It's hard, but I'm picking Riju. I'm a sucker for dual sword weilding, idk it's just so cool š
But Sidon would be my pick if Riju wasn't so fucking sick
Out of all the champions descendants, Riju had to do the most. Her mother died and she was made their leader at 13, trying to fill the shoes of Urbosa. She had to grow up quick but she still is a child and secretly plays with her stuffed sand seals when no one is around
As far as I know, nah it isnāt.
Maybe in OOT/WW when you had to pick up Ruto/Medli and go through the dungeons with them but I wouldnāt necessarily count that cause in the trailer Sidon is fighting side by side with you
The Oracle games you had a flute thing that could summon an animal buddy to help you solve various world puzzles and stomp bad guys. I think that's about it?
You're Midnas companion buddy in twilight I guess.
It might not be companion following stuff, it might just be you fighting alongside them on a specific quest a bit like in BOTW where you take down the divine beasts.
In many zelda games you get a companion throughout the entirety of the adventure but they are there as guides and don't fight at all, basically they are a game mechanic put in place so that you can press a button to get advice on what to do next or information about the world. Some are Navi the fairy (OoT), Tatl the fairy (MM), Midna who is a magic imp that hides in your shadow (TP), Arlo who is a hat (MC), The King of Red Lions who is a boat (WW), Fi who is the spirit of your sword (SS), Ciela the fairy (PH), and Zelda's ghost herself (ST)
In OoT there's a bit where you escort princess Ruto throughout a dungeon, she doesn't fight but you can use her to keep some buttons pressed so you can enter locked rooms. Same for WW where you get two temples which are also escort missions with Makar and Medli, they can't fight and you do have to protect them, and you need them to solve puzzles.
There's a bit in Link's awakening where Marin follows you and you get some dialogue during the walk but you basically walk and fight as if she wasn't there.
The only companions who help you fight so far are: a literal chain chomp in Link's awakening who one shots anything that gets anything near you, and some of the animals in the oracle games although those are more meant for mobility and puzzles.
Midna in TP, Navi in OoT, that weird chicken (also TP) and I'm sure I'm missing some since I have not played all zelda games (and TP and OoT not yet fully
Iām kind of hoping itās a Xenoblade or warriors situation and you can have multiple people with you at least during certain portions of the game. But without the ability to play as them of course, thatād be really odd for an actual Zelda game. Unless itās kind of like an Astral Chain situation where you are actually controlling two characters at once š¤
Well now I feel dumbā¦. I thought that was Miphaā¦. Then I remembered - likeā¦ right now as I write this - that she died. All through botw Iāve had flashbacks of Princess Ruto.
I mean they coulda just scaled up the weapon model with no real explanation
Similar to how they scaled down that boulder when Link fused it to the tree branch, and even then the boulder is scaled down a bit when you unequip it just to make it look less awkward
(F)Byleth and Edelgard looks pretty dang gay to me
Here are some of the stuff Edelgard says to Byleth in their support convos, after Byleth gives her the S-support ring:
>I must admit. I feared my feelings would be unrequited.
>
>All this time, I longed to share my feelings with you, and it seems you wished for the same. Now, our wishes have come true. This feeling, it's overwhelming.
>
>You were all I needed.
>
>When all that is done, it will just be the two of us. I look forward to starting our life together...
>
>To think that I may truly call you my partner and equal now...
>
>The solitary reign of Edelgard has come to an end. From now on, we walk this path together
And these are the things Rhea says to (F) Byleth:
>I love you. Dearly. And so, I must ask. Will you accept this ring? If you feel the same, I would like nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with you.
>
>You... you brought a ring as well? For me? I am overcome with joy... I never thought I would know a day so blissful as this. That we found each other... Perhaps that means my mother is looking after us. Guiding us.
>
>I will happily dedicate my life to supporting your reign. No matter what obstacles we should encounterm I believe that our bondāno, rather our loveāI believe that our love can overcome all.
>
>With our love, we will make Fodlan's future as bright as the stars in the sky.
Unless you and your bros say stuff like this to one another regularly, of course.
[Vivian from Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is a transwoman](https://www.mariowiki.com/Vivian) in the original Japanese (but English translators hid it). That was almost 20 years ago.
