I think this is all about the sword. Link carries around his normal or undersized swords...and cloud carries around his big sword.

Your thoughts?...Is just another "sizes matters" situation?

I think part of it has always been the ambiguity of Link's age. He ranges from young to teenager-ish to adult in various games. Anyone making the same sexual jokes about Link as Cloud might be a pedo.

The other part is that Link has never had that rough and tough image. People feel insecure compared to Cloud so they make fun of him to hide their own insecurities. People don't do that with Link because whereas Cloud has that firmly defined personality, a lot of people project themselves into Link. When someone plays FF7, they control the cast but the cast each has distinctive personalities. When people play Zelda, they become Link. Link's ambiguous and player-defined character is something that Miyamoto has spoken of and one of the highlights of the series.

you always make such nice well thought out posts.

Cloud is looked at, like many gay emo kids, as a girl, so the girls want to do his hair and the guys can not feel gay lusting after him

Link as a kid stabbed gannon in the forehead. There is also no waiting 2 minutes for some lame power animation when link fights. He just mofoin stabs you.

I am a Gauntlet Adventurer.

I strive to improve my living conditions by hoarding gold, food, and sometimes keys and potions. I love adventure, fighting, and particularly winning - especially when there's a prize at stake. I occasionally get lost inside buildings and can't find the exit. I need food badly. What Video Game Character Are You?

Link doesn't have any character depth, he doesn't speak, he has no past and he allways gets pretty much randomly chosen to save the world.

That's why I prefer cloud, even if he emoes atleast he does it for a reason.

Cloud needs his big sword, or else how would he be able to hit for OVER 9000!!!

Anyway, link can get a big goron's sword too :P

If you look hard enough you'll find sexual inuendos in anything.

I like Cloud, but he's a little bitch. I like Link, but he's a mute. Make Link talk and I'd go with Link since he seems to be a chill guy, I hate emo bitches IRL.
