    I mean, I guess if you haven’t played a Zelda game since the 80s. But for the last 30 years, Zelda has been a fucking badass that don’t need no man to save her. She’s usually part of a secret ninja-like warrior group. Or captaining a pirate ship with a whole crew of people twice her size that look up to and respect her leadership. Or holding off Ganon for 100 years (and apparently not aging one day!) while Link sleeps in a cave, then later cooks meals in his underwear.

    Zelda is a fucking badass. She just has a different role to play than the courageous hero. Neither of them could save Hyrule without each other.

    Best part, first panel is Majora’s Mask in which Zelda plays absolutely no part and only appears in a 20 second memory scene.

    My headcanon says that Miyamoto was fixated on the name Zelda long before realizing it was a woman’s name. Then he said “fuck it” and threw a princess in there.

    I know that he actually took the name from Zelda Fitzgerald, but this is funnier.

    Hey Link, you got trapped in a dream world without Zelda this time, so they’ll finally name the adventure after you!

    Legend of Zelda

    ^Link’s Awakening^
