I want to say there was a NES (or maybe SNES?) game that had a pink haired lady protagonist and it was almost like final fantasy and zelda combined.

There's a lot of them, but you might be thinking of Faria, though the pink haired female-presenting protagonist was a man.

All video games starring children are for pedophiles, even the ones made for children.

Lol must've touched a nerve with the Nintendo fans. I'm just saying those games would be MUCH better if you were a kickass lady who didn't take the poo poo from the rapey NPCs!! Instead it's just creepy. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Also like Link is only explicitly a child in, what, five games? Otherwise he's either a teenager or young adult.

BlankSystemDaemon posted:I would absolutely play a game with a female Link rescuing a male Zelda. There was a Japanese game for, uh, NES I think that starts out with a male knight delving into a dungeon to rescue a princess being held captive by a demon lord. Then the knight gets killed in the intro sequence and the princess has to self-rescue. I love the idea of gamers playing blind and being really surprised.

Not the same thing, but the Samus reveal caught people by surprise. She was referred to as "He" in a lot of places, including an early comic strip thing that had Samus fangirls in bikinis. And a weird piece of art with Samus as a guy in a bubble helmet that was for a never made animated series. The Captain N comic that ran back in the day had the reveal as a surprise too, guess he never finished Metroid fast enough. Some game master he was. Jazerus posted:btw what's up with people who think that if you play a video game you are "roleplaying" as the main character There are huge arguments about this re: Persona 5. People who think you're RPing as Joker think the relationships with adult confidants are weird, people who think you're an adult playing a video game about teenagers think the Futaba relationship is weird. I'm not sure which side can be creepier about it.

If you got to the end of the game in the Mach Rider arcade version, it revealed that Mach Rider was a woman.

He's really only a teen in OoT, TP, SS and BOTW. It'd argue that the LTTP/LA/Oracle Link is a pretty young teen which I'd still consider a child, unless you're going off of Katsuya Terada's art where he looks to be the oldest he's ever been.
