Kotaku Strikes Again
Sep. 22nd, 2023 08:11 amTears Of The Kingdom May Include The Zelda Series’ First Gay Character

Link meets a pretty colorful cast of characters during his journey through Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. While there are plenty of love stories throughout the game, fans are starting to speculate that one male character might have feelings for another man based on a diary entry in Kakariko Village, and it may imply the series has its first overtly gay character.
When I set out this morning to look for visual references for Calip, I was not expecting the first hit to be a clickbait Kotaku article. This is truly gaming journalism at its finest.
Anyway, best comment: "This is Tingle erasure."
Best reply to that comment: "Tingle’s sexuality could not possibly fit into one of your narrowly defined boxes."
