I've seen some pics of her with softer features, so doesn't seem a problem that cant be solved with some makeup. Somewhat androgynous features might also be an advantage in case she needs to portray both Zelda and Sheik. Guess we'll see what comes of it, if anything.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 now shows you microtransaction ads when you swap weapons
"Actively witnessing Call of Duty become the Krusty Krab."
Eagle-eyed Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players have spotted a new feature on the weapon selection menu.
Right at the top there now sits advertisements promoting premium weapons and skins, so players get exposed to ads for microtransactions in-game.
As some players point out, it's not an advert in the classic sense, and no one's trying to flog you a cheeseburger or a pair of jeans every time you swap a weapon. Nonetheless, it's a new and insidious addition that we haven't seen in Call of Duty games before.
"One of the unwelcome changes I’ve noticed with Season 4 is that they’ve now inserted a new ad spot at the top of the list of your weapon specifics builds," wrote one player. "So now every time you toggle between weapon builds you get to stare at ads for $20-$30 skins. I’m sure the Activision developer who suggested this terrible feature is very proud of themselves.
"This change is especially unneeded because you could already toggle from Builds to Shop on any given weapon and apparently not being thrown directly in our faces didn’t make them enough money. Many of us payed [sic] $60-$100 for a feature game and don’t want to be bombarded with additional ads."
"Actively witnessing Call of Duty become [SpongeBob SquarePants'] the Krusty Krab," replied another.
"Well guys looks like COD can suck a fat one," replied someone else. "This ad mess is ridiculous. They make huge bank already for them to even do this should be illegal. I've never been done with a COD this fast ever. But she's getting deleted. You can't scrounge people for money and not have a decent game. I'm not asking for a great game, just not a buggy game."
In a separate thread that's been upvoted almost a thousand times, one player opined: "I wouldn't even be mad if this was just in warzone, a free game, but putting it in a pay-to-play premium title, with how expensive they're getting?"
"Agree 100%, it really feels like one of those free cell phone games from a tiny indie studio begging you for money at every turn. Pathetic for a full price, stand alone game from a huge developer," replied another.
Earlier this year, in a update shared on social media, developer Treyarch said it recognised cheaters "are frustrating and severely impact the experience for our community" but insisted it was addressing the issue, and will continue to do so "throughout 2025". At the same time, it confirmed 136,000 ranked play accounts were banned for cheating across both Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone.
usually when ppl claim 'well known videogame character' should be played by 'some actor they personally like' it's another "yeah whatever I guess, could go either way" which was my initial reaction to seeing the name Hunter Schafer thrown in for Zelda, but then I googled out of curiosity cos name sounded familiar
‘The Legend Of Zelda’ Movie May Land A Perfectly Cast Princess, Per Report
It remains to be seen where Wes Ball’s upcoming Legend of Zelda movie is a good idea at baseline, but now a casting search appears to be spooling up for its major roles.www.forbes.com
Seems unlikely tho. Nintendo too conservative and risk-averse. Griftosphere would also have a field day.
And it's not like there are that many roles for elves out there.no fucking way

that's a Zelda out in the wild, a free range Zelda?
Well, no, she's technically a Hylian. But they're sorta elvish. Zelda in particular, tho can't forget about Link, aka gaming's most fuckable twink.
That They/them in the photo above could make a good link. But Zelda should still be a super model.
The true battle of the console wars wasn't whether Zelda OOT or FF7 was better. The real battle was about which blonde twink wore the dress better. To which the answer is Link
I don't know man, Link still says hello.
Change is possible.

Eh, my impression is Japan thinks cross-dressing is funny. I mean, it can be. But that they think that's all there is to it. When it shows up, like in Pokemon or Final Fantasy (or Lazarus, if you're still watching that), it's always treated as a joke, either on the person forced to wear the thing or on the people "duped".
It is in a weird place (duh, it's Japan), but the cross dressing or the highly effeminate male is treated with more respect in Japanese fiction than being gay is (at least, in anything that isn't expicitly yaoi). Even in regards to the "trap" the people in question are always depicted as beautiful, and after being "discovered" it usually doesn't result in them tarred and feathered or put in jail. In Pokemon (with James) it's a joke, sure, but it's never presented as visually grotesque.
Original Persona 5 was kinda like that in that one scene, but I feel like Royal toned it down a bit (admittedly, it has been about 5 years since I last played it), and in both versions of the game there's Lala-chan who is nothing but friendly and respectful to the protagonist, and respectfully treated by the game. Admittedly, Lala-chan fits a very specific cultural niche that the random guys in that other scene don't exactly, but even so.

What happened Nintendo? Did your balls drop off? Even with that in mind, they could have still sent the consoles out to the reviewers. Just inform them about the updates and move on.It’s official: There are no Nintendo Switch 2 reviews. Here’s what that means for us, and you | VGC
Nintendo’s decision not to facilitate pre-launch Switch 2 reviews is disappointing news for everyone…
First time I've ever heard of gaming hardware review embargo. This can't be good
