The definition of woman is matter of subjective belief, different people have different beliefs, and as long as you don't force yours on others, that's okay.

I know, but I still say she should be allowed to play Zelda. She already looks like Zelda, assuming we're going for a pre-Breath of The Wild look for Zelda.

Yeah the resemblance to Twilight Princess Zelda is definitely striking.

Don't get me wrong, I bear no will will whatsoever to Hunter or trans people, I just personally feel that when casting the best choice should be the person who is closest to the character/person they are portraying, including factors like sex, race, height, build, etc.

Fair points.

Who says she's not female? Trans women ARE women.

Female refers to biological sex, the organism that is developed to produce ovum.

When the reproductive cells of the actress will take part on portraying a fictional character?

That's simply the most fundamental aspect from which the rest stems, one's sex obviously extends to numerous other characteristics including elements such as skeletal structure which effects one's physical resemblance to a character.

That can be easily coutorned with makeup/prothesis. Even female cosplays need that bc Zelda is a cartoonish videogame character.

Btw, looking by "Blade Runer 2099" images, she will have any trouble in showing feminine traits and she really has an elf-ish natural look

True, personally though I think would be a better fit to just cast someone who is the same sex as the character.

I kinda doubt it will happen anyway, in today's awful political climate it would kick off a massive shitstorm which I think Nintendo would want to avoid.

A climate we're in because of that orange tumor and far right scum like him. He's even got ICE acting like the gestapo and he's pardoning white collar criminals like himself. He makes Ganondorf look good.

i remember predicting NSW would sell 150mil directly after launch in 2017. Granted, I was an 8th grader who fell in love with NSW & BotW, and was riding the wave of crazy hype (i still remember the “this would make for a PERFECT game on Switch!” trend)…though i was still spot on lol.

Ask a casual gamer who enjoys the system how they think it’ll sell and you’ll have a solid answer. Casuals know what casuals want. It’s extremely hard to predict the sales of Nintendo systems for this reason. Literally anything can happen! For all we know, NSW2 will follow the downward momentum of NSW1 and sell only 8mil F’26.

Get Elliot Page to play Link as well and the internet will melt.

I like how beat'em ups went to a store and pre ordered 'ALL' Switch 2 launch games + the system and I wonder how much it would cost to do so...
