>Christina Grimmie, the young singer (and former The Voice contestant) who was tragically shot and killed in Orlando earlier this month, was a massive and very vocal fan of the Legend of Zelda series. In the wake of her murder, fans have been asking Nintendo to honour her in an upcoming game.
I don't give a damn one way or another, go for it.
Ethan Robinson
who?
Levi Bell
First of all, people do that shit every time just about any person dies and it's never a good idea. Second, i'm contractually obligated to tell you to kill yourself for linking Kotaku.
Nolan Barnes
No idea who this is. This qualifies as advertisement.
Easton Cooper
No.
Aiden Long
She had really nice legs but this is a really tacky idea
Robert Gonzalez
Literally who?
Benjamin Bell
is she single?
Noah Wood
No. It'll look like those cringey kickstarter namedrops.
"Here lies Jaykwon Rodriguez, knight of the kingdom"
Mason Sanders
Tits or get the fuck out you silly bitch
Blake Harris
if they didnt do it for robin williams, why would they do it for a z lister?
Jacob White
Did it work for Robin Williams?
Christian Reed
>nice legs So does every teen if they aren't a fatty
Jason Hill
>linking to shitaku
James Evans
proof?
also how her footgame
Jaxson Carter
There's no reason to get asshurt if they do. But I'm sure we'll get a thousand threads of: >A minor NPC got named after a dead girl REEE FUCKING NORMIE ATTENTION WHORE
Colton Long
>Thoughts? Should Nintendo comply? They didn't do it when Robin Williams died they're not going to do it for some literally who
Parker Brown
Lots of dead people probably liked Zelda.
Jeremiah Roberts
No. She's forever with God now.
Juan Jenkins
Except the name "Christina" doesn't exist in the Zelda world
Jose Barnes
We should ask for nintendo put Rob Williams daugher name on new zelda too?
Landon Anderson
Why the fuck would they? There's nothing Robin Williams related and he wasn't just some pseudo-hipster "gamer" girl.
Owen Lee
what's with people demanding miscellaneous shit from Nintendo lately? They're not going to listen.
Lincoln Adams
literally who
Isaac Thomas
Whatever. Makes no difference. All I know is, you're giving Kotaku free clicks.
Liam Sanders
If it's just naming some random village mob after her, go for it I don't care. Anything other than that and they can fuck right off desu senpai
Lincoln Adams
She sang contemporary pop she's definitely burning in hell
Anthony Rogers
They have absolutely no obligation to. Doesn't matter who she was or what she did or what circumstances she died under.
Having said that, I don't think it would be a huge deal if they did. You could just name the character Grimmie, and it would fit pretty well with the universe.
Kayden Richardson
Fun fact: Every chick has a few thousand dopplegangers with the same personality walking around.
Just go outside and you'll find a carbon copy of OP's broad.
Isaiah Edwards
Doing shit like this is a great way to take advantage of the emotions in the general public. And where you can exploit others stupidity, there is money to be made. Sounds like a win win to me.
Robert Allen
I'm contractually obligated to tell you to pre-order horizon from gamestop today!
Michael Martin
Link, Zelda, and Ganon are all real names.
Ethan Peterson
it definitely wouldn't hurt to just have a minor npc named Grimmie, but Nintendo already came out and said they weren't going to reference her.
Robert Young
>SJWs can't find a reason to get mad at Nintendo this year since they don't make rooty shooty games other than Splatoon so they take advantage of the fact someone who was killed HAPPENED to like Zelda, but probably in the "lmao i'm such a nerd! xd" way
Eli Moore
I hope they do it and the character gets violently shot and killed seven seconds after they are introduced
Landon Morales
Why do people think Japanese businessmen give a shit about the lives of western people?
Brandon Rodriguez
How about honor all the gay nightclub victims and if you don't you're homophobic.
Jordan Howard
I got a paper cut the other day, I think I deserve to have a shout out in the next Zelda game.
Nolan Gomez
I'm sure plenty of Zelda fans have died over the years and no one gives a shit about any of them getting recognition.
Camden Collins
Not before Robin Williams should get honoured in a Zelda game. This chick ain't some special snowflake which died among the people killed in Orlando, fuck off with this shit. People die and we can grieve for their passing but we shouldn't try to engrave their fucking name on everything remotely related.
Charles Lopez
>be american >get shot
Gunlets when will they learn?
Luis Hughes
>nose ring Red flag for crazy bitches you don't want to stick your dick into
If anyone should get a Zelda character named after them, it's Robin Williams.
Owen Davis
>HONOR THIS PERSON IN YOUR GAME FOR US every single person who asks this is a complete fucking scumbag. it's worse than coloring your profile pictures pink for breast cancer.
Cooper Foster
Let them do it. I will personally make SFM porn of her model.
Camden Gomez
Shouldn't the name Robin Williams takes more priority?
