This topic was posted in the wii forums and got kinda interesting, so since Zelda is one of those franchises so popular that it blurs fanboy lines, I thought I'd get SW's opinion on it.

How would you feel if the next Zelda (or any future Zelda game) starred a girl Link? I mean, each Link is different. Each one is the hero of a different era. There's nothing saying the legendary hero has to be male. Now, I don't mean a ditsy girl like Peach, I mean a proud female heroine like Samus.

I spent way too much time discussing this when I should have gone to bed.. short answer "No, its not worth it, and a female cant make the same impact in an epic role that a male can."

Im not opposed to the idea at all, I actually think it would be a great turn of things if one Zelda stared a female link. Unfortunately I doubt that would ever happen.

Logic wins again :), but yeah seriously that is basically soft core Zelda Hentai right there, just look at the pic.

I like the idea a lot actually. I think a new main character would be a neat idea.

That would definitely be a very refreshing change that would be very welcome, at least for me. There is probably plenty of fanboys who wouldn't want anything to do with it. It would help add some new ideas to Zelda, which it has been so very much needing.

My last point is that it shouldnt happen because Nintendo doesnt know how to replace a male with a female.

Thats why we have her:

I would love that. Not just for the fact that its a female but what it symboloises. If Nintendo has a woman in the next Zelda game then you can bet the games going to be pretty different/original too.

Anyway put the pic back up man, some of us didnt see it.

Is it really going to make that much of a difference? Besides getting a bunch of 12 year olds turned on?

Well, the idea is to NOT make her a sex symbol...like most game heroines.

I knew You would be in here and saying something dirty :P
But i am missing that other person who is sucked into japanese novels.

I would luv a female link, as long as it's part of the story. But i think the gameplay would have to change a bit as well. The adventures of boy link in WW make him adorable. They wouldn't have the same effect on a girl. I'd want the same effect for the girl link.

Why not just let the player choose Link's gender at the start of the game? He's a silent hero, so it's not as if it'd make much of a difference.

It would be interesting, and I wouldn't put it past Miyamoto to do something that crazy. That being said, I don't think it will happen.

Those people who watch Doctor Who would realize the same argument applies to the Doctor. Could be female, but probably won't happen.

The difference with that is: each Doctor is essentially still the same character, while each Link is supposed to be different.

Female Link, no. But, I wouldn't mind seeing a Zelda game actually featuring the title character as a large component of it, and being playable.

I wouldn't mind it. We rename Link's name anyway, so why not have a different gender?

Something like this would be the refreshing change the Zelda series desperately needs right now. I'd buy a Wii for this, as long as the game is good.

MEH, it would make a lot of horrible fan fiction, even though there is already a lot of Zelda porn already out there.

I think that would be very interesting, I'd go for it. Heck make Zelda male too, and Ganondorf female. I be down from this. An alternet reality Zelda world. Sounds cool to me.
