      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.

      Because of the ways in which she is so clearly set apart from Link, Linkle only works to reinforce the notion of "male as default.”

          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.

          @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.

          @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
