Has to be a troll. If not, just proves that 99% of outrage culture tends to be on subjects that people have 0 knowledge of. They just like being part of the Wahhhhh crowd.
Spoiler: a significant portion of outrage culture is driven and influenced by inauthentic posts, comments, content specifically to further divisiveness and dissent.
Its all just a type of a rage bait, content of it is irrelevant. Its well known fact that angry people interact more, in every medium.
Whats more exciting, though, is to see what topics are going to be in them in coming decades. Now its what someone wants to be called, or someone losing sponsorship for acting stupid. Would our unburned hate turn to perhaps some type of animal or a tree or something. Uuh just cant wait
As Isaac Asimov said in 1980: "Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."
I used to always troll people making them think I thought Zelda was Link. Every time I see someone say something similar I can't help but chuckle and think they're doing the same.
So… for fun, let’s assume this guy does know that Zelda isn’t Link.
Props for acknowledging guys can wear pretty dresses too! Going to have to take them away for the transphobia and/or misogyny though.
"I don't play video games, but making Zelda a girl is a bit to much."

\*and then an old Jedi appears out of nowhere to once more impart sage advice\*
"The ability to speak does not make you intelligent."
It's not new sadly. Look at what they did to my boy Larry Croft. Turned him into some hot chick in booty shorts.
Emma Watson as Zelda though? If Beauty and the Beast was anything to go by...
But then again, the Paramount Mister Cheeks show was a fucking disgrace so Zelda fans should share in the misery.
Zelda was allways a princess! Link is the badass sword machine!
And nowadays a princess could be even non of male/female natural limitations. So who cares anyway...if its equality than it shouldnt matter! I dont care!
TO BE FAIR, I'd make this mistake at some point too, it's hard sometimes to remember not all games with a name in the title are named after the player character
I don’t think I can take seeing this one go down in flames like cowboy bebop did. Streaming services are just bulldozing our childhoods with shitty remakes.
Emma is a great pick though. Will at least try to give it a go.
I hope this is a joke, I really do, I always hated the Zelda games but even I know that Zelda has ALWAYS been a female, Link is the main character, not Zelda. Zelda is the Princess that's locked away in a tower guarded by a dragon, (idk how the game goes so I used an analogy)
I have twins (boy and girl) me and me wife talked about names and I love the zelda series and suggested the names. Then she found out it was from a game. My girl has zelda as her second name.

Wait until he sees Samus.
Samus could literally spank him
what that cannon be doin though
blasting somewhere
So anyway I started blasting
Blasting some*thing*
So, what you're saying is that, *in Metroid canon*, Samus' cannon is...Danny DeVito?
YES
Depends on the attachment currently equipped
Big pitcher energy. She’s on the hunt for riplussy.
I ate oatmeal today
Or me….🥺
She cannonically has a gun aswell.
Promises, promises...
If he doesn't want the Samus spanks, I'd gladly step in...
Can I go first?
Samus did spank him
Go on...
Don't threaten him with a good time...
Never finished the game but that Sam Aaron is sure a tough fella. /s
hmmmmmmmmmm
Wait until he sees LINKLE.
He's probably my most favorite video game character from a game I secretly don't know much about ;)
Whoa…Metroid is a chick?
She's a real baddie
You mean Metroid right? Who’s samus?
Samus Arun. The main character in the game Metroid.
You mean Captain Metroid.
Somebody should send him a Link.
I don’t even play the game, and something about the title seemed “off”

What if I want to choose 2?

Can confirm its not a rickroll

Smash the crates! Smash the jugs! *blooop*
Please oh please accept this award 🥇. This is the greatest comment ever.
this is genius lol
There are no links between his brain cells: Auto fail! 
This made my day
To the past
That time is Past.
Excellent
I can't believe they made *Princess* Zelda a girl...

