My Inner Life/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** There's also the horrible anti-feminism going on, with Jenna constantly going on and on about how having a husband and children make her life complete, how she drops her job to get married, how she constantly clings to Link, how she always makes a point of riding ''behind'' him, etc. It's possible that the author was trying to write as if it were medieval times, with old-fashioned female roles, but that doesn't work since (A) Jenna also tries to paint herself as independent and strong and (B) there's no evidence that women in ''Ocarina of Time'' are so limited.

** One can't help but notice some unfortunate implications in how the king treats Jenna, a ''peasant merchant,'' better than Zelda, his ''flesh-and-blood daughter.'' He spares no expense for Jenna's wedding, breeds horses especially for her, supplies her and her family with foods, and calls her "Jenna, my sweet daughter." Zelda, on the other hand, gets ''little to no'' interaction with him, he does ''nothing'' for her, and when he finally has to refer to her in conversation, he calls her "the princess," as if he has nothing to do with her. It's actually pretty disturbing if you think about it too long! Then of course there's the fact that he'll probably pass the crown on to Jenna--because apparently, Zelda can only become Queen if she ''marries.''
