You're not getting that option so shut the fuck up. Faggot Social Justice Wiener.

I literally don't give a shit who I play in a zelda game because I haven't given. Shit about a zelda game since wind waker

I'll play Skyrim.

A character creator would have been nice.

at first i didn't, but then they showed you can take link clothes off

Reminder that SJWs hated Linkle for being a Ms. Male Character.
They don't want an option. They don't want a female version of an established male character existing alongside him. They want the male character REPLACED because they think being male is a bad thing.

I'd prefer you drink some bleach.

no because I don't play as a girl

No, because it's very clear that this Link is one from a previous game. He's male because that prior Link was, and Liberals need to shut the fuck up about it.

THat wouldn't be Link so...no. I play Zelda games expecting to play as Link.

>hmmm

>Aonuma says Link has to be male to maintain balance in the Triforce
>Link is male
>Zelda is female
>Ganondorf is non-binary

I wouldn't care either way. Link has always been a guy, so there's nothing wrong with continuing that, but it's not like a female option would have changed anything for people who want to play as male Link.

Liberals are the only ones who play Zelda. Conservatives think it's another of Satan's tools to teach kids the occult.

I would if she was cute enough

He's a pigman

considering this intro, as well as the heavy implications that this is in the Wind Waker timeline, it's totally possible that we're playing a grown up WW Link.

I don't give a single shit, however I am glad there isn't one. There's already enough shitposting in this god forsaken place without something like that happening.

I'm Conservative, and that's fucking retarded. Anyone who thinks Zelda is some work of the devil clearly is looking for reasons to be mad.

Fuck off neofag

But we already know what happened to WW Link.

what happend to him?

No, because Link is a male character.

We have an idea, but something could have happened between Spirit Tracks and Phantom Hourglass that would put him in some stasis-coma thing. This wouldn't be the first time Zelda was retconned.

>I'm a conservative, but blah blah liberal talking points

False flag harder, Tumblrina.

He went off with Tetra and founded the Hyrule Railroad Company

>Ganondorf is non-binary

For all in tents of purps of his, this is true.

I don't play Legend of Zelda to jack off. That's what Elder Scrolls is for.

...What? I put no Liberal talking points, I just said that people who think Zleda is the work of the devil is stupid.

>inb4 this is a "WW Link failed" timeline

As dumb as it would be, it's also possible after the "OoT Link failed" timeline from Hyrule Historia.

>Conservatives are stupid

You're a liberal.

Isn't that the one where ALttP stems from? We did see the sacred grove in the trailer.

Right on, Brother!

I honestly would, but only because i could be naked with just shorts and a bra, and people would also find a way to make Female link naked thanks to Wii U already being hackable and all that.

>implying all conservatives think that.
You're a fool.

Link is an established character within the lore and narratives of the games he's appeared in, and has always been Male.

He's not like some Skyrim blank slate with no personality, at least not completely. He has his own character with predetermined origin, personality, goals, motivations, and personality.

It's varied from game to game as the series has evolved, but one constant has always been that Link is a young boy (the same hero reincarnated) who goes on an adventure that involves saving a princess. That's his shtick, the timeless story that is at the core of every Zelda game.

All adding an option to customize your Link's gender and/or appearance would do is fundamentally fuck up the basics of what makes a Zelda game a Zelda game, and cheapen an iconic video game character and put him down to the level of shit like "Mass Effect Guy", "Minecraft Guy", or the aforementioned "Skyrim guy".

I don't actually think they could have made this Link any girlier, it would have just meant that you can't get away with having Link run around in only boxer shorts.

I'd prefer if there was dating option where I can fug other girls and to convince them to join me in battle so I can have a party of AIs attacking everything.

Yes. I'm not saying that they should have forced you to play a female Link. It just should have been an option to choose male or female at the start, and the story could have been designed in such a way so as to it not mattering which gender you chose. Zelda games for the most part don't really focus on Link's sexual interactions with other characters anyway, with the exception of a few games where romance actually plays a part.

