FACEPALMING. SO. HARD. by Deku_Sage

*shakes fist at post limit*

Ehem, anyway about Linkle. Tbh.. I'm torn between laughing my roots off, and flipping every table within a one mile radius.

I love Hyrule Warriors, but it was about just as much Zelda fan fiction-y content I could handle in a licensed game. Linkle being a thing pretty much throws that over the edge.

And while I don't want to hate just yet, I just... don't think we're at a shortage of cute girls in the game, least of all the oldest fan service-y idea in the book. Like, they'll include her, but NOT Groose? Messed. Up.

Like, when I heard she was a scrapped idea, I thought, "well I can see why." Lol. Apparently not anymore!

Mostly, I'm just looking forward to see what @ScorchMuffins will make of this B)

So ye. Sorry for the rant. Everything else was pretty rad :y

Actually in the Hyrule Warriors guide book, Linkle had a design sketch but wasn't put in the game. Well, here she is now

Who's Linkle?

Deku_Sage

13 Nov, 2015, 1:09 am

A fairly new addition to the COMPLETELY ORIGINAL legion of gender bent Links, but in an actual game. That is who Linkle is.

13 Nov, 2015, 9:37 am

Oh... well xD
I love HW, but it's way to fanservice imo... every chara are playable, hot and cool (Ok, that is actually awesome xD). but yes, a female link, and let's not forget about Cia... her cutscene when you fight her... she looks like those girls who are in fight games! "B00BS BUTT $EXY BOOOOBS" well, that's how I feel when I see her cutscene xD and it annoy me cuz I love cya ;o;
is Linkle available now? I hope she's free... T-T I don't want to pay again xD

Deku_Sage

13 Nov, 2015, 9:46 am

^ Lmao <xDD So true about those girls in fighting games TTvTT They always confused me when I was little, why they would fight dressed like that xDDD And while I love Cia, and her design(as an artist), I have to agree that it's soo fan servicey TToTT And between Lana, Agitha, and now Linkle, It's like LolitaCon up in here <x'DD I dunno if she's DLC or if she comes with the new game tho. I'll probs try her out anyway -w-''

nanyalan-

13 Nov, 2015, 10:55 am

yes I'm sad that Cia is so fan service, because she's sooo awesome... I love her character and design too- I cried at the end of HW...;w; I really like her...;w;
and yes you're right about linkle, lana and aghita xD but I guess it's cool to have cute characters too x3 (even tho I don't really like using lana and aghita...xD)
I can't wait to try Linkle xD

just asking, who's the chara that you use the most in HW?:D

Deku_Sage

13 Nov, 2015, 11:23 am

Yeah, Cia's awesome! >FT< She reminds me of Veran xD
And yeah, cute characters are great, but I'll never stop wanting Groose. He's way too great, and has alot of potential :O
My favorites are a tie between Link and Young Link <xD Link, because he's familiar and the 8-bit sword rocks, and Young Link because the DEITY MASK IS EPIC <xD Plus, he has good speed, and is adorable xD But I also play as Zelda alot ovo)/

Deku_Sage

13 Nov, 2015, 11:25 am

Oh! Nyasis! I've been meaning to ask! Have you played as Tingle yet? <xDD When I first tried him out,I got soooo many K.O.'s so quickly, and leveled up like seven times xDD I was laughing so hard because it reminded me of our old conversations with Tingle in them as the most powerful being in the universe xDDDDD

nanyalan-

13 Nov, 2015, 12:21 pm

SAME!!!!!!x'DDDDDDD When I saw that he was playable, it made me think of our conversation, and when I tried him.... wow. He's exaclty like in our conversation x'D SO POWERFUL!!xD He's the ultimate fighter x'D and have you seen his final attack with magic? it's.... a kiss x'DDDDD I always die when I see it x'D

Cia makes me think of Veran too!!!! and I love both of them- *^*
I LOVE child Link too. he's the chara I use the most with Fi- they're both powerful imo *^*

And ikr? I was thinking of Groose too! I also d'love to see Vaati and Ravio in HW- Idk, I want Ravio in this game xD I actually want every LoZ chara in this game xD

Deku_Sage

13 Nov, 2015, 11:59 pm

Yes, he's amazing xDDD I can't stop laughing when I play him xDD Young Link is pretty rad too, tho B) But Fi is so weak in my game cos I don't play as her much :'D

But omg I'd love to play as Ravio <xDD I think about alot of characters I'd love to play as, like the other OoT sages x3 But there's a problem with people like Ravio and Linebeck... they're too scared to fight! <xD So I'm fine if I can't play as them -v-

HONESTLY, everyone seems to dislike the name, it was never great. But, I actually think its slightly endearing for how stupid it sounds.

but her design and gameplay? Not...feeling it, shes boring looking and her moves dont impress at all so far. But hyrule warriors IMPA for example is....FU**IN BAD AS SHET, shes literally the ****in coolest in every single way.
on that note, id rather play as IMPA in a canon zelda, and i just wish linkle was just ARYLL.
but fans really really wanted this and it happened, so, oh well i guess.

ZenkaiPawa

14 Nov, 2015, 2:04 am

And yeah, HW actually has a larger female cast, which I like, and is refreshing and felt obvious for the game, 5 main girls, midna, zelda, shiek, impa, and lana. not counting ruto, cia, and agitha.
so why NO GROOSE? WHYYYYY

I dont care anyways because we get tetra, and shes the best.

Deku_Sage

Starman Super-- IMDYING xDDDD

Deku_Sage

14 Nov, 2015, 5:40 am

ScorchMuffins-- Yeaaah, Linkle is probably one of the better feminine variants of the name Link I've heard so far, but that's not too much of an issue. While we all know Tetra is pretty much the best, Impa is a total boss that we've all wanted to play as since like '98, and in general, having more females in games is a cool thing, but I'm not among the thousands of feminists who demand it. If I get to play as a guys, that's cool. If I get to play as a girl, that's cool too. But must we take an existing character(that I respect alot btw), and take away his gender? o-o Hate to make it sound like a bad thing, but making an original female character worked out pretty well when they made Lana. Basically, the only thing I'm annoyed with in video games is the damsel in distress, and as long as Zelda's holding her own, I don't need there to be a whole hoard of excuses to add female characters.

As for Groose... he's just awesome and there just wasn't enough of him in Skyward Sword xDD

Hummbirds

15 Nov, 2015, 6:58 am

I was a little like, "really?" when she was revealed, too, but after listening to some gamexplain it seems that they're really trying to give her her own story and not just a "female Link." I don't think anyone is ever going to view her as anything otherwise, but at least it seems like they're trying? And really, the name Linkle in itself just gets on my nerves...

Deku_Sage

18 Nov, 2015, 7:47 am

^ Yeah, I was really hoping she would at least get her own story/background, but either way, I just felt like the concept would always be the same. Like I said, excuses, excuses -n-
