Next thing you know they'll have Zelda crossdress as some kind of woke ninja and fight Ganondorf herself frothingfash

Wasn't there also a game when you played as female Link and i don't remember Nintendo building being torched and their personnel lynched over that?

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 37 points 2 months ago

BOTW has mandatory main story crossdressing Link

There's also a BOTW mod to let you play the whole game as female Link

Hyrule Warriors, and her name is Linkle. It's a musou/Dynasty Warriors spin-off

I have like 200 hours in that game and probably wouldn't be able to finish it with 200 more. Such a mindlessly fun game. It's peak.

Yeah, the franchise is pretty fun for silly action games where you mow down dozens of guys. The Fire Emblem: Three Houses spinoff one (Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes) is pretty fun if you haven't already played it.

[–] let_me_tank_her@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago

Yeah, Three Hopes is excellent. I only did one route, Scarlet Blaze, and really liked it since it fleshed out Edelgard better compared to Crimson Flower in Three Houses. Shez was an awesome protag and fit in with the cast. Had fun playing as Shez, Petra, and Edelgard. I wish it got a DLC expansion like the other Warriors games, but they just moved on unfortunately.

Oh, is that where the Linkle in the BOTW Linkle mod came from? I don't play Warriors games.

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 2 months ago

Yes i meant this game

There were two CDi games that had you play as Zelda. They were terrible, but kind of meme-able.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

I've wanted a Sheik spinoff where you do cool ninja stuff during the 7 years Link was sealed in the sacred realm in OoT for ages

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago

For at least a little while I think it was "canon" that her body changed when she turned in to shiek, and then nintendo re-gonned it because they're cowards.
