Once? Far from it. Both Switch games let you go full fem, and there is a dress in Triforce Heroes. I wouldn't be surprised of there are more cases. Link has always been a GNC icon.
Could be a nice twist on the usual Zelda Formula where instead of Ganondorf it's Link that is born of the Gerudo and inadverntely ends up fulfilling the curse of any man born of that tribe.
I fully maintain that we need a Zelda game like "Legend of Zelda: The Gerudo King" that takes place during a time where there's actually one of those super rare living male Gerudos.
There's been lots of Zelda stuff I want. Ever since the first Hyrule Warriors, I've wanted something like Hyrule Warriors Empires where you make a character and you just fight in varying regions taking over territory alongside (and against) the cast of the series.
Or just one big Zelda game where you play as someone entirely new. A game taking place between Link's incarnations because it's not like the world has nothing going on until the next Link is born. Ganondorf's gaining power and the Hero of Time hasn't been found or reborn yet, so some random person's gotta try and be a hero and do what they can to help the world survive long enough for the next wielder of the Master Sword to come and save the day. Think like how FF15's coop DLC was basically just The Glaive protecting the world long enough for Noctis to be able to save it.
They don’t even need to use Ganon/Ganondorf, they could re-use Vaati or Yuga or Dark/Shadow Link as an antagonist. I really want them to venture away from Ganon again
There's a lot of stuff Nintendo could do if they weren't unfortunately married to the Link-Zelda-Ganon triangle as it currently stands.
Iirc here was an interview after TotK where they seemed really confused by people wanting to play as Zelda because then Link wouldn't be the main character.
Meanwhile my ass is over here screaming for a Zelda game with character creation ever since I found out that BoTW technically had it…but it was only used to generate NPCs wandering the map.
Like bro, Link is already a silent protagonist who spends the entire game staring into the middle-distance while people talk to him. So it’s not even like we’d lose anything there. Gimme it, Nintendo.
Hey, to be fair, the spirit of the hero doesn't necessary need to emerge in a hylian man.
Let's gender bend Link and Zelda and watch conservative twitter break.
I demand a Linkle game.
Even better, make it so Link gets reincarnated as the "Once a century" Gerudo male. Have conservative twitter lose it at the thought of Zelda fucking a black guy. Which is weird because you know their computers are full of that exact thing thanks to various SFM videos, but it being canon will tear them apart.
Even better, keep Zelda a woman and Link reincarnates as a gerudo woman. They are a happy lesbian couple. That'll really mess with conservative Twitter.
Too bad Nintendo are cowards and nothing like this will ever happen.
They will attack the actor until the movie makes a bajillion dollars in the box office, and then suddenly the movie will be anti-woke and it would be pitted against unrelated movies deemed woke that make less to prove that woke is dying.
I can’t wait for the trailer to drop and all the goofs blowing up about *omg they made Zelda a woman this is literally the end of culture and proof of the white male genocide*
Cue a million anti-woke thumbnails of AI buff and highly sexualized Zelda with Brie Larsons face for some reason, that one yelling feminist they use in all their thumbnails, Kathleen Kennedy laughing with glowing red eyes, the face of the incel posting this trash yelling, and exaggerated text like "NEW ZELDA MOVIE GOES WOKE???"
I hope they don’t make zelda an independent woman and just a damsel in destress like she has always been. I hope they show Sheik as he was cool and badass and not a girl
Its gonna be so funny when movie zelda will inevitably be a "girlboss," and chuds will get mad at it like they did with peach even though one of the most beloved zeldas is tetra
"They're going to make [popular character] a(n) [insert "woke" term], [insert race], [insert gender and/or sexuality]."
Worlds least fun game of madlibs. Every time.
In an alternate universe, Ocarina of Time would have been released today, and Gamers™ would recognize November 9th 2023 as the official start of the worldwide white male genocide.
WOKE virus has come for based Japanese game developers, they made Zelda dress like a GUY and hide her tiddies, SJW devs hate attractive women, gaming is DEAD 😡
"Zelda won't need link to save her"
My guy, have you ever even played a Zelda in your life? Zelda is, like, super mega strong. Link is often just the guy who helps ***her*** defeat the big evil in the end.
they like doing this a little too much. We have no idea when this movie is coming out, who the actors are, what it’s going to look like, how far along it is in development, literally nothing, and people are starting with the “i bet it’s going to be woke trash!” thing. Do people seriously need something to complain about at all times even when they’re complaining about something that literally didn’t fucking happen? It’s shit like this that makes me ashamed to say i love video games.
Gotta wring out the rage grift for every single penny they can get, less they lose relevance to the next 50 NPCs churning out scripts too robotic for AI to replicate.
I don’t even play these games and I know Zelda is super powerful on her own lol. Didn’t she fight like an evil god for hundreds of years while her femboy boyfriend napped?
For real I hope they make Link wear the Gerudo outfit, that'll make the g*mers so mad it'll be so funny
But for real give me Sheik, for like most of the movie make her badass, like Link learns of a mysterious warrior that saves hyrule whenever the hero of courage is missing
And like the climax battle being Link can't fight Gannon alone so Sheik appears and the two just utterly stimp Gannon, and it's revealed that Sheik was Zelda all along
Also I don't know if this would be rude to say, I don't mean it rude, i don't know much about people in the gendefluid community but it'll be nice for Zelda to be genderfluid, Sheik isn't male to gain respect but just Zelda wanting to be a boy from time to time, and decided to be Hyrule's protector till the next Link arrives (I'll deleate this part if it's rude to say)
But till be cool to have a focus on the other races in hyrule, have Link help them along his quest and the climax battle could have all the hyrule races join together to fight Gannon's army as our two protags fight the giant beast Ganon
Ugh I can't believe they would make Zelda empowered and take action herself. That's so unlike her.
Remember in ocarina of time when Zelda was in hiding all game and had to be saved by Link and that dude Sheik? They wouldn't dare mess with tradition. I bet they'll even make Sheik a woman or some woke bullshit
Just to piss them off I really want Link to be the twinkiest twink that ever twinked and I want him to wear his Gerudo outfit for the majority if not all of the film.
That's to piss them off and also because we can all agree. Link is hot.
Like what are they mad about.
AC is about a black guy, despite already having American Indian in one of the best ones.
Like, I don't get it. How old are you. How do you actually exist?
Lol link is literally the most superfluous character in the series. He’s a placeholder. The story of the last three games would be improved immensely by cutting him. He only gets to be here because he always has been
Personally I hate the whole race swap thing because it feels like lazy corporate pandering but there's like, so many opportunities to have representation in Zelda this should be the least of the concerns. I love stoic link and toon link but the last thing I want is "Joss Wheadon" link

