    Also Nintendo has stated that Zelda games are popular with women as far back as the N64 era.

    If they're "woke", they have been "woke" since the 90s lmao

      Makes me think of how women literally saved Gundam '79 when it was coming out because they were the main people watching it.

      They've also had a canonically trans Mario character as far back as the 80's (Birdo/Birdetta), even though the trans part wasn't handled the best originally: https://www.thrillingtalesofoldvideogames.com/blog/birdo-gender-trans-female-male
