This makes perfect sense. It fits in with the lore. Every resident of Hyrule expects the hero to be a male. In Wind Waker, as a coming of age ceremony, boys would don the iconic green tunic. Images of the hero usually show a male figure(You could argue gender identity related stuff, but that’s irrelevant. Hero is depicted as a stereotypical Hyrulean boy). Everyone is expecting the hero to be a boy. Legends have foretold it.
I am glad Nintendo is sticking to the lore. They have not compromised lore to please “fans.” Just because the new game is open world does not mean that the story/world they’ve established should be changed completely. They’ve got a story to tell(and show) and you’ve got a choice to take part in the journey it or not. Link is a male hero. Get over it.
I remember I was like 10 when I beat Gold. Then I started bragging at school, saying I caught Tyrannitar and a bunch of legendaries, and even defeated Red. One of my classmates heard me and proposed we do a temporary trade, my Gold for his Crystal, just so he can see how far I'd gotten... We did the trade, but I regret it now because he never re-traded the games and I got stuck with his lame Crystal cartridge with his character only having 5 badges -_- Since then, I've never gone back to GSC T_T

Kids at heart... Meaning adults that enjoy gaming... Meaning people who played classic games as a child... Meaning virtual console.

Re: Video: Watch What Happens When Reggie and Bill Speak Their Minds
tbh, I kinda like seeing these cringe worthy Nintendo skits xD It's so absolutely cheesy and has such bad acting that it's kinda enjoyable.
