    Linkle is a stupid name, but it's something I can ignore for (finally) having a female Link.

    This is all priming us for Link to be female in the Wii U's Zelda game. We all saw the short gameplay trailer. Link totally looks super feminine in that.

    Also, Linkle...really? Such a stupid fucking name. Might as well have left the name Link. That's an already sex ambiguous name to begin with.

    In order of relevance:

    Linkle is a stupid name, holy shit.

    Can't wait for even more people thinking Link's name is Zelda.

    Does a female Link really deserve it's own thread? Seems like the kind of unimportant news the Everything Else thread was made for.

    Meh, the mods can change it to a thread about everything Hyrule Warriors of it's that big of a deal. Like most other threads here.

    Hyrule Warriors is a good place to introduce a female Link (I'm calling her Flink because it's equally as stupid, but funnier).

    If Flink is playable before I can play as Zelda/ Shiek in a mainline game though? I'll wash my hands of Nintendo.

    ...again

    This isn't Female Link, it's Link's little sister. The notes are explicitly calling her imouto Link.
    Still don't really see the need for Female Link, anyway.

    EDIT: no, hold on, that's wrong.
    It's not imouto Link, it's Imouto-like Link. Important difference.
    Still don't quite see the need.

    I agree. I'll always be salty until I get the Shiek Tenchu game I've always wanted.

    Ugh, imagine a game where by day you're a badass sorceress Princess, then by night you're a deadly ninja. Then imagine that in a game like Dishonoured -basically Ganondorf wins in the beginning and Zelda/Shiek escapes to take her kingdom back one Ganondorf lieutenant at a time until you take him out yourself...

    I've waned that game for years. You can keep your mute, crossbow fairy-elf.

    I didn't know about the 'imouto' thing. Nice catch, no one else reported that :-/

    Hugglx once again making it unnecessary to insult him

    I don't think this needs its own thread, nor does the Hyrule Warriors series imo... unless it's more popular than I thought on here? in which case yeah this should just be the OT for that series

    The point of forums is not to shove every topic into a neat little category, it's to talk. Having new threads is in no way a bad thing: it promotes discussion.

    Trying to cram every little thing into one thread, on the other hand, is harmful. The vast majority of people don't keep up with these threads, including myself, and would never stumble upon something they feel is worth talking about if it weren't in its own thread.

    So please stop trying to discourage people from posting threads. A forum lives and dies on participation, and DLP's tendency as of late to cram everything into little boxes could really mean a slow death of the forum.

    On topic:

    I like her design! It's not over the top or significantly different, which I feel is a boon here. I'd love to see a higher-resolution image of what NuitTombee linked, if anyone has it - google has failed me.

    I'm still hoping for a game called 'The Legend of Link', where you play as Zelda. ;)

    So many people confusing femLink with Link and Zelda. It will be chaos.Glorious chaos!


    But yeah, I'm interested to see how it will play out. Maybe some Zelda/femLink action? :D

    Not sure what to think about this one.

    Absolutely love the zelda games of course, but link never felt like a complete character... more of a blank slate to project yourself onto. At least compared to the rest of the cast which had more definitive personalities (IMO). Not sure if new sister/femlink is going to be another blank or something different.

    The sad thing is, Flink is still a better name than Linkle.

    Considering that for now she's meant to be in the Zelda Musou handheld game, characterization is unlikely.

    Then again, I think trying to push overt characterization on Link is a losing proposition in a post "I'm so hungry I could eat an octorok" world....
