Some clarification about the "hanging back" point - the Blue Shell doesn't lock onto you as soon as it's launched, only after a certain point (ie, when it's close enough that you can actually hear it)
My tip for this is to always pay attention to the minimap - a Blue Shell icon will appear once it's launched. When you see it, hang back and let the person behind you overtake. Do this before the shell gets too close, and they will be the one to get hit.
@Trikeboy Not at all, I legit want to get the soundtrack, it's one of my faves. Would be cool if Nintendo did give us an official way to purchase it, though.
@Trikeboy Since you know so much about soundtrack CDs, I'm hoping you can help me out. I would really like to buy the official Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze soundtrack, but no matter where I look, I can't seem to find it anywhere available for purchase. Do know where I can find it, or at least point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.
This is an idea I've always been interested in, and would be totally open to it if it was featured in the Wii U game.
Of course, the common argument against this is that Link is an established character who has always been male. But here's the thing - Link in each game is a totally different character. Look at the Links from A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. Sure, they have their similarities, but each one is its own character with their own background and their own unique traits. The one sure thing they have in common is they share the spirit of the legendary hero - they are each a reincarnation of that hero. But where does it say that every incarnation has to be a guy?
Of course, if you're that much of a traditionalist, as Tom says, you can just select the male option and name him Link. But I am all for being able to play as a female in the next game.
