That's lovely.

I always thought it was a girl! I do tend to skip the story stuff.Blush

Primrose123 · 10/11/2012 10:22

That's brilliant. I love playing Zelda, and I get fed up being a boy throughout the story!

I thought Zelda was a girl too Blush

FrillyMilly · 15/11/2012 21:36

Oh now I think about it was Zelda tha sword wielding character you play or was she locked in a tower waiting I be rescued?

FrillyMilly · 15/11/2012 21:37

Apologies for terrible typing

RubberDuck · 15/11/2012 21:38

Zelda is the person you rescue, the hero is called Link.

(sheesh) Wink

MrsRhettButler · 15/11/2012 21:39

In fact that's why I liked playing it as a child, thought I was playing a girl! Grin

Zelda is a girl - she's Princess Zelda. The main (playable) character, Link, is male. Though I don't think it matters much. I think all the Zelda games give you the option to choose your own name at the beginning though. I played Twilight Princess first, and put my own first name in... and then was referred to as 'laddie' etc throughout. I totally get why this dad has done this.

MrsRhettButler · 15/11/2012 21:41

Oh well, I clearly had no idea what was going on!

Teladi · 15/11/2012 21:41

x post with a whole bunch of people!

FrillyMilly · 15/11/2012 22:01

I'm so disappointed by this

WomanlyWoman · 16/11/2012 11:01

That's excellent. It annoys me how few games there are with adventurous female characters, or females that aren't all eyelashes or sexy costumes. My dh plays Zelda with our dd, am going to show him this and shame him ;)

TerrariaMum · 16/11/2012 13:29

Can I use this as a chance to recommend Dungeons of Dredmor? You can play a female character and she is fully clothed. here

Also, Gaslamp Games, who make it, have a very good reputation for stomping down on sexism in their forums.

WomanlyWoman · 16/11/2012 13:53

Thanks for that Terraria, I'm looking for a decent console game for dd for Xmas, rather than PC, but will keep it in mind.

TerrariaMum · 16/11/2012 14:17

Ah, I don't play console games as we only have a PC. So I am a fount of knowledge on PC games but not console ones.