This is what makes me think that BotW's story must have elements that are actually dependent on Link being male. The fact that he is specifically called Link in this game, and you don't get the option to name him, probably a lot about why a female option was left out.

Someone should make a stink out of that, to deprive pedo womyn, much like how the same degenerates are depriving men of their lewd sex objects.

Liberals and conservatives aren't real. They're boogeymen. Liberals started calling themselves libertarians, because the term "liberal" got hijacked by feminists and fascists. The battle is not Republican VS Democrat, the battle is control VS freedom.
>Conservatives think it's another of Satan's tools to teach kids the occult.
Literally nobody in the entire world thinks this.

I don't think it would work with the style of Zelda. Link has always been kind of a cuck. Almost everyone telling him what to do is some chick or another. There is always some flirting, some cutsie talk, and insinuation that has been a staple since at least Link's Awakening.

A female option would change the mood of the series. I don't think the characters and their interactions would be as much fun. "Link" would probably be far less interesting if there was any sort of variation to what the writers specifically put in place.

Options are always nice, especially when you can run around shirtless

if she is wearing the same link is wearing when no equipment + a simple bra, yes.

Never. Ever. Thank you.

THIS!

I believe that Aonuma is very much so aware that we want a female Link, and I don't doubt that we will get one in a future game, but for this game, no.

I think the reason is because Aonuma has already gone rather far with the plot and the story calls for Link to be a male in this game, or else they would have to go back and change some important plot related elements. He probably wanted to say that, but didn't want to give anything away. So he came up with the BS Zelda excuse.

Considering who I think this resurrected Link is pic related, nah.

His game didn't have a gender option so it wouldn't make sense if he was suddenly a girl.

This. All adding a gender option would accomplish is dumbing down character interactions and story themes to make them less specific to the actual character of Link.

Since Zelda isn't an RPG, I don't know why anyone would want to water down the Zelda formula even more by making the stories less personal for the sake of a minority of "self inserting" better if they were playing as a female character. (Because apparently some women are too arrogant/stupid to be able to relate to a male protagonist on the same level.)

I'd play as a qt gril over a fuccboi desu

A hole is a hole faggot

I don't see the harm. Link is barely a character anyway, so having the option of picking Link's gender would hardly change anything.

>This. All adding a gender option would accomplish is dumbing down character interactions and story themes to make them less specific to the actual character of Link.


>>>>>>Link is a character

No, Link is a dude and should stay that way.

And I say that as a faggot who ALWAYS plays as a cute girl in a video game when give the option/a character creator.

I honestly would have no problem with a gender option. There's nothing to lose for us, as players. Of course, it'd be a whole lot more work for Nintendo.

It's his game. If Aonuma wants Link to be a guy then he should be a guy. If other people want Link to be a girl or have gender options that's too fucking bad. He also shouldn't worry about what the "fans" want because the majority of people will buy it regardless. He doesn't own them anything and they aren't entitled to anything.

Link is literally one of the most iconic and recognizable characters in video game history, like top fucking 5.

Everyone knows Link and what he's all about, despite not having said a sing line of dialog since his inception.

Nintendo would be fucking foolish to throw that away in favor of doing a "create your own hero" kind of Zelda game.

On another note, it can't be the hero of time.
In TP he's clearly dead as the hero's shade, so it's not him, and the Koroks are in the game, so can't be the "defeated hero" timeline to begin with, it must be the wind waker timeline.
But then again you can clearly see a destroyed temple of time, so what the fuck?
Who the fuck is this resurrected Link?

holy shit get your head out of your ass it has nothing to do with that. people just like playing as female mc

No, because I always liked how this franchise can make a young, always non-muscular boy like me feel like I can be the hero too.

Considering everything this game is copying from TPP, the reason you can't change his gender is because you're a synthetic cloneof the real link who stopped his mission for some reason. That's why Hyrule is abandonned.

cute! CUTE!

