Now that the dust has settled, why did Nintendo actually do this?
Was it really all meant as a tongue-in-cheek joke at crossdressers? It would make sense considering Japan's attitude toward these things compared to the West. Were they trying to manipulate the tumblr crowd into creating free promotional art all directed towards this one thing? Whatever they did it seems to have been wildly successful.
>wear disguise to fool the sandniggers >most of them see through your disguise anyways It really makes no sense besides obvious pandering/gag material.
Gabriel Hernandez
It was meant to appeal to fujos/otomes, just like everything in BOTW.
Bentley Price
Japan don't have any agenda towards crossdressers, they only do it for humor, and no one gets offended. The gerudo segment crossdressing is just a means to an end. Nothing political about it
Colton Morgan
I remember hearing about a samurai or something that dressed up as a woman to infiltrate a lords court in order to kill him. So, stuff like that happened in real life too
Colton Sullivan
IT WAS A JOKE. And because you said >why did Nintendo actually do this? I can't fucking post links like obnoxious faggot I am.
Jayden Harris
butthurt pedotaku spotted
Xavier Gomez
Why is Sup Forums so obsessed with this
Owen Jenkins
It’s a reference to the fact that Zelda is one of the few game franchises in history with a 70/30 female/male playerbase, and all the girls are actually playing a boy. Now they’re girls playing a boy playing a girl.

Elijah Gomez
i dunno man, all i know is that i wanna fuck him.
Daniel Rodriguez
I think you mean Mulan
Josiah Campbell
What's the password to that door
Chase Carter
dude that's gay
James Rodriguez
its only gay if the balls touch.
Jose Bell
Exactly. They did this with Fist of the North Star.
Tyler Cruz
No, no, it was specifically within a Japanese context, maybe less of a samurai, more of a spy type
Joseph Bennett
So I’ve been in this thread for about 10 minutes and nobody has started dumping twinks yet
Can you fags get it together
Oliver Myers
because Sup Forums is full of faggots who like to pretend they're not at least bi
Sebastian Mitchell

Jacob Nguyen
Hercules crossdessed as an amazon, Achiles was a crossdresser, Thor crossdressed, odds are a bunch of Japanese legends have heros crossdressing. It's a surprisingly common motiff in mythology
Christopher Baker
It's a joke on the fact some people he is Zelda
Cameron Martin
Homer's Odyssey reference
Lucas Powell
not every single thread about link has to be rampant faggotry. go to /y/ or some shit
Zachary Cook
Well in this case he is prettier than Zelda, though that isn't difficult.
Brody Robinson
>political about it >IT WAS A JOKE.
I agree with this, but what about that pedo Zora questline? that shit gave me weird vibes and I love lolis
Jayden Foster
Cross dressing has an enormous presence in Japanese theatre and miyamoto is a 50 year old Japanese man. He’s most definitely taken inspiration from theatre there.
Lucas Young
>He doesn't know about the Secret ◆ Gerudo Club
Caleb Baker
>cross dressing
Link always had to sneak into gerudo camps until approved
They just had a more better idea to sneak
Cameron Martin
It's just an old gag that some people think is funny and it would have been hilarious about twenty or thirty years ago. It's what an old man making a video game would think is hilarious.
Aaron Lopez
It's tradition not to let males into the town. They officially follow that rule but most either don't care or want men to be allowed in town so they don't report him. I thought it added a tiny bit of depth to the Gerudo and their culture.
Dominic Miller
I'm doing a cosplay with my bf and I'm thinking of going as Gerudo outfit Link
What do you guys think? Is it a good idea?
Chase Bailey
By any chance, have you allready posted your tummy here anytime in 2017?
Jason Cook
I would say how stupid you are for considering it, but I haven't left my house for a year so do whatever the fuck you want
David Carter
Because it's really really really hot, because I want to be hot like link and crossdress like that, because I want to have a huge muscular bf with a giant dick that forms a bulge in my belly when it's in my ass, because I want to see his muscular body sweating and thrusting fast and hard, because I want to see that v line that points directly towards heaven on earth for me.
Japanese games are always full of adult humor and topics. Isn't this not even the first time link crossdresses?
Liam Harris

