I am trying to play Metroid to compensate, but for some reason it just isn't the same.

The idea to mentally switch pronouns is one I've heard before, but the guy was only using it for The Wind Waker. It's a lot less believable when you try it on something like Twilight Princess.

I just wish there was a gender option in the games. This would not have been an issue if they had just done that.

Also, it concerns me that apparently, absolutely nobody has had to deal with an issue like this before. Why is it only me?
