It's problematic bc the princess is a m*narch and Zelda saves her. Also, the damsel in distress is problematic. It's also problematic that I don't have a strong Gerudo gf, please Sakurai I ask so little of you
It’s problematic bc the princess is a m*narch and Zelda saves her
Its incidental because the material conditions of the kingdom are not impacted by her title and there does not appear to be any means by which she levees rents.
By contrast, Ganon(dorf) fulfills all the roles of a Monarch - extortion, unprovoked violence, imperialism, evil magic - in the Westernized sense.
Kek, I assert you take me too seriously. All I want to argue is that the Shadow temple implies that the Hyrule royal family has some... ehem... skeletons in the closet. If you take theories seriously enough, there's an idea that some redeads are shiekah (like those that guard the sun song in the royal tomb). Bottom of the well has explicit torture devices. The first Tears of the Kingdom trailer has Ganondorf all sealed up in what could be described as torturous magic which further enshrines the sheikah as a fucked up army of the royal family. The idea that you have all this torture and forbidden magic, but you don't levee taxes would be absurd by my estimation.
Also, do we know why the Gerudo captured those construction guys? Maybe the Hylians were gentrifying, you can't rule it out
IIRC the construction guys wanted to join the Gerudo gang because they just Didn't Want to Work and were captured for violating the Gerudo's "no men" policy.
I think just swapping out Link for Zelda is sort of an Anita Sarkeesian move in the way that it would be more feminist in some sense, but in the end, it's still comes down to great (wo)man stuff.
Now a game where Zelda stages a peasant revolution against Ganondorf, that'd rule
Its a first person adventure/puzzle game not a Suikoden-style recruitment rpg, so "great man" elements are somewhat unavoidable.
And one of the enduring themes of Zelda, particularly since Ocarina of Time, is going from one corner of the map to another and making friends/allies with the diverse cast of Hyrulean peoples along the way.

Surely this'd lend itself perfectly to it, then? You go from region to region to unite whatever race of beings there is in that particular game and the final shodown is all of them coming together.
I mean they have this already in the sense that it's usually Zelda AND Link taking down Ganon, just expand. Really wouldn't have to change too much around I feel

Nintendo needs to make the damned Fan Game already
