I should not need to explain this one.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Isn't the one on the left Samus from Metroid?

A female character!

The one to the left is John Metroid from the popular video game franchise Metroid. The one to the right is Zelda from Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

He’s just taking the piss. It’s Samuel Aran, first Prime of House Metroid

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 days ago (1 children)

His name is Met Roid. That's why the game is called Metroid.

Metroid is the name of the princess

Super Peach Bros

I loved the crossover game when he teamed up with John Halo to fight the Covenant.

I think Metroid is a pretty cool guy. Eh kills space pirates and doesn’t afraid of anything.

[–] [email protected] 121 points 3 days ago

That's the joke.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 3 days ago

And the one on the right is Link, a male.

You've got it! The joke!

[–] [email protected] 52 points 3 days ago

The one on the right is link...a make character. I think your on to something

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

C'est ça qui est drôle! And the one on the right is Link wearing women's clothing from Breath of the Wild. He has to pretend to be a woman to sneak into a desert town where men are prohibited. Cross-dressing is a critical part of the story, and you keep the outfit to wear in battle if you like. You can also flirt with a guy and he'll give you his boots.

Can flirt? I'd argue one must flirt, lest one be cursed to trudge through sand and snow.

Unless one happens to know the windbomb, in which case... BOOM stares off into the distance ...was nice talking with ya.

I'm a completionist, so I always do everything possible in game. Strictly speaking, you only must get the sail, and you can head straight to Ganon if you're feeling mighty.

The image of low power Link charging in and beating Gannon has me remembering that streamer that made it like ~~90~~ 95 hours into the game before triggering the tutorial of Breath of the Wild

I'm skeptical she managed to beat three of the four beasts without stumbling upon backflips, side hops, or charged attacks.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Fair enough, may have been staged, I've never played the game. Last Zelda game I played was Majora's Mask

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

I am far from mighty. If anything, I am straight up bad at combat. On my first master mode playthrough I did duck into the castle to get the shield, but afterwards went right back to do/find all the things mode.

And the right is Zelda 🫠
