AttentionThis pearl clutching about games that don't exist is just as fucking dumb as the diversity quotas you're arguing against.
Every so often you see a random reply to a thread that goes along the lines of "yeah, but the next game in this series is probably going to have a gay disabled woman of colour as the protagonist!" when the OP has absolutely nothing to do with it.
If that's the first thing that comes to your mind, you've let them get to you. Your well's been poisoned and you're now more interested in being super anti-woke than you are in the actual video games. It's just as annoying. Anything that doesn't star Grizzled McActionHero as the lead is immediately dismissed as muh essjawdubya agenda, it's so boring. People REE'ing at fucking Ratchet & Clank for having a female action hero lombax, even though if these people were actually old enough, they would remember that Ratchet & Clank 2 had one in 2003.
The horseshoe is real, even when it's poorly veiled satire.

Careful there. We don't accept this path. The correct one is changing males to females. And white to black. We have spoken.What if Zelda turns out a dude?
If they have a sword and shield and are rolling towards me simply because I might have a rupee? Yes.Do women of color frighten you or something?
It's not Link then. Make a new character in the same universe then.Do women of color frighten you or something?
Oh boy! Sonic would finally have some competition!Why not introduce Maria as the black half-sister of Mario who has the hots for Bowser and make a game out of that?
the very loud majority of Zelda fans who love the games but hate playing as Link.
I've been playing Zelda games since the very first one and I have literally never heard that before.Link. Hopefully Nintendo blesses us and finally listens to the very loud majority of Zelda fans who love the games but hate playing as Link.
Yeah, these threads have been popping up here recently and it confuses the hell out of me.Why is Resetera like that
Just be yourself. Don't beat yourself up, share your viewpoint and that's honestly all anyone is looking for.I do not understand American politics. It just comes off as a bunch of silly people according to Bill Maher. Why is it politically correct to say Persons of Color instead of black or brown? I've seen enough white people to know their skin tone is also a color, unless I missed something when I went to school.
Maybe I need to enroll in Michigan State University to study Surviving the Coming Zombie Apocalypse, or Indiana State University, where I can do a course in the Philosophy of Star Trek in order to make sense of this
The game actually does a good job (probably for the first time in a Zelda game) with explaining why Link is silent. The game doesn't go out of it's way to give you certain plot details but a lot of stuff is there if you stumble on it. BOTW is actually Zelda's story arc rather than Link's. Not trying to white knight the game, I think it's overhyped myself, but just wanted to toss that out in case you missed certain journals or didn't get all the memories.BotW was my first Zelda game and Link was one of the most forgettable characters I've ever played, so not sure what personality there is to copy.

*ends personality*Heeya! HIYA! HUH! HUH! HEEYA!
Would be better of playing as Zelda instead of fucking around with the lore.
What's next, Maria instead of Mario? Lol wtf
There’s a Sonic game where he has the hots for Bowser?Oh boy! Sonic would finally have some competition!
Good one ahahaha
Yes, please.
There’s a Sonic game where he has the hots for Bowser?
Who knows. This might have been a super smart move from the OP to bait out incels/4chan-types on this forum and they fell for it hook line and sinker.Why is this even a question?
In seriousness, it baffles me how people have time to sit around and dream up stuff like "what if link was a black woman" and get all excited in the process...
Thankfully Nintendo will simply keep making games they want to make.
Or....they're just having fun with what-if/rule 63 scenarios.They don't even stop to think that the very act of changing Link sex is problematic. By doing this, they pretty much admit that Zelda games has no good/worth female characters and they have to rely on sex change of the male protagonist.
Link doesn't have a personality, he's just an avatar. You could replace him with Sonic and you'd not notice the difference after 5 minutes.
