LK IS A GAY IN, AND ZELDA FANS KNOW
Legend of Zelda fans have long read Lk as gay or transgenr, even if his character is not nonilly queer. Fans have foced on shippg Lk and Sidon and drag readgs of the Gedo qut Breath of the Wild. * zelda is gay *
AO3 may not be the only metric for how many Zelda fans terpret Lk as gay and/or transgenr, but ’s one of the biggt. In art, ’s mon to see queer-d monsters and pecially queer-d villas, particularly bee of how the Hays Co prohibed pictns of homosexualy on screen.

It wouldn’t surprise me if some people would say “I would never play another Zelda game aga if Lk was gay”. Instead, if Lk really was gay should help people to see that such preferenc don’t change people.
TEARS OF THE KGDOM MIGHT HAVE INTRODUCED ZELDA'S FIRST GAY CHARACTER

It’s like the school-yard cliché that says mal wh their right ear pierced are homosexual. The tth of the matter is that Lk is gay, but he’s also straight. He’s gay if you want him to be, and the pot of that, the pot of all of this is as follows: don’t judge by sexualy.
