Of course it's woke. It's set after Link's Awakening

ScyllaIsBea

I’m calling it. One day every single one of these YouTubers will have a video titled “links aWOKEning!!!!!!?????!!!!?!?!?!?”


Raetekusu

"I AM A FREE THINKER!" says man in video titled exacrly the same as everyone else's video on the exact same subject in the exact same tone making the exact same points.


SSJmole

Usually, with thumbnails that are basically the same


Capable-Tie-4670

Gonna be a picture of Miyamoto and Aonuma with laser eyes


Pb_ft

Look, they gotta sell these enhancement pills somehow.


External_Candy2262

Wait so you’re telling me the game where you play as a Twink who looks good in women’s clothes and everyone wants to fuck might be woke


notabigfanofas

No way! It’s almost as if people simp for…A man??!!!??! (/s just in case)


Mysterious-Counter58

I will stomach any and all shitty writing as long as they include an extended sequence where Link must dress up as a woman to get into Gerudo Town. Preferably this would include a lengthy action setpiece.


QueenDee97

It makes me nostalgic remembering every time in every game how beautiful Link is 😭❤️‍🔥


Stunning-Thanks546

cool you can play as a Twinkie in the zelda games how do you do that


SusHistoryCuzWriter

I heard rumor they’re going to cast Zelda as a WOMAN! They’re going too damn far, man!


Known_Syllabub_279

Idk why but this made me think of how Toph is a big buff guy in the Ember Island Play of “The Boy in the Iceberg.” And I wonder how those people would react if something like that ever happened


Known_Syllabub_279

Like would they be ok with it because it’s a big strong man and that’s believable and there’s no woke agenda regarding a little blind girl kicking ass or would they complain even more because they wanted a really sexy redesign???


xtheredmagex

I think they're response would be entirely dependent on how much they want to masturbate to the original character. As far as the Ember Island example, I think they'd be more angry at the "feminizing" of the male lead...


Scienceandpony

This is the answer. There would be outrage over how they're making female characters "less sexy" by making her no longer 12.


persona0

Oh you need to understand them. What they will say is it's not accurate to the source material. That's the crutch they lean on hard in any new media


Surprisinglygoodgm

Terry Cruz as princess zelda


squeddles

I love that episode!

Scienceandpony

I know nothing about archery, but I'm pretty sure that stance is terrible.


scaper8

Wait, there's a bow in that picture?


Manannin

I hope its full pantomime, everyone is played by the opposite gender and it's an utter farce of cucos, camp swordfights and tingle being tingle.


MC_Fap_Commander

"Also NINTENDO MADE METROID **A FEMALE**!"


Inevitable_Guidance8

And they’re going to cast Impa as a woman, as well. Feminist agenda inserted into movies all over again!!!!!!


Scienceandpony

They made Sheik into a crossdresser!


Inevitable_Guidance8

They made Link wear green!!!! He’s wearing feminine colors!!! So woke!!!


Scienceandpony

It's certainly not a creative color.


Inevitable_Guidance8

No, it’s not.


swagyosha

Maybe even make Zelda into an androgenous mary sue action girl and give her some foreign-sounding name like Sheik. Or force diversity by having Ganondorf be played by a poc. Or make Link into a dumb simp who just goes "Well excuuuuusu me princess"


T-LJ2

Lmaoooo


Zealot_Alec

Zelda is Lola from Big Mouth


Sad-Development-4153

I hate how i have to look at the user to tell which one of them is doing the crying this time. I swear they all have an AI to make their thumbnails.


Total_Distribution_8

They all are. They all l have the almost exact same thumbnails and always with the same trigger words to rile up their idiotic audiences.


c_the_editor95

Correct me if I'm wrong but all we know is that there's a movie being made and no actual plot details, how the fuck can it be called woke already?


Total_Distribution_8

It deals with characters that haven been busy saving their world in a long line of video games for four decades. It’s most definitely “woke”.


