Its very funny to me that these days Link is the genderfluid one of much fan canon obsession.

Back in my day, Zelda just dressed up as a ninja sometimes and was a mysterious ninja badass, smoke bombs and everything!

It must have been a pretty tight binder, fooled me!

Presumably also must have done a fair deal of voice training as well, as Link doesn’t even figure it out untill … they(?) literally flash him.
