        Serious time: it was never a very good theory. There are clearly dialog options where they zoom over Link expressing complex ideas to someone he just met. Unless you want to assume into existence a sign language that everyone in Hyrule knows, Link can talk just like anyone else.

          The meta reason is that the player is supposed to supply Link’s dialog, since he’s just the player avatar. Your “link” to the game world.

    Femboys=/=twinks tho. Also, most older iterations of him are more otter than anything. Also also, dont call children twinks, otters, or femboys. It’s weird.

      Not all versions of link have him aged as a kid, so we can use our own adult brains and assume this one isn’t either. Plus, I got called a twink all the time in highschool bro, chill out it’s just a meme lol

      I don’t think Link has ever been depicted as having any body hair, so he can’t really be an otter. Also twink has evolved beyond its usage in gay culture. These days it’s more of a general term that implies vague queerness more than explicit cis male homosexuality. We don’t really know if Link is a femboy, trans femme, trans masc, or what, but he’s definitely a twink under the modern sexuality agnostic usage.

        No, that’s not what twink means.

          Why don’t you list the definition you’re operating under so we can skip the talking past each other argument. I was saying twink in it’s modern usage is more of a vibe than strict “gay cis male early twenties with low body hair and body fat”. I wasn’t saying that sentence is the entire definition of twink, so you’re right that’s not what twink means.

      I think it’s okay for the joke, not that I speak for everyone, but I think we have bigger things to be mad at.