Noah Roberts
I like the game but why are Nintendo fans in general so fucking pervy and weird? All they do is post sex stuff about Link, about Zelda, about Princess Peach, about Daisy...its like, what the fuck?
Alexander Sanders
sauce?
Carter Sanders
It's nor most, only several of them and it makes sense half the time. > Hylian girl can see him fine because she can identify her fellow Hylians unlike Gerudo for who they arr rook same > Barta sees you without a disguise I wonder if she does if you actually go to the hideout in Gerudo outfit I could deal with Buliara seeing through. Only the old hag near Hylia statue detecting you is dumb, but she at least comes with a shitty excuse.
Andrew Price
Are you me? Cute boys with hung boyfriends are so lucky :(
Ryder Brooks
they should've let you in the city without the fucking costume after the 1st visit, it only becomes an annoyance after that. You're the fucking hero of time, savior of the world, but nuh huh can't get in without crossdressing
Connor Young
Are you pic rel faggot? I will kick you in the ribs
Samuel Butler
user, I want you to love me.
Dylan Ward
It was literally just to get past guards, the Gerudo were a proud warrior race and thought that just stating no women allowed would keep men out. Nobody was smart enough to see through the Gerudo Male's disguise and nobody except for Riju and that Old Lady near the Statue could see through it because they weren't smart enough to ask questions.
They do it so it doesn't open the floodgates by setting a precedent. If one voe gets in legally the others now won't stop whining.
Alexander Cruz
>a girl cosplaying as Link why don't you just pick a girl character?
Ian Price
>implying I'm a girl
Brandon Edwards
I wouldn't mind a city of only women if there was actually a logical explanation for 1)where all their fathers are and 2)who they have children with
Jaxon Wood
>on Sup Forums >thinking it's a straight relationship
Dylan Scott
The second question is really explored through the game. See Terry Town quest line et al.
Adrian Gray
But Rhodson wanted to leave. Im curious about the Gerudo women who want to stay
Christian Moore
They did this shit in OoT without resorting to trap-bait.
Carson Sanchez
You're overthinking it. It's supposed to be funny. I think you and everyone bitching about the crossdressing is just insecure about yourselves. Have anything you want to tell us? This is a safe place. We're all nameless, faceless entities here.
Jackson Moore
Seeing as the all-female Gerudo thing was established a while ago. I can imagine the implementation of a female-only city for the Gerudo being pretty reasonable. From there the developers probably asked themselves how they have such a city available to the player in a manner true to the lore. Certainly they could have added in some big main quest where you eventually earn the privelage to walk into the city. But that wouldn't really be in line with BotW's hands off approach. Not to mention a cross-dressing thing for Link would be easier to do and a tongue-in-cheek joke (doubly so since this is a Japanese company).
Henry Walker
Not after she gives up searching for a voe in Gerudo desert (no shit). I think she says that in a dialogue with either disguised or not disguised Link.
Also I guess when a male Gerudo does get born all of the famales lust for him and happily jump into his harem.
Jason Morales
>Have anything you want to tell us? This is a safe place. We're all nameless, faceless entities here. Sure. I love how it feels when I wear girl's clothes and I'm bi so I like guys and want to try laying with a guy while I'm crossdressing. I didn't really like this segment of BotW tho :(
Camden Davis
L O N D O N O N D O N kinda the same honestly, way too fucking hairy to pull it off though
Landon Campbell
try shaving. it sucks but when you rub your smooth legs together for the first time it feels so nice :)
Thomas Jenkins
It's a different situation. You need to travel within Gerudo town several times out in the open. I do think it's dumb you still have to dress up after meeting with Riju. She should've allowed for that rule to be broken for the person who was there to help with Naboris.
Leo Hill
thor married a man and wore a dress for him
snowniggers btfo
Jackson Long
absofuckinglutely disgusting
Alexander Parker
agreed he should have cum without touching himself
Matthew Gray
If you talk to shopkeepers, they say they have their husbands outside of the town, they just commute for work.
James Morris
I would love to, but in the area where I live it would definitely be awkward if someone found out I had smooth legs.
Xavier Howard
Shitposters trying to turn a joke into a political thing for replies.
Blake Turner
just wear pants?
Justin Mitchell
t. BoTW is literally my first Zelda game please help me I'm a fucking retarded soy-infused tranny lover.
Nicholas Martin
i'm a paranoid fucker, that's not enough of a safety precaution for me
Jose Edwards
Did you really want another fucking Gerudo Fortress segment in a Zelda game? We've had like two of them already. Having Link actually do the sensible thing and attempt to blend in with the Gerudo's was probably the best option.
