      And the canon version of him is one of gaming’s biggest queer icons. Link is trans, Samus is gay, and Chief is ace.

        I’m super confused how the boy of legend is considered trans, is it just because he has effeminate features?

          So effeminate that they can pass as a woman whenever they want. And their girlfriend has a male alter ego. Let’s face it, they’re both genderfluid.

            Kinda feels like a stretch when they disguised their gender rather than fluidly being both, and link is literally the boy of legend but if it makes you happy then by all means

                … when is Zelda a boy?

                She disguises her appearance as sheik, she is not a boy though. She disguises her gender to be someone else but she is not living as a boy/man.

                Robinhood and his merry men also disguised themselves as women, it does not make them trans.

                Link is literally a boy as canon. He is the boy of legend.

                I have no problems with representation and I advocate for more of it for everyone but it’s a stretch my dude.

                  Link is a boy at least some of the time. And her boyfriend Zelda is a girl at least some of the time.

                    Zelda is always a girl. She is never prince Zelda.

                    Link is always the boy of legend.

                    This is a stupid hill to die on.
