Skinny guys do not have "pecks" that bulge over chest belts. If she was fat or even musculer you'd have an argument. However she's clearly not, and very feminine. So at this point you are grasping at straws at best and ignoreing all the other substantial evidence.


That is an EXTREMELY weak argument given that you're making those "boobs" seem MUCH bigger than they are.  They are barely even visible.  All of your evidence is weak.  Seriously.  How hard is it to believe that those things you are seeing are NOT boobs?  The amount of footage shown of the character up close is LITERALLY only SECONDS long, and the amount of "ANGLES" in the shot are LITERALLY only a FEW.  And given that ONE of the angles actually DON'T fit with your observation is ME grasping at straws?  Seriously?  


Its a lot stronger than your argument that focuses entirly on one angle and ignores all other evidence. At least Im being realistic and looking at everything instead of being irrational.

You know what would have helped determine if it's really Link or not? Proper textures, not cop out cel shading.

Cel shading has always sucked, always will. Worst videogame art style out there.

I'm literally the only one who likes Link's redesign.

I like it too. And I hope it's a girl, too.

I don't see anything either. He looks plenty masculine, unless there's some crazy Sheik-level transformation gong on here.

Plus, who other than Link has a horse and uses unique weapons?

Zelda for one. Also it's not links horse they are riding. Pleanty masculine for a transvestite maybe with boobs visible from literally every other angle.

That's not Zelda.

I think we're looking too deeply into this. Unless there's magical tranformation going on, I doubt it's not Link. And I even further doubt Nintendo puts a transvestite in an E3 trailer for one of their biggest games.

What are you going to say if it turns out to be a girl? At least I'm keeping the option open for it to be either. Apparently you never saw the trailer for Ocarina of time where they infact put in Zelda dressed as a man. It's better to be open to any possibility instead of being irrational and ignoring evidence for either scenario.

No, I am considering everything.  My argument is that we have no definitive evidence either way.   I am not ignoring your so called "evidence."  All those other angles could be a wrinkle in the shirt given that in those shots, "Link" is moving.  Cloth physics probably are playing a part.  Also, the lighting itself may be deceiving what you're seeing.  And it's extremely subtle what you're pointing out that you can't really make ANY call on it.  You're the one being irrational because ALL it takes is ONE piece to take apart another claim.  AKA this is a contradiction to your statements.  What you're providing isn't a contradiction to what I'm presenting because I'm not the one making the claims that the character is female/has boobs.

You arn't considering everything. If that were true you would consider that they are indeed boobs instead of dismissing it as shirt fluff and your only piece of evidence wouldn't be a single photo from one angle followed by unrealistic speculation.

A new character or direction hopefully.Nintendo needs something fresh instead of rehashing.

I'm done talking about this with you.  You just brought this argument full circle and making underhanded insults.

Lets be real, that trailer alone was not enough evidence to support something as drastic as a lead change in the Main Line Zelda game for the console.

The fact that you're disagreeing means that too much open interpretation and speculation is floating around.

Occam's Razor would also argue against it, its simply more likely a redesign then a lead change.

Let me see another trailer and here this characters voice. Then I'll decide, the clothes alone doesn't support the argument of this being a girl as their are rarely any tomboys, both in nature and in dress, in the hyrule universe. The exception would probably be Sheik, but thats a disguise not a lifestyle choice.
