Why can't Link be black? AKA I was trolled by this article, but its still fukked up:snoop:

[MeachTheMonster]

it's common for blond hair to become darker with age. like I said before, I think this has more to do with the art-style they choose. 'cartoon link' has yellow hair. the older, more 'realistic' link has brown hair

I'm not sure when his eye color really changed. it's usually blue-ish, or just black (no color shown) like in Wind Waker. again, that seems to have more to do with art style[/QUOTE
Having darker skin could be attributed to "art style" as well.

As I said it seems everything is on the table and considered reasonable other than darker skin

Look at how much flack ubisoft is getting for not having a female assasin.

Yet nobody is claiming how it doesn't make since cause prior assasins were male, or that females should just make their own games.

Y'all dudes man

Are y'all even black?

Again with this same dumb ass shyt.

You building/developing every product that caters to your needs?

I've seen you here complaining about plenty if products. Why didn't you just shut up and make your own?

And who said anything about "the black experience"? Zelda isn't portraying the white experience, he is an elf in a magical land. You wouldn't need to know anything about black people in order to allow the elves to have varying skin colors. No one is asking Nintendo to make a rpg about growing up in Chicago.

I'm not complaining about it am I? I'm not the guy asking why Asian don't include more black in their games and criticizing them for it. I'm not saying they shouldn't do it I'm saying the reason they don't is pretty obvious regardless of it being right or wrong.

 

[duncanthetall]

Ya'll really need to go find worthwhile shyt to complain about.

 

[up in here]

I honestly would like more Black protagonists in video games (specifically children's video games) but I would rather they be new original characters.

As far as the whole, "but people have no problem with link being a girl", that's a stupid arguement because a) Link isn't and has never been a girl and b) it's only a small section of people who actually want link to be a girl. Yes Link has gone through changes over the years but nothing really all that drastic. Also, personally I don't really want Link to be a girl, or gay and I don't really mind that he is "white", especially since he is from a fictional universe and Hyrulians never enslaved my ancestors. I would like more Black protagonists but see no reason to change established ones.

I do have a problem with Blackface use in asian countries. That's weird as hell to me and has never sat well.

The Windwaker skin color switch did kinda shock me as I was really liking the idea of a darker skinned Zelda. I never put together the whole closed in royalty vs tanned pirate shyt, I just thought she turned into the old Zelda. But since we talking about Windwaker, we could probably also note that King Hyrule himself was darker skinned like Tetra.

your delusions has no end.

Look bruh, you are making my point so abundantly clear its comical. The way you are reacting
Why wouldn't any other Asian person react the same way?
You take pride in your heritage, but you are ignorant. Your heritage comes from Africa and its really common sense if you LOOK at it bruh

Buddah is what Asian cultures worship, correct?
All the statues they worship look like Africans. Buddah's name is what bruh?
It's not Buddah. What do they call him in Asia (Samboha)
Or how many cities in Asia have the word "Naga" in it (or sambo)
Scientist even back up what I'm saying
http://www.science-frontiers.com/sf065/sf065a01.htm

The reaction from people such as yourself mirror the reaction said in the article
But back to the lesson
Buddah comes from what race? You should do your research bruh. He is from the Naga race
An African race to be exact Naga means snake. And the statues of Buddah in Asia all have a Naga in it
The same Naga you can find here
Or you can look at Naga People

But I'm talking a foreign language to you right now, a language called common sense
Let's peep the definition of the word Naga in the Indian dictionary...

Nāga (IAST: nāgá, Burmese pronunciation: [naːɡá]) is the Sanskrit and Pāli word for a deity or class of entity or being

Deity or Class eh
But you wanna know more about the Asian connection so...

Traditions about nāgas are also very common in all the Buddhist countries of Asia. In many countries, the nāga concept has been merged with local traditions of great and wise serpents or dragons such as the Burmese nat (Burmese: နတ်‌; MLCTS: IPA: [naʔ]). In Tibetan religion, the nāga was equated with the klu (Tibetan: ཀླུ་) that dwell in lakes or underground streams and guard treasure. In China, the nāga was equated with the Chinese dragon (Chinese: 龍; pinyin: lóng).

The Buddhist nāga generally has the form of a great cobra, usually with a single head but sometimes with many. At least some of the nāgas are capable of using magic powers to transform themselves into a human semblance. In Buddhist painting, the nāga is sometimes portrayed as a human being with a snake or dragon extending over his head.[11] One nāga, in human form, attempted to become a monk; when telling it that such ordination was impossible, the Buddha told it how to ensure that it would be reborn a human, able to become a monk.[12]

Now lets take it back to Africa...

Why is this African kid doing this Asian looking move

What is that Nigra doing with a Naga on his head

King Kashta rocked the double Naga

Yup

The hooded cobra Muchilinda, King of the Naga, is often shown protecting Buddha during the storm that arose after his enlightenment.
So then lets look at the statues now in Asia and you tell what Asians have these characteristics

Wide nose, big lips. Asians are traditionally pretty good artist too
In Cambodia, this is the oldest Buddha statue

Gotta love them African Cornrows
Thailand

This is in a Chinese Monastary from 12 centuries ago

And to answer your question yesterday about "where is the history"
Here ya go...

In 1998 the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science concluded a study by the Chinese Human Genome Diversity Project and made public their findings which stated that “Most of the population of modern China – one fifth of all the people living today – owes its genetic origins to Africa…”. The study was the result of a consortium of several leading research groups in the People’s Republic of China in combination with the Human Genetics Center at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston, Texas. The research was funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China. In addition to genetic evidence linking China to Africa, archeological evidence has recorded close to 100 “pyramids” that are located in a 100km area around the city Xi’an in central China. This site is also well known as the location of the famous life-size terracotta warriors. Further study of the history and art of the Shang and Chou dynasties in China will reveal even more African influences. All of this is not to say, however, that Chinese culture is African. It is not and should never be misinterpreted to be. Instead, this information and evidence points to a clear interaction and anthropological connection that must be acknowledged if the complete story is to be told in its entirety.

So while you and every other race tries to deny the Black Influence, you're retarded.
They called Black people Naga's bruh. America calls them nikkaz.
The evidence is everywhere but because of racial prejudices you refuse to acknowledge it.

In 1492 Columbus sailed the Ocean blue. He sailed and sailed and sailed and sailed
For life he sailed for meeee and you!!! (That's what I was taught)
