So it turns out those comments are the exact opposite of "commonplace" considering they're disallowed.

I believe there is no princess to rescue and Ganondorf is also absent. You do still play as Link, and it takes place after the events of OoT as far as I'm aware.

But if sexism in videogames is used as an argument for great female suffering then you can't answer that without context - the context is that suffering is measured by larger issues than videogame sexism. Having watched the video, I didn't get the sense that she's using sexism in videogames as an argument for great(er?) female suffering. If anything, she's campaigning for better written female characters in games by critiquing bad examples.

Rather than that, we get a vague description of a trend that she sees, but nothing onto how it ties into the larger picture. Yes, there are tropes that put women in weak positions, but what does it mean? how does it influence us, what can we do? I think it's a little unfair to critique the first video on this basis. It's Part 1 of 2, so for all we know there will be a lot more in-depth analysis in the second video.

History has everything to do with it. Sarkeesian's whole video is based around the Damsel in Distress being a recurring idea in games. She cites examples from throughout gaming's history. If a zelda game didn't have link as the main character, and his goal was not rescuing the princess / defeating ganandorf then it isn't a zelda. Does Majora's Mask not count as a Zelda game? I'm honestly asking, I'm not sure if Zelda fans think of it as part of the series or not. Just to clarify, I'm not arguing…

It's all about context. Jim Raynor is captured and Kerrigan needs to rescue him. Interesting, Raynor is usually in a more active role in the Starcraft series. This iteration may be focusing more on Kerrigan and Raynor's relationship from Kerrigan's point of view. Zelda is captured and Link needs to rescue her. Yeah, what else is new?

The difference between Raynor and Zelda is that in the previous game in the series, Raynor was the protagonist and main hero. Zelda was still a damsel in distress in the previous game in her series.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
