Why Breath of the Wild's Zelda Doesn't Break the Mold (Polygon response rant)
Channel: The Eighth Square
Date: 2021-01-24

Breath of the Wild's Zelda may be a good character, but her story arc is nothing new; in fact, it's one of the oldest archetypal stories. And yet, a woman who has a strong background in video games and pop culture and multiple literature degrees describes it as breaking the mold and credits it with helping her accept her bisexuality. I point out her general lack of knowledge of the Zelda franchise, the history of stories, and generally vent my frustration with these kinds of "articles" in general.
