Nah man, Link is as featureless as a Ken doll. Link ain't got time for genitals.
They achieved ascension beyond gender, a non-binary icon
But Link is the Hero of Time
They protects that which they cannot possess 😞
The answer is both. Link's gender is "if you're into them, you're gay either way"
Basically yes. Enby here, anyone who finds me attractive is instantly, irrevocably, and fabulously gay.
There's two kinds of people in the world: people who would absolutely smash femboy Link and dirty fucking liars.
canonically genderfluid since he is designed the way he is for people if any gender to be able to relate to him
link is trans ftm
zelda is trans mtf
legend of zelda is a t4t lovestory :3
zelda spend more time with ganon than with link...
Ganon is trans mtam (male to alpha male)
Now he is amtdm (alpha male to dead male)
Ganon? The dude born of a tribe of people who only ever ever ever have female offspring? If anyone in the Zelda World is ftm then him!
There's an adorable little comic for that which I cannot find because search engines are kind of garbage now. "Remember the prince of Hyrule?"
Schrödinger's gender passing
Links Awakening
A Link between ~~worlds~~ genders.
I’ve always liked that they’ve made Link ambiguous enough that a lot of people can feel at least somewhat connected to the character. And also, that he doesn’t have text so that you can fill in that part of the dialogue in your own head.
Freeman's mind but it's Link.
link is so gender
Insisting Link is trans is twink-erasure.
Trans guys can be twinks as well
I guess none of us really know what is going on under that tunic but we all agree it's fuckable and everyone is gay.
the 3th gender
You mean the 3rst gender 🥵
Trans Atlantic
Stupid sexy Link
non-binary
Lemmy needs an /r/LinkIsCute.
I have wonderful news: !linkiscute@lemmy.blahaj.zone
And the first post is that comic I was trying to find. Perfect.
This is Navi cosplaying link
It's Pat!
I get your reference, but... those skits get kinda a mixed reaction in the trans community. They're pretty problematic but not awful by the standards of the time, but despite whatever the joke actually is, Pat, and their equally androgynous partner, are depicted as happy. So have my non-vote, lol.
If Pat is problematic, how is treating Link the same way not a problem? Especially since we know Link's full story and that he is not trans in any way? At least Pat was progressive enough to show two people of unclear gender and sexuality in a happy monogamous relationship even though everyone around them was treating them like a joke. That was pioneering for the time, and is part of the reason why trans and other non-cis people are becoming mainstream today as the Gen X and early Millennials like me grew up with that and are now gaining positions of influence.
Link on the other hand is definitely male, and has never been shown to display anything but male behaviors despite looking slightly androgynous. But that's more because he also belongs to an Elf-like race that are typically dipicted more androgynous. Then again, he's also a video game character and not a real person, so he likely has no opinion about how he's depicted. So I guess it's ok to make jokes about him being trans? That's probably more of a question for actual trans people.