Easton Gray
who cares, i don't remember any of the irrelevant town's people's names from skyward sword, if one of them had been named Grimmie it wouldn't effect things one way or the other
Cameron Edwards
No. I'd no further expect that they not honor my non-special snowflake name in a zelda game than hers. even though I like zelda, I don't think the series should be defined by a random person, regardless of circumstance.
Josiah Garcia
kek, I hate that I laughed at this.
Zachary Turner
I would be upset if Nintendo even entertains the idea of this, while they didn’t do it for Robin Williams, who was such a big fan that he named his daughter after the titular character (a true dedicated man)
Angel Jones
This is so incredibly disrespectful. Being on The Voice doesn't make her any more important than any other Zelda fan that's passed away. Seriously fuck you.
Liam Gray
Hey i want my name in a game too! I always tell my friends to go buy Nintendo games, i constantly post threads on Sup Forums and reddit to advertise their games, and i buy their games all the time!
Jesus fucking Christ
Gavin Roberts
They didn't name one after Robin Williams, they aren't going to name one after your shitty fucking cunt of an American Idol reject.
Anthony Murphy
Who?
Angel King
>crazy bitches That's every woman in existence.
All women are essentially bratty little girls. Just come to terms with it and treat them like they are a small child. They will in turn respond differently to you.
Ryder Cox
Why did Sup Forums stop using pastebin? Who is this girl anyway?
Logan Harris
...who?
Ian Butler
>kotaku >some literally who bitch no one cares about
Fuck off and kill yourself.
Jack Johnson
Or just expunge them from your life completely. Only cucks associate with women in any capacity.
Colton Morgan
They shouldn't because nothing bad can happen to a tribute character, and the player can get no meaningful interaction with them because anyone could be offended by whatever personality Nintendo gives the character.
Tyler Reed
Hey guys, if I kill myself can you tell Nintendo to put me in the next Mario game
Charles Johnson
>looks like the typical emo gamer gurls
This a joke, right? Right?
Michael Watson
Yea but this person was killed and not a pussy who killed himself Nintendo doesn't condone such acts.
Ian Perez
Why isn't Link named Robin Williams in this new game?
Ryan Phillips
>who is this girl Dunno. A girl is a girl is a girl. If its cute, fuck it. Otherwise who cares.
Liam Johnson
I post kotaku links because it helps us with the click counts
Kevin Brown
Nobody said make it a major character.
Ryan Watson
>uncut fags are so desperate they resort to... this. I honestly feel kinda sad.
Cameron Ramirez
What's the point? They're dead so it's not like they can enjoy it, not everyone that signed the petition is a fan of Zelda, and most of the fans of the game that play it wouldn't even know who that random named NPC is anyways.
Gabriel Ramirez
she was pretty popular locally and she died from some crazy ass fans. That's a mix for longevity right there. Trends man.
Owen Sanchez
LOL
John Anderson
I don't think its a bad idea and I can't say i'm opposed to it.
But i'm not exactly for it either. Lots of people have died since they originally announced this game years ago.
They might not even put in a iwata tribute
Brayden King
That would defeat the point of naming his daughter Zelda.
Nicholas Price
Okay Sup Forums, say it with me.
Christian Adams
no because she isn't here to appreciate it anyway
Lucas Hall
Like, why????
Nolan Gutierrez
Of course not. She was apparently populare and yet I cannot think of a single person who actually knew who she was before she died which means she was not actually famous and therefore not important.
Kevin Sanchez
>Just come to terms with it and treat them like they are a small child.
better way to say this is that girls like to be spoiled.
Carter Lopez
>it's real
Luke Bennett
>can kill yourself in zelda >can't be shot to death Fuck away
Lincoln Scott
I can almost guarantee over a million Zelda fans have died so far. Might as well put every name possible to cover all bases.
Ryan Hall
BIG
Austin Brooks
I was about to say this, there's people who've died who were probably way bigger fans than she ever could be, I wonder how her parents feel about this shit
Joseph Morales
...
Jason James
>Thoughts? Should Nintendo comply? Of course not, it's entirely up to them.
Michael Allen
I will leave the emotional part out of it, but she meant a lot to me.
She started out doing videos on youtube under the username zeldaxlove64x, she had a beautiful voice. She was supposed to be at E3, just one week after the tragic event. I think they should do it, I love Christina Grimmie.
Thomas Cox
I've been buying Nintendo games since i was 4.
Be right back, im gonna go to this back alley where people usually get shot at. Tell Nintendo i want my name in the next Mario & Luigi game.
Hunter Sullivan
>black one is the biggest
sit down
Camden Jones
her last name is kind of similar
Jason Long
It's it a he or a she?
William Garcia
No, isn't it enough that many gallons of semen have been ejaculated because of her?
Kayden Smith
Be honest, how many people in this thread heard of this girl BEFORE she died?
Carson Brown
>Robin Williams doesn't get his name in the new Zelda >but his daughter does
Fuck Nintendo
Matthew Cruz
Since there is no constant random gun violence in the Zelda games do they even sell well in america?
