From the comments I think people aren't getting the joke that the left is a female character and the right is a male character.

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

If you don’t get the joke you are the joke.

But she's usually wearing tights and a skirt?!?!

Zelda IS the boy!

It upsets me that the sexy gerudo outfit isn't in TOTK.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nintendo was afraid of what they created.

Afraid and confused.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Bullshit. Someone knew exactly what they were doing.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 2 months ago

But was it John Nintendo???

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

You can still dress as Zelda from OOT

[–] h3mlocke@lemm.ee 27 points 2 months ago

I see what you did there.

[–] HamsterRage@lemmy.ca 21 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (6 children)

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

A female character!

[–] Phegan@lemmy.world 121 points 2 months ago

That's the joke.

[–] magic_lobster_party@fedia.io 119 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Carvex@lemmy.world 39 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Killin me with John Metroid

[–] Ioughttamow@fedia.io 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] hypeerror@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Metroid is the name of the princess

[–] swab148@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

Super Peach Bros

[–] DillyDoobie@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Hupf@feddit.org 16 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Habahnow@sh.itjust.works 52 points 2 months ago

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

[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 44 points 2 months ago

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

You've got it! The joke!

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months 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.

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 months 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.

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 11 points 2 months ago

And the right is Zelda 🫠

[–] yamanii@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I like how the thong in dragon's dogma 2 is equal to both, and it has a pretty high defense so the game really wants you to wear it at the start where everything kills you easily.

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 months ago

that thong got so mich mileage in my playthrough...

[–] 42yeah@lemm.ee 13 points 2 months ago

Waaait a minute…

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 9 points 2 months ago

I've always been fond of the fusion suit...

I'm not sure what gender a Metroid is, but considering that suit is made from one, I always thought there's probably some kinda freaky tentacle parasite thing going on in there.

According to Tumblr back in the day, I'm 120% correct.

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 months ago

We need more cute boys in video games >:3

[–] ColdWater@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

Don't underestimate the power of distraction
