Aonuma Confirms Zelda Link Between Worlds Villain Yuga Is A Man, Plus Other Details

zelda_link_between_worlds_bad_guy

The Legend of Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma has revealed that the main villain in The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds is actually a man called Yuga. Aonuma confesses that one of the things the team did is make him a little bit ambiguous gender-wise. Aonuma also says that Yuga sings in the game, but wouldn’t say too much more on the subject.

“We also asked if he had any other details to share about the villain named Yuga. We couldn’t help but notice a visual connection to the Gerudo, a race of humans introduced in Zelda: Ocarina of Time that consisted solely of females, with one male born every hundred years. “I don’t think he’s a Gerudo, “ Aonuma clarified. “I think perhaps the designers were a bit influenced by the art from past games. One of things we did with him, actually, was to make him a little bit ambiguous gender-wise, whether he’s a man or a woman. Having the longer hair and all. He also actually sings in the game.”

“As you probably know, after A Link to the Past, Link goes off on a trip. The Link in this game is a different one. So I think we can assume that it’s quite a bit farther in the future, ” Aonuma said through an interpreter. But according to the timeline, A Link to the Past is followed by the Oracle of Seasons/Ages games, Link’s Awakening, and the original Zelda games on the NES. Would there be any specifics callouts take place during the adventure? “I’ll leave that to your imagination. Although, for example, Link’s Awakening is not a game that takes place in Hyrule itself, so it’s not like it directly connects to that one. Maybe that’s the right track to get you there?”

    1. Why is this a headline, there SHOULD BE A THING CALLED SPOILERS, YOU PIECE OF SHIT ASS MOTHERFUCKING SON OF A BITCH.Who ever wrote this article and put this in the headline is an idiot and his family should be tortured in front of him and then his neck should be broken, but he would survive and go around in a wheelchair.

    2. My gosh…what happened to villains like Zant and Ganon? Ones where you can tell their gender. This individual looks like the child of a clown and The Joker. XD

    3. Nintendo Sub-Lieutenant

      Correct me if I’m mistaken, but the Zelda Oracle of Ages and Seasons games had female antagonists. Ocarina of Time had two Female Bosses. They even had a theme song. (Which I thought was weird). You wanna Female that is also the main antagonist right? She better be sexy. I don’t wanna chase an ugly thing around.

    4. Majora’s Mask, Oracle of Ages, Oracle of Seasons (if you count twin rova)

      definitely not a lot but there are some.
      WEIRD ALL OF THESE ARE MY FAVORITE ZELDAS
      I’ll tell you about my mother! ‘flips table’

    1. Still not as queer as you though no doubt. and what the fuck is a gannan you illiteral piece of shit? Nice avatar by the way, Banjo Kazooie. Great game, shame it’s dead. Like your mom? she dead :( poor mom. who cares for you now? the orphanage? HAHAHAHA.

      1. mad Nintendofans Lost their minds.Go play your 1# party only and avoid more 3rd party they allready quit supporting Wii u thanks to the Brainwashed Nintendofags.Good job keep killing 3rd party on every Nintendo console.

        1. reason 3rd party are dead on Nintendo consoles is because they can’t compete with the quality of Nintendo games. When a game sales well such as MH4 or Xenoblade, means that the quality of the game compete with Nintendo’s

                    1. Nintendo greedy Mofos that only build consoles for Hobos ALL NINTENDOFANBOYS GOT OWNED LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL IF YOU READ THIS YOUR NINTENDOFAGGOT JAJAJAJA

          1. and you sir are a fucking cunt losing your time trying to convince yourself by harassing others. Your plan won’t work, go back playing your shitty vita games.

              1. You are not real. You are only doing this to mess with us. You don’t really feel that way about Nintendo because you don’t take the time to back up your claims. You are simply wasting bandwidth and sucking the life out of this site. You are nothing.

    1. Nintendo Worst Company 2013-2020 Fact.If you deny that you Supid LoLoLOlOl Now play Pikmen 3 and dont cry if they die ;(

  4. all the artwork released for this game is getting me super interested. I can’t remember the last time I was this excited for a game, maybe skyrim…

  5. Why not just make “him” a “her?” Is it too hard to make a female villain in a Zelda game? I liked the idea of him/her being the female opposite version of Ganondorf in Lorule… :(

  6. I’m excited for this game, but Aonuma has been releasing way too many details about it. By the time the game is out, there will be little surprises left. I know I don’t have to read the articles, but it’s hard not to when every gaming site keeps religiously publishing every minute detail of the game. Ohh well, that’s the way it is on the Internet.

    1. That’s the way it is with every Zelda game. By the time I finally play them, I feel like I already have, because of seeing SO many videos and articles leading up to the games launches.

      1. Same thing happens to me. We just have to limit the informatiom we let ourselves absorb. I’m going to try hard to do that. It just makes the game feel fresh and enriches the overall experience.

  7. #WeirdestBonerRightNow

    lol this game is gonna be like phantom hourglass or links awakening. it was all a dream. umadbros?

    but what if…this is all happening when Link is passed out in the stock pot inn after sniffing the rotten mushroom in the gym shorts so ALBW is one giant trip and link wakes up in Termina MIND = BLOWN TO OPTIMISTIC PROPORTIONS

  9. What’s up with Nintendo making drag-queen looking characters in Zelda games? Those two that ran the cannon shooting game in Twilight Princess creeped me out. And Ghirahim was VERY disturbing. I LOVED kicking his gay ass.
