lgbt+ video game characters pt. ii

Hey everyone, Cid here! Since I had received a LOT of on my first LGBT characters post (which you can find here), I thought that I would go a bit more in-depth and explore some more characters today.

So, without further ado, let’s get on with the post!

Link

{The Legend of Zelda series}

Link is the main protagonist in the Legend Of Zelda game series. The first game came out in 1986, and it’s been a very popular game series to this day. There have been many installments with the most recent one being released in June of 2019.

Throughout the games, Link shows little to no romantic or physical interest in other people. Therefore, I would infer that he is either asexual or aromantic (or possibly both). Even if he isn’t, I find the games in general really enjoyable!

My rating:

I would recommend this series to everyone! So far with all of the LoZ games I’ve played, I’ve enjoyed each and every one. I’ve spent countless hours exploring Hyrule and going on many adventures. If you like adventure games with amazing music, I would highly recommend this series.

Alphys & Undyne

{Undertale}

On my first post, I got a LOT of people talking about Undertale and some of the characters there. So, I thought I would cover a few characters from this wonderful game!

First off, we’ve got Alphys and Undyne. They are a lesbian couple in the video game series Undertale. This game was created by Toby Fox in 2015 and it hit the internet by storm. It’s still extremely popular today and I really enjoy it!

In the game, you play as a human who has fallen into a world of monsters. As you travel throughout this world in order to get back to your home with the humans, you meet many colorful and fun characters/monsters along the way. A couple of these monsters that you meet are Undyne and Alphys.

My headcanon is that Undyne is lesbian and that Alphys is Bisexual, but that’s up to interpretation. Nonetheless, both characters are wonderful and part of the LGBT+ community and I love them so much!

My rating:

I would recommend this game for individuals 13+ because of some of the themes and/or horror elements in the game. However, it’s too bad! I really enjoy it, and I would highly recommend it.

Tracer

{Overwatch}

Overwatch is a multiplayer first-person shooter game that came out in May of 2016. It was produced by Blizzard Entertainment and it’s been a pretty popular online game. I’ve been told that there are a few different LGBT+ characters in this game, but for today I’ll be covering Tracer.

Tracer is one of the main characters in the game. She is a “Damage” character and her weapons are pistols. She is confirmed to have a girlfriend name Emily, and also a confirmed lesbian.

My rating:

From what I’ve seen online, I would rate this game for 10+. It’s a FPS so it’s probably a bit intense, although I’ve heard that there isn’t blood or anything graphic in it. While I haven’t played it myself, I’m hoping to be able to take a dive into the game myself one of these days and see what it’s like.

Frisk

{Undertale}

The last character I’m covering for today is going to be Frisk! Frisk is the main protagonist in the video game Undertale. Although a lot of people think they are a girl, there has been a lot of debate as to what Frisk’s gender is.

In the beginning of the game, the player is asked to name the fallen human. Because of Frisk’s design, realistically you could name the human any name and it would fit the look of the character.

Since both masculine and feminine names fit this character, I would describe Frisk to be genderqueer or non-binary. However, it’s very much open to interpretation in my opinion.

My rating:

As stated above, I would probably rate the game for 13+, however, I think younger audiences could enjoy it too maybe with an adult or companion by their side. I really love the overall look of this game, and the music is absolutely lovely! I would highly recommend it.
