#a. sheik went full princess attire

[galahadenough]

Sheik: Link. I am Princess Zelda Link: …wtf happened. I’m big —— the last notes of the Minuet of Forest fade…

Sheik: btw. I’m Zelda Link: running past on a loop, disappearing and reappearing as he tests out the warp song on repeat Sheik: … Sheik: …next time —— on the shores of Lake Hylia

Sheik: I’m princess Zelda Link breaks off his thousand-yard stare long enough to start shaking water out of his ears —— Sheik: fuck this digs out a dusty box, whips out a musty dress, lipstick, hairbrush, etc. goes to Temple of Time Sheik Zelda, using an odd falsetto: Link. I am Pr- Fwoop- enter crystal/magic prison, stage right Link: mouth hanging open, pointing in shock Sheik: fuck

#loz #sheik #link #oot #zelda #my post #that always bothered me #the fact that: #a. sheik went full princess attire #something impractical at the time as well as unpracticed and unnecessary #and b. immediately was captured and filled the role of damsel in distress after evading ganon for years #and i've never been sure if my annoyance was on behalf of feminism #or transmasc annoyance that sheik was shoved back into an impractical dress #either way a big loss of autonomy #but this way is funny and makes sense #performative gender for an oblivious 10 year old #and yes. I'm picturing the most over the top and poorly put together piece of performative gender #from this individual who hasn't worn a dress or make up for 7 years #and never as an adult #and did so out of frustration and a lack of patience rather than a true desire to dress up #stumbling over the dress #the lipstick is smeared #the falsetto is bad and unnecessary but Sheik is really trying to get the point across and not quite sure what that will take #but apparently ganon has the same obliviousness as the 10 year old
