Well, let me be the first to say, congratulations on your first doujinshi! Heroine...
Tagging [mind break] since she, well, didn't end up liking that like-like licking and tentacle'ing her into insanity.
What an horrible and unlikely way to end up an adventure, huh.

Did they say Linkle won't be in BOTW at E3?

oh fuck off Briancs159, you are obviously too young to remember when they did make a female protagonist for a Legend of Zelda game, here's a hint, they sucked horribly and sales nearly killed the franchise.

you cant claim Nintendo is sexist when all of a sudden every journalist everywhere is saying shirtless link is hot.

@ Kalezian
Actually, Nintendo never made a Zelda game where you can play as Zelda. The game your thinking of, Zelda's Adventure, wasn't made by Nintendo and is not on any Nintendo platform.

Base +6, Apollo-kun 777 +6, eastxx +6, GravitysLover -6, HelloIExist +5

Kalezian you are retarded. Except for linkle, a character in a non canon game, there are none except the CDi Games and the Spirit tracks, and even spirit tracks barely counts. Both of these games did not fail because of having a female character in them, and both of those games did not almost destroy the franchise by any metric you wish to employ.

and yes, you can claim nintendo is sexist, because they are. You really don't know much about Japanese society. The way they treat heroine as a game term alone is disgusting. Nintendo though, they produced shit like Other M. They don't so much endorse the sexy slut interpretation of the heroine as the fact that they are either never a protagonist, or when they are, they are laughably helpless. And the success of such games has always relied on the american audience to sell well (like the metroid franchise before the other M abomination.) An audience Nintendo of japan barely cares about catering to I might add.

Nintendo is not some big sexist villain in a clandestine country. If anything they have a refreshing change to their sexism that might draw in players.

For women though, it's demeaning. Ignorable to play a fun game, but retardedly insulting. Also, while they can choose to make link a male just because, the justifcation they used is retardedly transparently sexist and intelligence insulting. Simply make the Hero a Heroine, Link's a silent protagonist. He has no major impact on the story other than their role as a hero. He doesn't even get any waifus. There's no reason he couldn't simply be a girl for a game. It's their right to choose and I respect that but I don't respect their half assed excuses that a child could tear down. Link is male because they said so, to pretend anything else is true would be a flimsy lie.

@under18thenitsloli: actually according to the lore thats now been established due to Skyward Sword. Link HAS to be a male and Zelda HAS to be a female. There will always be a Link and always a Zelda. Their destinies are always intertwined along with whomever so happens to be the reincarnation of hatred (normally Ganonondorf however its been others on a few occasions). That being said though the game could follow Zelda instead if you want a female heroine.

@Kalezian, I have been playing Legend of Zelda since the first one and there has never been a game made by Nintendo that had you playing the game as Zelda or as a female (this excludes Hyrule Warriors as they didn't make it and Spirit Tracks you played as Link not Zelda just you sometimes controlled her). The games your thinking of are the cd-i's which none of the current fans really know about except the older ones and even fewer of them played those. They were also not made by Nintendo nor were they endorsed or supported by them either.

Base +6, js22 +6, Thornstromb +6, Britannia991 +6

1. Super Princess Peach was a thing. It was a good game. But everyone who had been squalling for a female-led Mario series game conveniently forgot about it, so it didn't sell well.

2. Other M wasn't even made by Nintendo, and longtime fans hated it because it "chickified" the strong-willed heroine we had grown to love. Samus earned her reputation as a badass female protagonist in the Nintendo-made games. Your argument holds no water.

3. This whole "I need to have a lead character who represents me" thing is bollocks. Right, I as a male human am totally represented by Sonic the Hedgehog, Crash Bandicoot, Shantae the half-genie, et cetera ad nauseam. The "identity" in that respect of the protagonist doesn't matter that much, and you whiners need to get over yourselves.

This comic is kinda crap. Linkle's face is distorted the whole time, the grammar is awful, and there's a clear, unnecessary mysoginistic message at the end. I'm not normally one to give a shit, but when it's shoved in my face like that, it's gotta be pointed out.

Instead of this stupid discourse, how about we talk about the fucking gallery? The grammar's all over the place and should have been left to a translator or something, and the art, specifically the face seems to decline as the comic progresses. The starting concept was strong, at least. Linkle and like like is a good pairing.

What the fuck are you two retards bitching about? Are you actually here complaining about how "terrible" and "sexist" Japan is? Why, because they don't cater to whatever flavor of the month twitter hashtag you've decided to espouse? What a joke. As for Zelda, Link is male because Link is male. That's all there is too it. No need to justify anything. He's always been that way, and if Japan hopefully keeps ignoring your type from the west, he'll stay that way. Nobody has any problem playing the tons of games that have female protagonists, but all of a sudden one of the most iconic video game characters needs to have a gender option? Do you also complain that you struggle to identify with a hedgehog when you play Sonic? The only thing "demeaning and retardedly insulting" here is your logic, or lack thereof.

No ammount of apologies will ever change the fact that -90 is inexcusable prejudice against the god damn truth. you see this shit all the time with the yuri tag too. people down voting the truth. baww poor you, reality doesn't conform to your delusions. Zelkova is a fucking idiot. Link and Zelda don't have to be anything. The only game where they are given any characterization worth mentioning is wind waker and it was minimal at best.

Zelkova => Nah it only say Link and Zelda will be incarned again, not that they will be male or female.

So... We can have a lot of female Link doujin which we can say are canon for fun ! Joy !

Not sure why Farky was downvoted so hard vs scrump being upvoted. They both make the same points about the grammar and the face. And Farky has IMO a valid point, the comment about banning female elves from adventuring does kind of seem bolted on and a bit out of place.

They dont need to be banned, just better trained. Perhaps with a monster that can humiliate and digest their gear, but not physically harm them? Hmmmm....
