Is Zelda white? Why is it that Japan likes to blur racial lines so hard? Some characters like the new FF7 Tifa is undeniably asian but in the past it was more ambiguous (hence all the threads about her) To me most Zelda characters are white but Hyrule Warriors Link and Skyward Sword Link are weirdly kind of asian looking. Why the fuck do they do this?

The Japanese people worship Native Europeans. That's why they very often make their characters Native European looking, and the reason why in Dragonball for exmple, even though we're dealing with black haired monkeys (Saiyajins), when they get stronger they get blonde hair.

they're Hylian

They are based off of human beings

irrelevant

No? Even highly stylized characters can have racial markers, and Japan fascinates me because they get as close as they can to overt racial features without actually getting there. At least most of the time (more standard manga styles). However Zelda characters scream European but I still see people argue that they aren't sometimes.

Bump

It's just their style. Jill Valentine in RE is supposed to be hapa.

You're just faceblind. Pretty much all Japanese characters (like Tifa) have always been Asian, not white. You're just retarded

If I was faceblind there wouldn't be so many arguments about this. No one argues if western comic characters look white or not.

shut up nigger

>game based on western fantasy tropes
>DUUUHHH IS ZELDA WHITE? SHE CAN'T BE WHITE, BECUZ THIS IS A JAPANESE GAME, RIGHT?

Prosopagnosia. Learn the word you illiterate ass.

The real question is why the West is so intent on applying real races to fantasy settings.

Japan creators generally aren't thinking about race 24/7 unlike the west.
And it depends on the artist, some draw in specific ethnic facial features, while for most of them the only differing features they bother with are skin color and hair.

user, when a feature is ambiguous, your brain associates it with your own race. You're white so you associate Zelda's ambiguous features as white. A jap sees Zelda and he's 100% sure she's pure jap.

Calling bullshit. If you’re this invested in Zelda, you already know about Gerudos and Sheikah.

What's it like talking about something you know nothing about?

>Is Zelda white?
Did you not play WInd Waker? It's a plot point in that game.