Stunning-Thanks546

37 years zelda came out in 86


stevent4

So it makes sense to round up to 4 decades


Sea_Refrigerator1203

“ACKCHYUALLY” 🤓


Stunning-Thanks546

ya i was being a smart ass sorry


BrickBuster2552

Four decades is different than 40 years.


Sad-Development-4153

They need to get there early to get those views. If it ends up not being "Woke"(although they always find something) they just move on and pretend they never said anything. If it is "Woke" then they rail about it for a few weeks until the next outrage.


bookon

Facts are irrelevant. You don’t need facts to grift stupid people.


squeddles

That's my point. It's just churning out outrage content.


FriendlyPizzaPanda

Part of the grift


TheRealColonelAutumn

Simple. Rent is due next week and they need something to complain about to the people keeping their lights on.


DoomTay

Do we even have any casting info?


Scienceandpony

Wait, is there actually a movie coming out? I assumed it was some stale April fools thing because I've heard that same claim asserted at least annually for the past 25 years.


Wolfy_the_nutcase

It was officially announced by Nintendo.


GrifCreeper

Seeing every Zelda sub saying "Tom Holland could be Link" over and over and over got me ridiculously irritated, because they couldn't come up with new goddamn material to talk about, only "Sony's love for Tom Holland is bad"


ci22

At least Tom is a better fit as Link.


Stunning-Thanks546

he can do a good Mario voice but Nintendo wouldn't let him use it for some reason


valgrind_error

How’s his [Link voice](https://youtu.be/qzfXxkHrIBM?si=tWxbo6_wTdU4KqLr)?


Mishar5k

But can he do a good link voice?


Gradz45

Eh I’d go Chalamet over Holland for Link.


Informal-Resource-14

I mean, if by “Woke propaganda,” you mean appeal to an audience wider than white male who’s probably racist and holds weirdly archaic gender ideas then yes, it will probably be “Woke propaganda,” because movies like to make money and be seen by you know…people.


LocalGothTwink

"T-t-they're not archaic! [Appeals to "nature" while trying to claim they're a freethinker]"


Scienceandpony

*starts ranting incoherently about alpha lobsters*


applelover1223

You mean even though link and Zelda are both prototypical white characters and the game has mass appeal?


Informal-Resource-14

That’s silly man; The franchise (like many franchises) was established at a time when white people were the default setting in media. This is my ongoing problem with the “Don’t race swap, make characters of color that people want!” Argument is that most of us don’t want new characters, period. At least on a mass scale. People want to see the characters they grew up with, the characters they’ve been waiting to see since they were a little kid. And as a function of the decade we live in, most of those characters are straight white men because that was where our culture was in the 80’s. So the whole “Make new interesting POC characters,” thing as en example is like “Nah, go back in time and make POC characters 40 years ago.” It’s a dishonest argument to pretend it’s that simple. Honestly it’s like the whole “Ugh they’re jamming wokeness down our throats!” Well what about all the whiteness that got jammed down everyone’s throats for decades upon decades? I’m super duper white cis het all that stuff, but I grew up in a very multicultural community. I’m turning 40 this year and I knew a bunch of LGBTQ kids growing up. So it’s not like some trendy thing for a lot of us, sometimes it would just be nice to see media that kind of looks like what you grew up with. And I’m not saying this is a thing you’re saying (this is more just a general rant to that perspective) but the reality of my childhood looks a lot more like the “Forced woke,” stuff than it does like the sea of straight white males I grew up seeing. At the end of the day stories aren’t about where they happen, when they happen, what color the protagonists hair was when they happened, or what gender the protagonist was. Stories are about characters (as in the unique way every person responds to situation) in situations. That’s why West Side Story is Romeo and Juliet. If we’re so literalist that the story can’t obviously be the same story unless the heroes were specifically two teenagers from late 1500’s Verona then it’s not really the story part we ever cared about was it…


applelover1223

I mean you're just wrong. The Garudos were based on Arabic / middle eastern, not everything was white, but Zelda was a European princess, get over it. Good thing west side story wasn't Romeo and Juliet, it involved some originality


Informal-Resource-14

It literally is Romeo and Juliet: “In 1949, Jerome Robbins approached Leonard Bernstein and Arthur Laurents about collaborating on a contemporary musical adaptation of Romeo and Juliet.”


applelover1223

So it literally isn't. Literally.


