Can you be gay in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom?
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is finally here – which means everyone you know will be cutting themselves off from society to play it non-stop for the next few weeks, if not months. That includes us here over at Gayming Magazine.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has already proven to be a big hit, and not just among gamers, but the gay community as well. Already we’re hunting for the best outfits for our best twink Link, and showing off our many different creations on social media.

We will update this guide as more information about queerness in Tears of the Kingdom becomes apparent.
