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.
