Exactly, I have absolutely no problem whatsoever to play as Zelda or another girl. In a way I'd even prefer that I think, it'll feel fresh at the very least. But don't go changing established characters too much, and judging by how Link looks in this piece, they've slightly overdone it IMO.
Unless this turns out to be his sister or something, hence the similarity to Link, and there's a (optional) 2 player co-op. Or something along those lines, I'm just thinking out loud.
You're quite quick to jump on a post and attack.
I'm just saying that Link so far has been a boy and I want him to stay that way.
Things can be mixed up in any way, I just don't want to see Link being mixed up.
Make new characters, just don't change the existing ones.
I don't know, Link has always very much looked like a boy but here it's pushing more into feminine territory than usual.
I think this all adds up to this being Zelda, and not Link. I think the cloak she wears, which has the hylian coat of arms on it, is supposed to be the clue. And no sword in sight, Link always gets a sword, before even getting a quest. Aonuma mentions they were using The Legend of Zelda as inspiration, and the title card said the Legend of Zelda. Have we ever gotten a reveal without a subtitle that wasn't a tech demo?
I want to cut ALL the grass.
So a female can't save a princess? It's saving Zelda, not having babies with her. Join us in the 21st century.
and so the hero can't be a woman?
so this Link is a girl?
strike ha downYet in this reveal he wasn't wearing green, didn't have a sword, and we aren't sure if he's a guy.

If you marry this to Brave, it seems even more relevant.
People are upset about the graphics?! It looks amazing!
But I'm hesitant. I don't think the final product will look that good. Seems too good to be true.
no.I am sick of people wanting link to be a girl, go fap at something else.

because our sex and gender is a huge part of who we are as people.
The lack of a real trailer is frustrating, but I hope they can make the open world world work and have the animations look as fluid and smooth as that glimpse did. Zelda games have always been a bit stiff.
I agree. I wouldn't even care if we played as as girl, just don't make it Link then.
I like my characters to be characters. I like how each Link is similar, each Impa, each Ganon, etc.
So yeah, I would be annoyed if the next Ganon was blond and pale and short and fat.
I'd be annoyed if the next Zelda was a boy and a lazy slob or something and so on.
They're "reincarnations" with some differences but they're essentially the same character. (i.e. Link starting out the game as lazy, sleeping in, slacking but springing into action and determination when called upon.)
It's the eyelashes combined with the surprisingly delicate features. Past "adult" Link incarnations (OoT, TP, SS) have always been somewhat stocky and muscular (relatively lacking in height, somewhat broad torso, with short legs thick enough to dropkick Gorons). Still, male or female, if the game looks promising enough, I might just get a Wii U.
Yet in this reveal he wasn't wearing green, didn't have a sword, and we aren't sure if he's a guy.
What if you don't actually need the sword? The next step to open the game up would be to allow you to skip the sword entirely and just go with the bow.
I can see myself easily spending a ridiculous amount of time on this game!
The character there doesn't look any more effeminate than Link ever has before, I seriously don't know where you people are coming from...looks like Link to me.
Also.....I'd LOVE for it to be Zelda as the main protagonist.
LOVE.
