Pictures from the Hyrule Warriors artbook show concept for female Link
A Nintendo fan from China took to Tumblr to share some pictures from the upcoming Hyrule Warriors artbook. Most of it was pretty normal stuff – except for the interesting scan below.
What you are seeing is a scrapped concept for a female Link. According to a reported translation, the character above is called Rinkuru. There is some debate on the internet if the character is Link’s sister or a female version of Link
What do you think of this character? Check out the rest of the art below.

I don’t believe it is Link. People who’ve already translated it says it’s Link’s sister.
But I’m glad the idea was scrapped by Nintendo. Gender bending shoud be left on the internet only.

Sebastian PadillaWhy
not take that idea to make a link sister instead…. links companion
and she becomes hero as link “like”, but in co op mode. In one player
mode is link but you will have your side link sister taking care of you.
You can give her weapons, shields and so on. If the game goes harder
and harder… Yhat would be nice idea to add to a Zelda game, but link
as chosen one “Hero of hyrule” with his sister of course! :D