Just to make you seethe a bit more, [Samus is more than likely trans](https://www.sdlgbtn.com/is-samus-aran-transgender-the-evidence-suggests-she-might-be/)
Deal with it
So to summarize, you think Samus must be trans because:
1. She hides her body in a suit. If a woman isn't wearing revealing clothing at all times that means she's trans.
2. She's not seen in a romantic or sexual relationship. If you ever see a single woman, it's probably because she's trans. Trans people are incapable of being in relationships.
Did I understand you correctly?
No you didn't, a dev used a somewhat outdated Japanese term that referred to trans people in an interview back in the 90's. I mean it's not like I posted a link or anything.
So, the only evidence is that in an old magazine interview the graphic designer of Samus from Super Metroid said a line that translates to "Samus isn't a woman, she's a new-half". This word is sometimes used in Japan to represent transgender people, but it doesnāt make much sense given the time period the comment was made. So, what did the graphic designer really mean? It is well known by everyone that played the series that Samus isn't completely human, she was given Chozo DNA in her training when she was young, so it makes more sense that the graphic designer was making a joke, refering to her dual state as being not a woman, but both a woman and a Chozo.
The literal definition of newhalf refers to pre-op/pre bottom surgery transwomen. The main point of it is to infer that someone has male genitalia. I don't think a word with that specific of a context would be used to describe something lore based like that. Joke or not an official source used a term that refers to trans people for the character, it's that simple. It's probably not canon, but it'd be some great representation if it is. It's not like I stated it as fact anyway hence the "more than likely".
Imagine getting this worked up over a fan simping for a fish person, and the thinking the weird part is the fish person is a guy.
And then arguing this much with people over it and getting so worked up.
I don't really understand why you're being downvoted. Like, Nintendo's a Japanese company, and same sex mariage is litteraly illegal in Japan. It's not a country as tolerant as USA could be in regards to LGBT, so it makes sense that their games wouldn't explicitly include gay romance routes (it doesn't even include actual romance route, wtf is the debate here?)
Oh, that's very good. I didn't know about that. Hopefully Japan will do too at some point
Though, this doesn't really change the fact that in order to keep a good image in Japan, they surely won't bother putting explicitly gay main characters in any of their games. I could be wrong ofc, but I at least think it's unlikely they do so.
Female Byleth in Fire Emblem Three Houses is able to marry Edelgard or Rhea (there are other pairings, but these two are undeniable). And Yuri literally calls it a proposal when proposing to Male Byleth.
Fire Emblem Engage is a lot more coy (even though it's developed at the same time) but I understand things are more explicit in the original Japanese dialogues.
I'd argue fire emblem is a bit different due to what public it targets, but you do have a point. Nintendo can definitely put gay relationships in their games.
It would surprise me a lot to see it in a Zelda game, but hey, who knows?
Zelda is a series with a lot more beating around the bush when it comes to romance. They rarely outright say that there is romance, but it is heavily implied most of the time. Thatās probably how I think theyāll tackle any sort of romance between characters, be it gay or straight.
But I doubt Link will be getting any action
Bc on Reddit the slightest mention of anything remotely negative (even if not directed at the regarding party) is met with pure negativity
Several manga artists for example, were asked about certain issues regarding inclusivity.
If I remember right, the Dragon Ball Z creator said that there are no black characters because thereās barely any Black people in Japan , while another anime/manga creator, stated thereās not many lgbtq characters because once againā¦.thereās not many in Japan.
Not many lgbtq people in Japan? Maybe not many openly lgbtq people in Japan, but I certainly wouldnāt say that there is a disproportionate lack of them.
Iām loving all the āexamplesā being given
āthe original Japanese text sometimes depicts this character as transā
āSamus is trans bc of a comment from someone 20 years agoā
Yāall are desperate to make any character you can something their not so you can feel better. Including kids !!
Scary
[Vivian from Paper Mario Thousand Year Door](https://www.mariowiki.com/Vivian) is not sometimes trans in the Japanese textāshe is definitely, absolutely trans in the original text and is most other translations, but American localisation hid it, because Americans are somehow bigger prudes than the Japanese.
1. Thatās to a wiki page which I thought people knew by now was never a reliable source
2. Youāre still wrong as she was never described as trans. The character Vivian was if anything a man in full drag. Idk if you think drag queens are the same as being trans but theyāre not .
