Whichever studio takes this project on will face a massive challenge to appease this fan base. Mario got criticism for not being progressive (I'm not going to link that shit) but the LoZ fanbase is a different animal altogether.
From the Polygon article;
"Link dressing in drag is also just one example of queerness in Breath of the Wild. Another is his very flirtatious banter with Prince Sidon, who’s widely considered to be a queer-coded character on his own. Although Link has to rescue Sidon’s sister from the Divine Beast Vah Ruta, it’s clear that there’s an emotional connection between these two men as well. Sidon calls Link his best friend and repeatedly talks about how much he believes in Link. He even carries Link to Vah Ruta on his own back, which makes it feel as if the characters are handling the first part of the boss fight together, with mutual trust and physical intimacy.
The relationship between Sidon and Link has been explored in all kinds of fan works since the game was released, including fanfiction ranging from a few thousand to hundreds of thousands of words per story, as well as mature comics and plenty of spicy fan art."
I would personally like to see Link whip out his Sheikah Slate and open his "Plenty of Hylians" app mid quest for an opportune booty call. Some slapper from Kakariko village dropping her drawers near Dantes graveyard would make for an interesting side quest.
Either way, I see a Hogwarts Legacy style boycott on the horizon...