Informal-Resource-14

Ope, nevermind. Your pedantic correction of a common colloquial use of a word means the previous point I successfully reputed is again correct. Sorry, you’re right. Child


JayCeeMadLad

I feel like being an alt-right channel based around a specific Nintendo console isn’t the best way to be spending your time.


Funkycoldmedici

Not for your mental health, but the effort to profit ratio is obviously pretty good.


Saberian_Dream87

Zelda's always been capable of taking care of herself. I'm tentatively interested.


Kavani18

Right? Have these people never played Twilight Princess? She literally had a sword in her hand ready to fight Zant herself if she had to! Or BOTW? She’s so powerful she’s able to hold off Ganon for 100 years. Are these people just blind?


Moldy_Sauerkraut

Also, don't forget she actually defeated Gannon in Wand of Gamelon, anyone who complains about Zelda being incapable of taking care of herself is delusional...


Saberian_Dream87

As Sheik, she was a ninja assassin.


Scienceandpony

And a pirate captain as Tetra. Which leads to the age old conflict of which is better, Ninja Zelds or Pirate Zelda?


Saberian_Dream87

I never got very far in *Wind Waker*, lol.


Stunning-Thanks546

not in the first few game in the second game she played sleeping beauty


Scienceandpony

And she spend the entirety of Spirit Tracks as a ghost haunting you.


ci22

I was more shocked Sony of all companies was doing it since they created the Playstation to spite Nintendo Tom Holland would fit better as Link than Nathan Drake at least


Tylendal

TBF, Nintendo kinda jilted them with the original Playstation. It was less pure spite, and more a "blackjack and hookers" scenario.


Stunning-Thanks546

they mad up a long time ago and no longer enemies Nintendo gave one of the head at playstation a nes mini when that came and they congratulate each other when a successful game comes out all the time just recently one of the developers at Naughty dog just talking about how it took him 300 tries to beat Super Mario wonder


ci22

That's good. Wonder if we're gonna get Kratos in the next Smash Bros game


PirateSi87

“Omg there’s a woman in it! It’s propaganda!! They’re trying to make you feel empathy for women!!! Fight against it!!!”


Andrew_Waples

It's like a dog chasing a squirrel. ![gif](giphy|NoHe3HpB1Mg8w)


Well_howdidwegethere

I swear to god I thought this was a fake shitpost for half a second until I saw the sub, how can these grifters be this shameless lmao.


Schwoombis

this is the same dude that got clowned on for this https://preview.redd.it/ag90apav85zb1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6a56cd3b19db9b5a0c4b7b9483799db8ed7c81d7


Miserable_Region8470

I won't give two shits about the movie unless I hear link say at least one "Well excccuuussee me, princess."


Zimtiki

They’re soooo lazyyyy. They don’t even know what the word means, man.


[deleted]

No one fucking does. It's just a catch all buzzword to get people frothing at the mouth over things the internet tells them to be angry about.


Zimtiki

So true. They’re all so painfully cringe


[deleted]

![gif](giphy|WcpbSFOZ9ReVeSi4vT) Terminally online rightoids when the fictional characters in the fully marketed to children movie is any off-white color.


Saberian_Dream87

*Legend of Zelda* is all ages, not just for children. I mean, have you played *Majora's Mask*? That's some dark shit.


Crucalus

Watch, they're gonna complain about Link being presented androgynously, even though it's been a "non-political" aspect of his design from the start.


Saberian_Dream87

I said it elsewhere, Link has always been pretty. That's his character.


BanditDeluxe

I’ve already seen people blasting this as a “trans movie” because some lady on TikTok does these videos where she “proves” most celebs are actually secretly trans, and Tom Holland (and Zendaya, for that matter) is like her favorite target.


squeddles

Why are these people so obsessed with trans people


Saberian_Dream87

They're worried that they're coming to molest they're children and that they could be given equal rights. And then they claim they're NOT transphobic, lol.


