Why "Link should be a girl" anyway? Why not "Can you make a Zelda game with a female protagonist?" Linkle, stupid name aside, exists now. Why not demand a game about her kicking ass with her crossbows and time travel or whatever it is she does?

@ceruleanspark Or maybe just a game where you play as Zelda, like, one that isn't terrible.

@pandathehedgehog I think combining the "Not terrible" and "Play as Zelda" aspects might be too challenging for the design team. Better to start fresh. Make Linkle Zeldas rambunctious kid or something.

@ceruleanspark Fair enough. But yeah, no reason to make Link a female, that would just be silly.

@pandathehedgehog To me, the idea of creating a new female protag seems *more* feminist than "We'll just flip the gender of a character we have now to get them to shut up". It seems as though having a new PC with new lore is more empowering than letting the company get away with drawing kiwi on a character they already have.

@ceruleanspark I actually hadn't thought of it that way but yeah, you do bring up a good point... I'm still a bit baffled about this "transgender Mario" thing Critial brought up.
