The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess fan reactions
I'm sorry... I'm not as strong as some of you here--most likely not anyone.
Here's the points I made: I think that Nintendo's franchise's are going to change. Zelda is included. As their demographic changes with the different audiences that buy their game, they're going to need to change. People are becoming more open-minded. More girls are playing video games. All these things factor in. I think Zelda will have a female hero. It's only a matter of time at this point. Simply wanting a franchise to change isn't enough. It will change because people do.
Well, my original one was more longer, but I'm too lazy to type it all over again.


you're stronger then me.
I made up a rather lengthy rebuttal, PB, but I decided it's better for me to keep my thoughts to myself from now on. I'm sorry for disturbing this topic.
That's their problem for trying to take the storyline so seriously, when I bet even Nintendo themselves don't give two shits about the storyline now.
You SURE, Blues-y? Even knowing what happened the last TWO times Zelda got a title?
But seriously...
Hero of Sexcellence? No MAN with a title like that should ever have any foul thing befoul him! That'd be like a "Divide By 0" type of event!

Any way, while interesting, my thing would just be...would it be better to just have a game starring Sheik?
Lord knows there are enough people who'd probably dig a thing like that, especially if it did more to play up to the exact "relationship" between Zel and the Sheikah-wanna be. Is Sheik really just a convenient magical conjuration for the sake of a disguise, or is there possibly more to the story that we may not know of? That could be an interesting thing for a game itself.
But I do agree some what with the notion that Noboka talked about, however. Would it be at all possible to have such a game, without drastically changing Zelda's demeanor and character archetype? Not trying to be a chauvinist or whatever, I just have a hard time honestly picturing Zelda "throwing down" or otherwise getting her hands dirty, outside of the context of Smash, of course.

I fully agree with the notion that Ninty is sitting on great female leads. (Especially Captain Syrup, but I'm a bit biased!)

But on the same note, I still don't see what would be the harm of, at least for once, maybe possibly having Link being a girl, or just have the "different genders" like I suggested. As long as it was done with a degree of "class", and actually did some thing to play to the advantage of having the PC being as such.



Stop posting what I think better than I would dammit! I was trying to respond to that for the longest time and then you just breeze on in and do it in one take.
