Honestly, he's not supposed to be twink-ish. The problem is that western porn-brains see him dressing up as a woman in disguise as gay, rather than as comedic.
I guess from that point of view, that is true (and I wasnt trying to imply otherwise).
I was more thinking of the fact that he is generally very lanky and has tended to have some baby-faced features in many of his depictions, rather than a more Western style "grizzled hero" look. Which makes sense due to the elf-like nature of both him and Zelda, but like you said some Western people take that in a different direction and make it into something it isnt.
That's the most tragic part about it. Link's a great model for a boy wanting to go on an adventure. The last thing that should be done is sexualizing him.
Troon Zelda?
I thought it was pretty clear they were going with Twink Link.
To be fair, that at least makes sense as Link has been kind of twink-ish in several of the games.
