ALSO does no one find it even a little weird how the old Zelda games firmly state that it's Hylia who built/was the first ruler of Hyrule (the king is just. sort of there), and then totk comes in and is like ahaaa no it's actually rauru who's so special and godlike actually. yeah, his wife was actually his priestess who once served him and then died stupidly because she wasn't paying attention. mmhm, she was also the reason ganon was able to take over hyrule and be super duper evil btw. uwu.

#THIS FUCKING GAME. THIS FUCKING GAME!!!!!!!!!! stepping away from the imperialism and racism to talk about the misogyny for a bit because #haHAAAAaaa this game fucking has it all apparently!!!!!!!! #totk critical #if you're gonna be like oh but sonia very much isnt shown to be subservient to him and is actually depicted to tease him and shit #then that's good for you that you can see it that way but all i see is them realising what they did & desperately trying to course correct #while still refusing to change the power dynamic THEY created. they could have made her hylia's priestess! they chose not to! #and if youre gonna be like oh but it's the same with hylia and her chosen hero. there's a power imbalance there too. #yeah? there is?? i dont care??? i do have double standards but also please refer to systemic misogyny and women continually being placed in #positions lesser to men for my justification. but also no one is asking you to read this or agree with me and i dont feel the need to #justify myself #okay im done. sorry sometimes i remember this game exists and get filled with wrath #freya talks loz
