Theorizing: Is Link gay?

Not much. It was in response to the post I quoted.

Link is definently NOT gay because in TP he shows affection for Illia.

Link isn't gay, otherwise all the Zeldas wouldn't be rated E.

Link encounters many guys on his quest, but you don't see him going around kissing them either.

I find the connections blatantly obvious:

LoZ/AoL=Link+Zelda (that's the whole save the princess cliche plotline, it works like that in the 8 bit games)
ALttP/LA: Evidence provided in LA shows he has attraction to Marin who looks like Zelda
OoT/MM: Ingame evidence strongly suggests there is a connection between Link and Zelda, and ofcourse who can forget what happens after you help defend the milk from the gorman brothers?
TMC: Well, they are childhood friends, and in most cliche plotlines (which Zelda really does have) that=relationship
FS/FSA: see TMC
TWW/PH: Obvious that theres a connection between him and Tetra
TP: If you don't see the LINK+ILIA or LINK+MIDNA signs throughout the game you're just stupid.

^And in OoX, he swoons after being kissed by Zelda. Good Job Rhalen. That should be the end right there.

That should be the end right there.

He should be Gay in the next game though.

*looks around* anyone notice that anyone who did support this has gone?

This post should be locked, i mean nothing has been shown that even hints that Link is gay. There best 'evidence' works against them just as much as it works for them. Which btw is the whole Link not kissing or showing any affection towards the ladies... but he hasnt done that to any of the males.

Except for....

*slaps hand to his forehead*

He does seem to show some affection for Collin after you save him. But thats easily explainable due to the fact that Collin looks up to Link as if he was an older brother.

Further proof of this is the drawing in Collins house... thats right there is a drawing :O

If you look closer on the wall you dig to get into it as a wolf, you can look and find a picture of four people... but Collin's family consists of Rusl, Collin and his mother. The fourth one I believe to be Link. Unless he has another sibling... but it being Link is kinda obvious. 1) Link and Rusl(honestly i cant remember his name...) are real close like father and son. In the begining he says its been awhile since they had a walk in the woods. He was probably the one who taught him to fight.

Also at the end Collin is seen walking away from the camera with a sword and shield on his back(would make for an interesting spin off)

So yea... its brotherly affection, due to their closeness being family. One wonders if they are not actually family!!!

But anyways...

Link is not gay.

Thank you. Thank you for that.

WHY!? Link is a classical European hero, in classical European stories, the hero gets the GIRL. And I am sure that little boys everywhere want to play as a hero that makes passes at other guys.

Why should he be gay though? What good would it do?

Make less than 1% of america happy because they are represented as heroes.

Exactly. It doesn't matter if he's gay or not. If Nintendo hasn't shown a kissing scene up to this point what makes you think they'd add one of he were gay?

It would be interesting. Perhaps a bisexual Link would be better.

But, it is something that I would like to see. (Although I understand I am not really justifying my posts that well).

Why stick to tradition? I see no reason why that formula shouldnt be tweaked.

Because then it wouldn't be Zelda, it would be Anime. I am happy with the line being clear.

But Link hasnt always fitted the description of the 'classical, European Hero'. Broaden your horizons, Humulos.

Although I do understand that this is merely what I would like to see. It might not be to everybody's cup of tea. The truth is, I was mostly arguing this to see what the reactions would be (and also try to stop this thread from being a complete flop).

Seriously Suagrpoultry I don't think we can ever agree on anything lol!
But as for this thread, I'm done!
Lock her up!
(Her being the thread)

You didn't read the thread like I asked you to, its not just me, the majority in here know he's not gay. It's not a matter of right and wrong, you came up with that on your own... >.>

I just say it.
I didn't mean to cut on her, but it's true.
So far we've yet to agree on anything. And I didn't mean for it to sound mean it was more like a "Haha we really can't agree on anything! Lol" it was ment to be a joke.
And anyways back to the post, like I said
Lock her up!

You are with us now, good.

Why is this thread still here?????????????????

*sigh* none of the mods are online. I suggest just ignore this thread.... unsubscribe.

Name one time that he has not. Castles, princesses, dragons, evil wizards, magical 2-edged swords, knights, and much much more. Also, the phrase "broaden your horizons" makes no sense in your context. Horizons are things on the distance you strive for. You are telling me to give my future more options?

Link a bisexual hero?
I suppose Homosexuality seems to be a step in the direction of Beastiality and the whole idea of complete sexual freedom. Thus not as well excepted since um..... it seems right? or..... people just follow the general trend and fear being judged (Those that judge can be rude sometimes)

However, It certainly would be intersting,
and would be a hard thing to master story wise


I appreciate what you are doing,
You might just Open up some peoples minds to the idea of a homosexual Link.

LMAO. How would the game be "spiced" up?

The idea that the description of the 'classical, European Hero' is the one that Link most fits is surely debateable. Zelda is influenced by all sorts. I think that it is obvious that The Legend of Zelda series (especially games like Majora's Mask) Deviate significantly from the generic hero. Game content is pointed towards that in some aspects, but it isnt a neccecary theme. 'broaden your horizons', in that context, was pointing towards acknoledging that Zelda can and and often doesnt stick to this formula.

But anyway. I will say what I said before, I wanted to see the reaction of people who were visiting this thread.

...?
