Just checked it now, and my god thats true.Didnt play MGS V yet, so thats why I didnt know.But its not a similar case as in she is unlockage after you do certain conditions.So you need to play as normal Snake until you can unlock it.You dont start with that option.It would be an extra.Subtle difference, but still different.

Like I said to Volterra, story-wise it is possible to make Link into a female caracther.But Link has always been historically a male.For almost 30 years.Why make this change without a very good reason?It would be better, story-wise and to make fans happy, just to make a new female protagonist if thats the case(if they wanted to go with a female protagonist).

Another example would be(dont know if you are a fan of Metroid) if that false rumour about Samus was true(about she being transgender).I mean, we never looked down there.And they could very well create a past for her that would justify that.They could do that but you know, it wouldnt be that popular.

Link might have always been male up till now, but the very purpose he serves is to be a link between the game world and the player. Hence the name. 

Having the choice between female or male reinforces this aspect and purpose of the character. If you want to keep with that "tradition" of yours, just choose to play as male link. You get to stick to the tradition while others, more open-minded people, get to choose. No need to make a big deal out of nothing.

Just because he is named Link?Thats as weak as argument gets.If a caracther has Gay in his named, it means he is homosexual?Cmon

Link was never an avatar.You may think that way, but he isnt.By no means I will not buy the game if the female Link rumour is true, that would be silly, but I have every right to get pissed at it.And its not nothing.Its like if someone broke your cup that was given to you by your dead mother for example.For the person, it is simply a cup.For you, its an irreplaceable item.The same would be here.Its a bit of an extreme example, but you get what I mean
