Why exactly did Link become such an iconic character?

Link is the perfect genderless self-insert or gaze character that suites all player's tastes and preferences regardless of sexuality or gender identity.

> Long blond hair, blue eyes, slender build, clean clear skin with no facial hair - all attributes female and feminine players desire to have for themselves.
> Canonically identifies as male.
> Canonically a crossdresser.
> Feminine enough to appeal to male gamers who prefer to play feminine characters in games.
> Carries a sword and shield and saves princesses so male players won't feel insecure about their own sexuality when playing as him.

You know you want the bussy, user. Just embrace it.

I mean I do, but did you see that gif of that dudes prolapsed asshole that someone kept posting all week? That was horrifying and I want nothing to do with it.

There's no need to be so insecure.

I see. So you aren't a human.

>user falls to the 3D trap
many such cases, sad

I'm glad I didn't see that.

And they do it TWICE EVERY WEEK?!

This. You know what? I'll go ahead and say it. I really hate how internet coomers turned link and cloud into gaybois. Their existence was all about going on a big, epic adventure to fight against the odds. Especially Link.

Despite them being less masculine than the average 80s power fantasy hero, a decision made to make these characters to be more relatable to the younger generations back then, their journeys required balls and its undertaking is as masculine as it can get.
I hate coomers and the companies that want their money for castrating these two iconic characters. Every time I come across to "lewd" pics of link/cloud, I feel sad because I grew up with these games; almost like a father that has lost his son to jewish propaganda and cant do nothing about it.
>But original ff7 featured crossdressing cloud
Yeah that was a 10min scene and it was there as an obscure jap joke, but now that scene has turned into a complete chapter celebrating the cloud for turning fag. Fuck this

Link and Cloud weren't designed to be more relatable to young lads, they were designed to be more attractive to girls. Its not coincidence they're both blond and "pretty boys". And it worked, they have legions of fangirls lusting after their non threatening yet strong vibe. The Japs just didnt account for gays because why would they. They understood back then that there are more girls than gays and you market to the bigger audience. Boys were a given and were always gonna buy a game about a guy with a cool sword regardless

Unchecked degeneracy disgusting please go outside for a week
