I also find it ironic that people are calling her outfit unoriginal and stating it should be more like link's. just keep proving how slow you are.

Thank you. I don't know how anyone can respond to this with anything other than a shrug before moving on with their lives.

I think it's a great idea, this way there will be a new generation of gamers.

Do we "need" a female Link? No. Do we "not need" a female Link? No. Do some people "want" a female Link? Yes. Do some people "not want" a female Link? Yes.

So it comes down to, some people want it and some people don't want it. The logical choice therefore is to make it an option, then people who want it can have it and people who don't want it don't have to have it.

Therefore there is nothing bad about the inclusion of a female Link. Anyone who is against this is basically saying they don't want others to enjoy something just because they don't want to enjoy it themselves. If you want to only care about yourself in that way then kindly fuck off so people can have fun playing a game.

The amount of "let's complain about feminism and SJW" shit revolving around this is ridiculous and completely misses the point (as it almost always does since 99% of anyone claiming one of those two things is somehow involved is usually wrong about it and just uses them as buzz words for something to hate).

Seems pandery and forced.

Link is a boy. If they want a female protag then just have a female protag. It would fit the universe just fine I think.

Link being a girl still kind of fits since all the games are only spiritually related and Link is more of an idea than a real person.

Actually now that I think of it.. I think I'd like it. Would be a new and cool take.

All I ask is that they deport whoever approved the name Linkie.

This. Link has always been a man (though sometimes a boy as young as 11) since 1986.

If they want a game with a female protagonist, Nintendo could resurrect the Metroid series. If they could fuse the story-telling of Other M with the gameplay of Metroid Prime, then it could be a kickass installment to an already stellar series.

That would be a dream. I'm still pissed they haven't done a Metroid installment for the Wii U.

Nintendo is doing all this stupid amiibo/mobile/etc. crap in a scramble.

And they're too stupid to realize they just need to make the games people want to see from them? Are they being run by complete morons atm?

Mario Galaxy 3, Metroid U, Zelda U, etc.

But no. No mention of MG3 other than a vague whisper that if they made it it would be on NX.

Too stupid to make a Metroid U. Let's make Federation Force guys! Btw, did you see that petition with 24,000 signatures for us to not make Federation Force? Let's do it anyway lol. Fuck our fans.

Zelda U? Let's release it right before NX so people buy it, then have the NX version be a little better like in the case of Twilight Princess. It's time to get with the times guys! Hate our customers and treat them with utter contempt. That's the key to success!

It doesn't bother me that there's a female link. I don't know why they went with Linkle, they could have come up with something better than that I imagine.

I imagine all of this talk about female's not being represented in gaming is a reason they even decided to make a female link. I honestly don't care, but do it because you want to not because you feel you need to.

I will put you down for no @The-Great-One

Dynasty Warriors with a Zelda skin is the worst idea

Also why doesn't she have a sword and pants?

Why is it stupid? Are you a Nintendo hater? @Hoodie

we don't need one, we already have tons of cool badass female characters in the Legend of Zelda, like Midna, Shiek/Zelda, and Impa. Not only that but we have a group of Female pirates?Thieves who have an entire society build by women. If feminist need a female playable character to make this franchise equal to both genders than something is wrong, cause it seems that that females have lots of power in Hyrule.
Also wouldn't a female link only make fanarts and fanfic writers thinking. We have enough already, stop them before its to late.

Don't know what's the point of all this. A game with Zelda as the main character would have been a better idea.

Link has just been transitioning since Ocarina and now she's comfortable enough to go by her new name.

I think we all agree that Linkle is a stupid name.

Oh and throughout all of this you will barely hear anyone talk about a male version of Zelda. Gonna call that right now.

I do not believe that anybody has desired a male Zelda.

You are voting NO on needing a female link.
