Just remembered that before botw I was entirely neutral on Zelda. I saw her as more or less interchangeable with peach. Generic princess girl. Who cares
Fat ass tsundere nerd Zelda…was a major shift for my perception of her as a whole. Every single version now kinda inherits that…primal hunger she stirred in me. It’s like a lust version of ptsd. Every time I see an elf princess, those memories and feelings are triggered lol
