20. No Gender Options In The Legend Of Zelda

Persistent rumours spread in the weeks leading up to E3 that Nintendo would announce a gender option in the new Zelda game.

However, it turned out to be total bunk in the end, much to the dismay of those who were hoping for more inclusive ways to play the awesome-looking new adventure title.

It's not the end of the world, as fans have dealt with a male Link all these years just fine, but considering how Link's gender has so little bearing on the plot, this is a rare franchise where a gender option would work without potentially screwing things up.

Maybe it'll happen one day, but not this time. Sorry, folks.
