This is generally excluded as a rule in case people are making pictures featuring cosplay or cross-species versions of characters from popular culture.

I forgot about this, that's right.

If you want to take an alternative approach gridanon, you can edit the BUR to have them both imply the_legend_of_zelda instead, that should be fine. e621 implies breath_of_the_wild with these characters but the approach we've usually been taking here on e6ai is that all mainline games get converged into the main series tag, rather than implying separate game titles (unless they're spin-offs).

Yeah, species implication is a big no-no, there is a "alternate_species" tag for a reason

Like dfy6c said here, I'll switch this to implying series if implying species is verboten.

It might be a discussion for outside this thread, but it sound like the reason to not imply a species is because someone might do a species swap? Although that's understandable, it seems weird since the species would be correct 99%-100% of the time and only swapped 0%-1% of the time. It's adding more manual tagging to the 99%-100% case.

When making implication, we gotta fight the urge to "do the job for lazy tagger". Implications must be always true.

It's easy to add "Rito" and "Kass" when Kass is depicted as a Rito. If implied, It's impossible to remove "Rito" from post tagged "Kass", when he's depicted as something else.

A good example is Link that has a human and a wolf form (and a bunny form, and a deku kid form, etc.)

Forced implication in the case of this bur will maybe be right 99% of the tome, but that 1% will be mistagged 100% of the time.
