Link As a Girl?

[wedge47]

I'm not sure that this has ever been specified anywhere (so correct me if I'm wrong), but could the "legendary hero" ever be a girl?

How about a new Zelda game, where Link's character is a female? What kind of new items could they make? Where on the timeline(s) could it fit?

 

[Dragoncat]

Would be awesome, I'm all for girl power. I don't think the items would have to change. Items are pretty much non gender specific...

 

[Lucas]

Technically it's possible. All the Link's possess the Spirit of the Hero, and there isnt any reason why a female can't possess that same spirit. Even so though I don't think it's that good of an idea. I think Nintendo should stick with Link being a man.

 

[Dragoncat]

Yeah it would be weird now that I think about it...besides, Nintendo already did the girl power thing with Metroid. So a female Link would be strange, just like a male Samus.

I'd like to see more female warriors though. Have you ever thought about the Knight Academy in SS's ridiculously uneven gender ratio? One bathroom too...that's just asking for trouble...

 

[theoathtoorder]

no. who would she save? Prince Zelda?

 

[ShadowDiety]

If it ever happens make it an option.

How about another game consisting of Zelda saving Link? I think the first one consisting of this was a PC game, or maybe I'm mistaken.

 

[Pie Master]

Well, maybe that way it could truly be The Legend of Zelda because quite frankly she doesn't do much (should they use Zelda as the protagonist) ...
Either way, it could be a fun change

 

[S. Mario]

i don't think Link himself could be turned into a girl. Maybe a new character with a different name that somehow takes on Link's role. It would be weird for a girl to save Zelda though, so it would need a different plot.

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to choose between male and female Link. Nothing else would have to change. I'd like this option personally, but I'm not terribly bothered by it either way.

 

[Toki-no-ocarina]

I think it would be great if you could choose the gender of your character.

I think it would be great if you could choose the gender of your character.

That would be a good idea but it reminds me of Pokemon...

 

[Daniel]

I would not mind as long as the game is good but I have the feeling that some people would be mad about such a change.

 

[Roy]

This is off topic from zelda but yes and my example is to look at the metroid series.

 

[LanceLercher]

I think it may be a good idea, but I would only want it as a spin-off game. It would be cool to be able to choose your gender in the spin-off version.
