Anonymous asked: In that it varies, slightly, by game. OoT she spends 7 years fending for herself as Shiek, only becoming a d.i.d. at the very end. Botw she's a d.i.d. while keeping Ganon at bay. Reducing everything because of d.i.d. erases a lot of what little narrative there is. It could be really disastrous if applied to other narratives. and a shrek meme, really?

idk if im “reducing everything” or “erasing the narrative” but like i feel like you cant Not call her a damsel in distress. like zeldas super cool and powerful but Nintendo Dosent Actually Care. and the plot of almost every game except for majoras mask, links awakening, and tri force heroes is “save zelda” so idk what to say.

also “[in oot]  only becoming a d.i.d. at the very end” i hate to break it to ya but:
