So why can't link be a girl? I think it would be interesting.

>>257685434
How would changing Link's gender change anything about how the games play?

>>257685434
Haha, fuck off

You see this tthread /v/? Get used to it.

>>257685548

That's the thing. It wouldn't. Why can't link be a girl?

>>257685434
Because then she would be a gross lesbian for loving Zelda.

I would hit that shit for days. I'm talking about young boy link.

>>257685434
>I think it would be interesting

How would changing his sex be interesting? Just admit you want female Link porn.

>>257685434
There would be no difference


Link would do what Link does, solve puzzles, traverse dungeons, and beat the bad guy, basically a skin swap

I wouldn't mind it, but it wouldn't make sense for Link to be a girl all of a sudden

>>257685434
Who gives a fuck? why can't Zelda be a feminine boy instead?

>>257685695
Zelda doesn't feel anything for Link. He's nothing but a tool to her.

>>257685689
I don't care one way or the other, just asking how it would, and I quote, "breath a bit of life into the crusty old series"

Link is such a bland and boring character that it wouldn't matter what what gender he was. People just get emotional because "MUH SJW, MUH FEMINIST BOOGYMAN"

I want Link to be a girl in the next game just to see everyone cry about it.

>>257685689
Because the story is adjusted to it and changing it randomly to fit what some random person wants is pure stupidity, as the character has already been established.

Why does it have to be Link?

Why take a popular, established franchise and demand to be changed for no real reason. Instead of leeching off another's success for little more than socio-political cred, why not add something new?

Because there is no real reason for Link to be a girl except "just because"

If people want some idea of diversifying main characters in the video game industry, they need to stop trying to shoe-horn gender and race changes to already existing characters. Those characters are already their own thing, and changing them doesn't add anything to the character and only alienates the people that identified with those characters in the first place.

If you want to make a Zelda game with a female protagonist, have one that follows Zelda or Impa. You don't need to shoe horn Link into a Female Roll.

>>257686617
OK, but what does that have to do with "breathing a bit of life" into the game?

Since the topic has pretty much been shot down already, is there any franchise that would be different at all with it's typically male character switched with a female one?

Because those characters would be interesting and maybe stray from the normal formulaic characters that come with each new zelda game.

Because it would be fucking pointless and stupid. Do you want Mario to be female as well? Would that change anything?

Link has no personality

him being a girl wouldn't change a thing

What if Gordon Freeman was a girl?

Regardless of your opinion of them, the ones where you play as Zelda played exactly like Link would. I'd like a game where you actually play as Zelda, doing Zelda things with Zelda's abilities and traits.

>>257687038

But I keep telling you... and I will tell you again, so read carefully. Changing the gender would not change the game play (this means the game will not play differently, please understand this). However, changing links gender may make player view the game differently without changing much else. I'm not saying this is a good or bad thing, that it changes the game play. I am simply stating that it may be interesting for better or worse.

Please note, one more time that the game play will not change.

I hope I have made that point clear now.

Just making it a choice would be fine.

Link's just a blank slate anyways.

I don't care whether or not they change it, what I'm questioning is why anyone claims it will make the game somehow more fresh and new.

Link is a character, an entity. People recognize him as the face of the Zelda franchise, changing him would be dumb and pointless.

Also the Japanese games refer to him as the Hero, with male identifiers. Link is always the reincarnation of the Hero, except in the case of Wind Waker.

>>257687481
Easy answer to "why make the character black" is the whole spiel of the various nonwhite ethnicities don't get a whole bunch of roles as leads and there's plenty of shows where they're rare background characters. That whole example of the young black girls not wanting black dolls because they only thought of white girl dolls as pretty.

It's been good for deaf people to see deaf characters, it's been good for black people to see positive black characters, etc etc.

Of course, this is Link, and his pointy eared blonde dorkboy appearance is set in stone so changing it would come across as nothing but a marketing ploy that Nintendo wouldn't spring for.

Zelda game with a non-link protagonist that was a chick? I'd be down for it, personally, don't know about you guys.

Lore-wise there is no real reason Link couldn't be a girl. Design-wise there is no good reason for Link TO be a girl, and making that change without good reason is destructive, compulsory crap.

