I have a question what’s the name of the mod?

[@GALAXY_3241]

Yeah I would like to play that mod!

[@K.0iii]

@@GALAXY_3241 same idk the name tho

[@dionelr]

True story. When I was young (back when Zelda 1 and 2 were the only Zelda games), I went as Link for Halloween. But everyone kept calling me Peter Pan. Worst Halloween ever.

[@enragedbard]

Hey! Me too!

[@number16kelbax]

I went as Sheldon from Big Bang Theory once but everyone kept saying the Flash

[@Skip6235]

Similar story: I went as Dread Pirate Roberts from Princess Bride. Everyone thought I was Zorro. Sad.

[@liammillard9709]

Same but I was oot link

[@redmarioavenger]

Same here lol 🤣

[@zenix6467]

For context, this technically isn't Link but a girl this is actually Linkle from the Original Hyrule Warriors game, She's just a normal girl who looked up to Link and decided to wear clothes like him (Think Lucina from the Fire Emblem series) but set off on an adventure to save her country. Her main weapons are normally two crossbows or the Pegasus Boots. By the way, almost all of Linkle's outfits are changed to fit her including The Fierce Deity outfit. (Edit: Linkle actually thought she was the incarnation of Link, Thank you Comment Section!)

[@tomrii]

yeah i was just going to comment that this was linkle

[@BeastMan617]

pretty certain they know i's Linkle on acct her name is in the mod-pack those silly guys are just being silly again.

I so wish that they put Linkle in genuine Zelda. To make her a consistent character, with all the personality she got in HW. I vibe with her so hard. Loves chickens, has no sense of direction, kinda dorky... she's basically like me! Except she's cute and does not look like she's hiding depression! I love her!

Agreed

[@Dado_nastro]

So you want to be a girl on the inside and a man on outside?

[@Unfuseddd]

@@Dado_nastro I think they just want to be a femboy with the clothing that Linkle wears, because she literally has booty shorts in every outfit

[@megnugget2631]

Yeah I use this mod and thought it was actually very conservative considering how the internet usually is. They have additional mods to make it more revealing but basic Linkle mod is SFW.

[@spedupkpopsongs]

Fun fact, linkle is an actual Nintendo character and the hylian set is her normal outfit!

[@wackadoo.]

Impa does not say that. She says: "Link, I would recommend you change the subject." In the original game. That's really funny that they added that though.

[@BeastMan617]

pretty sure she actually does say it- I think Paya even pleads for her to not say it.

[@The8asement]

it seems like it's only something she says after completing the Heirloom quest

[@wackadoo.]

@@The8asement Oh yah! You guys are right I just checked. I never asked for jer story again after completing the quest. That's really funny.

the fact that's the first time I asked her that was after the heirloom quest, I was confused as hell in my master mode playthrough when she didn't say it-

Fun fact:the climbing gear doesn’t do any better then anything else,he climbs faster but no one realizes you lose stamina a lot faster

I would be careful with these mod videos and mods of BOTW in general. PointCrow is getting hit HARD by Nintendo and his videos are being taken down. His channel already has two strikes against him and he recently read a plea article to Nintendo a couple days ago.

[@RedMage117]

Came here to say this. The Nintendont have fun patrol is out in force again. I feel like their lawyers get paid by the strike or something

[@kennethgameingtv6708]

Tip the pouch on the climbing gear is actually a chalk bag for grip.

[@lunieplays]

She's so cute and I love the outfits! They did super good with the model to make it fit in with the stylized environment. I really wouldn't mind playing through the game as her. I wish there was an official way. 😢

[@peijichan2589]

Oh that's right... I totally forgot Linkle was a thing. 😅

[@VegetaLF7]

The green hood outfit is Linkle's default look from Hyrule Warriors. That compass is a part of her plot in the game.

Not sure if anyone else pointed this out....but the last outfit you tried on is actually Linkle's base outfit in Hyrule Warriors and the Compass on it is a part of her back story in the game 😃 Side note: She is probably one of my favorite characters to play in that game....got some insane crossbow skills for a simple cucco herder 😁👍

[@Greywander87]

This is indeed adorable. When given the chance to create my own character, I used to make them look like myself, and it always looked boring and I never cared about my character's appearance. But part of the point of gaming is to be something you're not, and once I started creating female characters I was suddenly much more invested in their appearances. According to my sister, even she is more invested in the appearance of female characters compared to male ones. Would have loved to have this as a vanilla option for BotW. By the way, that last outfit is, I believe, Linkle's default outfit, much like Link's green tunic outfit.

[@andreja9425]

have you ever thought you might be trans?

[@devastatorboss059]

If this mod made it so that you can into gerudo village without the desguies would be pretty cool though that would take more effort to do than what the modder/modders have already done.(I don't know a whole lot about modding games so I don't really know.)

[@ScarletRainfall]

I'm pretty sure it already does that

[@alwaysafk5035]

According to other comments it does! but you need the gerudo outfit for the quests, that was probably too difficult to modify

zero reason to blur anything was just trying to see the different variants and cant cause you decide to blur stuff that isn't even inappropriate.