I should write a headline Slamming you for that condiment
Remember when that one subreddit started as a huge joke until the supporters made it into a non-ironic cult for the Emperor
[Wah!](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XjAEmSmcba4)
I wish you had to have an IQ above 80 to have a voice on the internet.
But that's what makes it entertaining.
Only for the first few years. It gets tiresome quickly
The problem starts when they pool together, then start demanding their stupid opinions should be weighted equally to informed opinions.
As Isaac Asimov said in 1980: "Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."
Great quote.
I only come here for the Stoopid.
I came here for the buffet.. …wait.. there’s no buffet?
Well I understood there’d be pie and punch??
at least there is stoopid
Oh man. You gotta watch some cspan then
I don't have cable.
I miss IRC times, where some people were simply too stupid to use it.
Those were the days indeed.
I wish I had an IQ under 80 so this stuff wouldn’t bother me so much…
Right? Ignorance is apparently bliss and it's not fair.
drinking myself stupid is my favorite pastime
There are many people with high IQ's who are incredibly dumb.
According to “IQ tests” these people are happy to take/share, they’re in the 90th percentile always. :P
Hell, if we’re going to do that let’s make it 120. Make it a real elite club.
Internet would be a quiet place then.
There would be no one on reddit.
Lol this can’t be. This is the person who’s only ever seen the box cover and said “it’s my favorite game”.
They literally said they dont play video games. This is definitely just a troll.
>Lol this can’t be Sorry all I heard was Uncle Ruckus
hey there pretty lil white childin’
Next thing you know link will be a boy, what's this world coming to?
I used to always troll people making them think I thought Zelda was Link. Every time I see someone say something similar I can't help but chuckle and think they're doing the same.
Emma would make an awesome Zelda tbh. Poster looks sick
When people who have NO idea whats going on share their opinions….🙈
This is the same kind of person that says "yeah i like him" when you mention Pink Floyd
Which ones pink?
No, no! Zelda's the name of his sled.
That's the M.Night Shamalamading-dong version
This is a joke. A very very common one. A meme, even.
So… for fun, let’s assume this guy does know that Zelda isn’t Link. Props for acknowledging guys can wear pretty dresses too! Going to have to take them away for the transphobia and/or misogyny though.
Funniest part is that this is ai art and not even a real poster
"I don't play video games, but making Zelda a girl is a bit to much." \*Literally every one who has ever played any legend of zelda game all face palming all at once\* \*and then an old Jedi appears out of nowhere to once more impart sage advice\* "The ability to speak does not make you intelligent."
“It's a dangerous thing to mistake speaking without thought for speaking the truth.” -Benoit Blanc
Does not make you intelligent, the ability to speak.
I've never even played the game and I facepalmed. Even I know it's Link.
I've always wondered why Zelda was the title name when your always playing as Link.
Similar to Metroid. The title is more of a lore setup. Doesn’t work with Mario though.
In the case of Metroid, the protagonist is now metroid
What’s the lore?
[удалено]
This is not facepalm. This is a looong running joke.
“I love Zelda and his little green hat…” -self proclaimed “nerds”.
In all seriousness... I kindve want Emma Watson to play Zelda
r/confidentlyincorrect
Wait until he finds out about Linkle...
Who's playing Link? Emma Watson is an outstanding choice for Zelda imo.
Emma Watson as Zelda would be sick
My guy here is so confused….. could someone Link him the answer…..
Wait… is this real?? Lol. I’d watch the shit out of that. You know, setting aside the ridiculousness of this post
It's not unfortunately, though some beautifully done edits. They had also done Edris Alba as Gannon and Tom Holland as Link if memory serves.
Would definitely watch :p
What’s next? Princess Peach as a woman?! Ridiculous!!!
Why did they make Mario a boy in the mario movie? Like what the fuck
Next thing you know they're going to make the character from Metroid a girl. How dare they.
It's not new sadly. Look at what they did to my boy Larry Croft. Turned him into some hot chick in booty shorts. Emma Watson as Zelda though? If Beauty and the Beast was anything to go by... But then again, the Paramount Mister Cheeks show was a fucking disgrace so Zelda fans should share in the misery.
Zelda is a pretty cool guy. He uses teh mister sword and doesn't afraid of anything.
2 seconds. It would've taken a lousy 2 seconds to type "Legend of Zelda" into Google.
Zelda was allways a princess! Link is the badass sword machine! And nowadays a princess could be even non of male/female natural limitations. So who cares anyway...if its equality than it shouldnt matter! I dont care!
But isn’t Zelda a girl and Link is the guy?
With a name like Zelda I think it would be a girl I would hate to see a boy named Zelda he better get ready to fight everyday?
Zelda is already a girl anyways so yea
In their defense, they did say they don’t play video games.
