Next thing you know they'll have Zelda crossdress as some kind of woke ninja and fight Ganondorf herself frothingfash

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 28 points 2 months ago

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?

[-] buckykat@hexbear.net 37 points 2 months ago

BOTW has mandatory main story crossdressing Link

There's also a BOTW mod to let you play the whole game as female Link

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 23 points 2 months ago

Hyrule Warriors, and her name is Linkle. It's a musou/Dynasty Warriors spin-off

[-] let_me_tank_her@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago

I have like 200 hours in that game and probably wouldn't be able to finish it with 200 more. Such a mindlessly fun game. It's peak.

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago

Yeah, the franchise is pretty fun for silly action games where you mow down dozens of guys. The Fire Emblem: Three Houses spinoff one (Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes) is pretty fun if you haven't already played it.

[-] let_me_tank_her@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago

Yeah, Three Hopes is excellent. I only did one route, Scarlet Blaze, and really liked it since it fleshed out Edelgard better compared to Crimson Flower in Three Houses. Shez was an awesome protag and fit in with the cast. Had fun playing as Shez, Petra, and Edelgard. I wish it got a DLC expansion like the other Warriors games, but they just moved on unfortunately.

[-] buckykat@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago

Oh, is that where the Linkle in the BOTW Linkle mod came from? I don't play Warriors games.

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 2 months ago

Yes i meant this game

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago

There were two CDi games that had you play as Zelda. They were terrible, but kind of meme-able.

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

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] Cowbee@hexbear.net 37 points 2 months ago

Playable Zelda has been in my top list of desires for the Zelda series since I was a kid, this is nonsense drivel.

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] Cowbee@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

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

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

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 35 points 2 months ago

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

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 32 points 2 months ago

I was thinking about it today but chuds who teeth gnash over "woke" are the "think of the children" moms of the 90's.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Hypocrisy doesn't even slow chuds down.

One of my chuddiest relatives, between his many "nothing offends me, quit being such a delicate snowflake" speeches given during barbecues (yep, he had big grillman energy), once boasted that his single-digit-aged kids were soooo mature that he'd watch Gambo Thrones on the big tv while they played with toys on the carpet in the same room and that didn't bother them at all, so he claimed... but then a gay blowjob happened amid the SV and gory torture scenes and he lost it and ranted about that instead for days because that "could ruin his kids' minds." grill-broke

[-] GeorgeZBush@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

Sounds like he got a little...triggered smuglord

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago

They became what they sought to destroy

[-] StalinStan@hexbear.net 34 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Hello_Kitty_enjoyer@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Tomboymoder@hexbear.net 33 points 2 months ago

Zelda has been a girlboss since OoT.

[-] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 19 points 2 months ago

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

spoiler


Zelda literally turned into a giant light dragon and travelled back in time to restore the master sword lol.

[-] Tomboymoder@hexbear.net 27 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] Lemmykoopa@lemmygrad.ml 17 points 2 months ago

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

[-] dannoffs@hexbear.net 33 points 2 months ago

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

[-] 4am@lemm.ee 28 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

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

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 27 points 2 months ago

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 gamer-gulag

[-] LocalOaf@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

Grok's woke! liz-society

NOOOOOO ZELDA ISN'T IN DISTRESS AND NEED OF SAVING AGAIN DEI IS RUINING MY HOBBYRINOS

[-] Rojo27@hexbear.net 25 points 2 months ago

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

Is this DEI? is-this

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 21 points 2 months ago

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

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago

But The Prophecy(tm) in a 90s game said that... morshupls

I HATE THE THERMIAN ARGUMENT

[-] GVAGUY3@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago

These guys are just bots right?

[-] PKMKII@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] Thordros@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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.

[-] TheChemist@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago

I honestly am excited about a game where Zelda saves Link.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago
[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 2 months ago

They better include the best moment in Zelda's history in this new game:

Dipshit gamerbros can only defend it in the most sexist terms in the comments.

[-] ashinadash@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

I hope they make Link the bottom in this one

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

I thought it was an odd art direction and playstyle but it's Nintendo and they can have a soy-cutie casual game if they want.

How much did they play with the Mario IP and the franchise is fine.

[-] HexBeara@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

I don't see the big deal. Zelda is the green one right? /s
