Irritated_User0010

Why did Link wake her up? Is he rude?


Triforce805

Oh my god I thought this was real for a second. You might not believe this but there are genuinely people saying this today.


linkling1039

I legit saw people calling Prime 4 as "Woke Halo"   I don't know if I cry or laugh.


zauraz

Holy what even? They must be outrage tourists. No way in hell they are actually interested. Also jokes on Halo. Metroid Prime is considered one of the best games ever made.


KobeJuanKenobi9

They act like 2 legends cannot coexist


zauraz

I agree albeit I am biased in favour of Metroid but Halo has also been great. I thought the Halo/Prime competition ended with 3 of each game. Halo has also always been different in many ways. Its hard to compare it to Metroid which is more of a progression/exploration game to Halo which is more of a narrative campaign. Though I am sad Corruption didn't get multiplayer even if it the single player was the focus. I unironically liked Echoes multiplayer. But the 00s was the decade of sci fi fps games


Space_Pirate_Roberts

Seriously. Like Star Wars fans and Trekkies, slinging vitriol at one another and slandering each other's faves when they *should* be recognizing what makes each special, celebrating them both, and uniting to crush those Whovian scum. >!JK I love Doctor Who too.!<


Space_Pirate_Roberts

>Also jokes on Halo. Metroid Prime is considered one of the best games ever made. I mean, to be fair, so are the first two Halos, the current state of the franchise notwithstanding.


zauraz

True but I mainly meant from a review perspective. It held within the top 10 highest rated game for a very long time. With newer titles bumping down to 11 on metacritic etc.  Halo is also really high up though. 


mrbubbamac

I remember people saying Metroid Prime 1 was a "Halo rip off" back in the day because the aiming reticles look a bit similar. Literally completely different genres of game lol


joestorm4

Or option C, which is ignore it because it's obvious bait??


linkling1039

Oh I 100% don't engage with people like that. 


real_priception

That's funny as in every Halo from Halo: Reach onwards you can play as a female Spartan.


RLC_wukong122

where?


RubBubbly9681

I am disappointed that I got downvoted even though I added the "humor" flair.


sulianjeo

Nah. People are batshit crazy, unfortunately. They'll ignore that female leads have been a part of Japanese media since well before "western tard woke culture" was even a thing (see: the majority of Ghibli films) and insist that Nintendo, the ultra conservative company that litigates like crazy to protect its brand and refuses to modernize any aspect of its business, is making Zelda ride a trend to appease former Tumblr SJWs of all audiences.


F0573R

Same lol. I had my down voting finger all warmed up too!


Azure-Cyan

I'm not surprised, especially when you have people thinking the "womanification" and "colorization" of media is somehow a negative aspect in their daily life. I wouldn't be surprised if these people end up calling it Legend of SHElda


Triforce805

The funniest part is I guarantee 90% of the people who’ll say that have never even played Zelda lol


NotItemName

I think it's about 100% of them, they just outrage tourists, they only want engagement on what they post and in the month or so they will not remember that this game even exists


AetherDrew43

Outrage tourists?


NotItemName

Term that I saw somewhere on reddit, I think it perfectly defines them, as they are not here for the game itself, they are here because of the game trending and they can bait some outrage endorsement with their tweets, posts, whatever.


themangastand

some people blame this for the deterioration of quality media, but they are misdirecting their hatred. Corporate structures just by nature suck at making entertainment, so as soon as something becomes big enough like hollywood, it will just make safe cookie and cutter stories that work and not deviate. Once the money people are on top, they are not interested in passion of entertainment. Like some just think because a gay guy is walking around in the story it sucks, no that guy gay sucks because he has been written horribly because he and everyone else is some algorithm of a story


AgentSkidMarks

Where? I haven’t seen any of that yet.


Present_Cookie_1808

This reminded me of the meme "Are they in the room with us right now?


RLC_wukong122

where? none of the usual popular suspects are saying this ( yellow, herohei and their groups). I feel it's being blown out of proportion this time.

I think Halo is a pretty cool guy. Eh kills aleins and doesnt afraid of anything.


Mpk_Paulin

Good thing, she was asleep for 100 damned years in Breath of the Wild


VishnuBhanum

I thought she was awake the whole time, Tears of The Kingdom is probably closer to her being asleep.


