This is....bad
Along with about 1/5 of the messages showing "[This message was deleted at the request of a moderator or administrator]"... just reminds you how homophobic the video game fandom is too.

Well, in my opinion whereas the SW2001 Link looked like a girl, the Twilight Princess Link is the least androgenous he's every been (cyrano de bergerac nose in some rendeitions notwithstanding), and also the most ethnic Japanese he's ever looked.

Pretty much. The other day I was outside and almost died from a sudden gust of fart blowing leaves everywhere. I don't have any Link hentai.
I have some images of him being very fem looking, though. Does that count, internet? DOES THAT COUNT?

I saw some Link/Zelda hentai once. It was pretty lame. :<

Edit: went to Gamespot, I can't believe how intolerant the reaction is. I don't think Out even claimed Link was homosexual or anything, they just called him hot. Sheesh!

I have to dispute this. In my opinion, Space World 2001 Link is actually subtly masculine because, again in my non-expert opinion, he actually starts to look Japanese in this game. And compared to a japanese ethnic standard, he looks more like a Japanese male than a Japanese female.
That said, Link seems to still have a couple Twilight Princess glamour shots though that accentuate his eyebrows, so there's definitely room for discussion.

But that would mean that Link was grown up and therefore mature.
we'll save that version of link for when Nintendo goes 3rd party and releases a "M" rated Zelda game on a Sony console. [/bad joke]

If Link is 17ish, then he can surely muster a teenage goatee.

Yo Link Jak is up in ya face
Says you be looking like a disgrace
"Yo man now I got a goatee
You'll neva been as fly as me!"
Link is sadder than he ever been
Cause in 2006 you must be XTREME.
Post by: Smash_Brother on May 31, 2006, 12:04:00 PM
Some stubble couldn't hurt to make Link look more masculine, though I agree that TP Link is probably the most masculine he has ever looked.

Though what I would go for is a design-your-own-Link. It's not the kind of feature Nintendo likes to offer, but I think the reason Link is kind of androgynous is partially because Nintendo wants him to be able to "stand" for any player, including female players. As opposed to Solid Snake or the dude from God of War, who are both extremely masculine. Then again, I might be reading too much into it. Yeah, probably.
(Edit: Nice beards, guys!)
