Yep, Link is now basically a cross-gender. That's very smart of them... and I think it fits well (he was always cute anyway).

You know, hips don't lie.

Sorry, couldn't resist!



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

I hope he never makes that horrible female Link reality. Link is an established male character and people needs to respect that. Zelda games are mean to be played as Link just like Mario games with Mario or Metroid games with Samus.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile


Female Link does not need to happen unless there is a good, organic reason for it.

I'd much rather they make the best game they can with the absolute best story they can dream up. If that's a female Link then I'm fine with that--but if they have to force it in just to please some fans then we all lose.

However, a game centered around Zelda being the heroine would be great.



I'd much prefer a Zelda game to a reinvention of Link. It's about time she got her own outside of that CDi stuff.

I 100% agree.  Thank you for this.

Thank goodness! Do NOT change a thing.

Iconic characters should be consistant. I would have issues with a female Mario or a male Samus as well. Sometimes trying to cater to everyone can cause more harm than good.



Well, I would love to play a game as Zelda or Linkle!

Maybe with the Zelda amiibo we could get a Zelda costume!



Ever notice how Americans almost always act drunk when they have a camera on them?



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

If Aonuma said Link was a female, feminists would've jumped at him with:

"CHEAP GENDER SWAPPING" and "Ms.male huh? Thanks Nintendo, but nope"

Glad they are not listening to the bunch of cry babies on the webs.



Using Zelda is a far superior option.
