Maybe the genderswap is part of the gaming mechanic? Not a choice at the beginning. I mean, we have a clear example of similar genderswapping in a Zelda game before (OoT).

Maybe there is a good reason. Because 30 years of doing it one way doesn't neccesarily mean they always did what they wanted. |
Isn't Metroid just as old as Legend Of Zelda?
Like i said in the other thread she never said that the female character is a female Link

It still does, even with todays "progressive minds". Maybe the sales have nothing to do with the gender of the character?

Alright, you believe it, I don't. We will see.

"When it comes to female protagonists in games, that was something developers were genuinely afraid of back in the day. Because the vast majority of gamers were male back then, and they were afraid of losing sales simply because the protagiopnist was female."
That's specifically what I was talking about. What are you talking about?
