Description
I've always been in favor of a female Link. I find the notion intriguing and wished Nintendo would milk in that concept - it would breath some new and interesting life into their franchise. Of course, I also understand why they wouldn't. As awesome as it sounds, why would Nintendo utilized a female Link without a reasoning behind it?I made my own reasoning when I first made her some seven or so years ago. Surprisingly, not much has changed since I first made her. Well, other then adding Linebeck to the character roster back in '07 cuz' Linebeck rules.

Link actually looks like a girl back in the old days....hmm.....i always think that:"Why the main character of LoZ has to be a female" XD

When I was three I thought Link was a girl, so I called him "Swordgirl"
Nice to know someone out there had enough imagination to bring swordgirl to life. Bravo!

Swordgirl? That's so adorable. ^^ I like the appeal of a female Link. Shame Nintendo might never make a game with that.

For some reason, this is the only case where I find Link/Linebeck cute. Why is it that May/December pairings seem okay (hetero lolicon and shotacon is on the fine line between okay and just plain disturbing), but if it's man/boy shotacon, "call the cops! It's Pedobear!"? Maybe it's because it was fairly common pre-20th century for a young woman to marry a man that was old enough to be her dad. I don't know. Society definitely has something to do with this.

Honestly, I think it's also the issue of underage pairings that can cause a lot of controversy as oppose to "just" May/December romance. I have absolutely no problems with slash - I do it! - or shotacon, but I often avoid underage relationships. It's not for me. Hell, originally Link was 16 in my stories before I added Linebeck and decided, considering I made him 30, she needed to be bumped into 18.

And I agree. I prefer het, but I have no problem with slash as long as the pairing in question is at least somewhat plausible. The underage stuff makes me uneasy.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Weird pairings plausibility depends for me. I've made a lot of crack pairings that makes no sense. Instead of doing it just for the hell of it, I often work at it and give reason why it makes sense. Any other reason is just me goofing off because hey, fun is fun, no?

Now I can't help but wonder what a Steampunk LOZ would look like if drawn by you Neoyi. I'm not sure were that thought comes from.

lol for some reason link/linebeck seems cute :3
female link of course!

I vote more Ganondorf/Link subject. One case where het seems hotter than slash to me. Also, perfect time for Link and Zelda to try clothing-swapping and seeing the results.
Link: Wheee! Look at me, I'm Zelda!
Zelda: ...

I have this weird love for Ganondorf/female Link. It's a lustful end from Ganondorf who is clearly and sexually attracted to her, but isn't quite sure if he wants her (due to her being his prime enemy) or if he just wants to jump and rape her.
Actually, I HAVE thought of Link and Zelda clothes switching. It was part of a story where Link would take place as Zelda from some evil (probably Ganondorf himself). Of course, they would have to alter it a bit - Link being a few inches taller. I should draw them clothes switching one day.

I like a guy whose repressed sexuality doesn't make him want to rape the hero(ine)- no. I like it when he wants reciprocation of lust- or even love- in some fashion and that's driving him nuts as much if not more so than wanting to hit that fine thang.
Link: Ha, Ganondorf! I'm not the princess!
Ganon: Oh, you can be my princess, Link. *leer leer*

Story wise, there won't be any rape or any big leap in love. The most are subtle hints of lust Ganon feels for Link (and Dark Link seducing him on doesn't help) so any issue of rape may all just be in his head, plus I like the idea that he's more of a gentleman; subtle and evil, but calm and refined. An actual idea of rape on Ganondorf may differ with personality since he's changed quite a few times in the games (which is understandable given his long-living immortal status), though this won't happen in my story.
My Ganondorf is at that crossroad and point where he doesn't really care much about his own personal life. One gets the sense that he wants Link to kill him. He, too is tired of all this.

I like the idea that he's more of a gentleman; subtle and evil, but calm and refined.
That's it exactly. I want my bad guy to be a villain, not a monster.
One gets the sense that he wants Link to kill him. He, too is tired of all this.
Which is what makes this concept intruging. And if it ends for him... does it end for Link and Zelda, too? What would freedom from the cycle real mean?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I honestly kept the idea of what happens after the cycle ambiguous. To me, that is something that can be left to be interpreted by others.

Which is really for the best, but GAAAAAAAH. I want to know!

Honestly, I never thought about it after my story. It's left to others to make their own shit.

AAHH female Link !! It's blasphemy IT BURNS IT BURNS!!!!
Just kidding, its actually a pretty funny idea. To bad it can't really work in the actual games due to the title of the series, though I'm surprised they haven't changed the series to something like the "The Legend of Hyrule" or "Hyrulian Tales". Since "Legend of" implies that the next word is the hero, which Zelda is not.
But other than that its a pretty great picture, and hopefully a good story.

Wow! This is really a neat idea! Thanks to this, I now want to see a female Link in a Zelda game. If it's (almost) never the same Link twice, naturally, one of them should be a girl.
And I agree with the previous commenter - Zelda should be a useful protagonist someday!

Simple reasoning.
If all of the games are linked into a single story plot(even the alternate timeline games. Thank you OOT), and all of the Link's are related by blood. Eventually you will get the extra X chromosone needed for a girl.
If they are not related and it's simply reincarnation, genetics can still manage that extra X chromosone somewhere in one of those lifetimes.
I would also like for Nintendo to do something a little bit different with LOZ. It's essentially the same old story over and over and over, with only minor differences in between.
If it's Legend of Zelda, maybe Zelda should get off her but and save her kingdom herself. She is a spellcaster, she can do something other than be captured every single time.
These are great, by the way.

Actually, I believe in the idea that Links are all reincarnation and not by blood (that's Zelda). So the idea of Link as a girl would purely be on whatever magic or story element needed to make her a chick. The reasoning behind my female Link is that the Goddess is sick of Ganon's shit and decides to end it all. A time for change; hence a female Link and not the usual males AKA the change.
Well, in Spirit Tracks, Zelda DOES help. She's probably my favorite because of it. She has such an interesting personality. Very spunky.

WOW. Just WOW. So many Girl!Link images..different outfits, ages, expressions, scenarios...
This is great! ^///^
(If you don't mind me saying, I would go gay for Girl!Link.)

Go gay to your heart's content, ahaha.

I really do love it when you do these sheets, they round out the universes you make up so well. It Show us the quirks and characters way better then a single image could.
It just makes me curious to see what else you'll do with this idea. Even if its kind of a bunch of doodles put together I really do like this. Great job.

Very nice. I like it, especially Linebeck's feelings for her. Just sweet, cute and funny at the same time.
Also like Dark Link. Hmm, wonder what she would have looked like as a kid.

Probably one of those little brats you wanna chuck off a cliff.

Yeah, I can see that. Too bad for those people she'd probably be a bit too kick ass for that.

It's so easy to turn Link into a girl these days its not funny. XD
I mean the old Link was pretty much your typical 80's looking dude. But ever since Link went blonde and wide eyed..well..dude looks like a lady is no exaggeration. XD
And Dark Link..damn!! just WOW! O.o