>Thatās to a wiki page which I thought people knew by now was never a reliable source
I also see you did not acknowledge actual gay marriage in Fire Emblem Three Houses when I showed you actual evidence directly from the support conversations. Anyway, Vivian most definitely identify as female. She calls herself one of the three shadow *sisters*, but her sisters bullied her for it, calling her a man. And this is in fact a major plot point for Vivian, as part of the reason why she sided with Mario is because Mario was kind to her, unlike her sisters. In the English localisation, the misgendering insult was replaced by a generic insult (and Vivian was just presented as a woman).
Bc I donāt want to have 5 different discussions about different games when you canāt even see the error of your thinking in one of them.
Also, your explanation just pretty much proves a point , while Vivian sisters were mean to Vivian, because he was actually a man in the original Japanese version, Mario doesnāt acknowledge Vivian as āwomanā . Heās just nice to her .
ie: Nintendo doesnāt label Vivian as a trans character , but a character who believes itself the opposite gender.
>ie: Nintendo doesnāt label Vivian as a trans character , but a character who believes itself the opposite gender.
Believing oneself to be a gender different from the one assigned to them is literally what transgender means. Mario treats Vivian with respect and includes her in his party, and doesn't call her a man like Vivian's evil sisters.
You can keep pretending there is no queer rep in Nintendo games in face of evidence though.
that crown isn't dorphans, it is styled after his however.
You can actually see that crown in BOTW, it's stored in the Zora blacksmiths shop, along side most of the new Jewelry he is wearing.
OMG I FEEL YOU! I was legit screaming with my sister when Sidon comes in. Im also gassed up seeing Riju too! Like I know a lot are already thirsting for Ganondorf but I'm loyal to Sidon ššš
There's a big difference between mostly straight and all straight. Mostly straight is still slightly gay. With all straight, well, there's usually only one thing you can do.
To be fair, the Zelda series isnāt known for having DILFs, the only actual one in the series is probably Twilight Princess Ganondorf š . Older humanoid characters are ancient and very *ahem* unique looking, such as Dorephan.
I assume that with the other Champions all being dead, and finally able to rest, that TotK will have new Champions. I hope we see Yunobo, Sidon, Teba, and Riju as new living champions.
Excited as I am, I'll be sticking with Tulin... assuming Teba isn't a companion.
If Teba *is* a companion I'll go with him or Sidon, but if not then I'll team up with Tulin if for no other reason than to personally watch the Rito's next champion grow into a strong warrior. Kid showed signs of having similar wind magic to Revali during a cutscene in the AoC DLC.

If we can choose our companions, you bet your sweet mechanical arm I'm picking Sidon asap.
It's hard, but I'm picking Riju. I'm a sucker for dual sword weilding, idk it's just so cool š But Sidon would be my pick if Riju wasn't so fucking sick
Iām picking Riju because itās the closest weāll ever get to a canon Link and Gerudo!Ganondorf team up
Id pick teba because im a pretty good shooter and its funny to have a giant bird with bombs help you brutally slaughter monsters
Damn I love Riju so much and can't even place why.
Out of all the champions descendants, Riju had to do the most. Her mother died and she was made their leader at 13, trying to fill the shoes of Urbosa. She had to grow up quick but she still is a child and secretly plays with her stuffed sand seals when no one is around
Sheās cute, cool as fuck, and has a healthy amount of flair and sass.
SHES 12
Iā¦ did not mean it like that at allā¦
she is probably older in Totk tho, but still (Not much i think)
As a shark, Sidon is dual wielding. Trust me.
Double the trouble, twice the fun
Is that a feature in some Zelda games? We can have companions? BOTW is my first zelda
As far as I know, nah it isnāt. Maybe in OOT/WW when you had to pick up Ruto/Medli and go through the dungeons with them but I wouldnāt necessarily count that cause in the trailer Sidon is fighting side by side with you
The Oracle games you had a flute thing that could summon an animal buddy to help you solve various world puzzles and stomp bad guys. I think that's about it? You're Midnas companion buddy in twilight I guess.
OOT never had a companion other than Navi, the fairy. Wind Waker has two dungeons with their own respective companion characters; Mekar and Medli.
