MALE

FEMALE

>no tits
>Aonuma straight up said Link is a boy last E3
>ITS A GIRL GUYS

This just in, the new hero will be able to change genders at will

>sales up 9000% in Sup Forums demographic

Zelda 1/2 confirmed

so like changing age or world but with gender? what is this dark souls 2?

I think you mean Sup Forumsumblr, so most Neotendo fans then

Why is link being a chick such a big deal?

It's not, so there's no reason to make it happen.

Laughing at idiots is a Sup Forums pastime, though.

Is it really necessary?

Why are we here?

Videogames

Chronic depression.

Two types of people.

Why does it make a difference? There's no reason for it not to be an option.

There is no reason to just have a male character have a female option
You faggots already make it seem like he's a femboy

Like asking why does it need to be a thing?

why do you get to choose a gender in any game?

WOLBACHIA

If there's no good reason to change something, that is inherently a reason not to change it.

Link is his own character, and there's no reason to change who he is. Thus.

EYES ON CHUBBY KAZUHIRA

Link is a boy.

DINE

When I play Mario, I dont ask why he doesnt have a female option.
When I play Donkey Kong, I dont ask why he doesnt have a female option.
When I play Kirby, I dont ask why he doesnt have a female option.
When I play Gex, I dont ask why he doesnt have a female option.
He is his own established character, and that doesnt need to be changed.

also

>is a different character every game
>is barely a character at all
>usually just a vessel for the triforce of courage
good argument

Link will be male in Japan but Nintendo of America is going to modify his gender to female during the localization

It really doesn't matter in a vacuum. Since there will be a shitstorm if Link is a girl, I'd rather it just doesn't happen.

Who is in favor of Link being female?

BURGER

>Donkey Kong
you can play as Dixie
>Mario
you can play as peach
>Kirby
doesnt have a gender
>Gex
who gives a shit

On top of this, Linkle exists now. Nintendo's already going the "make a unique character" direction. Dunno why babies are still trying to make Link into someone else.

The "vessel" is the same dude reincarnated each time. Thanks for helping me out.

About as much as Link being a dude.

Link doesn't really have much of a character, though

Link is a persona, not a single character. This has been known for decades and Skyward Sword cemented the idea that anyone can be Link. His name is even fucking symbolic of it.

Being able to choose your gender would have no impact on gameplay and only help people to get immersed. Although it's somewhat questionable since Link is already rather androgynous.

HOSHO

Female MC game will cause bad sales. So Nintendo will opt out on that.

>same dude
WW link has nothing to do with every other link though

Samus didn't need to be a boy for me to be immersed in Metroid. Fuck off.

That's cool and all but the "vessel" is the same dude reincarnated each time.

Really?

VOCAL CORD PARASITES

There's no reason for it to be an option.

Samus is a defined character, though. Link is a completely silent character with minimal background.

It's just Link with a hood, what the fuck are these people on?

>you can play as Dixie
Not a female version of the character, she is a canon character, and a good one at that

>you can play as peach
One spinoff game, and she isnt a male Mario

>doesnt have a gender
Sakurai calls him a "jolly fellow", and he is referred to as a male in multiple games

>who gives a shit
Me, suck a fatty


Ness is a silent protagonist, but he has character from the love of Steak, Rock music, and the way other characters treat him.
A few Links have shown personality, despite being a silent character and self-insert.

Since when is Dixie considered a female counterpart to Donkey Kong? Same goes with Peach and Mario. They're each a character with distinct personalities and traits that make them unique.

Male until definitively proven otherwise.

Theres like dozens of different links, each just being a reincarnation of the original right? A soul doesnt define what gender a baby will be. So its plausible for a female link to have existed at one point (not counting linkle since shes apparently not a "link")

Equality user
It's no longer the 80s

but ww link isnt

How about you make me a fucking sandwich, bitch?

You mean like Samus?

It's the same fucking face the color's off because the faggot's pasting a lanyard print onto digital art.
I swear this "Link needs to be/is a girl" shit needs to stop.

THE OCELOT'S AIM IS OFF TODAY

>plot involves Link being turned into a girl
>Zelda has to teach him how to be a girl

>If there's no good reason to change something, that is inherently a reason not to change it.
Here's a good reason: People want it.

Now explain to me why people are unreasonable for wanting it.

Already confirmed he's a boy.

Whatever xir identifies as, cis scum.

MOUTH TO MOUTH

A trap

YAPAPA
YAPAPA

>few Links
Thanks for reminding me; there are multiple Links.

