uhhh you can make a lead character a girl without being all GIRL POWER about it and i'm pretty sure that's what nintendo would be intending to do lol

nowhere in my post did i imply that they couldn't lol

and that's exactly what anybody should want them to do with a female link

seems liek we're all on the same page then

well, i didn't really mean it to be overly political, obvious, or superficial, i guess i just meant through simple dialogue or something? i'm talking subtlety here. and it wasn't a suggestion, it was just an idea of how it could play out should nintendo ever want to do anything like this

i feel like my post is being taken as more than what i meant it to be here. that's probably my fault though.

and i dunno, i never said nintendo HAS to prove anything, if anything nintendo's already proven they're pretty good about this stuff because they don't make anything overtly male-oriented to begin with

granted, a zelda game where link is simply a girl and that's that, nothing else changes, is also perfectly fine. i just think that if they wanted, they could have a little more fun with the idea. that's all.

forget i said anything tbh

i think they can have some fun with the idea too, but only in ways that are more incidental than overt

i think we're in agreement at this point that zelda should never feel as if it's lazily pushing some shallow, generic 'girls can do it too' message

no well-written ip should ever feel compelled to do something like that

rather if anything it should operate on the basis that girls can do it too and thus it should never dwell on the fact that a girl does indeed happen to be doing it, which is why i took issue with your initial post lol

metroid has never needed hollow "female-positive" messages, samus just is and does, showing rather than telling

this is also true of mirror's edge, portal, super mario bros. 2, even pre-2013 tomb raider, and pretty much every good ip which has ever had female starring roles

counterexamples are things like super princess peach

if zelda is to have a female protagonist, i would hope for it to look to the former as models

honestly i wish linkle had some nice tits

[Samus Aran]

she does, according to all the porn of her that already exists

[TooB]

Porn that most already existed as rule whatever one is gender bending then was changed to be tagged as linkle

[Samus Aran]

no...actual linkle porn, braids and outfit (or pieces of it) and everything.
