Challenge
The challenge was to do a written rhetorical analysis of a video game for class. The rhetorical analysis had to use a theory to get its argument across. I chose to apply feminist theory to the Legend of Zelda series for my assignment.
Solution
Throughout my rhetorical analysis, I talk about Zelda's character and how it grows through the games. I talk about how the damsel in distress trope is bad, and how her character sometimes breaks its mold. I use this starting point to break down the writing in one of the world's most beloved video game franchises. I have used this as a paper, and have done a speech using this analysis as an outline.