Men that want something to fap to and pretend they're a girl while playing want it under the pretenses of gender equality and feminism.
Girls don't want it because Link is gateway fujobait.

same shit as:
>Release harry potter books
>books filled with references to Hermione being sandy haired white girl
>tumblr audience wants muh black femdom
>"I never once stated or referred to Hermione as white" claimed JK Rowling, after announcing that Cursed Child would star a sheboon as Hermione.

Its stupid fan service. Whatever they think will make them the most money, based on the vocal majority.

Right now Nintendo's stockholders are thinking "Little Girls = YEN", and for once its not in the practice of actually selling the child

>Here's a good reason: People want it.
You and the 4 samefagging trap loving autistic fucks on this board dont account for the majority

>doesnt have a gender

>It's no longer the 80s
But the 80s was all about diversity quotient filling children's media.

EL AMOR SIEMPRE VA SIN RAZON

Are you retarded? ever since the first Metroid she was established as a character on her own.

And yes the all the manga are canon, they were tie-in to show her personality and lifestyle. Zelda manga isn't canon, but their own contained universe.

BIG BROTHER IS NOW BIG SISTER.

>The mechanic is only used to enter different restrooms

Something as nebulously small as "people" wanting it isn't a good reason and if you think it is you unreasonably overestimate how entitled you are to a company's effort.

Show the market presence of people who specifically want and will only pay for Link being a girl/having that option, and you might get more results.

Ever since the first Metroid, when she wasn't even revealed to be female until the very fucking end? Sure, because her character was so integral to that gameplay experience.

>Dixie is DK's female counterpart
Fucking underage faggots.
She is DIDDY'S BUBBLEGUM AND GRAPE LOVING GUITAR PLAYING GIRLFRIEND

why can't nintendo just tell us what it is. them jerking people around is going to get backlash no matter what at this point. link is a girl pisses people off for changing the status quo, link is a boy pisses people off because they're fucking cock teasing people that he might be a girl.

it's a no win situation

1. You don't need to be a majority for a game to cater to you.
2. Are you really going to play ignorant, and pretend there are thousands of people out there who think an optional female Link is desirable? You're really going to sit here and just lie to my face like that?

>after announcing that Cursed Child would star a sheboon as Hermione
It was a stage play, you fucking moron. Plays do this kind of shit all the time.

dixie is cuuute

I DONT FUCKING CARE

CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE GAMEPLAY,STORY, ANYTHING THAT DOSENT INVOLVE THIS SHIT

>But it seems like that's not the case. Speaking to Australian site MMGN, Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma has said that the character in the trailer was, in fact, a male Link. "You know, you have to show Link when you create a trailer for a Zelda announcement," said Aonuma to the site.

Why are people still retarded about this?

>it's a genderbender episiode

Why do the Social Justice cucks want to take everything we like and augment it to shit? Remember when they tried to make Captain America gay?

>Are you really going to play ignorant
Way to out yourself.
Did you miss your daily estrogen dosage?

I want another sword that isnt the master sword

Profit doesn't rule every decision. Video Games are creative products. Some decisions are made simply for the fun of it. You remember fun right? If someone with an ounce of creativity sees a demand, and thinks it's worth filling, then that's reason enough to do it.

To suffer.

this games magical gimmick will be the ability to change into a girl

if not switch from Link to Zelda to solve puzzles or fight enemies.

are not they like cousins or something?

He is, though.

>You could assault people in there but you don't because thats not what you want to do

>Profit doesn't rule every decision
>If someone sees a demand, and thinks it's worth filling
>thinks it's worth filling
>worth

>he thinks anyone will see a demand if nobody can actually quantify it
>he genuinely thinks Nintendo will cater to him and the 5 other posters on his messageboard posting the same thing every day to make himself look bigger

Show people you want it. Show them it's a dealbreaker if you can't have it. That's how it will happen.

>Way to out yourself.
>Did you miss your daily estrogen dosage?
Oh, for a minute, I thought I was talking to someone who cared about logic and reason. Instead, I'm talking to someone who denies the demand for female Link, and lobs personal attacks. OK.

WOAH
EVEN BETTER

They arent even the same species.
Diddy is a spider monkey, and Dixie is a lowland gorilla.
And their snouts have different structures.

>You faggots already make it seem like he's a femboy
>Implying

>Everyone wanting female link
>Meanwhile I'm alone in wanting Ganondorf as the MC for a game

>I'm talking to someone who denies the demand for female Link
What demand?
Why is it such an issue now?
Cant you faggots ask for Zelda to be playable instead of changing a character?

>Zelda's a trap

Yes. Yes YESSSS

Because literally every single incarnation of the Hero of Time is male. It's like asking "Why can't Samus or Tomb Raider be male"?
