Here in 2025, I think most of us are probably ready to admit to ourselves that Legend of Zelda protagonist Link, particularly in his modern, post-Breath of the Wild incarnation, is presenting himself with definitive twink energy. Apparently Nintendo itself is not so ready to make that admission, as the username Twink Link has seemingly landed one player in customer service hell.
“I let everyone in my family use my Nintendo Switch 2 system and as a result, my sister uses it,” Funaoe24 says in a Reddit post. “Her username was recently changed to Twink Link and… console ban. I am fully prevented from accessing any Nintendo services at all on the system.”
A full console ban means you can’t access any online services from any account on that system. As Funaoe24 explains, that means no eShop or virtual game card access, effectively cutting you off from playing any digital games you’ve previously purchased, unless they were installed on your console prior to the ban.
