I mean, I guess if you haven't played a Zelda game since the 80s. But for the last 30 years, Zelda has been a fucking badass that don't need no man to save her. She's usually part of a secret ninja-like warrior group. Or captaining a pirate ship with a whole crew of people twice her size that look up to and respect her leadership. Or holding off Ganon for 100 years (and apparently not aging one day!) while Link sleeps in a cave, then later cooks meals in his underwear.

Zelda is a fucking badass. She just has a different role to play than the courageous hero. Neither of them could save Hyrule without each other.

And the most recent one, Tears of the Kingdom. I won't drop spoilers, but the role she played was far more legendary (and self-sacrificing) than Link's, I'd say.

That was wild! And even beyond that, everyone you met would mention how she went around after beating the Calamity and helped people. Truly the people’s princess (queen?)
