@PikaPhantom That's Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxe on PC (and Ouya !). I used to play it a lot years ago and that's the first game I install on my Steam Deck.
@Locke159 Well, I never deny there's some romances in Zelda, between Link and Zelda or some other female protagonists. In Skyward Sword and Link's Awakening this is obvious, a bit discutable in some other games (OoT, ST..), and pratically unexistant for the rest.
The romance in Zelda serie isn't a constant, and even if Zelda Wii U get some too, Nintendo totally could include one heterosexual romance or more for female Link/Linkle too (and maybe homosexual romance since Nintendo is getting inclusive). Bioware do it right, why not Nintendo?
@smashbrolink Well, the problem wasn't about the fact I was wrong or not, but how you said it (the caps lock use is a kind of authority I don't accept in an online discussion).
Anyway, I never said I want Linkle to replace male Link in the next Zelda games. I like her, but the problem would stay, and the gender swap option is definitely the best thing Nintendo could do about Link (and that's pretty much why I think she's just a female Link).
If some people prefer the old Link, it's nice. If my niece wish to play a girl, this option would be cool for her.
@smashbrolink Wow.
What's your problem? I'm a huge fan of Zelda since I've got the age to play a video game, and I'll get 29 in two months.
So what, I'm not a true fan?
It's because I'm this kind of fan that I want "Link" to not stay the "old" Link you love but to become something better, greater, and more inclusive than never.
Anyway, there's no reason to be so aggressive. I'm just here to exprime my point of view about this news, and you're crying at me like a jerk.
Well, since I love to play girls in video games, and since The Legend of Zelda is one of my favorite franchise, I'm hyped for Linkle. Seriously, I waited this announcement since the E3 2014.
Now, what about her design? is she canon? Is she "Link"?
I don't like her current design very much, but it's ok because it's only the HW art direction.
About her canonicity, I really don't think Nintendo would let her appear, even for a spin-off if they were closed in their idea of "the savior of Hyrule is a male".
Now, is she Link or a separate character? She's definitively Link. More than a name, Link is a title, the title of the player's character, the one who will save Hyrule. There's no difference if it's a boy, a girl, or a turtle, if this one is able to save Hyrule.
If Linkle is a separate character, it would mean that "male Link" still exist and still would be the actual hero of Hyrule, but, there's no sense to name her "LINKle" in this case.
Anyway, I love this character and how the Zelda community is hyped for her. Let's go to The Legend of Zelda for Wii U now! <3
