why does it matter? Stop man.

no to mention that nintendo is a Japanese company.

but to answer your question, most nintendo games have fantasy characters: we are talking about talking foxes, mushrooms, sentient turtles, etc.

still, of the FEW games with human-like characters we have:
  • mario games: wario is dark skinned.
  • zelda games: gano died and the gerudos
  • fzero: several characters there
  • punch out: many, many characters there


dont go trying to find shit to get offended at, @CruelBuffalo

I haven't played every Pokemon game and the first generation wasn't in color, but every Pokemon game has characters as tan as Claude.
Claude has pretty light skin considering...

Of their main franchises,

-BOTW has some major characters of color
-Pokemon has been really good about diverse casts lately--probably because the dev team traveled to other parts of the world for inspiration. Nowadays they always make some of their main characters nonwhite.
-ARMS has a few.
-Splatoon 2 has marina

That's mostly all I can think of. Metroid Other M has a black guy who is samus's friend but...I mean...it's such a crappy game that who cares.

Punch out has some I guess. And Elma from xenoblade doesn't seem to be white

why should Breath of the Wild get credit, but not literally every other console Zelda game?
Impa from Skyward Sword
Ganondorf in Twilight Princess, Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker
The Gerudo pirates from Majora's Mask?

How are the Gerudo any more positive in Breath of the Wild than in Ocarina of Time, their first appearance?
One of the sages is a Gerudo.

Gerudo in OoT were all bad guys except for Nabooru. In BotW, it's a much more fair portrayal, with them essentially just being regular people, albeit a race of giant, desert-dwelling Amazonian women. They even gave them a bit of character, with a lot of them lamenting their woes finding guys.


This. Lol. I mean if all the darks are villains it aint great

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty the Giant from Kung Fu was the first black character in a Nintendo game. Kung Fu was a launch title for the NES.



The character himself was inspired by Kareem Abdul Jabbar's character in Game of Death.

They talk about seeking Hylian men even in Ocarina of a Time. The lore in Breath of the Wild is ripped from Ocarina of Time. Only 3 of the Gerudos in the game were bad

Not only have I played itb but it's one of my favorite games of all time too.

Only Ganondorf, Koume and Kotake were bad.