No because Link is a boy
Keep it in your shitty fandoms

next they'd want Zelda to be a prince

>C'mon!

>"Link is my favorite game character"

Right on par with people who praise Gordan Freeman as a character. Nobody cares.

why would you want Link with tits, not even is that sexualizing, but he's feminine enough as he is

women can be flat chested

at this point it really is complaining for the sake of complaining

Can we get a Female version of this?

I'm not gay

Now THAT would be over the line, because Zelda is a real character.

Then could you explain Link's character? As far as I can tell, he's just a mute kid/teenager who does what other people tell him to do.

Yes.

But a boipucci is fine too.

You must be new

being gay for Link isn't gay

Koroks are in paintings in ALBW. So it's not impossible for them to exist in Decline.

The Master Sword is only in the woods by itself h it in the Decline timeline. In TP's timeline they moved the entire Temple to woods. In WW's timeline they move the Sword to the castle and then WW Link moves it to Ganondorf's skull.

Ganon was also in a very similar situation that BotW describes. He's on the verge of breaking out of the seal in the many years following OoT because Link couldn't land the final blow on him in OoT's Defeated ending beforehand.

OoT Link is also the only Link whose defeat is made to be a big deal.

Link is for girls, there needs to be a hero for boys to play as!

no twink link is good enough

Never had a chance.

Link is a established character and Nintendo is not going to sacrifice that.

EVER

In a nutshell:

Link is a classic Hero's Journey protagonist, purposely boiled down to the essentials to make him relatable to anyone. He's a young boy, usually immature and inexperienced, who despite being severly underpowered and underequipped. As he finds his courage, meets new people, masters new skills, and builds his arsenal, he is able to beat the odds to save his friends/the kingdom.

That's why he's the embodiment of the Triforce of Courage, and this character arc of him maturing into a hero is pretty consistent in most (but not all, like MM/Oracles) games. Newer entries have been progressively doing a better job at both establishing this and giving link more personality. Especially Wind Wanker and Squidward Sword, where the character development is far from subtle. (Linnk leaving home to save his sister is one of my favorite moments in all of Zelda.)

Link is a silent protagonist, but that doesn't mean he doesn't grow over the course of his adventure.

No, I may want to be a cute girl, but there are plenty of other games that let me do that.

Link should remain a guy.

Nor should they. Link is iconic as fuck, and therefore prints money by just exisiting in a game.

There is literally no reason to cheapen that.

these guys get it:
They might as well have just thrown it in there. It would have been nicer than this sad, neutered chick-fantasy.

>I DON'T HAVE TO BE WEAK JUST SO YOU CAN BE STRONG

words from the cunts themselves.

>being gay isn't gay

Let's break down what you just said....

He's so feminine at this point it's not even gay

>Feminine men aren't men
>men aren't men

1=/=1

What?

So did he get time blipped like in OoT or did someone just pull the ocean's plug to let it drain in the 10ish years it would be if this was WW Link?

Because I know Phantom Hourglass is a direct sequel to WW and the ocean was still covering the world.

If it's a really long time after WW, it could very well be due to planting all the deku trees

Men can be cute girls too!

its a joke dickhead

I wouldn't have minded a female option but i'd rather they focused other stuff.

I'd rather just play as Zelda.

Yes, because I'm a heterosexual male.

No, I can masturbate easily enough to male Link.

>the deku trees drained the ocean
I like the theory that the ocean evaporated

There are so many SJW definitions of sexuality, that it's hard to tell when people are joking nowadays.

This, did you giglesquee when you saw that too? :^)

I would have preferred a male option

No. So the lore can stay male Link oriented and so they can give us some LinkxZelda action like they did in SS.

At least just a bit.

Sterling just had to throw his fat in the ring and give his opinion.

Yes, link is too femenine for me to properly project onto anyway.

Does anyone have that picture of the mom telling he son that he can be whatever he wants, and the next panel is him grown up as some sort of tumblr abomination and the mom just has the most disappointed look on her face?
