Aonuma about Zelda and it seems that Zelda will have strong Sheikah focus

I never said that isnt possible, but thats hardly the case.Not to mention that a fan-made wiki dosent make for a strong argument in the first case.And as Wyrd has already said, there is the example of Persona 4, not to mention that many games and animes has already done this before.And there is a reason plotwise for Zelda to try to hide her gender:She is hiding from Ganondorf.Making her SEEM male makes it a better false identity.It all points to just being a good disguise, instead of gender-bending

 

Fan-wiki just recolects everything with sources, they just don't post fandom stuff without any source at all. Everything they stated can be constated by playing OoT, reading the guide or reading the manga.

And sure, a lot of games have done that; but at the same time, gender-bending is also utilized in many games and animes (Disgaea, BlazBlue, Darkstalkers...). And then again, is she's trying to hide her gender, actually SWAPPING genders makes for a better false identity than any disguise could ever hope. It actually points to gender-bending, you see.

And im suuuure that fan-wiki dont just reference the material they believe is correct and leave aside the ones that are not convenient.If we already have that problem with professionals, imagine with fans and their petty wars.

Yeah, but the difference if its actually possible.There is transformation in Zelda, but never once we saw someone having its gender swapped.And for being a better cover, Zelda would be better off hidden somewhere, not running around and fighting.In that sense, it would be better than if Sheik were a random guy, than Zelda atb all.So no, gender-swapping is not likely, and probably the less likely one.
