'The Legend of Zelda' 40th Anniversary Draft | Button Mash

And that's going to be the next hour.

'The Legend of Zelda' 40th Anniversary Draft | Button Mash

So I get to pick my favorite link first because we're going in order of the categories.

The Ringer-Verse
'The Legend of Zelda' 40th Anniversary Draft | Button Mash

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

'The Legend of Zelda' 40th Anniversary Draft | Button Mash

So we talked about this at the outset.

'The Legend of Zelda' 40th Anniversary Draft | Button Mash

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.

'The Legend of Zelda' 40th Anniversary Draft | Button Mash

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

The Ringer-Verse
'The Legend of Zelda' 40th Anniversary Draft | Button Mash

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

The Ringer-Verse
'The Legend of Zelda' 40th Anniversary Draft | Button Mash

It is Gerudo.

The Ringer-Verse
'The Legend of Zelda' 40th Anniversary Draft | Button Mash

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

The Ringer-Verse

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.

'The Legend of Zelda' 40th Anniversary Draft | Button Mash

I'm also a short person.

The Ringer-Verse
'The Legend of Zelda' 40th Anniversary Draft | Button Mash

I'm also someone who likes to dress androgynously.

The Ringer-Verse
'The Legend of Zelda' 40th Anniversary Draft | Button Mash

I also enjoy a queer reading of Link.

The Ringer-Verse
'The Legend of Zelda' 40th Anniversary Draft | Button Mash

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

The Ringer-Verse
'The Legend of Zelda' 40th Anniversary Draft | Button Mash

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.

The Ringer-Verse
'The Legend of Zelda' 40th Anniversary Draft | Button Mash

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

The Ringer-Verse
'The Legend of Zelda' 40th Anniversary Draft | Button Mash

It's so true.

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