Quote:The Legend of Zelda protagonist named "Hottest Video Game Character" by gay and lesbian monthly Out.

The Legend of Zelda series has won numerous awards in its near two-decade run, but one magazine is calling out the game's hero, the boyish elf Link, as a perfect 10. The June issue of Out, a magazine focusing on gay and lesbian culture, named the green-leotard-wearing hero as the Hottest Video Game Character in its "What's Hot Now" section for his role in the upcoming GameCube and Wii release, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

From the mag: "When darkness enshrouds the land, Nintendo's sexy farm-boy-turned-wolf sets out to save the day in this upcoming game. His weapons: a sword, a bow, arrows, and kick-ass grooming skills."

This isn't the first time Link has been associated with gay culture--he was the inspiration for Xandir P. Wifflebottom, the homosexual video game character in Comedy Central's Drawn Together.

Gay characters have largely been passed over by game designers, with many leading men and ladies being the prototypical alpha male or buxom sexpot. The Sims, Fable, and a few others allow same-sex marriages, but most games fail to even broach the issue.

AHAHAHAH this is great XD Now I can say "well The Legend of Zelda is better cause it's gay and lesbian approved!"

Well you gotta admit that leotard is hot Stick Out Tongue

**Lynk Former** · 5 June 2006, 5:04 AM

You know I'm actually surprised, I thought all of the Final Fantasy characters would be the ones to be mentioned.... I mean it is full of prettyboys and all, but then again they all look "airbrushed" lol.

Very true

I could definitely see them picking FF over Link though.

As I've said on other forums, he _is_ hot. Yeah, you can gather what I mean by that for your self Wink

spectre · 10 June 2006, 12:59 PM

also I think his delicate features (look at that perfectly sculpted nose, that gently pointed chin, those feathery ears) and hair add to the effect.

InsaneSith · 10 June 2006, 1:09 PM

If I were a cgi person, I'd hit it.

Well, when I first looked at Link, I thought he was a she. I guess those androgenous features really do mean something afterall.

**Lynk Former** · 10 June 2006, 9:04 PM

The feminine features come from the fact that Link and every other Hylian are elvish kinda people.

Maverick · 11 June 2006, 2:18 AM

*shrugs* To me they doesn't look hot at all

**Lynk Former** · 11 June 2006, 12:23 PM

Maybe cause you're not gay Mav lol.

Maverick · 11 June 2006, 12:44 PM

you have a point XD

spectre · 12 June 2006, 12:08 PM

It may also have to do with the fact that you live in argentina. And you know what they say about girls from argentina...

Maverick · 12 June 2006, 5:06 PM

I have no clue, enlight me please Big Grin

**Lynk Former** · 12 June 2006, 5:16 PM

He's suggesting that Argentina is full of hot chicks, but different people say that kind of thing about different countries so he's not really basing it on anything lol Big Grin

spectre · 13 June 2006, 8:02 AM

yeah. I'm pretty clever about this sort of thing. I also use that "...and you know what they say about..." construction really often nowadays...for whatever reason.

InsaneSith · 13 June 2006, 10:38 AM

I blame the drug abuse.

Maverick · 13 June 2006, 11:45 AM

lol xD I really don't have a clue about what foreing people say about us in general, afraid to ask I guess Stick Out Tongue

Lynk Wrote:He's suggesting that Argentina is full of hot chicks

**Lynk Former** · 13 June 2006, 12:01 PM

And Austrailians say we have hot chicks here. What's your point? lol

Maverick · 13 June 2006, 2:15 PM

I meant that's what we say, not they...................bleah forget it

PJ-Animation · 14 June 2006, 2:35 AM

Why am I not surprised about this at all?

Really? Why? I don't know, but I'm not surprised at all.

Kiai · 15 June 2006, 1:48 PM

GUESS WHO'S GOING TO AUSTRALIA IN AUGUST! TINDEL HERE I COME! Oh yeah, and I'd totally bang Tifa if it came down to it...

**darktruth** · 15 June 2006, 1:50 PM

Make a note to take a trip down to Melbourne lol, you can hunt down Lynk after his affair with you.

**Blue Confusion** · 15 June 2006, 2:28 PM

Now that I'd like to see XD

**Lynk Former** · 15 June 2006, 3:12 PM

Which one? Kim doing Tifa or the affair involving me?

Seph · 15 June 2006, 5:48 PM

Sounds like he's reffering to your affair Lynk.

Guess nintendo's got quite the Character,

Guys like him because he's bad ass

Girls like him because they like him, and he's baddass

Kiai · 15 June 2006, 8:42 PM
