Why exactly was Linkle such big news again? I remember her announcement

who would've thunk it

People thought she was a female Link. Too bad for them, she's just a female equivalent, a la Pokemon MCs, and not actually a female Link.

>>385154834
What was her deal anyway? I refused to buy the game twice just to play her so I don't know her story.

>>385154834
i'd like to see linkle in a main game

Some random chick who mistakenly thought she was the legendary hero of Hyrule reborn. Apparently, it takes more than being blond, having funny ears, yelling a lot, and breaking pots for money.

She's a random hick who thinks she's special since she has a compass or something. She's literally a nobody and gets treated as such in that game.

That's rough

It was an attempt at justifying all the 'female Link is real" stories that were floating around at the time.

There was that rumor of female Link being an option in Breath of the Wild. People here across the Internet, including on this board, went absolutely apeshit until Aonuma himself de-confirmed it himself.

She wasn't a Link replacement and was notably inferior to Link and didn't fit the "grrls are just as good as guys" narrative so they ignored it.

Wow, that literally sounds like the exact opposite of what all of those news publications that reported on Linkle thought her inclusion in the game was going to be.

Because idiots thought that it meant she was going to be a playable character in Breath of the Wild.

Yes, it's stupid, but they've made bigger leaps before.

She hears monsters are attacking Hyrule, and due to growing up with hero stories like Grandma told, she thinks that's her chance to shine.

She goes on a little adventure and basically goes to spots before or after the main quest went there. By the end of it, she finally arrives at Hyrule Castle where the soldiers are still recovering from the defeat of Ganon (while Zelda and Link are away to reseal the Master Sword). So she helps protect the troops and is a real hero, just like Grandma said she was.

Don't forget she's literally retarded and goes the wrong way every time.

So not only was it not the victory for equality people thought it was, but it was actually sexist as hell, saying "only a dude can be the hero"? That's hilarious.