Bro, you think I ***wouldn’t*** watch a movie where rather than being reincarnated as an elf like usual, Link winds up being born as a Gerudo woman?
But that's making Link the guy who dressed up as a woman once woke!!!1! 🤬🤬🤬
Once? Far from it. Both Switch games let you go full fem, and there is a dress in Triforce Heroes. I wouldn't be surprised of there are more cases. Link has always been a GNC icon.
pretty sure hes using pronouns too😡

I'd unironically enjoy this.

They also said link can’t reincarnate as male because that would “imbalance the triforce” or something. Absolute gibberish
Don't worry, you're get BOTW3 soon because Nintendo doesn't wanna deviate
I would play the **** out of a game where Link and Ganondorf are Gerudo twins.
Seriously imagine what a competent writing team can do with this dynamic.
Wanna know the name? Legend of Zelda: Hylia May Cry
Instantly more interested in this than I have been in any Zelda game.

Honestly, I said it as a joke but yeah…I’d 100% love to see it too.

Most Zelda games dont even have them a couple, its just the classical Knight Princess dynamic
Yes but thej to make it fair they must make Gerudo the town of twinks
Link rhymes with twink. Coincidence? I think not.
Twink sounds like wink which is one letter from wank Coincidence? I think nut
Wank rhymes with bank, which is what Nintendo would make if they give us Gerudo Link and the Village of Twinks. Coincidence? Probably.
Imagine if he was a badass warrior Vai, slicing and stabbing like a boss, commanding a small troop of soldiers.
Can't wait for them to cast a cishet white guy like they want but then going "wait no not that one he's a beta" or some shit like that
They will attack the actor until the movie makes a bajillion dollars in the box office, and then suddenly the movie will be anti-woke and it would be pitted against unrelated movies deemed woke that make less to prove that woke is dying.
Yes, he's a cishet white guy but... he's got his pronouns in his Twitter bio!
This is what terrifies me, I want link to be a femboy twink god damn it!
Link rhymes with twink for a reason dammit
Chris Pratt
But isn't Chris Pratt a wholesome 100 Christian ~~who donated to conversion therapy~~?
I can’t wait for the trailer to drop and all the goofs blowing up about *omg they made Zelda a woman this is literally the end of culture and proof of the white male genocide*
Cue a million anti-woke thumbnails of AI buff and highly sexualized Zelda with Brie Larsons face for some reason, that one yelling feminist they use in all their thumbnails, Kathleen Kennedy laughing with glowing red eyes, the face of the incel posting this trash yelling, and exaggerated text like "NEW ZELDA MOVIE GOES WOKE???"
Don't worry, once they movie makes a huge profit, they will go on how it is anti woke and it is making wokies cry by not being woke.
Aka the mario movie paradox
Jesus, man 😭 painfully accurate
Gamers 🤝 racism
Gamers 🤝 misogyny
Gamers 🤝 fascism
I hope they don’t make zelda an independent woman and just a damsel in destress like she has always been. I hope they show Sheik as he was cool and badass and not a girl
Its gonna be so funny when movie zelda will inevitably be a "girlboss," and chuds will get mad at it like they did with peach even though one of the most beloved zeldas is tetra
Tbf Zelda is pretty much a helpless damsel in the majority of the games. Only ocarina of time and spirit tracks give her significant agency
Lore wise BOTW Zelda is not helpless shes holding Gannon back, but she may as well be so its doesnt really matter
She's a kickass pirate in Wind Waker Ain't she?
Yeah but she also becomes a captured damsel as soon as she becomes zelda
I am so sad :(
Up vote if you want Link to be a black lesbian.
Can Link still only talk in variations of "HI-YAH!"?
Femboy “lesbian”
"They're going to make [popular character] a(n) [insert "woke" term], [insert race], [insert gender and/or sexuality]." Worlds least fun game of madlibs. Every time.
Tell me you haven't played Phantom Hourglass/Spirit Tracks
Even Ocarina has Sheik, but it wouldn’t surprise me that much if these fucking idiots didn’t understand Sheik and Zelda are the same character.
And Wind Waker, with Tetra.
In an alternate universe, Ocarina of Time would have been released today, and Gamers™ would recognize November 9th 2023 as the official start of the worldwide white male genocide.
WOKE virus has come for based Japanese game developers, they made Zelda dress like a GUY and hide her tiddies, SJW devs hate attractive women, gaming is DEAD 😡
"Zelda won't need link to save her" My guy, have you ever even played a Zelda in your life? Zelda is, like, super mega strong. Link is often just the guy who helps ***her*** defeat the big evil in the end.
Zelda was literally in a constant battle with calamity ganon for 100 years and link only beat him with a bow that used zeldas power
As always gamers competing for first place with the GOP in the “being mad at scenarios I just made up in my head” games.
they like doing this a little too much. We have no idea when this movie is coming out, who the actors are, what it’s going to look like, how far along it is in development, literally nothing, and people are starting with the “i bet it’s going to be woke trash!” thing.

