Title: Zelda Windwaker Preview in Playboy, horrible error.
Post by: RockmanX on February 16, 2003, 04:29:45 PM

In the March issue, it's nice to see Zelda getting some adult exposure.  But after looking through the article I was horrified to see that they spelled Link as Linx.  Oh well.

You actually read the articles?

Believe it or not some of them are actually interesting.  Plus I actually wouldn't categorize Playboy as like big porn, it's more of um, hell.  I dunno

The articles on audiophile and home theater equipment are frequently some of the best in the industry.

Hmmm.... I normally don't read Playboy, as it is a little too light for my tastes, but I guess I should pick up this one.  March issue eh?

Here's something to consider concerning Playboy's articles- the guy who wrote Game Over, and *excellent* history of Nintendo, writes articles for Playboy.

"But after looking through the article I was horrified to see that they spelled Link as Linx."

That's not that bad.  I know people who actually OWN several Zelda games (usually the N64 of GB games) who think that Link's name is Zelda and nothing you can say can make them think otherwise.  Even arguements like "It says his name is Link in the f*cking manual" or "Why would both the hero and the princess have the same name?" don't make them change their mind.

It could have been worse.  They could have called him "Pink".

Well I was exagerating a tad to make it more dramatic.  Though, the calling Link Zelda mistake is very common.  I have just never heard mixing Linx with Link.  Heh, reminds me of Chrono Cross.

Ah, well, nude pictures of girls just aren't my thing.  But you're all guys, so I guess it would be yours, huh? It does seem like an odd place for a video game interview to be, though....

Ah I found the word, it's more of a men's entertainment magazine, than a porno.  The pictues are at most 15% of the entire magazine.
