In this case, going your own way means following tradition. The 'hip' and PC thing to do right now would be to cave in to SJW (and neckbeard) demands and make Link a woman for no other reason than to appease them. This is what I am against.
NATE has this correct. There's no reason to change a gaming icon thirty years later due to misplaced pressure. We already know girls can be heroes, we have Samus.

You're assuming ulterior motives that you haven't proven to exist.
"Misplaced pressure" lol.
Anyway, another, more obvious solution is to have the option to choose between a male and female Link at the start of the game. This makes the likelihood of Link's gender being a big deal much smaller.
I mean really, other than muh tradition, why not? It's ****ing harmless.

We also don't have female Link currently, so no, I guess those motives do not currently exist at Nintendo in any observable way, which is good. Nintendo has always done their own thing regardless of what people say, and that gives me hope.
And we already spoke about having the option at the beginning of the game to choose, and you know I'd be fine with that, because by definition the plot has to be the same for both characters, so that would be fine as long as the only thing that changes is pronouns.
It's not 'muh tradition', it's 'keep destructive, agenda pushing narrative wank out of media I enjoy'
This game actually looks decent. I'd love to argue Dragon Age Inquisition vs. Zelda Wii U in the future. Dragon Age is such a badass fictional universe. Love to see Corypheus rape Ganondorf and Hyrule's fatass.
What the f*ck, some ass holes are seeing this and bitching about the graphics. My 8 yr. old self wants to leap forward in time and beat them to death with my SNES "Link to the Past" cartridge.
Game looks great.

It basically looks how Zelda should look. It has that look and feel of it.

Probably the stuttering frame-rate. Reminds me of Shadow of the Colossus, and we all know how that game was received.