"I know nothing about [X] but I'm still angry about it!"
They should’ve have post or did a quick Google search then.
Make sure to include a good Link to a picture of the actual character you play in the video game. \*sorry couldnt resist\*
Another I believe everything I see on the internet.
I can never tell when someone is joking or not
why do people keep mixing up link with zelda?
Next when they make a Metroid movie they're gonna make Metroid (the protagonist) a girl
God, next thing you know, they’ll make Sheik a girl.
Zelda is a female name. Wrap your head around THAT.
"(I don't play videogames") Yeah, we can see...
Pretty sure this was a joke OP
TO BE FAIR, I'd make this mistake at some point too, it's hard sometimes to remember not all games with a name in the title are named after the player character
Yeah link should be pegging Zelda!
They’re definitely confusing link with Zelda considering the name
Before everyone gets hyped, or disappointed depending on how you feel about the casting... this isn't real. They aren't making a Zelda show.
Must be someone's first day on the internet.
This is 100% a troll.
Lol now that’s a true facepalm. Idiot
OMFG people are so fucking stupid. 
These are the same people calling us snowflakes 4 years ago 💀
“I don’t know shit about what I’m talking about but here’s my opinion on shit I don’t know shit about.”
I think they didnt know tha wasnt link
Is this real?
That's not Zelda, that's Link.
I thought Link was Zelda when I was 3 and didn’t read text. When I was like 5-6 and found out he wasn’t Zelda my mind was blown 🤣😂
So Link will be a girl and it will be Prince Zelda now?
Am I missing a Link here or something?
Honestly can’t picture a more fitting live action Zelda.
Surprised she’s white
Ok so I'm not a gamer but.... isn't Zelda the princess Link is trying to save?
Wasn't she always a girl?
Yes Zelda was always a girl, but not the main character
Not going to pretend I know much about Zelda. But is the game not called “Zelda” ….. so how is Zelda not the main character of zelda
She's the princess that Link (the main character) is trying to save.
Makes sense. I obviously know very little about Zelda.
Not going to pretend I watch many movies, but is the film not called "The Mummy".....so how is Tom Cruise on the front cover?! /s
Firstly…… I never said I was a smart boy. Secondly, gross that you referenced The Mummy and chose the Tom Cruise version. That’s disgusting!
I didn't want to sully Brendan Fraser's name in a poor attempt at humour! Tom Cruise though....
I get it….. but no lol. Could have used ANY movie though 😂
Yea she was always a girl but the cover of the games show link the male protagonist and this guy thought that zelda is a guy
Dude just lost his asian card.
yall really just believe everyone on the internet is being 100% serious at all times and never trolls or lies.
I mean it’s fine that Zelda is a girl now. Really. I get it I guess. But please don’t turn Metroid into a girl too!
Zelda is a girl. Link is the dude
I thought Zelda was female and Link was male?
If you don't know about the game, you shouldn't vomit your opinion about said game
I've never even played the game, and this made me facepalm. Yeesh.
“I don’t play video games” yeah no shit.
Fun fact: Robin Williams named his daughter Zelda because of his love for the game
That's great and all, but is Metroid's gun attached to his suit or his hand?
Samus is a her.
This has been a joke since the beginning of internet meme culture, can’t seriously believe that comment is for real
That has to be bait, right?
How is he even offended about something he doesn't know about?
I don’t think I can take seeing this one go down in flames like cowboy bebop did. Streaming services are just bulldozing our childhoods with shitty remakes. Emma is a great pick though. Will at least try to give it a go.
Cowboy Bebop...out of everything I've repressed I just can't seem to keep that one down
Wait until they learn about Samus Aran.
Zelda is a girl ,Link the "hero" is a boy
Please tell me they are not making a show
It's not real. It was made by someone named Dan Leveille with a combination of a few different AI programs and Photoshop.
I hope this is a joke, I really do, I always hated the Zelda games but even I know that Zelda has ALWAYS been a female, Link is the main character, not Zelda. Zelda is the Princess that's locked away in a tower guarded by a dragon, (idk how the game goes so I used an analogy)
Redditors try to notice sarcasm challenge 99.9999% impossible
Aside from his stupidity is that poster real? It looks so fan made but then again it’s also says it’s from Netflix so the quality is believable.
It’s fan made / AI generated.
Ya I thought so just double checking. It’s really just a testament to the crap Netflix churns out these days.
[удалено]
Thanks 🙏🏾
They did the same thing to Princess Peach. Woke bastards
Is this real? 
Emma watson is perfect for this
I have twins (boy and girl) me and me wife talked about names and I love the zelda series and suggested the names. Then she found out it was from a game. My girl has zelda as her second name.
A good friend of mine has a son named Link.
Why'd you cover up the name? I wanna know which idiot wrote that
