spemanig said: First off yes, I know I'm supposed to be spoiler free. I saw it on accident as I follow her on twitter. No use not talking about it now. Just don't bring it up in my thread. Anyway, the girl player is stupid, but I'm not going to get worked up over it because of the MUCH bigger news. VOICE ACTING OMG!!!!!!! This is HUGE!!!! If Nintendo does this right, holy shit. Holy shit. This is big. They NEED to make sure that the script is good and they NEED to make sure that the voice acting and direction is good. This could literally be a changing point for the company when it comes to software with wide market appeal. Needless to say, I'm pleased. (Also, let's not even pretend that this isn't real. Emily Rogers is equivalent to official confirmation as far as I'm concerned)

Yes, she is really trustworthy, so I'm willing to believe this is true. About female Link, I think that it should be done so I'm happy with it, although I really understand the reservations about it. For me, Link is an avatar for the player, although not many would agree with that. It's just the way I play Zelda games, I feel that I'm Link. So if I was a female, I'd like to play as a female avatar. And it works on the Zelda lore. I think in SS Demise said something like he condemned all Zelda/Link blood line to a cycle of fight and reborn? Or was it reincarnation? I can't really remember.

To the post above, no, revolution doesn't mean to break all traditions, but some dated traditions must be broken to adapt the franchise to modern times. Voice acting is one of them I think. Female Link, okay, that's different and it's up to interpretations, and I understand every point of view about it. It's not necessary, but I think it's a nice change.

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.

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.

BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

How can I possibley just pick male Link and ignore this, it has completely ruined the game for me. Nintendo need to go out of business already if they are going to ruin such classic franchises... New Link amiibo you say, I'll take 5

Female Snake isn't an unlockable, she's present throughout the whole game, although since you haven't played it I won't say further because it's massive spoilers of MGSV from here.

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
