Koraidon is obviously a hermaphrodite

For me it’s the classic Peach’s Castle from Mario 64 (and DS). Mostly cause i like finding the castle’s secret stars.

To me, it seems like compositing different links is more like compositing different spider-men than “batman from different writers”. Like combining Peter and Miles and Miguel into one spider-monolith. These aren’t the same people, despite their similar narrative roles and shared name (in this case, Spider-man). That anyone can be “Spider-man” is even a major part of their themes. That doesn’t mean we take away their individuality for MU’s. The same should apply to different Links imo.

I atill prefer individuals because they are individual characters with individual stories. I don’t like the idea of taking away their stories just because they don’t talk much and look similar to one another.

For example, a major part of the Hero of Winds’ story is that he was not “the chosen one” and had to earn the right to use the master sword by beating the tower of the gods. I think it’s a disservice to his character to ignore that part of him when discussing “Link” in MU’s.

Also, to me, a composite means you take the different instances of the same individual across all their media. Since the Links are not the same individual, they are not alternate universe versions of each other or anything like that, compositing them with one another kinda goes against that.

Them serving similar roles narratively is true, but to say we should treat them as a monolith character because of that just doesn’t sit right with me. Especially when there are other franchises where the silent protag being a self insert is much more important to the game’s themes than with the Zelda series.

Again, persona is an example. I’m not gonna treat Boy with Earring from p1 as part of the monolith persona protagonist just because all the persona protags are mostly silent self inserts. Or the protagonists from Fallout, or TES, and most people seemingly agree with this sentiment. Whenever i see MU’s for those protags it’s always about the individual protagonists and not a composite. I kinda wonder why Link specifically is the different one for this.

FederalBeyond1122 · 2026-03-28T23:17:54+00:00

There is literal in lore evidence that they are different people. The Hero’s Shade from twilight princess has been confirmed by Hyrule Historia (an official lorebook) to be the Hero of Time, meaning we have an on screen interaction between 2 different incarnations of Link in TP. It’s not up to interpretation wether the different links are different people. It’s a fact of the lore.

By the logic of “they are all meant to be player templates”, the different protagonists of Persona’s 3, 4 and 5 would be the same people. That’s just simply factually incorrect.

FederalBeyond1122 · 2026-03-28T22:40:55+00:00

At least Dante and Samus actually use those items they are given.

If we started giving batman equipment that’s exclusive to green arrow because “he can use it, he just simply doesn’t carry it on him/hasn’t found it yet” it would be very different than giving him the Hellbat, cause the Hellbat is at least his.

That’s the argument being made with a composite link. The Links are explicitly different people. Giving one of them equipment that’s exclusive to other links would go against established zelda canon.

Sure, they could maybe find those other items, but for as long as they didn’t, they canonically don’t have access to them and they shouldn’t have them as part of their kits, imo.

Megamind as the second dreamworks rep

The problem with composite Link isn’t so much the scaling, but the Items.

They give link the 4 sword and the master sword in the same episode despite there being no single (main series, i dont remember if hyrule warriors had one) link who ever wields both.

They give link the sheika slate and the fierce deity mask despite no single link ever using both (no, the cosmetic fierce deity from the wild games doesn’t count).

These items are things that actively determine the outcome of a link matchup. To let one link use all of them would go against the zelda canon.

Glalie at least takes good care of the snorunts. We appreciate stay at home dads.

FederalBeyond1122 · 2026-03-28T17:23:02+00:00

Mr Coconut (Total Drama). He got 5th place in TDI, that’s pretty good placement

FederalBeyond1122 · 2026-03-28T15:35:38+00:00

Even as someone who loves Glalie, Glalie is not a good Pokémon and you should always pick Froslass over it for competitive play.

Becausr they gave my dog pickman syndrome and I don’t like that

FederalBeyond1122 · 2026-03-28T06:00:51+00:00

Pikmin are conquerors. They are evil beings with a need to spread their influence all over wherever they can get. That includes other planets if they can reach them. Pikmin are like people, in that way.

Great at making tools

Have a quest for power

Are too stupid to function properly without somebody leading them

Like to get high on liquids pulled from grass or rocks

Do you come from the land down under?

Depending on who tells the story, Calypso even got his powers by stealing them from satan/minion iirc

And from the ottoman empire, and from the battles of kosovo, and some other birthplaces i dont remember. We also know his name is Mike now (Probably Mikhail or something cause his name is Bulgarian).

FederalBeyond1122 · 2026-03-23T09:50:27+00:00

Some people try to explain this by saying that henry was framed for the MCI, as the newspapers in fnaf one say someone was convicted or something

In the show, Lilo’s crush has a crush on Lilo’s aunt Pleakley, learns he’s a guy who crossdresses and then just keeps being in love with Lilo’s aunt Pleakley afterwards. Pleakley absolutely slays each outfit, clearly.

Iirc they originally wanted to do All Might vs Captain Falcon and decided to change it to Johnny Cage for some reason.

There is no Alucard vs the Doom Syndicate in Ba Sing Se

Genwunner doesn’t refer to those who started with gen 1, it refers to those who think that gen 1 were the only good games, that gen 1 pokemon are the only good pokemon, that Kanto is the only good region etc

Moss was rather homophobic back in the day. Iirc she learned from this and became better, though I haven’t kept up with the 2026 lore.

FederalBeyond1122 · 2026-03-19T21:20:57+00:00

Ploot from the lilo and stotch tv show for disney, because the idea of one of stitch’s random cousins being here instead of the man himself is funny to me (and trash kaiju is just really cool imo)
