https://kotaku.com/tears-of-the-kingdom-link-fox-news-trans-nonbinary-gay-1850502197 Fox Business, the subsidiary of Fox News Media, has discovered that some gamers are discovering their queerness thanks to Link, calling the Legend of Zelda hero a nonbinary or trans icon. Some, to the shock and horror of Fox, are even calling Link an egg-cracker, aka someone or something that helps a person realize they are trans. As you can imagine, the Fox journalist doesnt seem happy about any of this. Tears of the Kingdom, the latest game in the iconic Legend of Zelda franchise, launched on May 12 to rave reviews from critics and players alike. Many are already calling it the best game in the series, and some are even suggesting its one of the best games ever made. In the weeks since release, players have mastered multiple duplication glitches, learned how to build incredible machines, and all sorts of other fun hijinx. All in all, Tears of the Kingdom has enjoyed a mostly positive reaction from the gaming community. Even so, Fox Business has now decided to step in to point out how bad it is that so many of the games trans and nonbinary players identify with and feel inspired by Link. In an article posted by Fox Business on May 31, writer Jon Brown seems to have discovered that Link is seen by manyincluding his own creatorsas a relatively gender-neutral hero who anyone can relate to. The article links to a few stories about this topic, including this excellent one from Gizmodo, and seems surprised that an article like this exists alongside the sites other Zelda stories. Then we, inevitably, get to the point where the Fox writer calls The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom a childrens game and suggests that outlets like PBS are trying to make a childrens video game about gender identity. Which would be a very bad thing, apparently. Dont you know, kids might accidentally read an article about the game andturn gay? Trans? Whichever is the worst thing right now in the right-wing outrage machine. The article then decides to include a tweet from the awful propagandist Libs of TikTok and yell about The Sims 4 including chest binders and top-surgery scars. Again, Fox Business seems to think that all video games are designed and sold exclusively for children. And kids cant be exposed to real-world concepts like gender, sex, trans people, scars, or anything like that! ... Copied to Clipboard!

UnfairRepresent posted... As someone who has never really played Zelda games No, not in any official statement from Nintendo or in game canon. They are mad at a subculture of the fans. UnfairRepresent posted... I thought the origin point of Link was that Link was the child playing the game. Hence the name "Link" Nope. That's just the name of "The Hero" in the various continuities. There's been some talk from character creator Shigeru Miyamoto that in the original legend of zelda there was going to be time travel, and later that became a theme in some games with "Link" being the hero that bridges the gaps between the ages. Otherwise he is just "Link" because that's the name they gave him. Like Mario, Spyro, or Solid Snake... it's ultimately just their name. The main difference being that there are different links for each "world" or "age" the various games take place in. UnfairRepresent posted... And they only made him a male in later games. No, although it is different Links in different eras or worlds, Link has always been a specific male character. --- The right wing believe a fact is what their hierarchical belief structure dictates should be true - Not what is reflected in objective reality. ...

I think I remember hearing that Link has gone through some different iterations but after masculine Twilight Princess Link, the creator said he wanted Link to be kind of androgynous so anyone could see themselves as Link. So in my eyes they kind of are a trans icon but that should be a positive thing. Link as a character is solid and it isn't really being forced in any way. wackyteen posted... https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/7/8/5/AAPw6aAAEiOx.jpgNice --- twylite sprinkle http://tinyurl.com/jeqyas3 https://tinyurl.com/mgvx7h2 ...
