Oh, really? How come? Why would it go against the "brand" that Zelda Franchise is?

Zelda should be Link's sister and in the beggining you can choose which one would you like to play.

Hes always been a boy/man.

A link thats suddenly a girl, would break away from what your brand is, and people expect from a main line zelda game.

Its the wrong way to do it.

If you want a strong female lead that saves the world, dont just force a reskin of link, into the body of a female.

Make a new character, and a new game for that, instead.

Launching an NX version of the game was mostly inevitable since the moment Zelda was delayed to 2016. And they already did the same in the past, so it's nothing new.

Male of Female Link won't be a big problem. I mean, if I could played with a right-handed Link in the past, I can play with a female Link too.

Voice acting would be cool as long as the voices are well choosed and Link doesn't talk. After all, explaining why Link can't talk can be very trivial.

Yep, I'm mostly ok with those three rumors.

Because then they are Link?? 

I mean either Link isnt really every Link's actual name (kinda like James Bond is a code name theory), its why I can change my name at the start of a game or the Goddesses put it in the parents mind with their magical Goddess powers to call their kid Link. Which by the way makes i really easy for a Demon King to find and kill said child unless Link is a common name, in which case he would kill them all

No. This is patently untrue.

You can play missions as any of the prisoners you rescue, male or female. Black, white, or asian. Blonde, Brunette or Ginger. None of these characters get any type of special treatment. There is no such thing as FemSnake.

These prisoners do not replace Venom Snake in any way shape or form. If you are referring to the polygon article, the author just took one of the female rescued prisoners and randomly decided she was the female version of Venon Snake, and pretended that was a fact from there. This is that author's headcanon, nothing more.

I can almost 100% guarantee that the worst that would come from the option of choosing Link as male/female is people on the internet complaining. I'd be shocked if it caused anyone not to buy the game and absolutely love it.

As long as they're doing the story right I completely trust Nintendo to give us this option and have it make sense.

What i think would be cool would be a game where you play as both Link and Zelda who are on two different quests that converge towards the end of the game. But no, lets be lazy and make Link female to satisfy a loud minority of people and make a Ms, Male character in the process. Thought those were supposed to be bad

But doing a female Link just for the sake of it?I find it wrong.I mean, you could do it because the lore allows it, but I find it wrong.Link has always been male and should remain so.Lately there has been too much political correctness and that would be another case of it in my opinion.

Having said that, if gamers are interested to play a Zelda game as a femlae protagonist, why not make Zelda the main caracther?Or even better, a new one with a whole new personality, backstory(as to why she is fighting against evil and so on), and cast of friends.Maybe a new location.It would make everyone happy(well most anyway.I just dont see the need to make a female Link skin.

And Samus is female.Nintendo never said otherwise.

Link has been multiple things. Left handed. Right handed. He's been different species altogether in the same game. Suddenly he's a woman and it's a problem?

There's nothing wrong about a female Link. And you can still play as the male one if you want. Everyone wins, except the ones who see an outrage that Link could be reincarnated in a female body as well.