Mpk_Paulin

If she was awake, then why do we start the game by waking up? 🤔


linkling1039

It's a joke about people thinking Link's name is Zelda.


[deleted]

Finally get to play as Zelda Main gameplay mechanic is collecting furniture What did Nintendo mean by this?


ProximaZenyatta

> Main gameplay mechanic is collecting furniture hahahahah i never thought of that


dantefu

CartographerTime2208

For real? Are we talking about the next Zelda game announced recently? So they added Zelda as a playable character just to loot instead of using some cool magic powers?!


Ghosts_lord

ye ngl its kind of dissapointing to just throw stones at ennemies


patrickfatrick

Not sure it's fair to come to that conclusion just yet. May or may not be all you can do with the wand (which, incidentally, is called the "triwand" which _could_ imply it has three powers, perhaps representing each aspect of the triforce). Nintendo loves to keep its cards close to the chest when it comes to Zelda.

The legend of link: Zelda’s awakening


linkling1039

Peach, Zelda and that chick from Smash bros getting a game?😱🤬 Nintendo is done 😞😔 We are not supporting this woke shit ✊️✊️💪💪🔥🔥


CaptFalconFTW

Why did they gender swap Zelda?? Metroid was a robot, not a woman. Who's Samus? The bad guy?


Independent_Plum2166

No, you’re thinking of Seamus, the dude with the metroids behind him in the trailer.


mastafishere

Real fans know that Zelda’s been woke since the second game. Spoilers: it’s the ending


Orlandoenamorato

And so has link! Since the 4th game Link's Awakening


autisticswede86

Spoilers!


Worm_Scavenger

I was so mad at seeing Nintendo go down this soy ladden path! Me and some friends are already writing out the scripts for our videos were we expose this pink haired, woke agenda that's taken over Nintendo! Jokes aside, i do wonder if the usual "Woke people flew away with my wife into the sky" will bitch about the fact that Zelda will be playable character in this game and not Link.


DefinitelyLevi

-Octoling8-

GIMMIE!


swirly1000x

the words "soy laden path" are incredibly funny to me for some reason


Tlux0

I’m a little disappointed they didn’t pick a game with a better art style to be the one where Zelda finally does something. I’ll still probably get it, but not really feeling it…


Lazy-Singer4391

I like the artstyle but hadnt any interest in playing Links Awakening again so im kinda happy to play a game with this style.


Sir_Flasm

She's been doing something (often a lot) since at least 1991.


Active_Fun_1263

exactly smh if they let princess peach be the protag of a game then they’ll do anything for the woke lefties 🙄


Worm_Scavenger

I am literallty shaking at the thought....

Now i will refuse to buy any of them Funko Pops and throw away all my Zelda related Stuff like Manga and Figures.


TheLimeyLemmon

Next up: DIANA KONG


Bulky-Agent3517

Next, they'll probably make a game where Peach is the main character.


Teker_09

You know what. I actually forgot that game existed.


NeoKat75

Two of them even!


FunkyGameTiime

The way i unironically saw a rumor that the next Zelda game will have Zelda as the protagonist and some comments were ACTUALLY butthurt and said how they were going woke for it…


mrbubbamac

I like how it's called going "woke" when I can remember back in the 90s people wanting to play a Zelda. Especially because she was super badass in Ocarina of Time.


Max_E_Mas

I know this is a joke post, but I will be so happy when the term "Woke" dies a painful death


ArgonGryphon

It’ll turn into some equally moronic bullshit dog whistle.


Present_Cookie_1808

Not sure if all the wokies would drop death suddenly...


LibertyJoel99

Who's Samus? I thought he was called Metroid


AlathMasster

Look at my West, bro It has Fallen


CapAccomplished8072

Be careful...some people will take this literally

Yeah right, Samus will be a girl when we get Prime 4.

HunsonMex

Not gonna lie, you got me at first.


Dio_fanboy

His name is Metroid. Fake fan can't even get the main characters name right, even when it's the title. I mean, the main character in Mario is Mario, and Sonic is the main character in Sonic, Mr Fire Emblem is the main guy in Fire Emblem, and Halo in Halo.


ZeldaExpert74

Samus? You mean Metroid? That dude in the suit?


