Well that settles it. You get the prize for best off the wall comment.

[UnderscoreX]

Because he's so damn hott. (http://www.zelda-fans.com/archives/2006/06/link-voted-as-hottest-video-game-character/)

[Wheatpenny]

He is smiling because he is one of the few people who can wear a long green cap and a green almost dresslike tunic(in twilight princess it wasn't so bad he had pants this time.) and actualy look manly.

The reason why all those kids write the fanfics about his getting it on, with no subtlety in the romantic sections of said stories; simply 4 letter words, then two 3 letter words.

They went sexy okay cool?!

THE END

that story was AWESOME. it cut straight to the action unlike those other books about making sexy with a shoulder.

[Scejntjynahl]

He is sexy because he is the essence of a true hero. Not some egotistical, emo, scarred, etc version of a hero that just happened to be there. No. Link is a hero. He defines heroism at its most altruistic definition. The ideal hero with a touch of humility and self sacrifice. And yet approachable.

I agree. I think deep down somewhere EVERYONE can identify with Link. I think that also the fact that other than some grunts and some shouts that Link is in a way a "silent protagonist" which allows him to be in a way more itentifyable, hence he is defined by his actions and facial expressions more as a charecter not dialouge he is a everyman's hero so to speak.

Hey, this is my topic, right?

Ideal, yes, the ideal hero. But I have qualms with your use of "bourgeoisie" to identify Link. I believe Link is nothing like that at all.

bourgeoisie [(boor-zhwah-zee)]


In general, the middle class. Applied to the Middle Ages, it refers to townspeople, who were neither nobles nor peasants. In Marxism it refers to those who control the means of production and do not live directly by the sale of their labor. Karl Marx distinguished between the “haute” (high) bourgeoisie (industrialists and financiers) and the “petite” (small or “petty”) bourgeoisie (shopkeepers, self-employed artisans, lawyers). Marxism postulates a fundamental conflict between the interests of the bourgeoisie and those of the propertyless workers, the proletariat.

Note: “Bourgeois” may also refer to mediocre taste or to the flashy display of wealth by the nouveau riche.

I don't still see how Link can be indetified as such. He even isn't a prince like some other video game heroes are. Nor a merchant, land owner, artisan, etc. And by no means is he flashy at all. Come on he has practically being wearing the same clothing since his incarnation in 1987 >.>;;

I can't speak definitively re: Solstis's intentions, but I think he means that romanticized notion of this "perfect", largely one-dimensional hero is in keeping with superficial bourgeois taste. At least, that's how I see it.

[Scrub]

Link doesn't have a personality, guys.

Just bringing that up.

[Scejntjynahl]

One dimensional? Oo

I can see what you mean, but to me its still a bit farfetched. I dont think he was ever intended to be "perfect" but he just achieves that status, for lack of a better word -_-, by his actions. I guess you can say he is "boring" because it is a foregone conclusion that Link can not and would not do wrong, and thus becomes predictable. But what better role model could there be? But I just can not associate the adjective of "superficial" for Link. In fact he is one of the few characters that can safely be said to fit this cliche line, "what you see, is what you get".

Also when Soltis added the " http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_nono.gif " I took what he said as a deragatory comment. >.>;;

And when they bark they shoot bees at you.

Well not that actually.

I mean, their own nuts. They shoot their own nuts at you, Deku Nuts, from their mouth.
