Zelda fans have been asking for this for ages, you Tourist.

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'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.
- They became what they sought to destroy

Can you imagine the gamer rage if they made Zelda a girl? They would complain it is too woke.

I think zelda is a pretty cool guy eh kill metroids and doesn't afraid ofa nything

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

Zelda has been a girlboss since OoT.

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
- 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

It’s fucking gross how opportunistic people are to ragebait for cash.

I’d do it too but I’m not plugged into their culture well enough to imitate their complaints

They need to make a zelda game where zelda has some fucking double d's and she's like "oh hello big boy~" to link and her dress is see-through, Grok, Grok wake up, we have work to do process the prompt while I fetch my gooning lube

Grok's woke!

You finally get to play as the character the game series is named after.

Is this DEI?

How is being a monarchist with a man servant not a girlboss

These guys are just bots right?

See, that last comment is precisely why when YouTube suggests shit like this, I don’t go to the comments to tell them how ridiculous they are. I just tap the “don’t recommend channel” button. Engagement just makes the algorithm promote the channel even more.

That also tells the algorithm to promote the channel more. You engaged by pressing the DO NOT LIKE EVER button. It's controversial now. You'll never see it again, but Advertisers are now interested.
Fuck this straight Earth.
