So I'm so happy that I get to say Breath of the Wild link right off the tip.

So we talked about this at the outset.

And Ben alluded to this.

As someone who's played Zelda since I was a child, I have been mispronouncing it's Gerudo with a hard G. Yes.

Can I just get some sympathy from my fellow hosts here in mispronouncing various terms in video games?

Because you read them first and then voice actors later get to read them for us.

It is Gerudo.

for an extraordinarily long time and I'm really trying to get myself to say Gerudo and I will do it anyway the Gerudo outfit that Link wears in Breath of the Wild and his adorable blush when he gets complimented on it is really enough to take the cake I think it's worth saying though like Link often doesn't have much of a personality as it were because he's a cypher he's a stand-in we're meant to project ourselves onto Link but

But I think the ease with which one can project oneself onto Link is kind of aided by moments like that.

And in Breath of the Wild, he has quite a few endearing expressions.

I'm also a short person.

I'm also someone who likes to dress androgynously.

I also enjoy a queer reading of Link.

And I think all of those things really lend themselves to the Breath of the Wild Link, which is part of why that's Link's

that I most easily see myself in and also just really enjoy the way that you see his personality lightly sprinkled over the course of that game.

So yeah, it's Breath of the Wild Link for me, for sure.

It's so true.

I will say Tears of the Kingdom Link is still up for grabs though.

Like I think that's where I'm not including that version of...

of him he's a little older he's a little cooler he can combine different items with his arrows I'm just saying like if somebody else wants that link they can have him I think it's only fair that we just pick snapshots of specific games otherwise what are we doing here?
