The Hylia - Zelda: Tingle Voted Gay

Home | Community | Tingle Voted "Gayest" Character




The Legend of Zelda series just seems to be extremely popular with the homosexual gaming community (as well as females, males, children and adults - no wonder it is so popular). Today, GayGamer.net ranked its top twenty most "gay" characters in video games. Take one wild guess who took home the grand prize by going off the meter on their "gaydar"?

Tingle, that thirty-five year-old man who pretends to be a fairy, took home top honors from GayGamer.net's awards for gayest characters. Set to start in his own game later this year in Japan, and already a mainstay of the series appearing in six titles to date (according to Nintendo), Tingle is quickly giving Link a run for his money in the spotlight here in North America.

In addition to this award, awhile back Link won the "hottest" video game character award from a magazine that specializes in homosexual culture. Honestly, I'm not shocked. Nintendo really hasn't solidified Link's sexual status, and even Comedy Central has taken a stab at the gender-confused Hylian with their portrayal of "Xandir" on their popular animated reality series "Drawn Together". Also, from what I've seen, there's as many female Link cosplayers as there are males.


Personally, I would like it if Link ended up with Zelda in Twilight Princess, even if Nintendo never has them romantically involved again. We can have just one game where something happens - it won't ruin the series or end the world. But alas, perhaps this is just one of the many facets of the Zelda franchise that makes it so widely accepted and popular. Who knows?

Did you know there is a documentary on The Legend of Zelda series? Unfortunately, it is only in Japanese, but with the help of some fans, one day this priceless work may be translated for all to enjoy!
