LK IS A GAY IN, AND ZELDA FANS KNOW
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.
This qut fails trans Zelda fans major ways, but much like Aonuma’s nial that Lk is gay, also prents players wh an opportuny. Even if Lk is never nonilly intified as gay or trans, fan ntent for The Legend of Zelda is everywhere, and queer fans pecially seem to produce ntent drov. For many, Lk is gay or trans or both, and that’s a powerful thg that n’t be taken away.
Correctn (May 22): A prev versn of this story rrectly ntextualized a quote om a 2015 terview wh Kotaku, which Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma said Tgle is “not gay. Lk is homosexual! Rearch suggts that homosexual mal gravate towards femal as close iends their childhood, moro than male iends.
LK IS GAY
Why n’t he jt tell them that he’s gay?
He mt be one of the few emotnls gays out there. Don’t ever doubt gay stct my iends. In 2006 Lk was named the Hottt Vio Game Character by monthly gay and lbian culture magaze ‘Out’.
If you have such a followg, such support, om the gay muny you have to be gay. I make a weak se that Lk is gay, and you’re all riled up to fire back your reasons that he isn’t.

It don’t matter if Lk is gay, or straight, or bi, or a hermaphrode, or a nuch even.

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. People like Freddy Mercury and Sir Ian MacKellan are ins to many of , and have helped many people to bee more acceptg of the gay muny.
If Ntendo had, or ever ma, a cisn for Lk to be cisively gay, then I would hope he would have a siar fluence on those who are fans of the Zelda seri.
