Everything's Better with Princesses: Difference between revisions

*** As [[Moviebob]] pulls it, Rosalina is '''God'''. That's right, [[Exaggerated Trope|they took this trope to the next level]].

** Subverted by the Shroob Princess of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners In Time]]'', who's the [[Big Bad]] of the game.

** Not exactly; Zelda's father the king was referred to several games. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|The Legend of Zelda a Link To T He Past]]'' he was somehow removed by Agahnim and "recovered" during the ending sequence. In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time]]'' he was just off camera in the scene where Link and Zelda spy on Ganondorf during their first meeting; god knows what happened to him after that. He was actually a ''named character'' (Gustav) in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Legend of Zelda the Minish Cap]]'' and charged Link with his mission after Zelda was turned to stone by Vaati.

** It gets especially bad in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess]]'', in which Zelda is the actual, absolute ruler of Hyrule—when the evil overlord invades, he goes to ''her'' to get the surrender! Yet Zelda still holds the title "Princess". This goes double, because the titular Twilight Princess is also apparently the absolute {{spoiler|albeit recently deposed}} ruler of the Twilight Realm.

* Invoked as part of the game's [[Fairytale Motif]] in ''[[Rule of Rose]]'', as the ruling rank in the Red Crayon Aristocrats is the Princess of the Red Rose, who is supposed to fulfill all the stereotypical princess-tropes. Since the Aristocrats are a [[Deadly Decadent Court]] consisting solely of young girls, she doesn't quite hold up to them, even if she wasn't an inanimate china doll {{spoiler|or appeared to be one, in any case}}. There's also the game's insistence of calling every single female character save for the protagonist a Princess in the narration.

* ''[[Dark Souls]]'' has not one, not two, but three different princesses. Rhea of Thorolund is the princess of [[The Theocracy]]. Dusk of Oolacile is the [[Last of Her Kind]] after her kingdom was destroyed an untold number of years ago. Princess Gwynevere is the daughter of Gwyn, the Lord of Sunlight and ruler of the world.
