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.
