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.

@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. -
@VarlusMD Devs not offering games I want to play don't get my support. Tautologies are tautologies. - 5 more replies

@femfreq You have Zelda. You know, one of the few non Damsel In Distress roles in classic franchises? -
@femfreq And if you think she IS a Damsel in Distress, you haven't played any of the games. -
-
@MaxwellElvis@femfreq I said Zelda, not Mario, genius. Again, please play the games. They're about saving the land, not a princess. -
-
@MaxwellElvis@femfreq Zelda is usually the one that gives him the quest, not kidnapped. And if it weren't for her plans, Link would fail. -
@VarlusMD@femfreq HAHAHAHAHA NOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyMKWJ5e1kg … -
@MaxwellElvis@femfreq Oi! Weren't you the one that ignored game information? I call double standard! :P - 2 more replies

@femfreq If Nintendo actually made a female Link, you'd write her off as a Ms. Male Character. It's a lose-lose situation.#GamerGate -
