Would You Like a Gay The Legend of Zelda Character?
What if Miyamoto decided to make a new Zelda game with a character that have a crush on Link,
would Zelda be a worst or better game? :hmm:

A Link In Time: “And no, I would not like a gay Legend of Zelda character. That would be strangely unfitting as the franchise primarily appeals to a younger audience, the majority of which is not prepared to acquaint themselves with such sexual orientation.”

SNOlink: “I personally don't want a gay character in Zelda. Something seems kind of odd about that...but I'm not sure what...just feels kind of weird...for...some reason...I don't know.”

Links Brother: “In my opinion Homosexulaty is not a good thing since it is human nature for a Man and Wife to marry. And many kids play Zelda and they might get a bad idea from the game. It would also lose the relationship with Zelda a little and would make the game less kid friendly losing some the audienc”

Kupsacker: “Ummmm, no. Imagine how much criticism Nintendo would get for putting gays in such a huge franchise. It would be a dumb move just to satisfy a handful of gay gamers.”

Koosholts: “Technically homosexuality isn't natural. Men and women are supposed to be together, sexually, to reproduce and that's why a heterosexual relationship is coined natural. In a homosexual relationship you can't reproduce and that's why the whole intimiate part of the relationship is coined unnatural.
No matter what anybody believes/thinks, society claims homosexuality to be unnatural and the majority of parents wouldn't want their kids exposed to homosexuality at such an early age. If they were to explicitly show homosexuality in a Zelda game, or for any game that matter, they would suffer from law-suits up the wadzuu, lose a large amount of sales due to people not buying the game, it would cause wide spread controversy all over the interent, and it plain and simply wouldn't be good for Nintendo.”

It’s NOT! THE! SAME! THING!! Because the hetero couple WOULD STILL BE ABLE TO HAVE PIV INTERCOURSE!!!!”

’Technically’ homosexuality is by definition ’natural’because it fucking exists. And why the fuck is homosexuality not ‘kid-friendly’ when heterosexuality is? Both can be portrayed EXACTLY the same, except with the sex of one of the characters switched. If you think that’s somehow damaging to a child… Well, then you are the problem, not the game.

... you know, Link showing actual definitive sexual interest towards anyone in the games would be more or less out of the norm. Perhaps he's ace? *shrug*
(this is admittedly something I've thought for a long time)

Or, you know, sexuality in general has nothing to do with Link doing hero stuff?
Not that it matters.
Even if there was a guy with a most definite gay crush on Link, he wouldn't be the first to show an interest in Link and ultimately have no returned interest.
Or are you afraid that there would be a chance of Link reciprocating? Pfff

Homosexuality is not "unnatural", by the way.

Or maybe the hypothetical gay character would just be in the game and be gay and not have a crush on Link? Not that there's a lot of sex going on in any Zelda games that I remember anyway...

I mean, Link rescues Zelda, but I don't remember any game where they immediately fucked afterwards...or was it even implied that they were a couple, at that?

...and with a username like that, is there something you want to tell us?! [/Freud]

Although you'd have to leave that Armoured Closet of yours first.

Funny ,how there are so many games aimed at kids where the male main character hooks up with (or atleast implied to) the main female character. Technically those games deal with sexual orientation and yet no one calls that unfitting.

Oh wait silly me, you only mean that kids shouldn't see icky nasty queers in their precious Vidya (even though homosexuality is no more NSFW than heterosexuality) .

Technically homosexuality isn't natural

I remember reading a book written by a pastor who was talking about sexual development of children and teens, and brought up how many young children will form strong bonds with kids around them, of either sex, with powerfully romantic elements. Basically, a strong best friend relationship involving a great deal of physical affection, and in fact “sexuality” as far as the children understand it. And he actually attempted to make this sound like the children forming boy/boy or girl/girl relationships like this were falling into a sinful and unnatural relationship that should be strongly discouraged, rather than apparently considering that if this is happening so often, we might actually naturally be romantically drawn to certain people regardless of their genitalia.

He might also have been reading much more sexuality into close childhood friendships than was actually there in, most likely, the majority of cases.

“…the franchise primarily appeals to a younger audience, the majority of which is not prepared to acquaint themselves with such sexual orientation.”

“…many kids play Zelda and they might get a bad idea from the game.”

So just never let the kids know that there are some people out there who are attracted to those of the same gender? I’m sure that will in no way lead to bullying and/or mental health issues.