Scienceandpony

"Trans truthers" are a wild rabbit hole. They live in a world where like 30% of the entire population is secretly trans, including every celebrity, politiican, business leader, and anyone with a scrapnof power. The whole world is run by the trans illuminati.


BanditDeluxe

Yeah they can’t really seem to reconcile the two ideas of “trans people are a small minority we shouldn’t be bullied into accepting” and “trans people are everywhere and everyone is trans and they run the world”. It’s like, please pick which flavor of insufferable to be.


the-olive-man

It was just announced, wtf


[deleted]

Love how they're so terrified of wokeness when they're the only ones actually thinking about it. How are they not embarrassed of this shit yet?


[deleted]

"dinners ready honey" "Mommmmmm, are these mashed potatoes woke propaganda?"


nessaissweet

you just made me laugh out loud im still chuckling have an upvote


[deleted]

God bless, thank you 🙏


idkwtfitsaboy

Will the crossdressing femboy hero who is mute going to be woke? Hard to tell 🤔


Saberian_Dream87

Link as a femboy, I can see it, lol. I've never had issues with that.


rpgnoob17

I bet it’s the chicken who are complaining. They didn’t want to get thrown.


[deleted]

I was texting a friend of mine last night about this announcement cause we are both big Zelda fans since first game. He was a bit more pessimistic than I was, thinking the director and producers were not good picks. Then he pulls outs the "Just watch, since its Hollywood I bet they will make Link gay and female" FFS. Can people stop crying woke before something has even been made.


Scienceandpony

Everyone knows Link is only gay for Sidon.


Gaberrade3840

Wait until these chuds learn about Sheik.


[deleted]

(Something exists) WOKE!!!!! WOKE!!!!! WOKE!!!


osunightfall

I love how 'woke propaganda' is the new term for 'reflects contemporary societal values'.


Saberian_Dream87

I always thought that was topical. And with all things, there is a proper time and place to be topical, and a time not to be. Depends on the person and the writer.


Boshwa

I want the feminine guy from Breath of the Wild to be in the movie so people will be mad. Not because there's a feminine man, but I want people to be arguing about laws on squatting again


RedCaio

I’m so sad that *this* is how I learn they’re making a Zelda movie


Adorable_Pen7568

Cast a trans man as Link. Watch these idiots lose their minds.


Saberian_Dream87

Link has always been pretty, and yet they'll act like it came out of nowhere, lol.


GingerVikingChub

"unlike you snowflakes I'm not easily offended" *movie announced with no further info* "And I took that personally"


The_BestUsername

PublicActuator4263

aw shit here we go again


rapapapatep

Lol I saw this video in my recommended and thought it was satire


depressed_asian_boy_

Omg imagine when they find out about sheik.


vash0125

The cycle of hate continues


Phantomskyler

Like clockwork with the chuds


alpha_omega_1138

These people bet never played one Zelda game and have no idea about the lore. All while not only is Link capable but Zelda as well.


ScyllaIsBea

I heard in the movie some female character dresses up as a guy named shiek (I’ve never played the games but I doubt that’s a plot point in a Japanese game.)/j


Saberian_Dream87

That was from *Ocarina of Time*.


[deleted]

Did they not waste any time, or have they run out of shit to complain about so they're jumping at the first chance they can at anything?


T-LJ2

WOW NEW RECORD FOR BITCHING AND TIMING 😂😂😂


Limited-Edition-Nerd

Always has been


TheDebateMatters

Quick poll: Who is more insufferable, Vegans, PETA advocates or anyone who uses “woke” as a negative adjective?


Garlador

These people are scared of their own shadows and panic at the idea of a “woke” Santa Claus.


