E3 2014: Eiji Aonuma Says “No One Said” That Was Link

The Legend of Zelda

Possibly the most talked about game of E3 so far was the official unveiling of the new Legend of Zelda game, even without a title. From the lush grass to pretty much everything else, it shocked us. However, one topic of discussion has been how the Link seen in the trailer looked like it could have been a female, which of course Eiji Aonuma has now had to fuel even farther with his own statement.

When asked about Link’s appearance in the trailer, without the signature green tunic and hat, Aonuma had the following to say:

No one explicitly said that that was Link.

While he is likely just playing around, could we have the possibility of choosing between a male or female Link this time around? Or could Zelda even be the hero this time? Only time will tell as we won’t be seeing the release of the game until 2015.
