Next thing you know they’ll have Zelda crossdress as some kind of woke ninja and fight Ganondorf herself

Wasn’t there also a game when you played as female Link and i don’t remember Nintendo building being torched and their personnel lynched over that?

BOTW has mandatory main story crossdressing Link

There’s also a BOTW mod to let you play the whole game as female Link

Hyrule Warriors, and her name is Linkle. It’s a musou/Dynasty Warriors spin-off

I have like 200 hours in that game and probably wouldn’t be able to finish it with 200 more. Such a mindlessly fun game. It’s peak.

Oh, is that where the Linkle in the BOTW Linkle mod came from? I don’t play Warriors games.

I’ve wanted a Sheik spinoff where you do cool ninja stuff during the 7 years Link was sealed in the sacred realm in OoT for ages

For at least a little while I think it was “canon” that her body changed when she turned in to shiek, and then nintendo re-gonned it because they’re cowards.

Playable Zelda has been in my top list of desires for the Zelda series since I was a kid, this is nonsense drivel.

Same. Although it turned into make Link female over time and then don’t gender Link in game and keep the character andro. I stand by that but there’s still room for a fame starring Zelda and this looks like it’s gonna be pretty damn fun as well

Right? And this one really doesn’t look like what I wanted. It looks like some kind of pokemon thing rather than a legend of zelda game.

It’s the toy looking aesthetic they used in the Link’s Awakening remake a few years ago. It worked for me with that game, but the orchestrated arrangements of songs I used to hear so much on my brick Gameboy might have helped in selling it.

Half agree there, I wanted a full zelda game, but I’m spinoff pilled and think a lot of the best ideas Nintendo actually implements are in spinoffs these days, mainline games are generally too “safe” even if they are polished

It reminds me of how they handled Princess Peach Showtime. The game was clearly aimed at children, which is good of course, but it felt like it could have been more complex. It’s just that they will only make one game and then revisit her only in that format.

I’d have loved to see a Zelda- focused game that had the ambition of Breath of the Wild.

Just feels like a concession to give detractors an example so the woke would stop complaining.

Shoving the criticism of “woke” down everyone’s throats more than actual the “woke” stuff that you claim is being crammed down everyone’s throats

I was thinking about it today but chuds who teeth gnash over “woke” are the “think of the children” moms of the 90’s.

Yeah, like the plot always depends on Zelda’s magic, so while she’s not the playable hero and needs Link’s help damzel in distress doesn’t seem accurate. I mean in TOTK

spoiler

Zelda literally turned into a giant light dragon and travelled back in time to restore the master sword lol.

She’s a cool ninja and leader of the Sages in OoT
She’s a cool pirate and helps fights Ganondorf with Link in WW
She is basically organizing a covert resistance from her castle in Twilight Princess and also helps fight Ganondorf.
In Skyward Sword she holds a magical seal in place for a thousand years.

Since the first game. She was the one that hid the Triforce pieces in all of the dungeons behind all the locked doors and monsters and puzzles that kick Link’s ass, then got caught by Ganon, but only after sending Impa to get some help

Heartbreaking, the series where you play as magical twink that fights pigs has gone woke.
