Anyways, you're all doing it wrong. The picture I posted was of a computer - a Commodore 64, to be precise, thus I was attempting to kill this topic with Commodore.

And we posted other Commodores, like the butterfly and car.

learn to research

You're a virgin.

Thus proving that he has every right to be there sir

As many have theorized, the girl appears to be the manifestation of the Master Sword, a common overarching element of the Legend of Zelda series.

Now what is a sword? Well, obviously it is a weapon used since ancient times to inflict pain and death upon those who would stand in the way of whatever imperialist aggression your nation happens to be forwarding, but it also represents the power of the patriarchy. A sword is quite clearly very phallic in nature, which is not surprising given its many uses, which are tied closely with the ideas and values of traditional masculinity.

Now what does the idea of one of the classic icons of the patriarchy transforming into a young helpless female represent? Well, it clearly represents a willingness on the part of the game developers to subvert traditional masculine roles, while toying with the concepts of transgenderism and other various "queer" ideas.
