The sage arguments were weaker overall, which is why they were reasons 4-6, rather than 1-3. Makor was indeed characterized as a guy, as was the deku tree in both wind waker and OoT, to me, this seems more to imply a strong connection between the earth itself and manhood. Supported by the...

Excellent. All of this is true, unequivocally. It isn't a matter of simple inheritance, however. Every member of the royal family possesses some measure of Hylia's power due to blood relation with her first mortal form. This much is known and agreed upon. As to the Zelda's herself, I look...

I told you to read up on lore because, to that point, you hadn't written any lore supported factual argument. You chose to take it as an offense, rather than me genuinely trying to share my interest and passion for this subject with another person. It certainly makes it rather easy to refute...

I don't understand why you insist on seeing derision and anger in my posts. I am in no way being condescending, nor am I denying anyone's right to have an opinion. I myself in my very first post said a female link wouldn't be an unwelcome change, just an odd choice for a long running series...

Nintendo's timeline is very half-assed, but most of it follows the trend of the games it describes. Also, the statement that Nintendo doesn't care about the story isn't an argument, and it doesn't prove anything. The branching occurs following ocarina of time. Well after the cycle has been...

In now way did I call you ignorant. I have no idea of your knowledge of the lore, as you have never made an argument, citing examples from the lore, that includes the LoZ universe in a substantive way. Please respond to the arguments I made in the post where I actually argued, most of what you...

You clearly misunderstood many points of my post, so instead of going over it all again, I'll just address the last two, given that the first point would require a drill press. Zelda is a the reincarnation of the goddess Hylia. This is the first reason "Zelda can't be a guy". The second is...

I'm seeing a lot of posts like this, and I would just like to clarify that there are many, varied, and strong lore reasons that Link, the hero, cannot be female. See my posts above. As a Zelda lore freak, this sentence kills me. "The Hero of Time" is only in one game, Ocarina of Time, Zelda...

This one might turn out to be long, I apologize in advance.. Also, before we begin, this involves a much more liberal reading of Nintendo's "Official" timeline which, if you've played all the games, makes absolutely no sense and is completely incongruous with the early titles. It seems like...

It has to add to the story to provide some reason for changing it. The game started with a male protagonist, and that has been carried through all the games to date. There needs to be a reason to change, otherwise why change it? As a general rule, if there isn't a reason to do something (both...

Long time lurker here, this post finally convinced me to register because Zelda is something I know quite a bit about (being a '90s kid and all) First off, there is nothing inherently wrong with a female protagonist in a Zelda game, but as others have said, simply having one for the sake of...
