it. |
Of couse Nintendo could do a Zelda game with a female lead.And if the game is good, I would be more than happy to play it.And if you apply the this concept of the "more choices, the better" to everything, it will come at a cost.I will give kind of an extreme example but here it is:What if alot of people dont like good endings, or bad ones?So you need to put both them in the game to satisfy them and make people to be more included?Or like when games are too dificult for some, so you tone down the difficulty to make them be able to play?(without putting difficulty setting, which has been the case for most Zelda games)Giving too much freedom sometimes comes at a cost.Thats why i respect the Dark Souls(Disgaea) so much.And if keep making unpopular choices left and right, without having a really good reason, you are just bound to burn yourself.
And no, Samus is female.If thats false, then show an official statement from Nintendo saying it and link it here.And no, that article from that woman dosent count, as it is just an theory, and by extent, an fanfiction
My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
