"Link looks gay!"

I played on the wind waker last night for a little bit and it struck me how camp Link looks and acts when cell shaded. The colours make him look like a small fat version of Hey Arnold. Also he runs and tiptoes around like a damn fairy - cell shading has killed the looks of the game I recon. If you check out the back of the game cover you see the wind waker graphics on the left and the ocarina of time graphics on the right - the graphics on hte right are far superiour and make Link look a bit less gay (even in the picture where he is playing the ocarina/eating a blue taco).

However the gold coloured disc and bonus disc are nice touches and the storyline and gameplay seems excellent so far. I honestly recon the graphics don't work but maybe cell shading is the way of the future. At the risk of sounding like a whiney old man, I shall flee now and prepare to be manhunted by all you Nintys.

oh and i must add that the original link only wore those green clothes because he grew up amonst the kokri, soooo, that means the kokri would in-fact be the gey ones. (who seem to be getting intimate with inanimate objects in OoT...)

This concludes that the windwaker is wearing kokri clothes in TRADITION to the orignal link wearing them, and has nothing to do with his style or sexuality.

Does it matter that its not link and that there not his real clothes?

The guy in the windwaker is just a young boy whos sister got snatcted away by a bird commanded by an ancient evil...

So it happens that he just turned the same age as link when he started his quest to defeat ganon and he had to wear green clothes for 1 day as a tradition.

Call link gay if you want, but the windwaker is not link.

I have been playing it for most of today, and though it is controversial, I do believe these graphics are better than OOT.

BEARDS (and, well, many others) have made good points that the amazingly 'realistic' games are bad replicas of life. So to escape to a completely magical world is better than an attempt at real life.

Plus, this game is not just 3 simple colours (red, yellow, blue) as a few people have mentioned. That is plain stupid.

The huge boss of Dragon Roost, I believe, is one of the most stunning things I've seen in any gamer. Ever.

God Save .. Shigeru :D

Zelda is the best.

Face it.

RPG's have stats and chances to hit, if Link got exp points after every fight it would be an RPG.

Nobody ever said I had to be consitent.

Come on.
If you saw a little blond-haired, big-eyes, green-suit 'n' hat wearin' pixie prancing around in stockings and pointy shoes wouldn't you think him a little camp at least? Real life or cartoon?

It's a game, you're playing a role.

All games are RPGs in some way or another. Except maybe Puzzle games.
