Welcome to Gaia! ::


The Question
Is Link a Nazi?

The Points

Link, hero of the well-known Legend of Zelda series, is often precieved as a Blonde, Blue-eyed, athletic youth. This perfectly fits the description of the Aryens, or Hitler's Master Race.

Now we look at his nemesis...

Ganondorf, AKA Ganon, is a large man of olive skin, bearing the stereotypic Hebrew Nose, and is precieved as incredibly greedy, which is also jewish Stereotype. Ganondorf often transforms himself into a foul beast.

The Evidence

While no concrete evidence really exists, One could point out the Dominance of the Hylian People over the less fortunate Desert Gerudos.
It can also be pointed out that Ganondorf had aspirations, based on texts in the Wind Waker, not to conquer Hyrule, but to provide a better home for his people.

And the Grand Princess Zelda is not safe either! She too fits the portrait of the typical Aryen. And it is almost always she who directs Link to dispatch of the foul Ganondorf.

The Conclusion

An incredibly stupid thought born from to much exposeur to The Legend of Zelda and a recent Documentary on the History Channlel.

All be this far-fetched, and even stupid, I'm interested in hearing opinions Let us discuss my people! Please, MAKE VAILD POINTS!! Why CAN'T Link be a Metaphorical Stereotype for the Master Race, and Why CAN'T Ganondorf be the stereotypical representaion of the Hebreic(?)/Judaic Race?


EDIT: The Dungeon thought to have been a Swastica, is indeed a Buddhist Symbol of Good Luck/Fortune/Health. The Swastica spins counterclock-wise, where as the Manji does not.

EDIT: The Hyrulian Swastica: The Triforce. It is EVERYWHERE! It's a religious symbol as well as symbol for the Royal Family. Coincidence?
Possible. Though, the Triforce design is based on the crest of a prominent Shogun family from Japan's past. You make the call.

Actually, communism and nazism are (were?) in opposition of each other.

of course link isnt a communist! hes a FASCIST!! Jesus, some people...
Link becomes allies with the Gerudos in OOT. He also becomes an honorary Goron and Zora. He has too many friends and allies among other races to be a nazi.
And yet the nazi's allied with the Japanese

Hitler had allies (forced or otherwise) among many nations during World War II. Immeaditly, there are Italy and Japan. And as for allies with the Gerudo, it was only because he could defeat their gaurds. And the only Gerudo to fight Ganondorf was Naburoo. The others weren't really involved.

The Japanese don't have dark skin like the Gorons or the Gerudo.
Nor do they have blonde hair or blue eyes.

Hitler wasn't a blonde either. Skin color and religion were what really mattered.
i think is just coincidence, but there could be a possibility, but i don`t mind anyways

Yeah but he had mental issues, people in Germany could actually be made fun of or antagonized for not having the "ideal look" Ironic that some blonde haired blue eyed Jews were able to get away on just that.