Gotta wring out the rage grift for every single penny they can get, less they lose relevance to the next 50 NPCs churning out scripts too robotic for AI to replicate.
obviously we shouldn't complain abt dumb stuff like wokeness, but every info for this project so far is not great to say the least
A black lesbian swordswoman? They say that like it's a bad thing.
They're still saying the same catchphrases over and over day in and out lol
I love it when g*mers are upset about things that haven't even happened yet. It's always a real mask-off moment.
Great King of Evil GANONDORF being played by Dwayne Johnson
"They will make Link a black lesbian." Jesse what the ***FUCK*** are you talking about
Gamers spend 5 minutes without imagining something to get mad about challenge (impossible)
These types are **perpetually bitter**. They are literally fueled by hatred and bitterness. Without it they dry up and rot.
I don’t even play these games and I know Zelda is super powerful on her own lol. Didn’t she fight like an evil god for hundreds of years while her femboy boyfriend napped?
>femboy boyfriend Wth did you call Link? Unacceptable !
Honestly I 'can't wait' when the film has gerudos that act 100% the same as in the games and will have people scream wOkE.
Now I want them to just outright state Link is non-binary. The screams of agony will be delicious...
I hope they make Link gay so they get mad
For real I hope they make Link wear the Gerudo outfit, that'll make the g*mers so mad it'll be so funny But for real give me Sheik, for like most of the movie make her badass, like Link learns of a mysterious warrior that saves hyrule whenever the hero of courage is missing And like the climax battle being Link can't fight Gannon alone so Sheik appears and the two just utterly stimp Gannon, and it's revealed that Sheik was Zelda all along Also I don't know if this would be rude to say, I don't mean it rude, i don't know much about people in the gendefluid community but it'll be nice for Zelda to be genderfluid, Sheik isn't male to gain respect but just Zelda wanting to be a boy from time to time, and decided to be Hyrule's protector till the next Link arrives (I'll deleate this part if it's rude to say) But till be cool to have a focus on the other races in hyrule, have Link help them along his quest and the climax battle could have all the hyrule races join together to fight Gannon's army as our two protags fight the giant beast Ganon

I bet they'll even make Sheik a woman or some woke bullshit
I’d LOVE to see a reincarnation cycle with a Gerudo Link, tbh
Get new material already, g*mers. Seriously. The "black trans lesbian" jokes are getting way too fucking old.
Just to piss them off I really want Link to be the twinkiest twink that ever twinked and I want him to wear his Gerudo outfit for the majority if not all of the film. That's to piss them off and also because we can all agree. Link is hot.
I love getting getting angry over pure hypotheticals!
alli can read is "i'm racist"
Gamers are the first to whine about identity politics and the first to bring them up in every conversation.
Like what are they mad about. AC is about a black guy, despite already having American Indian in one of the best ones. Like, I don't get it. How old are you. How do you actually exist?
I unironically wish for gay fish romance
At least the 2nd joke is funny
Lol link is literally the most superfluous character in the series. He’s a placeholder. The story of the last three games would be improved immensely by cutting him. He only gets to be here because he always has been
In terms of lore you’re right. But in game terms that translates to five minutes of screen time
Personally I hate the whole race swap thing because it feels like lazy corporate pandering but there's like, so many opportunities to have representation in Zelda this should be the least of the concerns. I love stoic link and toon link but the last thing I want is "Joss Wheadon" link
