I noticed it right away. I thought I was the only one who saw racism.

I don’t really see it like that. I mean yea there are different races, but so what. Do you expect there to be all the same looking people across the whole world? Would it be weird to see normal Hylians in Zora’s Domain? Yes, gamers would ask why some Hylians can live underwaters. I never saw Ganondorf as a black man, but rather a dark skinned Gerudo. Gerudo’s live in the desert sun all day so there skin would be darker than the Kokori who are shaded by the trees or the Hylians who spend alot of their time indoors. Everyone knows Nintendo is based in Japan, however, they chose Link to be a blonde, white male. I don’t think they have any prejudices. You can take any facts and skew them into anything if you try hard enough.

That would be sexist. Not really racist lol. But yea there was a lot that I did not mention. Like the zelda thing. And the royalty of the entire kingdom being the hylians.

Also Ganondorf is a man and all gerudos are women, so the women have to obey one single man..racists. And the sages are all from different races, but zelda whom is the Princess and is also a hylian is the leader (is never said which race is rauru, but nobody cares about him).
