All I heard was there would be Nintendo in the form of a special guest between so and so and so and so hour with Geoff Keighley on tomorrow's E3 show.
Will probably be Reggie and they'll just go at it like always.

Sometimes misguided is "completely incomprehensible" for me. I've long ago stopped trying to rationalize Nintendo's decisions. They do what they do. Not really anything to get upset about.
And yet, they still manage to shock me and blow away my warped (and generally ultra cynical) expectations. Not having a Digital Event this year was so legitimately shocking and below the nonexistent expectation I had.
I unironically miss the Golden Age Nintendo of the Wii/DS days :c
In terms of software, they are still putting out top notch content barring a couple of exceptions, so yes.
I'm a person who plays games for games, not because the company may have done something right or wrong with hardware.

Literally about to post this.
This is definitely the biggest hint to the there being an option.
Something's fishy.

That's either a female character or that little British fuck from Bayonetta 2.

I'm pretty sure the Link on the right is this one in a different angle. He's male.
Doesn't kill the Female Link possibility, but it just isn't her.
Going back it looks like it is the face from this art
Still, I think the female Link is probably happening.

I see things differently than you and that's fine!
I don't see games as only games, to me the context makes it all the sweeter. Kinda like last year's Sony E3. I don't give a flying damn about Shenmue 3 or The Last Guardian (I HATED Shadow of the Colossus), but it as so exciting seeing them and seeing them live. I am totally okay with companies showing games that won't come out for years if they make a kickass show about it. Which is why Nintendo's decisions of doing Digital Events have bummed me out.
And I haven't been crazy about a lot of Nintendo's recent titles, so you can naturally understand why it's a little more difficult for me to be enthusiastic.

My eyes are totally playing tricks on me I think...hooded Link appears more feminine because of the soft looking eyes, the other Link seems a little more fierce. I think I may have a Zelda problem, further adgitated by the lustful need to refresh any Zelda thread for new Infos.

What if Link can pull a Shiek?
He can become female with a ninja skill set.
Doubt since I think its the same link on that Lanyard

No one knows the sex of that individual.
They sure don't have the nose of the first Link artwork UNLESS IT'S CHILD LINK.

So, Link girl with bandaged breasts?
I think they're just using the concept art they've already used and will show female link as a big reveal. This is the male one, come on.

Still looks like the same person to me... but I'd totally be cool with it.
I'm taking into consideration that the NX and Zelda will be more than 12 months away.
The hooded Link on the lanyard looks female to me. I see slight breasts and longer hair on hooded Link (going past the neck)!

Wait I haven't been on here, was it already confirmed that that artwork Link isn't a girl?
Or was it some community agreement everyone's sticking to?
Unless there's a source, I think that's a girl.

I see no definitive proof that's male or female, come on.
That is a girl both on the lanyard and in the art riding the horse. A right-handed girl even. For me this pretty much confirms the possibility of choosing male or female for "Link".
The Link on the left and in the leaked art today is obviously a male and different from the girl Link.

I really hope not but I think there's a 40% chance.

Go with what you want, but it looks like the exact same Link as the bow concept art, and so far, Nintendo only talked about a male Link
Not saying it won't change, just that this is the official word for now and he doesn't look that girly (unlike the reveal trailer).
Or what if they are simply not going to reveal the subtitle of the game yet. Game is at least 9 months away... :C
Different nose and mouth, different chin. If it's the same Link it's not done very well.
People are setting themselves up to be mad, honestly.

That's possible too and would suck.
Why would someone be mad? Mad about what?
It's a different piece of art with different lighting and in a different pose. Probably by different artists, too.
People are going to mad when they don't show off a Female Link.

hold out,not worth it at this point,just wait for NX
Yes it's confirmed choice between male or female imo
Plot twist: we play as twins or we play as a link from the future and one from the past

But link is using his right hand to shoot the arrow in the left image.
Hah. Oh yeah, female Link is definitely happening.

That's actually Link's lil sis Twinkie.

Looks like Link and Link with the hood on and a different camera angle.
Occam's razor.
Knowing the reaction from Zelda community, this will be the last on the list of controversy, the absence of a female Link, if that's the case. There will be so many things to complain before that. The open world itself will fill in hundreds of pages, as it did already since the reveal. So I wouldn't be too preemptive about this one in particular.
Plot twist.
Zelda IS link.
And after this episode, the meaning of "the Legend of zelda" will change forever

looks like the same exact link in both arts to me
So you don't see the different nose, different mouth and different chin?
Characters can look different between pieces of art.
People tried to fool themselves into thinking it was reality 2 years ago and got all upset at anyone that tried to say otherwise, so yeah, it's going to piss a lot of people off.
It is. You would think that people would have learned after we went through this exact same thing before with the initial reveal.