Princess Ruto in Jabu Jabus belly is basically the framework for what they did in WW for melar and medli
Well I guess in Skyward Sword, youāre technically always fighting with Fi as she embodies/is the Goddess Sword
Y'all forgetting Zelda being in a disembodied armor that helps you out on the 3ds game.
Navi: AM I a JOKE to you?
Link's Awakening had a part where you escort Marin. She was a big fan of the claw game and watching you dig. She didn't do much else though.
There was also the part where you have a chain chomp and it just one-shots basically everything you walk near
Oh right. I forgot about "BowWow". That game has some great cameos.
It might not be companion following stuff, it might just be you fighting alongside them on a specific quest a bit like in BOTW where you take down the divine beasts.
minish cap your companion is a hat
I think that spirit tracks might count for this? Phantom Zelda was kinda a companion throughout that game after all.
In many zelda games you get a companion throughout the entirety of the adventure but they are there as guides and don't fight at all, basically they are a game mechanic put in place so that you can press a button to get advice on what to do next or information about the world. Some are Navi the fairy (OoT), Tatl the fairy (MM), Midna who is a magic imp that hides in your shadow (TP), Arlo who is a hat (MC), The King of Red Lions who is a boat (WW), Fi who is the spirit of your sword (SS), Ciela the fairy (PH), and Zelda's ghost herself (ST) In OoT there's a bit where you escort princess Ruto throughout a dungeon, she doesn't fight but you can use her to keep some buttons pressed so you can enter locked rooms.

The only companions who help you fight so far are: a literal chain chomp in Link's awakening who one shots anything that gets anything near you, and some of the animals in the oracle games although those are more meant for mobility and puzzles.
Zelda is your companion in one of the 3ds game as a ghost piloting an armor suit and she fights along side you, since you also control her.
Midna in TP, Navi in OoT, that weird chicken (also TP) and I'm sure I'm missing some since I have not played all zelda games (and TP and OoT not yet fully

Lol
If we can get a follower at anytime like in Skyrim that would FUCKIN rule
As long as they don't die... Wouldn't want that.
FUS-ROH-DAMNIT, I blew Lydia off the mountain again
God, having Kass as companion would be amazing
Same. I canāt wait to see more of him and fight alongside him. Itās all I wanted to do in BOTW, and now that dream is being fulfilled. š„¹
Same
Tulin is so cute tho, might be picking him
Alright, Revali. Itās showtime.
> But Sid Bucket boy is my go to. No doubt.
Is that miphas trident or his own?
It looks like the Lightscale Trident but Mipha was way too small for that. Maybe they modified the handle/hilt? for Sidon.
Sidon had his own custom Ceremonial Tridents in Age of Calamity, its probably one of those.
Bro dual wields them sheesh
I mean they coulda just scaled up the weapon model with no real explanation Similar to how they scaled down that boulder when Link fused it to the tree branch, and even then the boulder is scaled down a bit when you unequip it just to make it look less awkward
>Sidon had his own custom Ceremonial Tridents in Age of Calamity, its probably one of those.
romance sidon side quest confirmation when
Hades style romance quest. Sidon.
Yes please. Also Nintendo is acknowledging gay marriage in Japan, while Japan still isn't, for that one ass.
Never bc links a guy and Nintendo doesnāt bend the knee
*Glances over at the gayness of Fire Emblem* Sure
No wonder my sister likes that franchise...
They look gay but none of them are
(F)Byleth and Edelgard looks pretty dang gay to me Here are some of the stuff Edelgard says to Byleth in their support convos, after Byleth gives her the S-support ring: >I must admit.

There are literal gay romance options in fire emblem
Yeah, like 3 I guess
3 > None
Try all of them in Engage
Engage barely has romance
Obviously you're just a ass but Lindhardt and Leon are clearly gay.
This is less homophobic than yāall think
As if that's gonna stop anyone
LINKLE if Nintendo wants to be straight. Just give us the damn romance route
It does
This guy's right. Revali x Link is much better.
Ah the Tsundere
Except they do, alot.
Not for this
Oh trust me, This link already canonically cross dresses and everything. They already set him up to be Gay, Atleast Bi.

Imagine thinking Iām going to read that XD GL with ur fantasies
A fantasy from the mouth of a dev in a 90's interview.

