Linkle's cutesy name and appearance make it clear that she is not actually a female Link but a separate female character modeled on Link.

A kid-sister version of Link in a non-core-Zelda 3DS game is hardly what many of us meant when we said we would like to see a female Link.

@femfreq It IS a female Link, dammit, what more do you want?! -
@VarlusMD No, it's Linkle. We want a literal female Link. -
@browndr And who are you to demand anything from the dev? What power do you have? Their franchise. Their decision. Don't like it, tough. -
@VarlusMD I'm a consumer. I have purchasing power. No shit, but that doesn't mean I can't make demands/requests/etc... -
@browndr Sure, you can elect not to buy the game. The creator, however, has the power to do whatever they want with their property. -
@browndr By the way: not buying games is not a great way to show the dev you support them while suggesting a change you want. - 6 more replies

@femfreq Just admit it. You wouldn't have been satisfied no matter what they did. You would have found something to complain about anyway.. -
@BurningKitMask@femfreq 'just admit you are exactly like my absurd strawman of you' yeah how about no -

@femfreq I feel like whoever made Linkle just forgot Zelda exists? When will we get to play through a legend of ZELDA game as Zelda? Ever? -
@aevitas_lux
@femfreq This is much better idea then giving a main stay core role a sex change. New female roles not replacing male 1's

@femfreq agree. “Fe”male usually the marked gender male as default. Bachelor-ette wo-man host-ess etc. -

@femfreq yeah sucks to have male characters be default in an industry that is fueled by male consumers -

@Plaidshirtbro yep Anita Sarkeesian is a professional victim that finds something "problematic" in everything. -
@Plaidshirtbro feminists bitched for a unique female lead for Zelda. They get one and then bitch that she's too different from link -

@Plaidshirtbro "we ask for a female character and all you did was make link feminine" -
@Plaidshirtbro fucking look how feminists reacted to female chars in CoD. Bitched for inclusion then said games were trying to addict women