>>257685434
I'd be fine with every main character being female

The problem is those games don't sell well.

Look what happened when they took Samus out of the suit and started forcing all the female maternal bullshit down everyone's throats.

Unless she's just some stripper (Lollipop Chainsaw, Bayonetta) no one will buy the games. And that's hardly more "feminist" than just having the character be male.

>>257687693
Women are naturally a lot weaker than men though so it just isn't as believable as Heracles being a man.

>>257687923
What about a non-Link protagonist that was a fat, bald, transgender black woman?

>>257685689

>It wouldn't

>>257688097

Why can't Samus be a man?

It would definitely breath some fresh air into Metroid and probably make a better main character than Other M

Are you saying that it would be a bad thing for link to be a girl?

>>257688084

tingle? I would play a tingle game

>>257687836
But that has nothing to do with the game.

>>257687836
How? Link has no character, no personality, no lines of dialogue. He's a blank slate for the character to self-insert as. A 'Link" to the player so to speak. It would change nothing about the game other than the fact that Link would have tits this time.

exactly. why make link into a girl when ZELDA is also a character?

>>257688821

Link is a character. This is a fact. He has no 'personality'. He does, however, have a gender. Would it not be interesting to change it?

Let's throw away the rights and wrongs of this and ask the simple question.
Would it be 'interesting' to change Link's gender?

>>257688803

A never said that. Samus was in her (very masculine looking) suit for most games so her being a woman had no bearing on anything.

Then when she leaves the suit suddenly she's wearing a skin tight outfit and crying. It's a significant contrast with the strong silent type she used to be when she could still ostensibly be seen as male by any passive observer who didn't know any better.

My only concern- Suppose they did make Link a girl for one game.
Would she be rescuing the Prince or Princess?

Gameplay

Story and characters

Art

Each of these can be changed without directly affecting the other while still effecting how the game is perceived.

Except Link, who is pretty much an automaton, created again and again by fate/gods/whatever to set things straight. It would change nothing but give you a feminin ass to stare at all day.

>>257690064

Did you not see that dog? He was running all over the walls.

Zelda is all about innovation, I'm sure they'd be able to make a dog protagonist feel good to play as. And besides, it's magic, they could give him telekinesis or something to get around the dexterity problem.

>>257690775

why not have dog Link become the sword?
You are the 700 years old spirit of a demon warrior from the 12th circle of hell, a land called Anzansaruruske where you battled valiantly for your lord every day. But one day your demon lord got bored of you and for shits and giggles tossed you into the human world where you took possession of the nearest body you could find, which turned out to be a dog.
But since you still ahve parts of your demon power left, you can transform your doggie body into a 6 ft tall greatsword that can suck out the souls of the people it slays.

Gameplay is practically unchanged.

Does that necessarily mean that you have to dislike it? I mean, I've always thought that Okami was a far better Zelda style game than any of the 3d Zeldas themselves. It was at least in part because the game was built off that mechanic which was utterly unique and creative at the time.

Depends how you like to play games, I guess.

Some people like to get enveloped in the world and lore of games. Not to distract from the meat of the game, of course, but things like talking to NPCs or scanning stuff in Metroid Prime. I love doing that kind of thing, and it ruins the game when that stuff gets shat on.

Because women aren't just men with breasts, shitlord.

The only reason people defend scanning in Prime is because it distracted from how fucking terrible Prime was by Metroid standards. You can go and get wrapped up in whatever you want, but in the end the only thing that matters is the goddamn gameplay, and if the changes you're proposing don't do anything to help or hinder it, then there is literally no reason to implement them one way or the other.

I don't want to. You chop yours off.

Because its fanbase consists for the most part of boys who use it as a self insert in adventures they will never live, or grown men who grew up doing exactly that.

Turn Link into a girl, and you will lose part of that fanbase, and not attract a significant new fanbase.

Done.

>It would change how certain characters act towards Link
Bullshit. Characters in LoZ don't give a shit about gender. The hell are you getting this crap from?

Mind you, I'm still of the opinion that a female Link is pointless, because I'd rather play as Zelda.
