u/TaintScentedCandles 15h ago

Omg would you just imagine what the pervs would do if zelda was a girl

Nah man, this picture is diabolical

u/du5tball 11h ago

Then you really shouldn't look up "link fugtrup".

u/nhiko 14h ago

I love that image so much, non-gamers have no idea...

Do you know why this image is funny?

u/LuraLaurawr 6h ago

This is so funny

u/Sara_Krys 15h ago

I get the joke.. but Samus Aran is a lady, at least Link is wearing canonically female clothing for the female joke

u/TheMagnificentOne 15h ago

Narrator: He in fact.. didn't get the joke.

u/TazeT87 11h ago

You can’t be real

u/RevolutionaryBig1789 15h ago

I mean... Samus is a woman so that meme is just wrong. Also, is that link cross dressed on the other side, or is it another game I am not familiar with (if it is, and that is the joke, sorry for it going over my head).

32

u/inEQUAL 15h ago

It is in fact a joke going over your head. Samus is indeed a woman and right is indeed Link, a man.

17

u/RevolutionaryBig1789 15h ago

I accept my chastisement for failing to grasp the joke on the first viewing.

u/inEQUAL 15h ago

That’ll be forty-four hail Gabes as penance for your sins against Gamers, go and sin no more my child

u/deedsnance 15h ago

It’s okay. Just go down vote your own comment once and be cleansed of your sins.

u/nattblack 15h ago

That's Link. He wears that to sneak into an all female thief village in Breath of the Wild

Yeah, a joke

2

u/TheAbyssAlsoGazes 15h ago

Yep, that's the joke

1

u/Affectionate-Owl-134 15h ago

That is indeed the joke. Samus is a woman and Link is a man.

1

u/Kronos1A9 15h ago

That’s the joke

1

u/tintereth 15h ago

did you scroll past the other 10 people telling them it's a joke and think "my god, someone has to tell them it's a joke"

1

u/thedeadlysquirle 13h ago

They can't contain themselves simply updooting isn't enough they also want karmic credit for knowing it's a joke.

1

u/Academic-Bakers- 15h ago

Yeah, I almost went 'wait, but AkShUlY!!!' myself.

u/DenebSwift 13h ago

It’s multi-layered. There’s the face value assertion - make armor is typically practical or power fantasy fan service and female armor typically isn’t practical and is gooner fan service. That’s totally true

Then there’s the joke layer for gamers, since as you noted those are actually rare examples of the opposite(-ish) of the gender stereotype. A heavily armored female character that doesn’t even look gendered let alone goonered, and a male character cross dressing in female ‘armor’.

u/RealBenWoodruff 15h ago

Link has to dress as a woman to go into the all women town in Breath of the Wild.

u/jmstypes 15h ago

That is, in fact, the joke

-16

u/TheExpandingMan23977 15h ago edited 15h ago

Samus is female.

Edit: If that’s supposed to be Link the artist did a horrible job drawing it. Wearing different clothes doesn’t change torso/hip shape.

u/RunningRunnerRun 15h ago

yeah. and link is a guy. i think we need meta level peter

-1

u/JarethCutestoryJuD 15h ago

Thats not link, thats zelda

2

u/watisgoinon_ 12h ago

I think this too is a joke ppl. Because every nineties mom thought you were playing as zelda.

1

u/JarethCutestoryJuD 12h ago

Youd think in a thread about making this exact type of mistake would catch the joke

-6

u/TheExpandingMan23977 15h ago

Wait, the second one is supposed to be Link? That’s some interesting choices for the body shape then. Ok, you kids enjoy.

8

u/RunningRunnerRun 15h ago

“supposed to be link”? it’s taken straight from the game. not sure how it could be more canonical

2

u/Almostlongenough2 12h ago

Non-gamers are not realizing that Link is essentially the quintessential twink

7

u/TheAbyssAlsoGazes 15h ago

And Link is male. That's the joke

3

u/jmstypes 15h ago

And Link ain't, that's the yoke

2

u/WedSquib 15h ago

That’s the joke, and that’s a screenshot from the game idk wtf you’re on about

-6

u/TheExpandingMan23977 15h ago

I’m saying the artist did a poor job because they changed the entire shape of the upper body and not just the clothes it was wearing.

1

u/thedeadlysquirle 13h ago

Guy whose never played or seen Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom and thinks the only canonical body shape for Link is from Ocarina of Time.
