Support NeoGAF

[Acquiescence]

I don't get it.

 

[mentallyinept]

Welp.

I guess that's that, pack it in everyone.

 

[PtM]

I can get behind this.

I can also get behind female Link.

We had the best Link already though:

GTFO, Spider Link.

 

[Ishida]

Evilore must be having one hell of a party right now.

 

[Weiss]

I still don't get why this is such a big deal.

It's because you aren't paying attention.

 

[WarpGuN]

 

[li bur]

Ughh who's that? Like pro cosplayer or something? The girl on the left is truly stunning :'(

 

[Ezalc]

Ok

 

[Htown]

I don't understand why these game companies are so fucking bad at PR when it comes to this stuff.

 

[Major B.S.]

My childhood memories just got very different...

 

[Majmun]

I'm not really known with Zelda lore. But can the hero be a girl? Or only a boy?

And If Link can be a girl, can Zelda be a boy? And Ganondorf be a woman?

 

[kadotsu]

So any androgynous male needs to be a girl right. Way to support the gender binary paradigm.

This also is a huge change. Nintendo would need to run at least one regex to change all the games. And we all know regex inclusion is the best inclusion.

 

[Mariolee]

I wonder if there is any mod brave enough to try to lock a thread made by evilore himself

Surely a path that leads straight to death's doorstep.

 

[NastyBook]

You should be punished severely for this.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

im ok with this

 

[-Horizon-]

 

[CO_Andy]

I'll follow your decree Evilore if you cosplay as Zelda

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

we've never seen link's dong so we can't say for sure that he's male right?

 

[HardRojo]

What are you talking about? Zelda has always been the boy and Link the girl.

 

[ponpo]

Evilore must be having one hell of a party right now.

 

[Bright-Light]

Has Evilore been hanging around with that "I like mobile games so Shu is Jesus" guy?
Drunk? Crazy? Prophetic? (I think he knows something).

 

[DXLelouch153]

i mean we willed ff7remake,tlg,and shenmue 3 into being
if we did that we can do anything
quick someone make a female link support group

 

[shaowebb]

Inb4lock--wait...

I wonder if there is any mod brave enough to try to lock a thread made by evilore himself

automatic de modding and juniored forever

Maybe its a test? You know...to see if the other mods still hold each other to the same standards as the regular posters here. Maybe he wants to see it locked.

 

[Final Verdict]

pahahahah!

Agreed!

 

[akidnamededdy]

Dunno who this "we" is.

Spoiler

I mean I know who OP is but oh well.

Character is stated as a "blank slate" that the player can project themselves onto. So shy not make him the gender of the player as well?

i see statements like this and all it says to me is that you think women are incapable of projecting onto/identifying with male characters.

 

[HunteronX]

EviLore be trolling. This thread got weird fast...

 

[Peltz]

All of them, from her landmark NES game onward. Thanks for understanding, Nintendo.

Well excuuuuuuuuuse me.

 

[Sylverstone14]

I am sorry but that is very disturbing image

What the fuck is this shit

Because this thread wasn't weird enough as it is, we had to add creepy as well.

Hey, I considered it SFW, since "female Link" on Google Images gets REAL saucy. I'd also like to not account suicide, kthx.

 

[oti]

What about female Ganondorf?

 

[mcz117chief]

We had the best Link already though:

This always baffled me. How can a Japanese company, of all companies, make such a bad sword stance. This is a classic how Holywood rips of Japan and then Japan rips off Holywood. There is no such stance and my master would always beat anyone who had arms stretched to the sides like that.

 

[Regginator]

Imagine how quick this thread would get locked if it was made by one of us pathetic commoners. The Flash wouldn't have shit on ModBot.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

I support this. This is good.

 

[doctorblurg]

Fine with me I accept this new future

 

[Kriken]

Took me a second, lol

 

[Phocks]

Simply epic.

 

[SteveTR]

This is fine. I'm fine with this.

 

[Ultimate_Trainer]

I'm definitely on board with this, but did we need a thread for this?

 

[RK128]

Welp, there you have it; NeoGaf itself believes Link is a girl, so roll with it Nintendo .

On a more serous note, I wouldn't mind it honestly; it would be a great way to make the newer games in the series and offering male/female character options at the start of the game would be a very welcoming idea to all gamers .

Very few games in the series have Link have romantic relationships with people (the only ones I think do that are OoT, Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword), so the idea isn't crazy to begin with.

With the Wii U game being open-world, it would be nice as games like Fallout 4, the Elder Scrolls games, and others offer the option, so why not you Nintendo?

 

[clockpunk]

*blink* *blink*

0_o

I am certain that officially counts as a sin.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Not at all, but is it negative to have options?

 

[Sylverstone14]

More female Links for the goddesses!

 

[Dictator93]

oh god oh god oh god

 

[Peltz]

I wonder if there is any mod brave enough to try to lock a thread made by evilore himself

Maybe not a mod. Just a bot.

 

[Beartruck]

What if Zelda was a girl?

 

[Robotguy]

I'm not really known with Zelda lore. But can the hero be a girl? Or only a boy?

And If Link can be a girl, can Zelda be a boy? And Ganondorf be a woman?

To my knowledge there is nothing that requires the hero of time or the other tri-force piece holder to be any particular gender. So, female-link, etc. should be able to exist within the Zelda universe.

 

[RecursiveFault]

I'm not rally known with Zelda lore. But can the hero be a girl? Or only a boy?

And If Link can be a girl, can Zelda be a boy? And Ganondorf be a woman?

There are a lot of elements that are constant throughout the series, while a vast majority change as well. One of the few constant elements is Link/Zelda/and to a lesser degree Ganon.

The game changes a lot between each installment and has done interesting remixes of characters like Zelda and Ganon, changing their characterization and designs (though not their genders).

Some people think the genders being constant means something, some don't, it's an opinion.

Or it was until this thread happened.

 

[berval]

I can get behind this.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Can Ganondorf also be a girl?

 

[Htown]

"In this game you play as multiple identical Links, like in Four Swords. We do have another game you might like, though. Have you checked out that Hyrule Warriors?"

Now you don't sound like a backwards moron and you haven't thrown any of your games under the bus.

How hard is that?

 

[-Horizon-]

So is this the new Zelda fan art thread?

 

[NoFaceNico]

Coincidence?!??!! I THINK NOT!!!!
