    They don't need to make Link a lady, just make a Zelda game.

    Err...A Zelda Zelda game.
    Think of the sweet, delicious tears of rage it would produce, though.

    I don't understand. What's wrong with this?

    Wait, because of a tunic and sideburns?

    So, like Link?

    Link has always been effeminate in most of his designs. This is nothing new. He has pretty girl eyes, like always.

    I am not getting my hopes up on anything crazy, but announcing new titles through E3 on your own streams & at E3 is a good way to keep pulling focus the entire event.

    I found a 30% off sale on the WiiU eshop and 3DS shop. Nothing really spectacular.

    Edit: Wait, theres some really new games on the 3DS one.

    Now that we know that X is part of the Xenoblade canon, does that mean that at the end of the first trailer that really was Shulk? I hope so!

    Also, I so was hoping they would expand the Captain Toad levels into its own game, very glad they did.

    I've already been saying this elsewhere but Link's design in the Wii U game is based on his artwork from the Link's Awakening era of games, folks. He had the long sideburns and everything then.

    I'm more referencing the possible extra chest area (which as I said is probably just a billowing shirt)

    While I highly doubt the new Link is a girl, simply because I don't think Nintendo has the balls for something so amazing, I do have to say he is rocking those eyelashes.

    I'd probably hit on him.

    I will give Nintendo a small bit of credit for Hyrule Warriors having like three playable female characters and (so far) just Link as the sole male.

    Although the game still has Evil Boob Lady the antagonistic, at least Impa and Zelda have cool designs.

    I don't think there's anything wrong with either option.

    I think it would actually be neater to have Link be a lady than Zelda be the main character, because otherwise it would sound like the message is fine, a woman can be the main character, but she can't be THE hero of the series.

    Which is also why I think certain people would cry significantly more about Link being female than Zelda having the spotlight for a game.

    BUT ANYWAY how about that Majora's Mask remake that is definitely getting announced any day now?

    I'd settle for Link being male but also SUPER feminine with a pink tunic and a whole minigame centered around caring for Epona.

    Just to see people flip their lids but also to satisfy my desire to have a good version of Barbie Horse Adventures.

    You don't get how the internet works, do you.

    You can bet your ass that a Zelda game would definitely bring a lot of grousing and goosery. And I would laugh at every second of it.

    Personally, I would totally be up for a game with a different protagonist that therefore played differently, and Aonuma wants to push around with the Zelda formula, so I really think it could be done.

    This reminds me of that time I actually saw a very interesting idea for a Zelda game (as in Zelda Zelda, with you playing as her, not... oh you know what I mean) by a dude in 4chan, once. It focused a lot on movement puzzles and riddles, and evasive combat with counters and magic since Triforce of Wisdom and stuff, with Zelda's basic item being a magic royal cape that provided partial flight (since the guy liked the whole connection with birds in SS for the royal family). I really liked the idea of "Legend of Zelda from another point of view".

    People shit all over the 13-year old actress who played Rue in the Hunger Games movie because she was black. Despite the fact that Rue is a black character in the books. And wasn't responsible for casting the role. Or anything else that even remotely justified the outcry.

    So yeah people will shit over anything and everything no matter how racist, sexist, or just flat out stupid it is.

    This was part of the last WiiU update that gave us the quickstart. When you first turned on your WiiU after the update, they asked if you wanted to leave it on (so they weren't trying to hide it.) You can turn it off somewhere in settings.

    I guess my puzzlement stems from when I was first exposed to Zelda games, and never figured out why I'm playing this "Link" character. To me it always felt like naming SMB "Peach Chronicles" and you always play as this guy Mario.

    Anyway, back to E3. How about those game reveals huh.

    Man, I'm pretty sure EA just doesn't give a fuck anymore. They've had such a shitty rep for so long and yet still make ridiculous amounts of money. I'm convinced they realize they can pretty much do whatever the hell they want and that no amount of backlash will ever put a dent in their revenue.

    They could probably shit right on someone's breakfast, charge $60 for it, and still make a mint.
