The editorial came from Samantha Puc in her first piece for Polygon. She had previously written for The Mary Sue, FAT and QUEER, and is a member of the Writers Guild of America, East.
Stupid bitch makes up shit because she's a stupid bitch.
Call me when someone who matters makes this statement, this article is solely meant to piss people off and get her name out there. Don't give these people any attention.
Doubly stupid and making shit up because she misquoted her own source in her rage bait. In the Kotaku article from 2015, Eiji Aonuma was talking about Tingle, not Link, so her queer speculation is even more baseless.
Five goddamn minutes of reading was all it took. Lazy writer, lazy editor, lazy Polygon. Lazy.
I love the silly "M" theory, that there's another, redhead goddess in a Betty and Veronica triangle with Link and Zelda. Marin, Malon, Midna, Mipha, etc.
They would probably point to specific times where Link is clearly not interested, oblivious to the notion that he might have any standards or preferences. Additionally, he is A CHILD in roughly half of the games (I say this as a relative outsider to the series).
Actually, maybe that's it. He generally starts every adventure as a sheltered, unassuming guy with some elvish (read: gay or cute) features. He's a groomer's dream victim.
It's true in a way that he is a gay icon, because they draw lots of pornography obsessing with a twinked up Link. But that doesn't have anything to do with in-game themes or story elements. This author has obviously not played Legend of Zelda.
The series HAS infused a certain character with sexuality. Not even in dialog, at least not directly, but in spirit and moxie, and that's Midna, and it's
one of those hetero japanese "infinitely old demon in the body of a 2ft tall cat girl" things. There is something to critique there. At least the seed of something. There's also the matter of the great fairies dancing and jubilating before our hero, tied to a reward for the hero, driving the playee to seek out their, ahem, gifts. But noooooo, globohomo calls for revisionism in culture, globohomo calls for gay icons, and globohomo receives.
Tingle has not done anything gay and I'll die on that hill. He's a real fairy dammit.

Is Fat and Queer like a magazine?
Ah yes, the "all elves are twinks" narrative. Very progressive.
Elves are twinks, orcs are blacks, goblins are jews.... lolol.
How the fuck is he a gay icon? In practically every Zelda game women are tripping all over Link’s dick.

Midna was down bad for Link

Isn’t this a variation of the “it was always woke” narrative they love pushing?
These people have been completely lobotomized from a porn addiction. They really need help.
They've gone so far in being unable to tell fantasy from reality, that they can't even tell fantasy from fantasy anymore.
Worst, they demand reality to bend to their fantasy.
Rule 34 for gays is as real as it is for straights. Does not make them icons. Polygon is still full of cunts, though.
Morbidly obese, bald, often masked and with problem glasses, (she/they) is exactly how you would imagine one of these fools.
Just a fair warning if you look up more details yourself.
