Well, Zelda dressing up and disguising herself as a man is canon, right? I don't remember what game it was though...
The ballsiest thing Nintendo will ever do with a male character. If it were up to me, I'd keep link like that where he's not required to wear different clothes. But I'm kinda of a weirdo like that~ ;P
That wasn't even the first time they've put Link in Drag. I mean Cannon he's been in both Zelda's dress and a cheer leader outfit. I like Capcom and Demitri. He needs to be in more games.
True. But Breath of the Wild is the first time teenage/adult Link has fully crossdressed, as far as I am aware. The other games where this has happened was more with a younger kid version.
True. Still Link has kind of been a trap since day one. A fact that parodied to the extreme in El Goonish Shive way back in October 2011.
Mods exist for BotW on the Wii U where you can make Link look like Zelda, Mipha, Revali, and even Linkle! And those are just the ones I've actually seen!!
