its incredibly funny to me that the rest of the internet thinks tumblr is some sort of internet deadzone but every reference they make can be traced back to this website somehow. they dont think they’re quoting a tumblr post from 2011 but they are. they think they came up with goncharov but don’t know it started with a fucking shoe
Without delving into the question of how Gerudo gender roles work, there are two obvious senses in which Ganon can in fact be said to have girl power:
The Triforce is empowered by a trio of goddesses; all Triforce wielders thus wield girl power.
In those instalments in which Ganon has lost or not yet obtained the Triforce, or in which the Triforce is not mentioned, much of his sorcerous potency derives from encasing maidens in giant crystals, stealing magic from otherworldly queens and/or demi-goddesses, enslaving Great Fairies, bodily possessing various princesses in spirit form, etc.; that is, Ganon utilises girl power in the sense that his magic is actually, literally powered by girls.
You know, it’s kinda funny how much of high fantasy centers around kings and nobility and courtly intrigue considering that the archetypal high fantasy, Lord of the Rings, had the rather explicit moral of “saving the world is up to this backwater hick and his gardener because no politician, least of all inherited nobility, would have the ability to see past their own ambition and throw away a weapon”. Oh sure, Aragorn is a great king and all, but there’s a reason he’s over there running a distraction ring while the hobbits do the real work. Sauron loses because he gets distracted by kings and armies and great battles (i.e. typical high fantasy stuff) letting Frodo and Sam sneak through his back door and blow it all to hell.
Just saying, maybe old Jirt knew what he was saying when he said that the small folk doing their best and holding to each other was more powerful than a dozen alliances and superweapons and we should respect him for it.
