      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.

          @browndr Well, at least you're honest, I can appreciate it. "Do the game I want, or I won't buy it". That was refreshing.

          @femfreq Link never had dialogue; point was always that the player themselves was Link. More paramount is how females are depicted in games.

          @Zimmsy @femfreq Women in Zelda games are usually depicted as cool or heroic. There's so many of them in OoT, WW, and TP. (Never played SS.)

          @jackelzxa @femfreq Are the numbers, or the depictions, more important?

          @Zimmsy @femfreq There are....probably MORE cool women in zelda games than there are men by this point, and they're depicted well.

          @femfreq it's fascinating how we insist that a gender flipped version is progress when it reinforces male-centeredness AND male normative

          @femfreq It sums up everything about you. You don't want new interesting female roles. You want male roles replaced with female roles.
