Fox News Outraged Over Link from 'Legend of Zelda' Being Celebrated as a Trans Icon

Fox News published an article criticizing the trans community's identification with Link, the protagonist of The Legend of Zelda, calling it a niche phenomenon disliked by the wider gaming community. However, Link was designed to defy gender norms and allow players to relate to him regardless of their gender identity. The article implies that trans people are grooming others through "egg-cracking," a term used in the trans community, and criticizes PBS for exploring Link's androgynous appearance. Trans people have a right to engage with media on their own terms and celebrate characters who remind them of themselves.