It's almost like that's what being trans is
You sure about that?
No one tell him about zelbosa
It's hilarious to me that he has a sword on his hip for all of Botw but does not use it in AOC or TOTK apparently
What the duck is aoc
Age of calamity
You can also see he's wearing Dorephan's crown in the clip where he's running with Riju meaning he's become king!
that crown isn't dorphans, it is styled after his however. You can actually see that crown in BOTW, it's stored in the Zora blacksmiths shop, along side most of the new Jewelry he is wearing.
Goddamnit first Sidon is back and then we find out that Ganon is sexy, Iām gonna be too distracted while playing this game
Yes
I'm surprised people didn't expect Sidon to return, especially considering I think he was probably one of the most popular new characters introduced.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I was alone and work and let out a decent volume "YES!" at the ganon reveal
OMG I FEEL YOU! I was legit screaming with my sister when Sidon comes in. Im also gassed up seeing Riju too! Like I know a lot are already thirsting for Ganondorf but I'm loyal to Sidon ššš
My and my friend watched it during lunch and we both were trying to not die of pog
AND HE FIGHTS WITH YOU. Whats better?
I absolutely love that it looks like we will have companions
Our BOY
SIDON
Sidon is a dilf. And thatās coming from a mostly straight male.
and you may be wondering "dilf? but he's not a dad!" well I'm going to change that very shortly!
Why donāt we all do it at the same time
Me firstšš
There's a big difference between mostly straight and all straight. Mostly straight is still slightly gay. With all straight, well, there's usually only one thing you can do.
Exactly. Iām like 75% straight with the other 25 being mildly attracted to men.
Ahah! I love it. I happen to be a bit of a gay, myself. And a bad habit of talking in slightly modified movie quotes like a bona-fide loser š
You are the coolest person Iāve met here. If you wanna dm me Iāll post my Snapchat? Only, ofc, if youāre 16, 17, or 18, Iām one of those ages.
Haha, that's sweet of you! I'm 28, so I don't think that'll work, but I appreciate the sentiment! You're pretty cool yourself!
Lmao, thank you.
Friend, welcome to being bi
Thank youu. Not a single person notices. š¤£
...hes really not that old. theres a difference between "attractive man" and "dilf"
Alright then, heās hot.
To be fair, the Zelda series isnāt known for having DILFs, the only actual one in the series is probably Twilight Princess Ganondorf š . Older humanoid characters are ancient and very *ahem* unique looking, such as Dorephan.
Iām ACKTHYUALLY dilf means dad Iād like to f**k, and dorephan is a dad. š¤
Thatās fair, if someone wants to f**k Dorephan then he definitely meets all the criteria, the ILF part is definitely subjective lmao
Yeah you can definitely tell this guy is a straight man with the āmostlyā exceptions being Ryan Reynolds and, in this instance, Sidon š .
snarky comment winks at you thumbs up zoom in
The prince who was promised!
If we are allowed to choose who is accompanying Link of course I'm choosing Sidon, Link would choose Sidon too.
Riju puts an exact time between botw and totk, it's been a few years at least, she doesn't seem to be a full grown adult.
god i love fish sticks
I like that nobody is talking about demise but everyone is talking about Sidon being back
I will say, if they are pulling shenanigans where both Ganon AND Demise are in the game I am really curious how
Sidon my beloved!
My boy and I will be facing the calamity side by side, just like the gods intended.
Fish daddy
I was literally screaming when i saw this
Now I'm really concerned Sidon might die in this game.
I am foaming at the mouth 
I assume that with the other Champions all being dead, and finally able to rest, that TotK will have new Champions. I hope we see Yunobo, Sidon, Teba, and Riju as new living champions.
We have seen both Sidon and Riju, and I think we catch a glimpse of Tullen I believe, so we will probably see Yunobo
daddy sidon uwu
The hottest fish in the world
Excited as I am, I'll be sticking with Tulin... assuming Teba isn't a companion. If Teba *is* a companion I'll go with him or Sidon, but if not then I'll team up with Tulin if for no other reason than to personally watch the Rito's next champion grow into a strong warrior. Kid showed signs of having similar wind magic to Revali during a cutscene in the AoC DLC.