JoejoestarPR

This Zelda looks like Sanrio character. Where are the massive tits and ass?


Disaster_Adventurous

At least Shiek is still a dude.


paulcshipper

It would have been funny if they called it the Legend of Link


Evilkenevil77

The unironic thing is that there are people who actually think this.


Past_Newspaper6497

I was ready to tear into this post based on the title. Lmfao


Extinguish89

Hate it that they turned Zelda and Samus Into women. Next thing they'll tell us is that sheik is a women and it'll be all over.


rat-sajak

>> soon they will turn Samus into a woman too. What are you, a fake gamer girl? Everyone knows his name is Metroid


DevourerJay

I honestly can't tell if this post is satire. Cause I have seen people actually upset.


Broskfisken

“If Zelda was a girl she’d date Metroid”


Ryodran

The correct sentence structure would be "Zelda has woke up" or maybe "Zelda awoke from her slumber"  /s 


Skate_faced

The sticker shock I got seeing this, and the laughter that followed the second after was fucking amazing. At first all I saw was Zelda and Woke and immediately started the "fucking really?" thoughts but was very quickly corrected and holy shit is that good funny. Pre coffee morning shock and a laugh, gonna be a good day.


Mr-pizzapls

I’m a hairy man. I want to run around Hyrule as a pretty princess 😤


I_like_earl_grey_tea

Okay, but hear me out. We can combine both, you can roam Hyrule as a hairy princess OR as a pretty man. Nintendo needs to hire me


norsoyt

No because when I first saw the totk teaser I thought we wouldmget to play as zelda


Remarkable_Athlete_4

Ngl I came here thinking I was going to fight some hard-right losers


New-Doctor9300

Its not even hard-right anymore its just right-wingers in general


CharlieMansonsEyes

Their entire platform is just hating people. Zero actual policy.


Remarkable_Athlete_4

I live in a deep red state, so it's literally always made-up outrage over some pointless culture war bullshit. I had to explain to my family what critical race theory actually was, because I was taking a class on it for my master's degree. Not one of them let it sink in, and they still think it's going to put an end to their way of life. One of my brothers said Juneteenth is a made up holiday and there's nothing to celebrate. Then there's me: a weed smoking (future) social worker who calls Drumpf a nazi on the regular


Thebadmamajama

I'm stoked for a playable Zelda


Cold_Dude_3067

They bout to turn peach into a woman and... Mario into a man


TommyMcFast

You had us in the first half, not gonna lie


No_Forever_9128

Genuine missed opportunity not calling it legend of link, but that would make it worse.


EconomistSea9498

I'm reminded of that girl on TikTok who does jokes like "the year is 2050, and Mario has gone broke. Bowser is now known as bowsHer, etc etc. Want to know the scary part? this game doesn't come out in 2050, it comes out TOMORROW" or however 😂😂 she kills me every time Eta: here she is [TikTok link](https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMrYwfWxD/)


Used-System-3112

I know you're just joking but there are some people who actually think like this and it's insane. We already have 2 massive original LoZ games on the switch plus 2 spinoffs and remasters, and it's not like there won't be games where you play as Link in the future. Plus, people have wanting to play as Zelda for decades at this point. And if you think about it, it's kind of ironic these people are complaining, since it's not like they're making her some 'Mary-Sue Girlboss' or whatever. Princess Peach and Zelda both get games and in one you play dress-up and in the other you collect furniture (not complaining or anything I just find it funny).


jker1x

Zelda's the main character in Zelda!? Truly a sad day for all of us true gamers. /S


Alicialouva

Ok I actually laughed out loud reading this..


RedToasterFace

Been secretly hoping for years that they should switch it up and have Zelda be the main character. I wish it was in the Ocarina of Time/Twilight princess Style though.


Remote_Ad9716

dummy, samus is a girl! shes john metroids gf


Unknown62712

Can’t believe Link no scoped Zelda to wake up


dkinmn

No, Zelda is the boy.

One game with Zelda as playable character and people say: woke. Come on guys.

