When Kotaku first saw the concept art and game footage, they really didn’t have much to go on. Now, with Linkle’s debut appearance in the recently released Hyrule Warriors Legends, They know now - she’s far more than just “girl Link.”
I (Robin Ek, TGG) just found out that there is a "Haydee" mod that allows you to play as a thicc and nude version of Linkle from "Hyrule Warriors Legends".
If you ask for a female version of a character you have to accept that these are one of the many results you unknowingly asked for ;)
It was bound to happen, especially since "Haydee" is a PC game (the PC mod community is HUGE, no pun intended).
That ain't 'thicc', just oversexualizing with 'Model' + Boob job, it's a sad fetishization that really takes no effort.
1) Get Game Waifu you like
2) Make nude and gigantify tits unrealistically
3) ???
4) Self-profit.
I just don't see why people would get off to such a thing, there's far better 'art' out there of such characters.
As far as I know, I have never mentioned "bae" or "thicc" before. Well, feel free to create your own mod then ;) Get back to me when you have created something "better".
Haydee mods thicc Linkle – The moment when Linkle becomes a thicc and nude babe (1 mod name, 2 you calling it thicc)
Apart from that you were very careful indeed, only once saying you like thicc women, from which can be inferred you would call the person in the mod thicc too, but that would be a pure inferral and easily argued against. You do however name the mod over and over, where you could also have easily written "the mod". I think if you wrote about GTA V you would also have use "installment", "game", "experience" instead of saying GTA V over and over again.
I'm not blaming you btw, I'm just trying to play advocatus diaboli : )
@NecoTehSergal
I've seen women with exactly that figure and exactly such large breasts, I'm sure they would not liked to be call unrealistic ; )
Also, why there needs to be a "Linkle in first place". Link seems genderless enough that the person could be male and/or female.
Those words both need to die. I cringe so hard when people say them. Maybe I'm getting too old, lol.
With the title literally saying: "The moment when Linkle becomes a thicc and nude babe"....
Your response is the epitome and poster-child for Butthurt and irrational - that you receive criticism of some form (Mostly it was just me ranting that it was a bad model for bottom-of-the-barrel fetishizing people who react to Tits like a Caveman) but apparently you took offense to it and made a fool of yourself.
You know a person is offended and has nothing good to say in any mature light, when their first reaction is: "LIKE TO SEE YOU DO BETTER" - Like....that's one of the most moronic things you can say, since when is a persons' capacity to criticize....limited, based on whether or not they are involved enough to be a Creator of such things? It'd be like if you criticize a Youtuber for having a shitty mic quality and their response is: "I DON'T SEE YOU WITH YOUTUBE VIDEOS WITH BETTER MIC AUDIO!!1111"
Just....no, grow up. Least take it like a man, jeez.
What does "oversexualizing" mean? When something is sufficiently sexualized beyond YOUR standard? What if someone else doesn't think it's sexualized enough? If people are into this, who cares? You don't need to "see why people would get off" to it. Just live and let live, bud.
You basically both, proved my point, and made a redundant argument, you made it clear and were Captain Obvious for everyone by informing everyone that My opinion is, essentially? Subjective opinion on what my standards of attraction are, and thus are allowed to have them - as is everyone else, I merely stated my opinion on what I regard as, Oversexualized due to anatomy that I view as disproportionate and exaggerative, which I don't find 'attractive', whether Real or 'Digital'. Others may disagree, and they're allowed to also have that opinion. To me, I simply made the point to say that it is too barebone, it lacks imagination, and is comparable to a Caveman in 'attraction' if all a dude gets off at is Get Girl - Give giant boobjob or Hyper-size something and BAM! They think it's objectively better.
I subjectively said "No, it doesn't become better, it's just exaggeratedly oversexualized, it's ruined the charm of the original character."
But comically, the 'creator'/host got butthurt and took offense to it, as if he should have such attached pride to something that wouldn't have taken a lot of effort anyways. lmao
Must be something with the places on the internet that you frequent.
I've never seen or heard "thicc" before in my life until I saw this headline.
You can notice just from n4g articles. But also its on youtube comments, like the trailer for fornite. Always comments about "we got a thicccc girl in the game" "the engineer is thicc!"
Part of what annoys me is I know there are legit OBESE people who are pushing more weight (nothing wrong with non skinny people, just too big is not good obiviously) because of their low self esteem. So of course its like yea they'll jump on it, anything to make them feel better.
Other half is just the frikken obnoxious overuse of it imho
On a side note, its an accurate description when used properly and not every single time, different from "large,fat,obese,big" ;
You say that like you didn't know thick is a word used to describe a woman for over 20 years lol. You just finally got annoyed... Probably these gamers overusing things to try look cool lol. Like the dab 😂😂
I have no problem with the actual word thick, but I would agree that "thicc" is both stupid and annoying.
I'm not into made up words.
I remember when people online used to say "pwn" all the time, and I basically just insta-hate anyone that talks like that.
Don't like it, don't read it. Furthermore, I did a really good interview with Doug TenNapel just recently. However, apparently it was so well done that Chris had to kill it off on N4G:
http://thegg.net/interviews...
I read the interview, and it indeed wasn't bad. That, however, is not the reason it was taken off N4G, and it makes you look worse for claiming it was taken off because it "was so well done".
Note for your interview, sometimes the interviewee's answers only touched your questions half, which was a waste and left me wondering.
I disagree with some statements of the interviewee (Women naturally love to work at home...show me sources that 1) men don't, or 2) in countries where there is more equality women still work at home more) but that doesn't mean it wasn't a good interview and a good read : )
No one else is doing it. In fact, most game "journalists" seem to double as social activists AGAINST these kind of articles. You know what I do when I see articles that I'm not interested in? I keep scrolling. I find it's way more effective than complaining about it.
This is the power of modding !
The power of PC Gaming is the high resolution, 144hz+, better compatibility (play really old games), emulators, more frame rate (on decent ports), Community Patches for games, etc....
Even mods are awesome, u just have to filter some! I guess people can do whatever they want and have fun with it, it's ur choice to skip or not

Not really...they used the same model for Link and redesigned him into a girl.
Instead of developing Zelda more it's like "Oh no we don't have a female hero better carbon copy the one we have"
Honestly I just see Linkle as another character in a long line of alternate gender counterparts such as Supergirl, Batgirl, She-Hulk, Spider-Woman, Ms. Marvel, Harley Quinn, X23, Minnie Mouse, Lola Bunny, Toadette, The Boss, Amy Rose, and Ms. Pac-Man.
All linkle is, is a girl version of link which to me is creative laziness
Der God, i hope they don't make a female link in one of the canon games.
I'm no sexist or anything, but this is getting ridiculous... It's the same with the new Ghostbusters. The concept itself is build up on 4 guys hunting ghosts, or in this case, an elven dude rescuing the world... Don't f*** with the founding concepts people, make a spin-off or new IP instead :D
She does seem to have enough of her own personality to be considered a different character, which is neat.
I only really have a problem with the name, which seems like a subset of Link, which doesn't do either of them any favours.. If people have a problem with her being a reincarnation of Link - I don't get why she can't be a reincarnation of some other legendary hero (or maybe she is? Maybe there's a previously unknown line of Linkles as well..) oh well I doubt she'll become canon.
