Nintendo love kidnapping their women, i guess the damsel thing sells....
Anyway, while Zelda isn't as bad as Peach (who is now usually kidnapped before the game's title actually shows) she still has a few abductions under her belt. Still though she has spent at least one game as a ninja (before being kidnapped) and helped heal Midna and helped Link with what he needed to know (before being kidnapped)...
Though she isn't in every game and even though she isn't always kidnapped (I'm not sure if Spirit Tracks counts since it was her lifeless corpse that got stolen...) do you think Zelda should be less damsel-prone and more active?
Now, i dont mean active as in let her be constantly following Link around or being integral to gameplay, i mean perhaps more exposition driven, or being a character you could go to now and again (like Granny in Wind Waker) for some exclusive items or hints?
Giving her a more active role like that may stunt the kidnappings...
What say you, would you like Zelda to be less damsel-prone and more of an active character?
Or does rescuing princesses just do it for you? (Hey its why we play Nintendo right?)