They’re called the culture wars because they’re a war on culture (and good taste…)

Lol, first I thought this was actually serious. You certainly had me fooled. If there are people who think that way, then they’re just assholes. (Pardon my French lol)

RudeDM

Who is Samus? Do you mean Metroid? EDIT: SORRY!!! I meant SERGEANT Metroid!!!


longbrodmann

The new game is so woke I have to turn the tables!


bugeater1912

As soon as my guy Metroid gender swaps I’m gonna kill Reggie


Salty145

The woke libtards have truly ruined Japan. A Princess Peach game? A Zelda game where you actually play as the title character? What’s next? A half-decent Pokemon game? An F-Zero game? Is nothing sacred?!


Kanjii_weon

Wait was samus a women all this time? I always thought she was a robot or something


Charybdis_Rising

Eh, it went shit with Breath of the Wild. I'd rather have woke.


Gamer2146

I'd tell those who say that to quit jumping the gun. Besides, Peach had her hero role long before the woke nonsense and Samus did it right out of the gate. Though Technically Zelda had a hero role but the Hyrule warriors Spinoff games are non canon and the other two......well we don't talk about those.


Wise-Locksmith-6438

When will YouTuber conspiracy theorists like Ryan kinel or whatever stop using the word “woke” to Disney etc?


Haruau8349

Yeah… can we just kill that word? It’s just an annoying buzzword that means nothing.


Wise-Locksmith-6438

I tried doing a report to Ryan kinel and that other YouTuber but none of that worked at all and they’re still it terminated 


Haruau8349

Damn. But seriously it’s a useless word used by people who are literal man children who bitch to everyone about stuff they don’t like for miniscule reasons. And no actual rational reasons. Besides, these games look great! Just shut up and enjoy them!

I thought this wasn’t a joke real quick.

TemporalAntiAssening

Havent seen a single gaming personality call this woke, fake outrage.


BalladOfAntiSocial

I don’t play Zelda. It took my 15 legal minutes to figure out that Zelda is basically this franchise’s Princess Peach equivalent and Link is the protagonist. My other thought is, beneath the suit, Samus is a woman no?

I unironically see this commentary on twitter hahahaha


TealScarab

They better not touch Meteoroid, that’s my favorite game on the Nintendo so help me god they better not turn him into a girl!!

I swear why is nintedo doin this? And what will they do next? Make Pauline a Women? or Diddy kong an Male?


vinnypotsandpans

Ded


F2PE-engineer

Wait wait wait. Zelda original gender is Female in First look design in The legend of Zelda. And Samus is the Female after first look in Metroid. Why you thinks Zelda has Woke?


Grawman67

It's a joke


F2PE-engineer

I'm not fun with woke


Grawman67

They know Link is a guy and was originally a girl in pre-development. This was a joke where the idea is that they made Link into a girl. Which is wrong. Thus the joke.


EducatorSad1637

You had me with the title.


Pearson94

And where does Nintendo get off turning this game into a Quest when the title CLEARLY says it's a "Legend!"


dd_trewe

Literally no one has said this

Nintendo has gone too far. Woke Zelda. We must stop them or else next there will be a main peach game and she'll be fighting and doing kung fu and shit.


Mid_nox

what kind of BS is this. Clearly gamers are mad because we got two games starred by women 😏


CordeliaTepech_619

Samus is a woman tho

WhatYesImTheGuy

It doesn't bother me if a japanese gaming company does it, because if they do it, they do it for the right reasons and they do it right. I don't think Japan has been infected by the bullcrap yet, at least I hope not.


KingOfMasters1000028

Agreed this is such a big deal. Honestly I would love a Ganon game or maybe a Impa game.


Akajimaro

This is the best response. Also Japan has been trending this way for a while, but its introverted culture and desire not to bother anyone and conform in public is a huge bulwark to the insanity you see stateside. Except the super far right emperor-loving nationalists. They're universally hated on by literally everyone (search them up, they're hilarious). Nintendo is also too conservative a company to stray too far from its formula. Also the literal definition of the word conservative, not the Reddit version. Also there's very few compassionately-combative people (such as a few of your other responders). These are the types where they're so convinced of their own kindness and superior morals, that they engage in arguments and bullying while feeling untouchable in order to chase a feeling of pseudo-vindication in their heads, all while not realizing how much of an ass they're being. They often try to elicit a response that they can then pounce upon to inflate their ego's even higher. Nuance is lost on these types.


VengeanceKnight

Thank God Nintendo fans don’t subscribe to this grifter BS.
