#i. hate how the gerudo are both portrayed as strong warrior women but also helpless without this specific kind of outside help

[waywardsalt]

god i hate how the gerudo in totk are practically framed as though they constantly require hylian intervention to succeed… the way riju’s introduction stands out as the only one where she struggles to use her power until link comes along… the way link is chosen to decide how they should station the gerudo troops when fighting off the gibdos… the fact that one npc mentions how when zelda had visited she had somehow taught them new ways to fight in their own terrain, which should hopefully be obviously fucked up… the way the eighth heroine was revealed to have been a male hylian who came along and told the other gerudo heroines how to fight against their enemy… ugh ugh ugh

#salty talks #loz #legend of zelda #totk #the riju one can be brushed aside as introducing how her power works in gameplay but like with everything else? #plus shes the only sage mentioned to have not figured their power up and like. anyone with a bow can help link aint special #i. hate how the gerudo are both portrayed as strong warrior women but also helpless without this specific kind of outside help #totk critical #god i fucking hate what was done with the gerudo in totk amazing how nintendo has not improved since fucking 1998 #thers prob more but UGH #bitching abt totk
