I thought as you did, but I'm loving how vibrant and scrappy this new Link is looking.
Wonder if he ages...

I'm so over people bitching about Link not being some butch manly man.
No it's not.
In fact, considering that his quest in previous games is saving Zelda solidifies it even more. It's part of the "hero on a quest to save a princess/maiden" formula.
Looks great. I hope the actual game looks this good.
It's probably significant that they showcased a bow instead of a sword. I hope it's her main item
Says the guy with a little anime girl avatar.
Anime = no sale for me too.
I can't wait to see what Link's green tunic looks like in this. Also for a world like this we need a weather and day/night system. Hopefully the weather system kinda changes the colors of the world depending on what it's doing. Finally, I'm worried it might share the same problems as ALBW, but we'll just have to wait and see.

We got confirmation that this was all in-engine and not CGI which is great news. Obviously these were "cinematic" camera angles and pre-scripted scene, but it bodes VERY well.
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.
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.)
so it being some dated chauvinistic chivalry fantasy is more important to you than mixing things up a little
ok
like link couldnt save the princess if she was a girl, or couldnt be in love with zelda if she was a girl
i literally am weeping for you irl, how does one cope?
Indeed, and a compelling reason to make Link relatable to more than just us dudes.
and so the hero can't be a woman?
Jesus those animations... reminds me of the demon boar in Mononoke, at the start of the movie.
It's so obviously a chick.
1 - They hid her face the entire time until the last second.
2 - She has a god damn ponytail
3 - Very feminine Face, and body
4 - The camera angles they used purposely protecting showing clear looks at her face
5 - SHE LOOKS LIKE A GOD DAMN GIRL hype
My friend raised an interesting point to me about Link's dominant hand, basically the bow action shown would mean Link is right-handed in this game.

Why don't we do the same for Mario, Bowser, Master Chief, Nathan Drake, James Bond, Laura Croft, and any other character? Might as well make everyone relatable to everyone, right?
Link's a guy. He wears green clothes. He has a sword. These are all character traits that make Link, Link.
I think it's more than acceptable for a company to want to appeal to a larger demographic, but I don't think changing an established character is the right way to do so. In my opinion, creating a new character and a new IP based around that character would be significantly more meaningful than changing a character that's been a guy for the past 28 years.
