      The slew of perfect scores BOTW received from critics shows that most still don't give a damn about how women are represented in games.

      Through the memories players can collect, BOTW acknowledges the ongoing problem of Zelda being damseled but doesn't do anything about it.

      Critics might call out sexism in games with bad gameplay but often act as if it’s not worth mentioning when the gameplay is great. It is.

          There is so much to admire in BOTW. Its gameplay is incredible. But that absolutely doesn’t excuse its use of tired, sexist plot devices.

          .@femfreq Wtfru talking about? Zelda's no damsel. She's Link’s badass, magical, genius royal military Commander who 1-ups him at every turn.

          .@femfreq She's contained said evil single-handedly for 100 years, while Link snoozes on the job then spends the game playing catch-up.

          I've been playing the game, the cutscenes say that she's been fighting for 100 years. Doesn't sound damsel distressed. IMHO

          EASILY the best Zelda portrayal in the series, but also one of the best female leads/foils in a long time, period. did you play it?

          That, or they'll call out a game for sexism without actually playing it

          you just want people to hit you with flak. It's fiction, get over it, games are not the problem.

          What did you think of Horizon Zero Dawn? I don't think it has allot of sexiest tropes, but I am biased (I love the game).

          Nearly every character trope and plot line is soggy with SJW mentality, but I don't hold that against a great game. ->

          it's almost like the ability to compartmentalize especially with regards to pulp entertainment is A Good Thing.
