The one thing that baffles me when it comes to Ganondorf and people going "Oh Rauru is also poc-coded" "oh xyz hero character is also poc-coded" is that, even then, it doesn't mitigate all the negative stereotyping packed into Ganondorf's character. Even if LoZ happened to have a well written character of color it doesn't suddenly magically erase Ganondorf's orientalist writing and how he leverages a lot of orientalist stereotyping to bolster his status as a villain like this is such an incredibly stupid argument 😭