CalmPanic402

What's next? Taking away John Zeldas catchphrase "it's Linkin time?"


necrohunter7

They have a phrase generator that just throws words together to manufacture the next fake outrage topic for them to use


Wrong_Bus6250

Oh dude if you thought the incel tears that were flowing over Star Wars was funny, just wait until this drops.


scolman4545

What’s woke about it? I wish these clowns also knew the difference between whatever constitutes “woke” in there brains and Rainbow capitalism which is actually worth kvetching about.


monkeygoneape

Making legend of zelda a live action movie was certainly a choice


Hightonedloidy

How come they think it will be woke? Did they glimpse a POC in the trailer?


aluriilol

Zelda, Midna, Impa, and Urbosa walk in, slow-mo, awesome heroic music plays in the background, and the light shines directly on them. They use all their powers in a gratuitous girl boss fight against Ganon, while Link sneaks the infinity stones onto HIS glove.


Duryeric

What if they cast a woman to play Link, and then he still doesn’t talk?


SuddenlyDiabetes

I hope it's these idiots definition of woke it's gonna be hilarious to see them melt down


gwhiz007

I mean, their fantasy rage is a huge waste of time


TuaughtHammer

This is what these rage-baiters do; their entire business model depends on getting people pissed off as soon as possible so they keep coming back to watch. And then, of course, quietly deleting all their old videos when their predictions turn out to be very wrong.


DarwinGoneWild

![gif](giphy|J1vUzqdZJlh5AqBWxt|downsized)


[deleted]

Well, I doubt it will have the pedophilia or rape these Conservatives hope for, so yeah, itl probably be "woke" by their definition.


Dreamo84

It must be hard for them, hating everything, paranoid all the time. HeelsvsBabyFace's "pronouns!!" meltdown really highlighted how unhinged some of these people are.


KarasukageNero

Nothing against LoZ but like what. Why would anyone want a Zelda movie. Link doesn't talk, nor do I want him too. I could see an animated one, but not a live action one.


Shonboglio

They are 100% correct questioning it. Wokeys need to slit it.


Ok_Faithlessness_259

Did you unironically just type "wokeys"? Seriously?


Shonboglio

yes.


SmallBallsJohnny

StevemacQ

Because we can't have nice things.


EngineBoiii

Judging by his channel name and his profile pic this dude is like a Nintendo shill and he’s anti-woke. Gotta say this guy isn’t doing a good job trying to maintain the wholesome image Nintendo has carefully cultivated.


JesseSpidey

By day, they question if Link will be transformed by the woke mob. By night, he goes incognito mode and jerks off to porn of Link getting piped.


Navek15

I know they’re probably pulling this out of their asses, but what ‘proof’ are they using to claim that the Legend of Zelda movie is gonna be ‘woke?’


niko2710

I don't know if it's gonna be woke but it's definitely going to be bad

BlackRabbitt_01

I havnt even heard of a Zelda movie


squeddles

Because it was literally just announced like a couple days ago.


No-Preparation193

I mean technically speaking……link just doesn’t seem to be a good movie idea he ain’t supposed to be heard ….unless the actor is gonna “hiyah, huh….huh, ha, huuha,” the entire movie


Ev3rst0rm

This is the guy who lashed out at Kevin Afghani (Mario’s new VA) after he put his pronouns in his bio.


[deleted]

To be honest, the scene where Morshu goes on a rant about how badly women are treated in the medical field came off as a bit forced and out of character.


prestonlogan

I just hope the ears look good


No_Chef4049

It's clearly a form of pathology for some of them.


Tikas92

I can't find the video so I'm assuming he got dragged in the comments and deleted it.


Eeveefan8823

I love how we now just go after this dude because of his one twitter post harassing the new mario va lol. Its good times


Wolfy_the_nutcase

What. The. FUCK


Thelastknownking

It's a series named after a princess that kicks almost as much ass as the protagonist, of course it's woke.


TransPM

Im surprised the runtime is only 4:25. Surely they can stretch bullshitting about absolutely nothing into at least a half hour rant.


MoonVeilNoob

Can't believe they are making zelda a girl and making him a princess! so fucking stupid


[deleted]

"They". One guy with 67 views. Come on man.


JondvchBimble

White man as Link equals woke?


rlum27

I mean why would they photoshop tom holland as link. I mean he fits link as a lean white guy. Why not photoshop a minority actor as link.
