I'm just going to leave this here.
1. All this stuff about Link’s “personality” and the "balance of the Triforce" being ruined - that's just what people think could happen, and those sentiments are based entirely off of speculation. Do you honestly think that female Link’s personality couldn’t...
So if that wasn't it at all then why even bring up people who don't want to play as a character other than their own gender? The biggest targets of your own statement were people so against fem Link - like you (after all you dd say that statement wasn't directed at me). If you don't mind playing...
I don't know but it sounds like you just called all the guys who hate a M/F option in LoZ more sexist than...the rest of the people (the girls) on this thread that hate an M/F option?
I say that because I'm pretty sure all the guys who hate fem Link on here could never stand to play as her...
I think I said this before, but in the case of love interests, there are several creative solutions to explore. In SS (and other romantically charged LoZ titles), flip Zelda's gender. Or God forbid, just leave the two characters as girls and see what happens. It honestly depends on what you...
Okay! I love the LoZ franchise, and I'll play my favorites regardless of Link's canon gender. So when I say BoW featuring a M/F option would have been a good addition, I quite literally meant addition, considering the sheer amount of new features and mechanics they have already put in this game...
The fact that female Link is such a taboo and apparently "toxic" idea really highlights peoples' inability to keep an open mind here on this thread. Even if female Link wouldn't make you relate to the character more, you don't know how someone else feels. It's why game developers make the M/F...
First off, in a fantasy game where you can literally run around setting fires to whole forests and cook by staring at a pot, the one addition to BotW that is the most outlandish and inflammatory is an option that would be more inclusive to female players? And speaking of customization, you can...
The interesting thing about your point is the fact that Lara Croft is a character in Tomb Raider. You cannot name her; she's like Mario, or Samus. Link was nameable (keyword being "was" because I don't know if that's the case anymore in BotW) because he was meant to be an avatar, so why must he...
If that's the case, then that's unfortunate, especially since it's a change that has happened to other franchises with minimal impact on story or game play. It certainly wouldn't have effected BoW either, save for finally giving players the chance to roam Hyrule and kick major butt -- as a girl.
I understand that it may not be a poor business decision; that wasn't the point I was trying to make. It's about having options made available to players, feeling a "link" to the character, which is not a difficult thing to do, considering all of the games that have already made M/F selection...
Why would having the option to play as female Link ruin the overall game experience? Why does expanding options piss so many people off? Male Link would be no less invalidated by a female one -- just more inviting and inclusive to wider audiences. Yes, he is an iconic character, but if he is to...
